Richard Branson is apparently a very nice guy to work for. Certainly, a few friends who worked for his various companies loved working for them, and got a lot of perks (things like money off of products and services from all Virgin branded companies for both the employee and their family).
It's also worth noting that he will remain wealthy regardless of whether Britain does well out of brexit or not. He, like other multi billionaires, can move his money to wherever is profitable. He has little to lose if Brexit causes Britain problems, and, I would argue that being the astute businessman he has often proved himself to be, a lot to gain if Brexit is good for Britain.
The people who will lose a lot (potentially everything) are, in a lot of cases, the poorest people. Especially those in areas that voted to leave, as a lot of the areas that voted to leave were receiving money from various EU schemes intended to spark regeneration in given areas. Money that is likely to stop when we leave the EU, and money that our government has not promised to replace.

Its ok for people to say that he is a nice guy. But if he was such a nice guy. He would allow VM treat its customers with contempt and allow a company to treat its customer's like Bottomless pits of money, and always put subs up

He is apparently a nice guy. He also has nothing to do with the day to day running of Virgin Media.
