If the issue is that he's no longer the major share holder, then maybe he needs to get around the table with those who also own the shares in VA and sort something out between themselves. I'm sure the rest are of Billionaire status.

Failing that, IF the Government can assist then make it a loan to be paid back with interest and not just a handout. £500 Million is well hell of an amount of money to want to borrow though.
Branson does still own the majority shareholding.
