Meanwhile, his “wish to avoid being taxed by the British government means he cannot spend more than ninety days a year in the UK.” Such is one of the many ironies of life as Britain’s most famous entrepreneur.
F*** him! The routes will still be there and other airlines will need the staff.

Not been on a South of the border train in years it's true. Was on Scotrail recently... still burning diesel between Edinburgh & Glasgow!

The guy is a poor copycat - a tax dodge too, pretty crazy that tax on dividends isn’t applied to all dividends paid regardless where recipient lives, any honest investor living in a comparable to UK country would just use double taxation treaty to offset UK taxes against local taxes.
And now he wants taxpayer support, sure - bail out if business is sound but his shares should go down right to 0 in such businesses if he is not putting in his cash.
