"Then Brandson" does what?

@@schell0118 Branson ?

@@marcmoloney9310 I know that. I was quoting Fiona Fay.

Haha indeed!

@@schell0118 :-D

And his passengers by banning social distancing...

No one complained about Branson when he funded the Remain campaign or bought NHS services?

kal77uk that doesn’t justify anything

Agreed

O.Leary is a jerk. Like the rest of Ireland they can beg the EU for subsidy.

I would not trust Mick O’Leary on anything.

Or even his cheater background 😁

Daniel Kearney weird 😂

It’s spot on !

Exactly))))))))))))) The cheetah is worth the refund, bail out ... These guys ...

He seems to generally always talks sense.

He mostly talks sense

@@choppa1016 Mostly

@@apexduplex7351 O'Leary is probably one of the best and adept CEO's in the World hence his long tenure at the helm of a highly profitable airline! Shareholders and bond holders clearly are backing my sentiments otherwise he would have gone years ago! However, one only is as good as your last set of financials!

Chris Mcbride I hope thats all it is a Tax haven ,The old Pervert.. 🐍

Cormac Keenan no but he is calling on the government to pay for the seats social distancing that they can’t sell.

@@keithwebster6164 for reasons that he explained. If they do that they will be operating at a loss.

Use his mass profits to pay staff

Brendan Sweeney pot and kettle

Patrick Johnson dame playing field for everyone then . All it will do is force prices up.

lol

I would like but there is 69 dislikes

😂😂😂 love it !!

Have to agree

And while he can be an asshat, he pays personal taxes in ireland rather than running off to a tax haven. Ireland may be a corporate tax haven but not an individual one and O'Leary is frequently the largest tax payer in the state.

Not generally a fan of common sense so.

Genius - that made me smile, very witty, love it

Suzanne Bellamy lmao

Branson does not own all the equity of V Money, just like V Media. Owns a few percentage points, of each and gets license fees for use of his brand.

Suzanne Bellamy According to the press, he is not getting any monies. So very pleased, as he has been a tax exile, for fourteen years.

Suzanne Bellamy bloody hell no lol, I own virgin money shares.haha ... Branson is a complete sycophant...but he is a globalist.

Charlie Brefo That would be a bad investment. Why invest your money when government handing it out? Business people don’t throw good money after bad.

This is the thing he doesn't want to forego his riches, he wants to maintain all.. What a greedy little man.

@@Luvliv89 Say that again !! Gorden Ramsey and Victoria Beckham should also be really ashamed !!!! They are all rich enough to bail themselves out !!

Charlie Brefo, Richard does not need to sell his island, he has enough money anyway

Who says it's possible for him to sell it in current circumstances? Who says anyone would buy it? British ppl will lose out on a quality airline and be left with low quality ones

no he os just fleecing his customers by not paying refunds

That's why the elite hate him, and he p ays his táxes, he's not an exile like Branson

Was he telling it like it is when he was a climate change denier too?

To the irish government*

Not my experience. And not what statistics say. This climate change denier wants free adverts here again

​@@MrPhelimdoran People like to complain about Ryanair; however, they offer many the opportunity to travel who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford it. Nothing wrong with free advertising; means your flights are cheaper! They've improved significantly on the refund front over the past decade or so and have a very clear refund policy. Coronavirus has hit all airlines equally when it comes to refunds and extended waiting times. MOL likes to occasionally down play climate change but at least he does it using facts. I'm not saying that we shouldn't look after the environment (we absolutely should) but there are many more industries that put out a much higher volume of green house gas emissions whilst gaining less reward. Aviation is one of the most efficient industries out there and trust me, if airlines could have more efficient planes and pay a lower price for fuel, they would. Just wanted to bring up these few points.

Very good with refunds Ryanair, also the flights are a bargain.

Talking out your arse, not too hard to realise your not the only person in the world

@@ChidiLifts I have recently been refused refunds by Eithad and Condor both large carriers. In early January I was provided a refund by Ryanair in 10 minutes on live chat, the money entered my account in 8days.

The only Irish I’ve ever heard talk straight.

So do I. The kettle's in a different room and they sound better from there.

In a mad world, yes @@athirkell

alexxxth yep 👍 I’ll be out straight with ya.

@@athirkell it's an irish saying but your getting it,🤣🤣👍👍👍

@@earthsgard Nothing but a mouthpiece , he is not liked in Ireland , after he sent one of his jets to bring in 200 strawberry pickers from europe WHILE THE COUNTRY IS IN LOCKDOWN Richard Branson is a Gentleman not like o leary , Branson is trying to look after his staff

@@radiohfandsw4907 yeah by steeling from the tax payers

Also, let's mention Virgin Health, and Branson's fits about that.

Except he can do what he wants with his money if he doesn't get any assistance

I mean I’d be happy with a million in the bank never mind all that. The power of the super rich and government is out of control. We all deserve a better life than spending all our time working to make there’s better

Vast

JL H At least Branson is putting up some collateral to guarantee the loans. That is probably why this guy is pissed off. Branson isopening a can of worms that this guy is not prepared to do.

@@claudemaassen2963 Actually, Branson was denied a bailout request by the government due to the fact that he had little to no reasoning on why he deserves it, so he then went up and put his island in the caribbean as collateral. Why didn't he do that at first, he's got a hotel in Africa, he can put that up for collateral, he's got enough money!

Claude Maassen and Branson is a billionaire,who essentially owns the company. O’Leary is a wealthy man,but not in the same league as Branson. Also O’Leary doesn’t own the company,only the CEO,owning roughly 4% of shares .

@@1sparkythebouncer o' Leary nevertheless doesn't like Branson's approach and will do anything to prevent it. This, in spite of not owning the airline he works for.

Yes we do, I was very surprised by his answers but I do respect him just a tad more for an honest interview

Thick

@@mirpurijournal8451 don't be so hard on yourself 😉

@@gail9299 I was referring to your brain.

Robert Allardice yes of course. He’s a resident, he must pay tax.

Mr Mawson idk some ppl with all night and work so day just to pay the bills they have to pay

Ain’t it sad 😔

Hahaaaaaaa🐯🦁

When was your flight? 2 years ago? LOL

He is very good. Speaks the truth.

He says it like it is..would be a great politician

@@rogerward3390 there’s a great late late show interview he has great points about the government over regulating the tourism industry

after all this enjoy staying in this country more.it makes sense.

That's the main reason we are seeing less air pollution.

Tiger King 😅😅

He Irish. Leave him alone. 😉

It's the first thing that got me....Michael is the KiNg of trolling

The last time I flew Ryanair, I ended up dropping a bag om two women's heads, sitting in the wrong aisle and then had to take someone else's window seat (that they paid extra for) because she couldn't get past the elderly man to my right. All in one flight. Think I'll just fly aer lingus next time

From what I've ready, 'never' is enough.

Not working class. Came from relative privilege.

@@alysonoleary2841 These people are never "working class": they have the money and the 'connections' to get them started.

Yeah, funny how it takes seconds for them to take it from your account, but months to give it back. Why the wait?

He’s not asking for a public bailout like the others. I think that’s fair. Ryanair work off a cheap flights and low customer service model, it works.

He got his "no frills airline" ideas from "Flight Of The Phoenix" (1965).

Few are. They don't really have Pan-european low cost competition. It's really local competition on specific routes by many airlines. For example, Aer Lingus give them a run for their money on routes from Ireland.

Yes exactly.

He gave his reason, staff can't work due to covid 19 social distancing regulations.

@@OCinneide how does nearly other contact centre in the world continue at near capacity with agents working from home, but not Ryanair?

MFL FREAK He is the genius behind Rynairs success.

@@LeMerch yea he has grown on me. People complain about the flights but for 30 euro I get to Rome, Amsterdam, Berlin, at times. Brilliant, hope it can continue

Legend he is

@@Irishesbox11 I'd neatly vote him Taoiseach. Toughbutfair.com

Virgin Atlantic pay £350m a year in taxes, so I doubt it

Shame it's wrong though, maybe RyanAir dont have costs, but Virgin Atlantic for example do as they do not own their planes, they are leased

Huddy Dhuddus the only war is socioeconomic warfare .... it always war against the many by the few

That's always been the case. The veil has just been dropped during this pandemic. I think people are starting to wake up a bit to it though.
