Boycott Ryanair

"the unacceptable face of capitalism" - a FF minister on Ryanair 2004.

Drip, Drip, Drip, the reasons were many and constant to examine the popular support for Irish owned airline throughout its growth.

Its tawdy treatment of disabled passengers.
Its poor worker relations in other countries and preference for non-unionised workforces.
Its current struggle with the Irish Airline Pilots Association.
Its history of fraudalent advertising.

Again and Again it has proved to be "the unacceptable face of capitalism".

This morning Ryanair will close a deal with Boeing to purchase at a cost 4.5billion€ a fleet of aircraft.
Thus proving a clear commitment to the arms industry, war economy and utter disloyalty to the European project.

There are aircraft available which are made in Europe by European workers, the purchase of which would help guarantee the European industry.

Furthermore from the smallest manufactureres to the llargest (airbus) the links to the arms industry and war economy are not so blatant as with Boeing.
