Ms Boylan said the people she spoke to are "sick and tired" of austerity being imposed by the Troika and by Europe, but claimed she is not going to the European Parliament as a ‘Eurosceptic’.

"Euroskeptic" = far right nationalist à la Marine Le Pen's National Front party in France, which captured 25% of the French EU delegation, a very big deal that's discussed I think in a couple of other LBN threads.
