This £10 billion bailout for the IMF brings the total Osborne has pledged to £40 billion, or some £666 for each and every man, woman and child in the Britain. In October last year after British taxpayers sent £9 billion to the IMF - £9 billion that Osborne had to borrow, Osborne told the House of Commons categorically
Britain will not be putting money into the bail-out fund either directly or through the IMF…. The IMF exists to support countries, it dooes not exist to support currencies… The IMF contributing money to the eurozone bail-out fund, no; Britain contributing money to the eurozone bail-out fund, no. That is Britain's clear position.'
It could not be any more clear cut, it was an unqualified promise. Now broken.
