Hartlepool

He'd make a damned good UKIPPER.

As he is, I believe, an Irish citizen, perhaps Mr. O' Leary could do something for the anti-EU movement in Ireland.

One of the Irish MEPs, Cathy Sinnott, is a member of the Independence and Democracy group of which UKIP is the largest part.

I admire Mike O' Leary - his honesty and his strength in standing up to both the EU/europhiles and to the eco-bullies is to be applauded.

In my book,anyone who speaks out against the Communist European Union has a lot of guts and has probably done so because they are sick to death of it controlling their lives and businesses,they are to be encouraged and greatly admired because they are challenging the threat that is apparent in the CEU.

Well done to all those who confront the CEU,especially if confronting it uncovers some of the MPs in this country who are covertly selling our country to the new Communist European Union slave making machine.

Time to start raising our voices a little more,time to speak out and kick off the oppression that is starting to smother our free speech even more each day.

Reporter Libby Wiener said on ITV 1 Television news at 1.35 pm on 5.1.2007 "Mr. O' Leary says the Labour Government environment minister, Ian Pearson, hasn't got a clue what he's talking about."

Speaking from Dublin, Mr. O' Leary told ITV 1 Television news said at 1.37 pm on 5.1.2007 "We all support measures to rduce toe affect of business on the environment. But airlines are not responsible for most carbon emissions. The Stern Report before Christmas said that airlines account for less than 2% of the problem (of worldwide carbon emissions). The energy companies are silent about the 25% of UK carbon emissions they are responsible for - some of the power stations they use are owned by this Government of which the Environment minister is responsible. A further 18% of carbon emisssions in the UK are due to traffic on roads including lorries. These are frankly ridiculous comments from this minister (Ian Pearson). Ryanair is the 'greenest' airline in europe. We spent £10 billion on buying a fleet of aircraft which reduce carbon emissions. We are the only airline todo so. This minister hasn't got a clue what he is talking about."

UKIP leader Mr. Farage should try to have a meeting with Mr. O' Leary to see how the party can help (defend his and other airlines from the europhile eco-bullies) and to find out what Mr. O' Leary's view of UKIP is.

They have a voodoo stick and they are going to use it.

Only on people who question the order of EU you understand.

Correction to my last but one posting - the opening bit should should read as: Speaking from Dublin, Mr. O' Leary told ITV 1 Television news said at 1.37 pm on 5.1.2007 "We all support measures to reduce the effect of business on the environment. But airlines are not responsible for most carbon emissions. The Stern Report before Christmas said that airlines account for less than 2% of the problem....

An absolutely fantastic and clear rebuff to Pearson.

We all know,he and the rest of his Government department will be in hot talks on how to scuttle Ryanair in the comming weeks. ops:

I'm glad the Ryanair boss is popping up live on the media (ITV and Sky - both within the last hour) to defend his business from the europhiles and eco-bullies.

Pearson (the Lie-bour Government minister) is not coming out of this at all well as far as I can tell.

Millions have used, use or intend to use Ryanair - and may feel he (Pearson) is indirectly criticising them for using Ryanair.

At least Pearson is publicising Ryanair and I expect that what this Pearson (whoever he is) says will not reduce the number of those people using Ryanair. Maybe the reverse.

Britannist

Ryanair boss Mr. O' Leary could threaten to pull out of the UK (Stansted is its main base) if this carries on. That would damage this already discredited Blair/Brown Lie-bour regime.
