A-Ryanair & Nazi

national | miscellaneous | news report Tuesday June 18, 2002 13:43 by Steve Jones stevie_jones11 at hotmail dot com

Ryanair are using the Austrian Nazi to promote their new service to Austria.

Anti-racists have reacted with fury and disgust at the news that Jorg Haider is to host a press conference in London to launch Ryanair's London-Klagenfurt service.

Haider is Austria's leading Nazi politician: he describes the Waffen-SS as "decent people", praises Hitler's policies as "orderly" and consorts with violent neo-Nazi thugs.

He is also a virulent racist who claims black people are "naturally aggressive" and advocates apartheid in Austria's schools.

Haider is going to London's The Royal Horseguards Hotel on Thursday 27 June to launch Ryanair's new service. When Haider went to London in 1999, he was chased away by anti-Nazi protestors.

If anyones in London next week: Stop Haider in London!
Thursday 27 June 2002
Demonstrate! 5 p.m., Royal Horseguards Hotel, 1 Whitehall Place, London SW1 (Embankment, Charing Cross)

COMPLAIN to Ryanair and maybe we should organise something in Ireland.
