Mad starey eyes. Teutonic tailoring. Nazi hair.

It must be the press conference for the ludicrous ‘Europe For Freedom And Democracy’ group [in The Shelbourne Hotel this afternoon]. Present were, top from left: Nigel Farage, MEP and leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), Danish MEP and Irish Times contributor Morten Messchersmidt, Paul Nuttall (MEP, UKIP) and Finnish MEP Sampo Terho; second pic: Farage and Messchersmidt; Farage again; EFD press officer Hermann Kelly, and assistant to MEP Roger Helmer, Francesca Salierno.

Racial tolerance, sensitivity, rationality, etc. (out of picture).

Paddy: “Sorry sor?”

Olli: “The debt thing. Doing a jolly good job repaying those banker debt things.”

Paddy: “Tankyousor”

Olli: “And at a punitive interest rate too!”

Paddy: “Tankyousor”

Olli: “Didn’t throw anyone in chokey though Paddy, did you?”

Paddy: “Ahnosor”

Olli: “Blighters all got away scot-free and handsomely rewarded too!  That must really irk you Paddy.”

Paddy: “I..sposeso…sor”

Olli: “Anyway, back to work.  Next bond repayment is in November and it’s a billion bloody dollars!”

Paddy: “Tankyousor” [reverses out, tugging forelock]
