Farage explains how Ireland has been crushed by the EU

The selected statistics, the absolute certainty of what's to happen in the future is surely a hint of how unhelpful and unwise Nigel Farage is.

The Englishman writes an opinion piece in today's Irish Times.

He writes: Ireland has a strongly Euro-sceptic (sic) people governed by a slavishly Europhile political class.

Is it anything other than jargon?

Elsewhere he writes: The transformative power of democracy in Ireland has been crushed by the iron fist of the EU.

Really.
