how long has it been since they last found an accountant bent enough to audit the accounts? If anything this helps her CV, the EU is rivalled only by FIFA for dishonesty, nepotism and general corruption.

Notice how it became the main news on the beeb again? Thieves the lot of them.

[agchristie]

So nervous she probably was the last to arrive at court - Christine Laggard!

[jourdain2]

How much do you think we'll hear of this on British media? My guess is almost zilch.

[ChillDoubt]

Small wonder she advocates us staying in, she needs an easy touch like the UK to continue to line her pockets. Greed and arrogance, plain and simple.

[TheChair]

Some extraordinary ignorance displayed in these answers.
Lagarde may have advocated that the UK should remain in the EU, but she is not connected with the EU: She's Head of the Washington-based IMF.

This is what's so scary about Brexiters - they don't even have a basic grasp of the facts.

Doesn't this go back to when she was finance minister for Sarkozy's government?

Ms Lagarde, 58, was finance minister in President Nicolas Sarkozy's government at the time of the award.



The article is from 2013

Ohh we do though. We have learned from the luvvies and lefties, and the abc how to misrepresent. Nice is it not?

[ChillDoubt]

She's Head of the Washington-based IMF.

Thanks for the condescending post. If memory serves, didn't someone else based in Washington recently 'advocate'(I use the term loosely as it felt more like a thinky veiled threat) us staying in th EU? You couldn't make it up......

[ChillDoubt]

Thinly, even....

20 years and ongoing, Talbot.
If anyone is ignorant, Chair, it's you. Last week this foul creature was the 'pin-up' girl for the Remainiacs and we should all listen to her sound, independent advice. Turns out she's just another crook.

[jourdain2]

BBC news is on as I type- not a mention.

[-Talbot-]

I can't find anything up to date.

[Svejk]

It won't be on the news because it seems to have been 'kicked in the long grass', again. Just represents the sort of people the Remain side put their trust in.
