Wish he’d stayed in space the complete tool.

Calls himself an environmentalist / flying jets to space for billions of pounds the absolute weapon.

A fantastic achievement to be first to make such a flight. 

Just goes to show what toys money can buy.

The whole 'first billionaire in space race' thing has just been a willy waving competition between Branson, Bezos and Musk. I'm sure Branson is very pleased with himself that he won.

Is this the same Branson who wanted a big loan from the taxpayer this time last year?

Yes thats him.

 

He wanted us all to give him more money to spend on his ambition to fly millionaires to space for massive sums of money to make himself more money.

He wanted the government to give his airline a loan in order to help it continue running which is more likely to benefit normal hard working people than millionaires. The Branson space project is not the same as Virgin Airlines. Do you have a problem with successful British business people?

Branson moved his main residence to the Caribbean about 15 years ago to avoid having to pay UK tax and is so not meaningfully a 'British businessman' any more. The UK government appear to share that viewpoint since they denied his request for a loan for his airline.

The Virgin Airlines headquarters is based near Gatwick airport meaning the company pay their tax in the UK.  

That's irrelevant to where Branson personally pays tax.
