Richard Branson’s Necker Island has had a few hard knocks over the years, with hurricanes and pandemics keeping guests at bay.
Nowadays it’s pretty in to be a bit of a doomsayer, but that might have something to do with “mean world syndrome”. Yeah, it’s a real thing.

Richard Branson has been living in the British Virgin Islands for many years, but never before has he seen anything like Hurricane Irma.
As hurricanes wreak havoc the internet is awash with those ‘thoughts and prayers’ messages, some of which come with a spicy picture.
