Rejected petition No tax payer funded bail out for Virgin airlines

Rejected on 1 April 2020

We want the government to tell the public that there will be no bail out for Virgin airlines and the taxpayer will not foot the bill

Sir Richard can fund his own airline from his own countless billions without much great loss to his own personal finances and we don't see why he should be bailed out or any airline company just because of this worldwide pandemic
Like the banks, they are never too big to fail and if they can't survive this crisis then that is not the public's fault
Have a debate in parliament or in another type of committee who might oversee such matters and make sure the tax payer doesn't get stung with a huge bill yet again because a business might be in trouble
