Bonjour mon petit chiot, oui vous êtes un bon Premier ministre, permet désormais de voir le taux d'intérêt, oui Google translate n'a pas me faire justice!

Right so !

Hello my little puppy, yes you are a good prime minister, now lets see the interest rate

The show last night was a complete shambles. One of the worst I've ever seen (and that's saying something). Vinny didn't let Karen Devine finish her points, which were informative. Frau Tipp was was also making a few good points which he didn't elaborate on and Dan O'Brien was sort of just there. Frankly Vinny just seemed to stop short of dong the Basil Fawlty goose step. The notion that the passage regarding further funding being dependant on us passing the current treaty being a lie was all Vinny kept reiterating and the notion that our lot got it put in there to scare the electorate seemed a bit far fetched if the document is legally binding. If true it'd be troubling in that it would demonstrate that the government was acting for the benefit of outside influences above it's own people. That may be the perception but if it was proven to be true then there would be some very serious consequences. I think someone should have tackled Vinny on that point. It's one thing being anti-FG, we're all entitled to hate parites for various reasons, but to accuse a government of setting out with a plan to intentionally mislead it's electorate at the level of an international treaty seems a bit OTT imho.

i often have visions of vinny being asked by his fish monger as to whether he wants cod or haddock , Q , a big long winded speech by browne about how everything is a big capitalist conspirocy , to which the monger replies, whats that got to do with the price of fish

I am always impressed with Karen's "points".

Vincent's a legend...:)

So Enda was having a bit of crack with Sarkozy.

Big deal. Gerry Adams and Joe Higgins must have little else to be bothered about at the moment.

And Vincent - less of the Joe Duffyesque sighing in the background.

I'm getting a bit tired of Vincent smarmy, jocose attitude to everything about Enda Kenny. Gerry Adams was just disrespectful today, and should be made apologise...

Sarkozy was a smart little boll1x, I'm sure he knew that the physical interaction between then would cause hassle for Enda Kenny... I mean it was him that initiated the gesture, Enda didnt approach him with open arms..

JonathanAnon

Mick Wallace captured my feelings every time I hear Joe starting to speak...



He completely misquoted Leo Varadkar, who made a reasonable point on Sunday about how referenda are always just an opportunity to kick the Government, and are never really about the issue that is being voted on..

Vincent is coming across as quite petty with his Enda Kenny thing alright.

No Enda was doing his little lapdog act. Its time he grew a pair and starts doing what he is supposed to be doing over there ... getting us a better deal.
Its actually getting a bit embarrassing watching him suck up and being treated like a novelty act.

Seriously though what is Wallace up to there.
Surely Joan Collins doesn't smell that bad.
Or is he just after getting more bad news about his properties.

adams was just plain rude today , calling the leader of the country an eejit , despite his past , he is usually respectfull in how he engages in discourse

I don't care much for Adams but when we acted like Enda and Nick in school we were told to stop acting the eejit.

I wish Vincent would let the man talk, way over the top.

In fairness he said what the vast majority of Irish people no doubt thought when seeing those pics of Enda.

Its bad enough we are the laughing stock of Europe without having a dancing clown for a leader.

Yeah but does anyone really care what Adams says nowadays. I heard him speaking in Irish today, does he do that a lot? What's the point of that.

you dont think the leader of your country should be spoken to a little bit better than a student in school by a surly headmaster

You not think the leader of your country should act a bit better than a student down the back of the class ?

If he didnt act like an eejit he wouldnt be called an eejit.

I expect the leader of the country to behave in a way that he does not draw unwarranted attention on himself.

I agree that the pictures of Kenny looked really bad, but it reminded me of when Paisley was walking down the Garvaghy Road in triumph, when David Trimble grabbed him by the hand (thus claiming some of the glory and prominence for himself) and marching on. Same as Enda Kenny, he probably wanted to punch the man in the head, but it would have been inappropriate..

75% of the population want a referendum - enough said.

Will 75% even vote? I highly doubt it.
