Lucky general Enda saved by boldness of others again

SOME 40 MPs in Zimbabwe have undergone a mass circumcision — please insert your own joke here about Coalition TDs already being castrated.

But at least the Zimbabwean lawmakers really did do it for the public good, as such a procedure dramatically reduces the risk of HIV infections, while our own deputies’ motives are rather more self-serving.

Though hardly a eunuch in Europe, Enda Kenny has adopted a policy of prostration towards the EU giants since he crawled away from a bruising early encounter with Nicolas Sarkozy licking his wounds.
