The chief executive of Ryanair has told the Times there is "blind panic" in the UK over Omicron. This panic is driven by what he calls "inept" political leadership that is not replicated in the rest of Europe. Michael O'Leary is described as "frustrated" following 20 months of travel restrictions. He argues that unvaccinated people should face increasing curbs on their freedoms, including a ban from international travel. "If you tell someone under the age of 30 they can't get into a pub they'd get vaccinated pretty damn quickly", he says.
