Excuse Me?

I don’t recall voting for Michael O’Leary.

Ryanair’s chief executive has threatened to ground planes after Brexit in a bid to force Britain to ‘rethink’ its decision to leave the EU.

Michael O’Leary – a  vocal Remainer – said he is considering carrying out the stunt to show voters they were ‘lied to’ during the 2016 campaign.

And the remain side were all honest upright purveyors of truth then? Yeah, right. Again, we didn’t vote for this man, so he can fuck right off, frankly.

He said the tactic would hammer home to Britons that cheap holidays will become more expensive after Britain quits the Brussels club.

So what? Again, we didn’t vote for him so it’s not up to him to hammer home anything.

But Tory MP and Brexiteer Peter Bone slammed the ‘politically motivated’ threat and told Mail Online it would not succeed in blackmailing Britons and just harm the air carrier’s profits.

Well, quite. Looks like I’ll be buying two pineapples at Sainsbury’s on Saturday…

I take some time out due to personal circumstances and when I feel up to popping my head back in the room, the nutters are still running the asylum.

You were promised you could leave the EU and everything would stay the same. The reality is you can leave the EU, yes that’s your choice, but everything will fundamentally change.

That was the point, you tit!

  1. The so-called ‘cheap’ air fares within Europe were and still are expensive compared to trans-Atlantic travel.

    If O’Leary doesn’t want his ‘slots’ at UK airports perhaps they should be given to those airlines that would like them?

    (There has got to come a time when O’Leary’s ‘Ratner’ approach to customer relations must eventually hit him in the pocket!)

  2. I wonder if he’s related to Bercow: two twisted little gnomes with outrageous egos who should be thoroughly and completely ignored.

    I bet Easyjet and one or two other budget airlines would be delighted if the arrogant little leprechaun implements his plan.

  3. Why is an Irishman from the republic getting involved in the politics of a foreign country? None of his business. His attitude just hardens the idea of leaving the EU.

  4. O’Leary is not even British FFS, so his imput frankly doesn’t count. Funny how oiks like him fail to mention the 300-strong rural community of Lisdoonvarna who are being forced to take “refugees”. Hey O’Leary, that “independence” you fought against us British for so long. how’s that working out for you by the way.

    Fecking eejit!

  6. The man who will quite happily charge for passengers to use the toilet on the plane or for water to take medication is going to voluntarily ground his planes at the cost of £lots?

    NEVER going to happen….and I say that as someone who is a fan of Ryanair. Ryanair will fly to one minute before BrexSShite and probably beyond as much as they can get away with-happy as they are to flout EU rules whenever it would cost them money.

    • I’ve flown with them in the past and had no complaints. I even jumped through the hoops to get a Bristol to Beziers flight for a fiver, just for the craic on one occasion, so it can be done. O’Leary is a grade one arsehole, though.

      • O’Leary is a grade one arsehole, though

        Always was and always will be. There was no need for him to go all ProjectFear -the state of the airlines after BrexSShite is worrying enough without “Give me your fecking money” O’Leary sticking his oar in.

  7. Yep, I only voted to leave the EU because I thought that everything would stay exactly the same as it was before. Effing Eejit.

  8. He’s going to ground planes after?

    I think he needs to co-ordinate with his fellow remoaners a bit better. They’ve been telling us that all air travel, trade and time itself was going to come to a grinding halt from day one.

    All he’s going to hammer home is what a monumental cunt he is.

  9. O’Leary’s pissed because unless the EU negotiators get smart, his planes won’t be able to use UK airspace because the Eurocrats are talking about shutting UK airlines out of EU airspace over their ‘Single European Sky’ programme.

    • Not that Treasonous Dismay would think of it, surely forcing all transAtlantic-EU and Irish origin/destination flights to go around UK airspace would be a good tat for their tit.

      • Quite, can you imagine the sheer nausea we can cause by banning all flights emanating from EU countries or bound for EU countries that used to be able to access our airspace. Anything bound for Denmark Germany, Poland etc is going to have to go north around Scotland, and for France, Spain and Portugal etc they are going to have to have much more south in the their course. As you say, two can play that game.

        • Think of the logistics of bypassing UK airspace. The extra fuel loads, the significantly longer flights. The additional costs and attendant loss of revenue.

          Transatlantic flights to Heathrow and beyond generally curl in around the North of Ireland into UK airspace over Cumbria or Dumfries.

          There’s no easy way around, almost all transatlantic traffic has to come through UK airspace. Continental Europe needs the UK as a flight hub to the USA and Canada.

  10. Another Brexit benefit then… no more Ryanair. Hooray.
    And for that twat to accuse anyone else of telling lies is hilarious. The brass neck on the little man.
