There's some irony in doing so through Virgin Money.
Virgin is seeking to privatize the NHS, and the group has Virgin Care, which is one of the largest private care providers contracted by the NHS. Naturally, Virgin Care pays no corporation tax -- Richard Branson has an allergy to tax, and doctors and politicians have so far not found a cure.

Sigh. That time came 5 months ago and is now gone until the next 5 years. In the mean time perhaps you can play your part in donating in someway or even somewhere else instead of complaining.
> Using the word "Sigh" online is a surefire way to start an argument. It is a passive aggressive put down and exceedingly rude.
Now's not the time. Hold your fire and stand-down.
> Anyway pointing out the insanity of this situation is not complaining.
Well you don't have to donate through there then. Donating and raising money for your local NHS trust goes further than just 'clapping' in appreciation.
The intention is good, but if the NHS needs more money (which it almost certainly does), for wages or otherwise, increased taxation seems like the better choice.
