The sad truth is, Enda Kenny's a chicken

...

What happens, some wonder, when Enda Kenny is behind closed doors, with EU leaders, without his props? What happens at those meetings where the future of our children is decided?

Well, we know what happens. We've seen him treated in public, by Nicolas Sarkozy, as something of a fondly-regarded puppy. As Sarkozy tickled Enda's neck in front of the cameras, and Enda giggled, is there anyone who didn't flinch? No other national leader anywhere on the planet would dare be so casually and patronisingly handled -- tickled with affection, a pleasingly responsive pet.

Enda is like that colleague who always makes the plain as the nose on your face points in a meeting, swiftly followed by 30 seconds of dead air and a few rolleyes from all the other attendees.

If Sarkozy tried that with Gerry Adams, he'd have been knee-capped and/or disappeared.

OP you are making the incorrect assumption that the muppet has balls. But since he clearly hasn't, should we expect anything less?

Sindo in telling us something we already know due to the lack of original ideas amongst its writers shocker.

In that case I should change thread title from 'chicken' to 'hen' to prevent people from making the assumption that Enda is a 'cock'! :pac:

Indeed. By contrast, the Labour half of the government (the Red-Shirts?) has shown a huge amount of backbone...

up for anything

Funny thing though - Sarkozy isn't president any more.

Expected a 'Chicken-Boo' reveal on Enda. Thread does not deliver.

Sindo writer in shock due to

...

Two-and-a-quarter billion tomorrow. Almost eight million on Wednesday, 50 million next Saturday, 57 million the following Monday . . . and on and on and on. Reckless rich people -- in the UK, Germany, France -- bet on AIB and Bank of Ireland and Anglo. The Irish banksters in turn gambled on property speculators -- and they all lost. And we, who had no role in creating this debt, are directed to pay the bondholders, as though they won.

Meanwhile, on the front pages . . .

Enda the Bondholders' Friend smiles for yet another photo opportunity, and runs away from yet another debate. And Mr Gilmore tells us about staying at the heart of Europe. And he does so in exactly the same belligerent tone of voice he used when he warned us against Frankfurt's Way.

We are careless in our choice of leaders, and cowardly in our failure to hold them to account.

Ruairi Quinn must have braced himself for the backlash when he decided to stick it to third-level students. He knew there were photos and video around of him signing a solemn pledge not to introduce fees. Backlash came there none.
