Ties beware! Branson's about

Tie-loathing Richard Branson laid claim to yet another victim last week, as he snipped an unsuspecting businessman down to size.

The Virgin Group Founder was at Virgin Radio Canada’s Winnipeg station taking part in a question and answer session, when he noticed a striped neck-tie dangling in the front row. Before its owner could say ‘windsor knot’ Branson had taken out his trusty pair of scissors, cutting the offending item in two.

As well as making outfit adjustments, Branson spent his time at the station by supporting the Resource Assistance for Youth (RaY) campaign which looks to support homeless youth.

All proceeds from the day were donated to RaY, with Branson meeting with staff from both the charity and Virgin Radio Canada to congratulate them on all their hard work.

If you’d like to find out more or donate, head over to the Resource Assistance for Youth website.
