Company policy is not law, and Branson's personal licence to interfere in any business carrying his name, regardless of the size of his actual shareholding, is legendary. I doubt very much whether Brian Souter or anyone else at Stagecaoch is going to raise an eyebrow over this, not least because Souter is a major SNP donor and really doesn't like the Labour Party very much.

You're right, if they have no respect for the actual law then a little thing like company policy isn't going to get in the way.
Wonder if richard has any cctv of the guy who had to stand by the bog for an hour and a half

Dragged through the mud by Richard, this story would never have been more than a byline without his interference and the old adage about all publicity is good publicity isn't true in the modern age. I have no problem with people being exposed as liars either, just as long as the person exposing them isn't behaving just as bad.
