‘Ryanair boss attacks Brown on tax’

Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has accused Chancellor Gordon Brown of “using the environment to steal more taxes from ordinary passengers.”

He said that the decision to double the Air Passenger Duty airport departure tax was “regressive and ineffective”.

The move – taking effect on 1.1.2007 – meant Ryanair passengers would be taxed at more than 35%, Mr. O’ Leary added.

The Treasury said the changes would save about three quarters of a million tonnes of carbon every year by 2011.

Britannist adds: According to the Sunday Telegraph Mr. O’ Leary said in July 2006 “The EU Commission is Stalinist. The EU is an evil empire that is psychologically and morally bankrupt. The Brussels fonctionnaires are incompetent peasant politicians, morons and gobsh**es.”
