Peter, Christine Lagarde still harbours hope of a return to politics in France. The Parisian 'great & good', Enarques all, have had the toe-the-line message from Paris to make sure they throw a spanner in the works to make Brexit as hard as possible. They must comply or give up all hope of a return to their political ambitions. They are, in any case, all committed to the Gran Projet. So I am expecting every Airbus exec, IMF exec and any French company that invests in GB to be polishing up their spanners. So tiresome and so predictable. As George Dubya Bush said "The French - always there when they need you".
