Mark Carney Gets His Reward (NOT)

This, from the Daily Express today.

PARTIAL QUOTE

Project Fear cheerleader Mark Carney FAILS to make shortlist for IMF.

The Brexit Basher and Chief Project Fear Instigator, has failed to impress the International Monetary Fund (IMF) after it emerged the major US organisation decided against giving the Canadian the top job he was gunning for.

The shortlist of names to head the IMF has been reduced to handful of hopefuls, with Mr Carney not having made the cut.
The Guardian reports the Bank of England governor, largely accused of being responsible for the so-called Project Fear campaign, was cited as a contender to take over from managing director Christine Lagarde, who is due to step down in September. Ms. Lagarde will move to the European Central Bank (ECB).

The Governor of the Bank of England had been the bookies favourite to get the job, but failed to appear on the list, drawn up by France’s finance minister, Bruno Le Maire.

Mr Le Maire is organising the process of selecting the candidate.

The job will be awarded to the final candidate after the summer.

Well, well. Revenge is a dish served cold! Just reward well deserved for his interfering in British Politics, plus his lies.

It couldn't have not happened to a better person...

Speculating about what might happen when we leave the EU was not part of his job specification and it didn't do the country that gave him a first-class job any favours .

I wish I had kept up with my violin lessons I took as a boy, I could have played Hearts and Flowers for him.

They want someone who is equally good at embezzlement like the erstwhile Ms Legarde.

Carney should have known that any selection would have been rigged to make sure the Winner comes from the USA, or Brussels, maybe China.

Carney could have jumped a couple of years ago and sold himself as "From the US".

The problem with that is, I believe, Carney is Canadian. He could have passed himself off as Irish though - he has Canadian, British and Irish citizenship.
