Enda craves sweet Chinese takeaway

The state banquet in his honour was more than lavish, but still Enda craved the Chinese takeaway of his dreams.

He wanted Beijing to take away Ireland’s state assets and also its bailout shame by buying our bonds and allowing us to be a nation once again at the mercy of the casino money markets.

Mr Kenny denied he soft peddled on human rights every time the whiff of Chinese money was in the air, but the clear impression was: Why make a fuss with those nice old men in the politburo about Tibet when they are so eager to bet on our bonds?
