Not as smart as they pretended to be

The International Monetary Fund has been forced to admit that all the dire warnings about Brexit, which were issued as part of departed Chancellor G. Osborne’s contribution to Project Fear, have turned out to be completely off the mark. A spanner wasn’t thrown into the world’s economy, the wet hens have stopped flapping and the IMF’s management is now being dismissed as a bunch of clowns. Which leaves me wondering how the figure head, Ms Lagarde, is getting on with her court case. Is she still facing a spell in an orange jumpsuit?
