From today's FT, with no apparent deliberate irony:
Micheál Martin, Irish foreign minister, said "the very political [i.e. EU-sceptic] comments" Mr Klaus made at a dinner given by Declan Ganley, a leading campaigner against the [Lisbon] treaty, were "an inappropriate intervention" at a time when the "Irish government is engaged in discussions with our partners in the European Union".
* That should read "Certain members of Irish government ...", of course.
What have we wrought in the UK?

Indeed, when I read the FT this morning I did wonder how many would be struck by the absurdity of that almost comic headline...and it feeds in to the inconsistencies of the eurofanatics' mock outrage over Klaus' comments. Are these people saying it would have been outrageous for, say, Sarkozy to have congratulated the Irish people had they voted Yes? The pressure being applied to 'the Irish' by Sarkozy et al (who invited himself to Ireland) is far more unpleasant and nasty than the arrival of an invited Head of State who is congratulating the Irish people on making a democratic choice, and following a course which everyone knows he stands for.
The FT is - and has been as long as I can remember - the Guardian printed (appropriately) on pink paper. It's basic knee-jerk editorial line is pro-EU, anti-American and climate catastrophist. That's not to say that some of its columnists are not excellent but the WSJ of the City it ain't.
