I think I prefer the Dutch response

Typical attitude of these big companies, all happy to take the good times, but as soon has something affects their profits they are there with the begging bowl. On one hand the government have had a letter handed them begging for £7.5b on the other hand Virgin Atlantic are telling employee's to take 8 weeks UNPAID leave! Well those employees need to be able to afford to eat to! While Branson comfortably sits on a worth of over $4 Billion.

Whilst enjoying his island retreat in the Caribbean......must be hard living a life of the wealthy.

Yep could happily spend years in isolation if I had a constant supply of ganja

Almost certainly heading for a recession. The disaster capitalists will be loving this.

Anyone else concerned if the whole country takes over a month off that its going to doing catastrophic damage to the economy?

If other countries continue to do the same we could be looking at 1929 again.

I used to fly with them as a frequent flyer in their early days. Mainly because they were good with the kids. But once the kids grew up, I fooked them off. Had a bit of a disagreement with them tbph and because they annoyed me so much, I never ever flew with them again. Maybe Branson can take some money out of his space program, to save the precious airline.

He's actually advertising on Twitter.

Any idea how long these ventilators take to assemble and the cost of doing so. Is it an easy job, difficult one?

No. Terrible I presume.

I have no idea and, I suspect, neither does he.

Biggest drop in the Dow since 1987.

I'd be surprised if he didn't. It would be the first question I would ask. How long does it take to assemble, how easy are the parts to obtain, is it a difficult or easy task, and what's the cost involved.

Nice.

Just what we need.

If this virus comes out as chemical warfare then heads will hopefully roll.

No they won't they will just claim its a conspiracy........

He's a complete lightweight and a yes man. He trots out the soundbites he's been fed by Cummings and sometimes gets them wrong. Jeremy Hunt must be absolute pissing himself with laughter.

A brutal tangle of red spaghetti?

 

[Willhoops]

Wait, what? So this is an attack? By Whom may I ask?

Fooking hell, it was a simple enough question, I didn't expect a political preaching on it.

The Fed cut rates towards zero late last night. It was supposed to provide a stimulus but seems to have massively spooked the markets. FTSE down 8%, Dow down 12%. Both coming back 1% at the minute but that's like saying you were expecting a dozen kicks in the nuts but only got 11.
