Michael O’Leary on flying, Guardian readers and kiwifruit…

Michael O’Leary, the chief executive of Ryanair, talks about flying, Guardian readers and the kiwifruit:

“The chattering bloody classes, or what I call the liberal Guardian readers, they’re all buying SUVs to drive around London. I smile at these loons who drive their SUVs down to Sainsbury’s and buy kiwi fruit from New Zealand. They’re flown in from New Zealand for Christ sakes. They’re the equivalent of environmental nuclear bombs!”

“Plane Speaking: The Wit and Wisdom of Michael O’Leary” by Paul Kilduff, published by Aurum Press is available from Telegraph Books for £8.99 plus 99p p&p.
