Christine Lagarde, Beauty or Beast?
Christine Lagarde former Finance Minister in the Sarkosy Government and now boss of the IMF has caused international outrage after suggesting the beleaguered Greeks might do well to pay their taxes. Christine who earns more than President Obama in her IMF job has a tax free package. I can name a list of men who are 'Christine' supporters including it would seem Robert Peston BBC Business Editor. After a programme on the radio I know one lady TAG reader who sent a text saying ' You need a bucket of cold water throwing over you when talking about Christine ' Another TAG lady reader is writing to Christine insisting that if she had any decency she would pay tax, even though she is not obliged to do so. All the chaps though seem to be in her thrall. Read the article in the Guardian on line and decide for yourselves for her or against.
