Enda kenny really milks the bejaysus out of a wee bit of good news doesnt he

Specialun · 30-10-2013 06:43PM #1

Just had an 2 hour long drive and any radio station i put on kenny was milking the bejaysus out of the news of 335 jobs been created

Dont get me wrong its nice that possibly 335 ppl could get off the dole but surely celebrating this in the way they do is just desperation or political advertising

A while back the minister was at my place of work milking 200 jobs...6 weeks later they were let around 50 ppl go

Do you agree that he well and truely has the milking machine on any good news he can hop on

The cunt would run a mile from a televised debate though......

If the dog had pups he'd claim he had a hand in it.

Get over yourselves.

It's good news.

That's a question for a referendum.

I'd say Angela milks the shyte outta him at four in the morning in Brussels.

Dressed up as her bitch.

I think politicians claiming credit for every tiny bit of good news is what annoys people.

This + house prices rising = certain economic success.

Im curious did you just chose to ignore where i said it was good news or did you feel it would get in the way of your highhorse post

30-10-2013 07:08PM

It is good news to get 350 people will be taken off the dole. It doesn't bother me whether or not Kenny goes on about it, mainly because I'm not as easily annoyed or irked as other people.

There's no chance of getting him/her down off that horse either, best off to give it an all merciful slap up the arse and have it giddy on up outta here never to be seen again.

His smug face appearing on the news has cost me alot of televisions recently.

dj jarvis · 30-10-2013 07:44PM

yea all have little to be giving out about, if fat head announcing a few jobs on tv annoys ya

FFS - what do ye want , the minister for desperation giving a hourly update on the ****ty state of the nation ???

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WslFcRFLTIY

just ignore him and his ilk - or even better change channel.

TeddyTedson · 30-10-2013 08:14PM

It's a catch 22 really. It's marketing really isn't it. The enemy would be all over the same thing so you have to get people to hear about your own positives.

Can one imagine if one of the big parties just decided to stop campaigning and not put up any election posters. They'd lose votes.

Perhaps you should stop changing the channel when the news is on?

The job announcements are brilliant news and being a mature student in his my final year of college it heartens me to hear that jobs are picking up and that the unemployed rates are falling slowly but surely.

What we hate is that buffoon practically taking the credit for their creation. He is a pure spin doctor. As wooden as pinochio and a bigger bluffer. Couldnt debate his way out of a paper bag.

Badly Drunk Boy · 30-10-2013 08:39PM

But Pinnochio is a real boy...

In other news, Enda is delighted to announce that HE has created more jobs in both DID, Electrocity, Power City and all other TV and electrical retail outlets due to the sudden demand for tvs.....and repairs

you must be annoyed a lot so

Dman001 · 30-10-2013 10:32PM

While it's always great to see more jobs being created, they all seem to more-less seek the same requirements, i.e. highly qualified people in the Technology industry. Have to wonder who is filling these positions, and, more importantly, are the measures being put in place to fill the skill shortage.

average hero · 30-10-2013 10:51PM

It is fantastic to hear that jobs are being created and I am delighted.

What Enda may not be telling us is how many jobs are for fluent German/French/Spanish speakers who are required in their jobs at the likes of eBay, Google etc. A lot of these jobs go to expats who immigrate here (whom I welcome)

He is also not tackling the huge amount of unemployed who have construction related skills such as trades or architects/QS's etc. The jobs are being created in two areas (fairly low skilled admin or telesales etc. or highly skilled tech/pharmaceutical companies). The people stuck in between have little choice.

Femme_Fatale · 30-10-2013 11:01PM

Yeh Apple is always hiring, but pretty much solely bilingual people, which is fair enough, but as said, a few hundred new jobs doesn't necessarily mean that much for unemployed Irish people.

I don't get the absolute vitriol re Enda though. I mean, he's cringey, lacking in charisma, and can be a complete dope, but otherwise he's fairly benign. He's not a horrible, hateful **** - and is a saint in comparison with Ahern and Haughey.
The venom towards him just seems like "He's a politician - let's attack him" bandwagon-jumping.
