Idiots get wrong part of Virgin

A cheap holiday in other peoples misery!

Branson, who gave the McCanns £100 000 towards their legal fees, so that they could get justice from Johnny Foreigner, appears to care little about Johnny Foreigner getting justice from us.
“We at Virgin believe 100% that we owe it to our customers and our staff to ensure that our future economic growth is built on firm, ethically sustainable business models. Businesses need to be bold and creative, to develop radical new products and find alternative ways of doing business. Since innovation and creativity are at the heart of the Virgin culture we feel that our group of businesses are well placed to take advantage of the opportunity this presents.”
Richard Branson
Besides the fact that Virgin Holidays use Virgin Atlantic planes, forcible deportations don't seem to fit into Branson's Virgin Culture at all.
In any case, Virgin seems to think the 2 are related:
Richard Bransons racist conscience
I agree that climate change action is required - but not like this

I feel a little disapointed that they did not do thier research
P.S Thanks for the link.. I found this on the page you reccommended:
Checking Facts is always important
"I feel a little disapointed that they did not do thier research"

In the meantime, the target was a company that is involved in forcible deportations and was therefore spot on.
They did something more useful than anonymous whines on the internet. And well done for being impressed by greewash - not bad for someone whose opening gambit was to call others idiots, because they themselves are unable to join the dots.
It wasn't a climate camp action - it was a No Borders action.;
virgin = virgin = virgin
Confused

Virgin = Virgin = understood.
Virgin Holidays was attacked (owned by Virgin Atlantic)
Virgin Atlantic was the target but does not fly to Nigeria
Virgin Nigeria does fly to Nigeria and I'm sure it is the contraversial source
I still can't see the point - what did it achieve? Virgin is a well thought of company in most aspects and my perception of this event is not entirely positive.
If I was a keen activist I would think that this was a master stroke - but you have to consider the people who only interact with a subject like this when reported on the news. It's purpose is not entirely clear (hence the confusion above but not completely).
I'd like to know more about it, so I can decide if I agree

"The airline was renamed Virgin Atlantic Airways and on June 22nd 1984 Virgin's inaugural flight to Newark took off. The airline's policy was simple 'to provide all classes of traveller with the highest quality travel at the lowest cost' and this is a philosophy that is still in place today.
Following the creation of the airline, Virgin Holidays was started in 1985. It became operational in January 1986 with a view to selling seats on the new Virgin Atlantic routes to New York, Orlando and Miami."
"- but you have to consider the people who only interact with a subject like this when reported on the news."
Hmm, the only place it got reported is here, where apparently the simple equation "virgin = virgin" is beyond the ability of quite a few commenteers.
virgin = virgin = virgin
