Enda Kenny has "strong words" with Sarkozy

darkman2 · 12-03-2011 12:08AM #1

Looks like there has been a row between Enda and Nicolas over Corporation tax at the EU summit. "Strong words" is a very diplomatic way of putting it id imagine.

If true that he has stood up to Sarkozy (and no one else seems to have the balls to in Europe) then more please! About time Sarkozy was taken off his box at least temporarily.

They want to genuinely bankrupt us by taking away the only part of the economy that is actually working.

Pretty impressive on Kenny's part if this is true. Where'd you hear this?

Day 2: Enda attacks Sarkozy with a handbag.

About time the whole lot of them EU bastards got put in their box and the lid closed with brown tape tbh.

Going around the place acting as if they are doing us a great favour by giving us these overpriced loans with high interest to 'discourage reckless borrowing' just so we can help keep their common currency afloat.

If we'd never signed up to the bloody Euro we'd be laughing now and not paying for the next 120 odd years

According to RTE, "'Strong words' have been exchanged between the Taoiseach Enda Kenny and French president Nicolas Sarkozy over the issue of corporate tax".

It doesn't mean that Kenny actually stood up to Sarkosy. And in fact, knowing how much of a loudmouth Sarkozy is & how much of a pussy Kenny is, I doubt he did more than mutter a red-faced, few words in reply to a trademark Sarkosy tirade.

I'm imagining that Fr Ted where Enda is the dude with the whistle- fup off zarkosy you fupping baxtard

SeaFields · 12-03-2011 12:15AM

Delighted. We certainly needed more people to fight for us than the defeated, lying, yes men that have just been voted out. More Enda please.

What evidence do you have to prove that Enda Kenny is a pussy?

Having a drunken vision of Inda whacking Sarkozy around the head with a hurley. It feels good

Badgermonkey · 12-03-2011 12:20AM

We should launch Padraig Flynn at the Elysee Palace, from a gunboat on the Seine.

Imagine that smashing past short-arse & Carla at the brekkie table.

HoneyRyder · 12-03-2011 12:22AM

Damn straight Enda, we can't take this tosh from the EU poster boys anymore

Have you seen him?

The guy is a victim. The kinda kid that got kicked & bullied in school. Probably had the same stupid haircut back then & a "My Little Pony" lunchbox.

16 years in politics & he never got a sniff of power. Not even when the Fianna Fail boys had raped the country. Not even when they had pulled out & gipped all over the country's face. Not even when they scatted on us. Not even when they did it twice. It had to happen 3 or 4 times before Kenny got a look in.

The only reason he's our Taoiseach, is not that he's a good politician, a good speaker or debater, or even mildly charismatic, but that there were fuck all other palatable options that were available to the general public.

I'd say Sarkosy gave him a right bollocking & he took it like a little baby man.

smithwicks · 12-03-2011 12:24AM

If Bertie was there he would be cutting a deal.

Glad to hear someone is scrapping on our behalf.

darkman2 · 12-03-2011 12:24AM

The cheek of the French here is actually galling. They are giving us ECB money NOT to bail out our banks or us - but to bailout their own banks. They obviously think that we think they are simply kind strangers.

Hope he told Sarkozy that it is us gauranteeing the €600bn worth of loans and not the French. Be an awful tragedy for them if that went up in smoke. Be even more tragic for us of course but still we should push the point more. It's Irish taxpayers paying for this.

If he did, I will change my opinion on him completely.

Carla Bruni is the goddess of MILFs.

Wasn't he part of the cabinet in a previous government in the 90s? Minister for trade or something like that. Maybe I'm making stuff up :pac:

You have to give credit where it's due: he brought a party that was on its last legs to where it is now. He may not be the most charismatic leader in the history books, but he seems to have that quietly confident leadership quality about him. He lays out plans and people follow them and stuff gets done. Give him a chance.

Sarkozy is an arrogant little twat. He probably isn't used to being told where to go, with all the other world leaders usually licking his arse. :pac:

Solnskaya · 12-03-2011 12:30AM

"Mr Sarkazstic, I'd like to discusss thet interest rate yokey wit ye"
"Feck off and die, Enda"
"Fair enuf Mr Sarkazy soor, sorry fur troublin ye".

I'd imagine thats pretty much how it went.

He still won though.

Yes, he was Minister for Tourism & Trade.

OK, maybe I did take it a bit far, but my point is, that there is nothing in the report to say that Kenny "stood up" to Sarkosy. That's just merely speculation.

He may have or may not have.

My other point is that Fine Gael only got into power because Fianna Fail fucked things up so much. It had nothing to with how well Kenny or his party performed. The vote that swung the election in favour of FG wasn't for FG but against FF.

Daegerty · 12-03-2011 12:37AM

As a last resort we could probably invade France. they somehow always manage to lose

galwayrush · 12-03-2011 12:37AM

I'm shocked, we finally have a leader who actually cares about his country.:cool:
