British entrepreneur Richard Branson today said his Virgin Group had pulled out of a deal involving 3,000 jobs after Britain voted to leave the EU.
In a television interview, the billionaire businessman added that Britain was heading for recession after the pound slumped to its lowest level against the dollar in more than three decades in the immediate aftermath of last Thursdays referendum result.

They are PUNISHING the British people for NOT doing as THEY wanted!!! The Brits WILL be fine without these BASTARDS!!! Just as WE will be fine without our BASTARDS!!!
No. It's not a surprise. I am convinced that the concept of ‘checks and balances’ has to be revisited regularly in the context of any sovereign nation. Why? Because self-serving people whose actions are not adequately tempered by ethics and spirituality will ultimately find ways around the checks and balances. It's a little like computer viruses and antivirus software. There have to be constant updates to counter the viruses. The checks and balances in society must also be updated, regularly, or we will fall prey to those whose focus is to get around them.
The market collapse secondary to the Brexit vote was, IMHO, a reaction by the viruses to an approach that would neutralize them.
post 4 ...I’m with you. The Brits who voted to leave probably could care less what branson thinks.
These idiots with these pronouncements are saying nothing about how the UK will fare once separate from the EU--on the contrary, they are broadcasting their own biases. Logically, why would anyone expect the UK to fare any worse once liberated from the EU than countries that have never joined the EU--like Norway and Switzerland?
I should add that I hope other countries vote for freedom in the near future.
“Virgin air is NOT a good airline. Flew that thing a few years ago and the interior of the planes are trashed.”
Plus, they don’t go all the way.
This IS GOOD the Brits NOW know who their enemies are just as WE DO!!! The Brits had the courage to do this they are flipping Branson the middle finger right now!!!
The FR pun police have rendered a verdict. Turn in yer mice.
But in doing so their arguments would be dead ended so they dropped the “America” part.
We actually want globalization.
Our globalization.
To pull back from that creates a vacuum to be filled.
People need to start thinking what they are talking about and know the history.
I read a post on another forum about the post brexit vote shenanigans, and one commenter referred to the situation as (paraphrasing), another shot in wealthy’s war against their employees. I’m sure the poster was a Bernie-bot, or the Brit equivalent, but ... given some of what we’ve seen, and this, it’s hard not to have some sympathy for the poor Brits.
Of course, they didn’t have to put the political equivalent of Lucas in charge of their country, either. That’s entirely on them.
The EU and other globalists are determined to make the Brexit movement fail for thinking they could challenge the globalist movement and restore British Independence.
The republican establishment and other globalists are determined to make Donald Trump fail for thinking he could challenge the globalist movement and restore American Independence.
This boys and girls, is what as known as a "hissy-fit". You generally see them thrown by girls in their early teens but they grow out of them.
When grown men do it they should be scorned.
Good time for a brit entrepreneur to set up their own business to mirror his.
Dow up 269.
What kills me is Obama and Hitlery were refuted in the vote.
Media: silent.
If it had been Bush, the headlines would’ve been half a page big: Brits Reject Bush
Dear Richard:
Go jump in a lake.
China

LOL
BUY.
Or else Apollogize.
“Who gives a damned. The British people WANT SOVEREIGNTY!! NO MORE ONE WORLD!! Next get those moslem killing machines OUT of your country.”
I’m thinking the same - in 1939/1940, the EASY WAY OUT was to cut a deal with Europe (i.e., Hitler), and probably remain prosperous and relative free...for a shot time.
But ehough Brits knew that this was an ILLUSION and that they were DOOMED if they didn’t step up and fight the Nazis...and the rest was history.
My guess is that even their stock market took a hit when they decided that Nazism wasn’t for them...yet we don’t read about that - for they had a MUCH MORE IMPORTANT objective.
3,000 jobs that would go to lower salary immigrants. We know how this stinking game goes. End it now.
O really-us?
