Thread title needs editing.

He's an unpaid committee head for the World Economic Forum, which is not quite the same thing as the IMF. Still wouldn't trust him with the Bowls Club tea kitty, mind.

With both and both looking the same, I wasn't sure which one you meant. Either way, Winky needs to be censored.

Another ex-public servant failure lands a highly paid role for doing fk-all.

I mean, how difficult can it be when ones' preferred solution is to keep the money in a sock under the bed.
