“WHEN you realise that you’re no longer going to have cheap holidays in Portugal, Spain or Italy, you’ve got to drive to Scotland or get a ferry to Ireland as your only holiday options, maybe we’ll begin to re-think the Brexit debate.”

This is part of a speech made by Ryanair Chief Executive, Michael O’Leary in Belgium on Tuesday. He seems to be threatening to ground flights to ruin family holidays.

Does he not realise that a large percentage of Leave voters have never been on a foreign holiday, or even seen the inside of an aeroplane?

Their main objective is to make their lifestyle a little bit easier and better.

The EU has had more than four decades to achieve this but has failed spectacularly.
