    Excellent but why has RT given houseroom to Ofcom and Branson?

    'STATEMENT FROM OFCOM:
    Ofcom spokesperson: “Ofcom is a post-broadcast regulator. We do not ban programmes or decide when they are transmitted. We have long-standing rules to ensure that all broadcasters are duly impartial on matters of major political controversy and current public policy. Those rules apply at all times, not just during election periods.”

    STUART RENNISON-PRICE, CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER AT VIRGIN CARE:
    “Virgin Care has not to date made a profit. In fact, the Virgin Group - far from taking out profits from the NHS - has actually invested more than £60 million across England in the health and care services it delivers, supporting doctors, nurses and allied health professionals, reducing waiting lists and partnering with the NHS to secure services for the future.

    “In addition, Richard Branson has pledged that if we do make any future profit over that investment, he will not take a dividend and instead invest this in NHS and local authority services, with frontline colleagues deciding how.”'

    'not made a profit' LOL

    Has it gone offshore to Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands?
