BETTER OFF OUT

And he's off! After lecturing the UK on how it should stay in the EU, Sir Richard Branson hasn't just moved his business outside of the EU (he moved it to Switzerland in 2011), he's moving himself as well! http://specc.ie/18dnXbT

What do you think of the EU now, Sir Richard?

So goodbye then, Sir Richard Branson. Just one question before you go: will you, from the comfort of your sunny Caribbean tax haven, continue to lecture us about the merits of remaining in the ruinously expensive EU? It would look a little off, no?

First the non-EU Switzerland now the non-EU British Virgin Islands. Says it all.

Thoughts?

Business is business if politics want to tax bigger business down to its bones get it somewhere cheaper - You probably will find more Jobs will be saved and/or generated from this move.

Oh I agree - it's just the hypocrisy of the man saying how we ought to stay in the EU for business when he's moved his to a non-EU country.
