Michael O’Leary, a keen critic of Brexit and the owner of Ryanair, believes it’s only a matter of time before the older generation of Brexiteers die.
Speaking at a Bloomberg event, Mr O’Leary claimed the British public were sold a “tissue of lies” in the lead up to the referendum and leaving the EU was “unbelievably messy”.

Shame some of us may not have that long.
No agenda here. I literally haven't seen this account for years and they're still trying to push this (likely paid) agenda on people. Media is not your friend 🤡🌏
Probably right
Oh you mean the racist elderly xenophobes? Got ya!
He’s loathsome but once I hope he’s right.
He’s right
that assumes the EU will take us back.
We live in hope
O'Leary will be 72 😂🪦
He has a point when baby boomer little Englanders have gone, I'm sure UK will apply again. Not sure EU will want them though
They'll die even sooner if they have the misfortune to board one of your under fuelled planes
Let’s hope so
Doesn't follow British politics it seems 🤪
He's older than I am, so on that basis, I will send some flowers to his funeral
Can you make it sooner.
Basically right.
He's right 💯
Not many people here disagreeing with the basic demographics.
😂😂😂😂😂
The horror stories about RyanAir have put me off from flying with them but I do love Micheal O'Leary; appreciate the zero bullshit. Also has to be said their social media/marketing team are usually brilliant.
If EU remains EU 15 years from now.
If we are allowed to rejoin. It depends if Europe want that.
What a nasty piece of garbage is that!
European 🇪🇺 Unity all day, everyday. We are better united in this dangerous world 🌎. If you support the break up of the EU & support Putin in his invasion of continental Europe, you are a TRAITOR to the UK 🇬🇧.
I doubt you’ll live to see it o leary
Can’t stand him but he is right though.
He is correct and what a gargantuan blunder and waste of money it will have all been.
Hopefully
Yep, would have to agree
Lol, we're replacing the old Brexiteers with young 'Ultra Leavers' who are willing to die to leave the EU.
He is right of course.
He's older than me so more likely to drop dead earlier .
Sounds about right.
And rejoining the EU by 2040. Like it or not, the most pro-Brexit were the upper age groups and there are as many Remain voters from 2016 alive today as Brexiteers.
This is a man who despises the uk but is happy to do business there! Hypocrite
He looks like he’s on his last legs
🤞
It will be on the agenda at the GE after next. May take another cycle to come to fruition. So pencil in mid 2030s.
When you see reform UK rallies and Nigel Farage with audiences on GB News, you know O'Leary is correct
Tell me one benefit ( apart from a bit of cheap booze from France once) I got from the EEC/EU, and one disadvantage I've got from leaving. I'll wait
We want to rejoin the single market now!
Why am I 'delusional ' , please , do tell
Why would they want us back
freestateirl Joe and Michael O'leary having a live chat needs to happen 🤞
I agree with him All parties ste scared of revisiting brexit But we was all told tick a box out or in eu It wasnt as simple as that The country us suffering as we dont produce a lot we to expensive The country suffering. And it will need be revisited by a goverment soon
Brexit hasn't failed. It's barely begun. No country needs political union to prosper.
Michael is 62 years old. I'm 43. There's more chance of me being alive in 15 years than him. Prick.
Ryan Air are theives.
Sick of hearing about these old people who are responsible for this mess. Look for the common denominator for those who voted to leave, it isn’t age.
It is nonsense because you’ll also have generations growing up with the U.K. not in the EU so These people will know no difference and more than likely won’t care or even realise what the EU is 🤷♂️
14 million ? 😂 what a nob
About right
By the looks of him ill give him 5 the old duffer
Looking at the state of you, I’m not convinced you’ll live long enough to see it 🤷🏻♂️😂
The general rule is governments that gain new powers generally never give them up. There is more chance of the second coming than the U.K. joining a failing federal political project.
LBC ( Love Bloody Communism ) Is a totally normal radio station, with absolutely no agenda, honestly.
He is an utterly delightful character isn't he.
Totally agree with him. The sooner the better.
Well, he's not far wrong. The stalwart Conservatives that ensured the 80 seat majority were summarily killed off with conceited, penny pinching during the pandemic. Tories executed a huge sway of their own voting base because that is what they voted for.
Let’s really hope so 🤓
He’s probably right!
I hope I live longer than 10 years. Oh and how dare he categorise me as delusional.
Well he's spot on
More than likely!
And he an avid supporter of the Tory party why?
Brexiteers are less likely to be vaccinated, so they won't die within 5 to 10 years
Let's hope so!
Lets hope he's right even though at 71, and therefore quite likely to die in 10 years, I might not see it happen but will always be a proud Remainer.
What Kahn did is sly he should resign.
If only we could speed it up.
He’s spot on
I've been saying that too.
he is right.
Wasn’t this guy a brexiteer or someone that voted for brexit?
And never forget ALL the Tory (CONSERVATIVE) oven ready LIES that got BREXIT dishonestly over the line. TransparencyIntegrityAndAccountability ? we've NEVER had it. ToryCriminalsUnfitToGovern
Hideous mindset. The West must do better than such entities who are devoid of multifaceted analysis not to mention possessing any class.
Very unusual remark from a capitalist tycoon. Does he not realise that the dublin to london route is the busiest route in the world? Not to mention air lingus regional and logan air is almost sold out going to Leeds Bradford and Inverness
Fantastic! He’s spot on…. Older people die… older people voted for brexit! It’s not hard to understand
KirstenIGower There is no guarantee that the EU will allow the UK to rejoin. If they do, there were be a lot of conditions. It's not going to be a free lunch for the UK as they have shown their total lack of value to the EU.
He's wrong. Young people grow up and realise that sovereignty matters. Chances are that either he'll die or the EU will collapse before the UK even contemplates rejoining.
Don’t tar all oldies with the same brush! 😠 I’m in my sixties and my sister in her seventies and we’re both remainers.
So they wont see Tottenham win any trophies then.
I’m definitely warming to him.
O Leary on the windup again 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What an awful thing to say. Besides, not everyone who voted Brexit is 70-something.
Sounds like a nice fella, not!
48% of 35-44 year olds voted for Brexit.
best news I've heard all year
I hope he's right, he needs to be. The UK Government, their tails between their legs... I stand corrected if this does happen. Praying. I never asked to leave, neither did my family. Now we struggle to find our place with the EU and simply put, the UK Government don't care.
😂
The delusion is strong in these ones. May take longer.
That is not totally true I’m an oldie and I did not vote to leave. I loved having access to Europe. I miss being a true European
Charmless leprechaun.
I’d say he’s not too far off either.
He is absolutely right ! ( and the sooner the better ! )
We’ve been saying that about Fox News folk here in the states, but somehow they don’t die. They just shoot people. Sad.
The fact that there are still brexiteers speaks volumes about the state of our media.
I think he needs to re-start taking the tablets again…..
Mick has advanced prostate cancer and cirrhosis. Who exactly is going to be dead within ten years? Ryanair
The remoaners said I'd be £4,500 worse off each year, which was a complete lie. I'm gonna be here after 15 years. My blood pressure isn't as high as those angry, grudgey remoaners. It'll kill them before me.
I’ll only be 50!
What an awful thing to say
dennypark65 Michael knows more than the Tories put together! Brexit was a joke!!
Demographic inevitability meets business advantage to both parties producing something very like UK rejoining SM & CU It’s as inevitable as global warming Coming to a theatre near you soon!
Bit harsh but he has a point!!
I doubt the UK will meet the entry criteria after 13 yrs conservatives miss management.
We won't meet the criteria for membership CPTPP deal also helps prevent us rejoining. If he had a real clue then he'd know that
he's not wrong though.
What of?
I don't normally agree on anything much that Michael O' Leary says, but this is one of those rare occasions that I think he's absolutely right. Brexit hasn't worked and we need to take steps to get this country back on track and that means rejoining the single market ASAP.
What a disgusting little man Michael O’Leary is.
I reckon Irish Independence from Europe will follow a United Ireland.
We can’t wait ten years Mr O’Leary Ryanair …. Hoping Labour will grow some…? & I don’t mean the green stuff😅
Any chance his abysmal airline could die within the next 10 years?
An utter scumbag! Says all you need to know about remainers! Possibly the most hated company around!
Do you lot in the sycophantic UK state media not understand D.I.V.O.R.C.E. The EU sees this little sewage ravaged island as a nothing now other than a state controlled by fascists.
Sooner hopefully
They are very delusional to be fair.
