Da hipocrisia da "esquerda" britânica *

The chancellor is putting forward the cash in order to allow the organisation to lend to some of the world's most troubled and struggling economies.

However, he is set for a backlash from Labour MPs and some of his Conservative colleagues, with the opposition party describing it as 'a sticking plaster response'.

Tory MP Douglas Carswell has so far been one of the most vocal objectors, calling the loan 'IMF bailout bull' and 'madness'.

Some politicians have misgivings about any decision to help the IMF, particularly as it could be used to prop up the euro, which the UK is not part of.

* que critica o governo conservador por emprestar dinheiro ao FMI, especialmente se este fôr usado para salvar o Euro! Olham para o "jardim" deles e emitem juízos populistas, tal como a "extrema direita", como se a Inglaterra ficasse a salvo de uma eventual implosão do Euro. Tratantes!

Quanto aos "amigos" do outro lado do Atlântico estamos conversados: "The US and Canada have refused to join the UK in putting any more funds into the IMF pot."
