Ryanair Criticises Eco-Loony at its AGM and Asks for a Semi-Naked Girl Next
Year



Ryanair?s Chief Executive, Michael O?Leary commenting after today?s AGM
which was briefly disrupted by a semi-naked man making false claims about
climate change. When asked to explain how taxing air travel would help the
environment, all he could mumble was the opinion that people should ?fly
less?.

These semi-naked protestors? claim that Ryanair carries ?12m or so
passengers around Europe? is untrue, since Ryanair carries five times that
number or almost 60m passengers.

Michael O?Leary said:

?I hope next year instead of a semi-naked bloke, they?ll send a semi-naked
girl to the AGM. She would probably make as little sense as this guy this
morning, but at least she?d be more attractive.

?Clearly maths wasn?t this guy?s strongest suit, given that Ryanair carries
60 million passengers, not the 12 million he claimed. Perhaps they should
call themselves the ?plain stupid? instead of the ?plane mad? group. Some
of these eco-nuts (who advocate even more tax on air travel) are not the
sharpest knives in the drawer.

?We are sending him one of our 5 million €5 tickets which he can avail of
to travel from his home in Clare on one of Ryanair?s routes from Shannon.
Since clearly, after one of the wettest Irish Summers on record, he needs a
little break. It might help his mood, as well as his maths in time for
next year?s AGM.

?We are also sending him a copy of the European Union?s Environmental
Agency report which confirms that air transport accounts for less than 2%
of Europe?s CO2 emissions and is neither the cause of, nor the solution to,
global warming. I hope in return he?ll send me some of what he?s been
smoking on the Costa del Clare?.

They really don't give a fuck!

Superb retort.
