Boris Gonna Make A Statement

[weecalf]

Can’t wait .no really can’t wait Is he gonna call an election ? resign? phone Donald?this is gripping stuff .

He's going to be a new man, humbled by the dedication of medical staff etc and from this day forward a different outlook will prevail as he turns the ship of state from its current course for the rocks to one of clear blue water where everything will be wonderful.

Once his mates are properly weighed in and we've paid back what was lent to us by flinty-eyed bean counters.

my money wouldn't be on an election :-)

Lets hope he slates Virgin, for being a complete beg and shambles of a company, not paying UK taxes begging for bail outs. After Richard sued the nhs. Socialism for the wealthy is apparently no issue, yet socialism for those who desperately need it is condemned, and highly criticised.

Yes I hope Boris calls for the UK to boycott virgin. Cancle your subscriptions, stop using virgin to donate to the NHS.
"Run 5, donate 5, nominate 5" is all being donated via virgin media.. a company who sued the NHS and is begging for multi million pound bail outs.

The general population is expected not to live pay check to pay check, yet some of us have to. What The Funicular is virgin media doing? Why do they need bail outs? I hope they go bust.

Have you got a link about VirginMedia asking for bailouts as well please, TD?

It’s just going to be “Hello, I’m back, we’re fighting CV, lets all stick together. Thanks to the key workers. See you later”

That last link... "Run for heros" and give us a % of the money whilst yer at it... Whilst we're begging for bail outs.

Scum.

Why can't people just directly donate to a hospital? These third partys are scum.

"Virgin Atlantic has called for a £7.5bn cash injection for the airline industry from the taxpayer and last week took a number of “drastic” cost-cutting measures."

Okay, I knew about those, but it's the links to support your VirginMedia bailout story I was looking for

[naomi24]

//The Virgin group mogul asked the government for state aid – but he's not always been in favour of it....[Branson's]background certainly makes it politically more difficult for the government to offer state aid to Virgin companies.//

Quite a bit to chew on here.
