Letter bombs sent to EU politicians are the "price of forcing a political ideal on people" according to an MEP from the UK Independence Party (UKIP).

If he did say this what did he mean?

Did you not read the next paragraph?

Nigel Farage said his party had predicted 10 years ago the path the EU was taking could end in civil unrest.

I suggest you read Machiavelli's "The Prince" about the governance of occupied territories - it's nothing new...

But others would put other interpretations on what he said.

I take it he did condemn the bombings?

If so, was this before or after this statement?

Did you even read the article?

He said failure to do so could mean more attacks as extremists resorted to violence, before adding that UKIP deplored the bombs.

The bombers or the voters?
