    Nigel Farage: Bully Boys in Brussels Building Europrison

Austerity inspectors visited the country to check whether it's meeting the conditions set up by international creditors.

And another debt-ridden Eurozone economy - Italy - is undergoing a further round of belt-tightening, as its lower house of Parliament is about to vote for more austerity measures. Nigel Farage, MEP and leader of the UK independence party, says the hands of Eurozone strugglers are tied while they are trapped within the bloc.
