We love Sir Richard Branson. Not just because he is a straight-talking, high performing business leader who understands the importance of customer service and brand value but for the fact that he says what most dont have the balls to say.
The entrepreneur described to Sky News today the current downturn as "a terrible, terrible mess" and blamed "some very irresponsible people in the banking community" and "lax regulation".
"I was going to say, it's f****d, but I think I had better not have said that," Sir Richard told Sky News. "I think it is a terrible, terrible mess, which has been brought upon us by some very irresponsible people in the banking community, some very lax regulation and we are going to have to work hard to dig ourselves out of it".
Full marks to Sir Richard - and his PR aide who added "He's only saying what everyone's thinking, in a more forthright way." - too right and about bloody time someone did!
