        @Ryanair should have had him arrested at the time not wait until social media publicised it

        Unfortunately @Ryanair staff would do anything to make sure the plane left on time, including not removing the dreadful passenger, probably air stewards would be fined for late departure 🤡

        Sadly I'd bet if they had they'd have got 6 months inside while I bet he gets off scot free

        Horrible incident. Man should have been removed, or moved at the very least. I hope Ryanair push the boat out and look after her. Maybe they can go mad by their standards and give her a free water or a complimentary wee.

        Where have you pulled ‘Brexit’ from with this story?

        Remoaners will grasp on fairy dust to support the ill conceived rhetoric! Take no notice, in fact laugh them off as being toy hurling babies with little understanding of democracy. 🙂

        Ryanair should have removed the verbally abusive & racist individual from there flight immediately & ban him from future flights. I hope the @EssexPoliceUK follow through & charge him accordingly. I also hope Ryanair give Free 1st Class Flights to the daughter & her mother

        I’m guessing you don’t fly Ryanair too often. To mention them and first class travel in a single sentence is like talking about a vegan steak sandwich.

        @RyanairFlights should definitely compensate & upgrade any future travel with the customers preferred airline choice. What a horrible experience in a confined environment for a prolonged duration. That poor vulnerable 77 yr old & her daughter. @EssexPoliceUK please take action
