Richard Branson has once more criticised Britain’s decision to leave the European Union, saying Brexit was a “tremendous mistake” that is “already affecting the lives of my countrymen”. This was reported to an Italian media outlet where he was visiting a shipyard in Genoa.
The tax exile who spends most of his year in the Caribbean on Necker Island believes Britain’s exit from the EU “is already affecting the lives of my countrymen, for the worse, and it saddens me”.
Mr Branson is an outspoken critic of Brexit and earlier this year he called on MPs to vote against the Withdrawal Bill at the end of Brexit negotiations.
During an outspoken interview with Bloomberg news earlier in the year he said:
I’ve been an open book as far as Brexit is concerned. I thought it was a disaster for the UK, very sad for Europe. I think the facts are now beginning to be very very clear what a disaster Brexit is going to be.
Sadly it’s the very people who voted for Brexit out in the rural areas of Britain that the latest research shows are going to be the hardest hit by Brexit.
I’m still hopeful when all the facts are on the table in front of the House of Commons and people realise just how damaging it’s going to be for Great Britain that Britain does what Ireland did and they change their mind at the last minute.”
