Kenny risking defeat as referendum campaign falters

THOUGH he is not really a Muppet in the pejorative sense of the word, Enda Kenny would make a good Sesame Street character.

His mild manner and eagerness to please at all costs would see him fit in well with the likes of Big Bird and the Cookie Monster.

True, his opposition to gay marriage equality would make him seem laughably out of step with the Bert and Ernie sleeping together situation, but with the EU referendum Yes campaign in danger of careering-off the rails, Enda could do worse that take tips on setting the political agenda from Elmo.
