Dear Madame Lagarde,
At Wetherspoons, we sincerely respect and admire the French people and your country, but note that you are due to stand trial in France for your part in authorising a €400m payment by the French state to Bernard Tapie - a supporter of your political party.
This follows the resignation, in disgrace, of your predecessor at the IMF - Dominique Strauss-Kahn.
Why should we trust the IMF?
Please see the other side for more questions.
Sincerely, Tim Martin.

- Did anyone elect you?
- Why is Greece in such trouble after six years of IMF advice?
- Has the IMF warned the Eurozone that no currency, in history, has survived without a single government?
