I am not a particular lover of Ryanair and I think of myself as pro-Europe. Nevertheless I throughly enjoyed this video of Michael O’Leary being fabulously irreverent to his hosts at a Brussels innovation conference. There seems to be a rather large and solemn innovation industry which lacks what Leary has in spades: the willingness to be very disruptive.

Check out his conference bio too, another well deserved sideswipe at the standard portentous approach.

Hat tip Fluffy Links, who are probably right in saying he’ll never be invited back. Via this tweet from @sznq
