Branson-Brexit="worst thing that's happened to Britain in my lifetime".

Richard Branson has been quoted as saying that Brexit is already costing his businesses tens of millions.

"You make a list of all the pluses and all the minuses and the minus list just grows. Nothing that was promised by the Brexit people is going to happen, not even immigration curbs. People are beginning to realise we need people from Europe to help our economy,"

You can knock him but this is a British self-made entrepreneur whose businesses are worth over £5billion. It employs thousands of people.

Can't say I've ever actually been bothered to take a great deal of interest in the man he ran off to a tax haven, as soon as he could. If he cared about uk he'd be here paying his taxes.

Hi

His Companies employ a lot of people here in the UK and pay corporation tax here.

He himself doesn't pay a lot of tax here.

Any loss in profit for Companies based in the UK means less Tax for the Government to fund things.

One 'plus' overrides all the 'minuses' in my opinion: the restoration of our sovereignty.

We have been a sovereign nation since 1066 and if we remain in the EU it is more than likely that we shall soon lose our position as an independent nation. All the signs are there: the Euro, the EU Army, the ECJ, etc.

It worries me that, after all this time, we should become just another region within a European superstate that some have been calling 'The Fourth Reich' on the grounds that the perception is that Germany would, in effect, be in complete control. That almost happened twice in the last century, and many believe that this is just a third attempt.
