@AskVirginMoney I’m sorry but you are a complete shower. I have wasted another hour today being shuttled around call centres. Credit to Jasmine and Marios for trying to help but they keep transferring me to a dead number. Your problem to fix. Banking ombudsman and national media next

[Simon Collins @SimonCollinsUK]

Unbelievably poor response from @VirginMoney trying to report fraud. Had to repeat details several times before being transferred to a specialist that doesn’t answer the phone. Are you interested in fraud?

[Simon Collins @SimonCollinsUK]

@AskVirginMoney I will delete. I’m not calling that number again. I did not apply for the card and do not want it. You sort it out please, I have wasted enough time with you

Short selling of shares is ordinarily part of efficient capital markets - but is it time to restrict or tax it? See my thoughts: https://t.co/GQterJN50j

If Amazon are recruiting 100000 workers to cope with online shopping boom surely its time for a windfall tax to help struggling small businesses?

Just thought I’d say thanks to everyone in the NHS. We appreciate you at all times, but now you’re superstars. Thanks❤️

17 people got on my (142) bus this morning at 4 different stops. Not one single person said good morning to, or smiled at, the driver. I’m going to try harder🙂

@Chf_Eng_Air Swift recovery Julian, and well done for raising it.
