Reply to: Corbyn Bang To Rights By Virgin CCTV

Indeed. He has nothing to do with Virgin Trains, which are now owned by Stagecoach. They use the Virgin "brand" because it is seen as having more "value" to the consumer. Which translates as basic marketing bollox.

Just looked that up; Stagecoach own 49% and Branson is still very much active in the company

In associated news, Air France / KLM have bought a 31% stake in Virgin Atlantic.

And I was just pointing out that Branson being a smeghead is irrelevant to the story - just typical smear tactics (even if true!).

And the makers of this video - you know they're just publishing the untainted truth... how exactly?

I love the internet.

Indeed. The truth is out there....

Regarding Branson, I know and remember the original case. The then Customs and Excise calculated he owed around £3,000,000 by falsely claiming back the then Purchase Tax. His mum came to an arrangement and paid Customs and Excise just around £500,000.

There is nothing leftie about my post, I was merely pointing out how the media manipulates a story.

Of course there's no way at all that the new video isn't carefully edited. Thanks for adding the stuff about Branson; it reinforces that this is typical lefty fudge. "It must be true, because Branson isn't nice".

And he avoid being remanded in prison because his mum posted her house against bail. But I love the way the lefties hint about corruption. "He got off, because he was rich".

Presumably you've not frequently traveled by train or never managed to work this out?

In a nutshell.

That type of imbecilic uninformed knee-jerk nonsense has darmy's fingerprints all over it.

He has still to master ring pulls on cans too!

What point of reserved don't you understand?

Way it works on trains is they are reserved from one station to another. As you walk up the train you look to see if that is already past or current, or later after you get off the train. If so you sit on it.
Regularly the reserved seats don't have anyone sat in them at the point they are reserved anyway - they didn't make the train or they sat somewhere else. At which point you sit in it.

If you get an open ticket the system will book a seat for you, but you may take any train. The seat would be reserved, but there's no ticketholder to sit there. Unless there was someone sat in the seat i'd have had it - certainly before curling up on the floor by the bogs.

It seems an appropriate time to remind people of Branson's tax fraud and how he avoided prison because his wealthy mum.

As was pointed out from the onset, he could have sat in the reserved seats.

Also while it looks like most of the seats in the empty are occupied, note that they don't mark all of the seats with green dots that are then removed, why not? Indeed, later he goes and sits in one of the seats that wasnt marked with a green dot. If you're going to spin a year after the fact, don't make it so obvious.

Branson was, it turned out, far from the first person in England to think up this particular hustle, and it didn’t take customs officials long to catch on to him. According to Bowers, investigators immediately began probing Virgin’s export forms after an employee at the record label EMI suggested there was “something fishy” about Branson’s low record prices. Then they noticed that Branson claimed to have exported 30,000 records inside of a single Land Rover. The four-wheelers were big, but not that big.
