Overbearing?
OPINION: Dust ups between rural media and PR types aren't unheard of but also aren't common, given part of the job description of PR is to grease the wheels and ensure clients get good media coverage.
While they dress it up as 'advancing mankind', the reality is, it is just an excuse to show off how obscenely rich and publicity-hungry they all are.
Your old mate was a little irked by the holier-than-thou attitude of Branson.
The Virgin boss claims he does not eat meat because he is worried about the impact of farming on climate change.
However, he doesn't mind burning tonnes of carbon flying people around the world to get to his New Mexico base and take off to space.
Surely a few steaks and the odd drink of milk is far less damaging to the planet than all the rocket fuel Branson used in his self-indulgent space flight!
