Airline boss in 'lazy frogs' jibe at French

A UK low-cost airline chief branded the French “lazy frogs” today after one of his planes was delayed flying back to Britain by protesting French students.

Philip Meeson, chief executive of Jet2.com, was incensed that French police allowed about 50 students to stage a runway sit-down that stopped around 100 passengers boarding a Boeing 737 at Chambery airport in the French Alps last night.
