O'Leary says............... But he would paint a grim picture. wouldn't he...??? I would not believe a word he says. I suspect He has already made contingency plans to double the fares because of Brexit....... He doesn't want to loose the british hubs.. the best and steadiest profits come from the UK as far as I am told. I enjoy hating Ryanair with a passion, but that is beside the point.
I agree, only ever flown with them when forced or there was no other option, an airline to be avoided if you possibly can
There are likely to be a lot of "far fetched" stories pushed out during the Brexit period, intended to "nudge" public opinion.
Well Mr O'Leary himself thinks it unlikely according to at least one of your links. And I said nothing about Open Skies prior to my response to Dom.
And yet you said " I sense he is indulging in baiting" in direct reference to my post regarding the US-EU Open Skies Agreement and Ryanair's warning. Are you now going to apologise? Both you and Methersgate owe an apology but I'll not be holding my breath whilst waiting for your impending loss of face.
No I sensed your whole series of posts are/were baiting, these from the man so totally committed to BREXIT and yet now providing excellent arguments against it. And look again I was replying to Timmers, and I was specifically replying to the point I highlighted in bold. Willing to apologise? No, I still think you were or are up to your usual pot stirring i.e. baiting.
Civil aviation existed before the Open Skies Agreement, but low cost air travel was not widely available (it was available to some extent through the use of fifth freedom rights by some carriers). Markham was attempting to suggest, rather absurdly, that air travel to and from the UK would be liable to cease if we left the Open Skies Agreement. That is an absurd exaggeration. Michael O'Leary might have to decamp from Stansted but higher cost air travel would continue, as it did before the Open Skies Agreement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedoms_of_the_air Markham was obviously trolling, and I look forward to his correction and his apology to anyone whom he deceived.
Why should I? You haven't apologised for your immoderate language and your scurrilous insults and accusations you posted on 24th June and subsequently. Hell will freeze over. Bye.
I would not trust a Philippine Bank with a large amount of money but not for any specific reasons heretofore mentioned in this thread, I would just be scared, it is a foreign country and I just don't know what might happen, it could be a repeat of Marcos soon, Sept 22nd (I think is the date to watch) but I hope it never happens again, but if it did who knows what the banking position would be, one might guess the currency would tank, and the chances of losing the contents of a personal account might be very high as Markham says. However if you trust your partner you have an alternative account that does not have foreigner written all over it, you still have future currency risk in the event of a dictatorship, but the chances your funds will be seized are lower. Unfortunately I don't trust my partner and her account will never have a significant amount of cash in it. (edit: that should be ex-partner she is free now as far as I am concerned) Saying all of that I know British and French people who run businesses with reasonable amounts of capital and cash reserves in the Philippines, they seem to survive quite well.
this might help moderate the open skies agreement although not all passengers will be grateful With thanks to Captain Scarlet and his Angels

On the other hand, Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC), says that Britain's economy is performing better than the other six nations in the G7: And the Financial Times reported earlier this year that "UK shrugs off Brexit fears to be fastest growing G7 economy in 2016".
Personally I'm more interested in what the economy will look like in a few years time when Brexit is finalised and we can see the benefits of leaving the EU. For every link you post showing the economy supposedly faltering we in the leave camp can also post more optimistic news surrounding Brexit; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-39544130
Don't you just love these prophets of doom in the Remain camp, almost willing the economy to fail so that they can chant "Na na nee na na, told you so, told you so, but you wouldn't listen! Give up now?". This to coerce us into getting our politicians to stop Brexit. What those rabid Remainers who are hell-bent on rejoining the EU are keeping quiet about is that the EU will exact a high price: almost certainly we'd have to join the Schengen and Euro zones and we'd enjoy none of the rebates or the remaining vetoes that Maggie Thatcher successfully negotiated.
I certainly get the same impression, the remainers are hoping the economy stalls so they can carry on moaning that leaving the EU was the wrong decision. We all know there will be turbulent times ahead, nobody on the leave side expected anything else. I'm starting to feel a little sorry for the ardent remainers, just changed my mind, the hell I am
And that is exactly why we were stupid to leave. Once out we will never have the same position of strength in Europe again.
