Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary attacked with cream pie by activists in Brussels

Michael O’Leary has been attacked with a cream pie as he arrived at the European Commission’s headquarters to deliver a petition to Ursula von der Leyen.

The Ryanair boss was struck as he stood alongside a cardboard cutout of the European Commission president, who he planned to hand a Ryanair petition signed by 1.5m people.

Ryanair is actually one of the most eco friendly airlines on the planet because of how many people they put in each plane.

[cvrcvrponglica]

He pays those activists to do that....for better attention

[milliondogs]

Can we please start called them custard pies?...because these headlines seem misleading.

[Paul-kfws]

Hope they charged him extra for that 😅

[marcushendy]

Getting pied in the face by deranged eco activists should be taken as a badge of honour, imo. O'Leary handled the situation very well.

[nitrixrules]

That is assault. I hope they are arrested but... they are on the "correct" side of the grift so they will likely receive lifetime compensation

[Jj-ffvq]

😂😂😂 That's an extra €7.99 Michael.
The least he deserves!

[boop]

correct me if im wrong

but isnt the Ryanair fleat composed of planes which are have little to no leg room, no classes, and usually operate on a lot of relatively young planes?
in terms of airlines, wouldnt ryanair be one with one of the lowest carbon footprints per passenger?

What % of women actually go to jail for these acts?

[WarriorFireShorts]

These women need to go pie the leaders of india and China if they want to make a real difference

[dkoz]

This is arrestible offense. In all 50 US States and territories. What a pair of b's! Shame

[Marktb]

That's assault; not funny. Arrest them.

[damianlord]

Imagine the massive uproar had it been a man who’d pied a woman in the face. It’d be in the news for weeks and he’d be dragged through the coals for assault these days 🤷‍♂️

I remember giving my girlfriend a cream pie

[-DC-]

This wasn't at all what I expected 🤣🤣

[mikampofo]

He now has protestors in his profiterol vision..

[moonknightj]

Love seeing the rich get their just desserts

[anthonyberry]

Safely say they were tipped off by the commission.

[derekharrison]

HA, HA😸There used to be a TV show called TISWAS that had a character that specialised in attacking people with Custard pies.THE PHANTOM FLAN FLINGER!😉

[McFlashh]

These environment activists are so funny, how are we going to travel around the world without planes?
