Michael O'LearyA lot of lies and misinformation has been put about by eco nuts on the back of a report by an idiot economist [Sir Nicholas Stern]. Environmental head bangers are talking nonsense when they claim that aviation is the fastest-growing source of carbon emissions.

Michael O'LearyThe chattering bloody classes, or what I call the liberal Guardian readers, they're all buying SUVs to drive around London.
