He is cross with the Group of 20, the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organisation, the European Union and the Obama administration. He doesn’t think much, either, of the US constitution, the euro, the Doha round of trade talks, or the attempts by emerging market “Brics” to construct a new international grouping. And as for Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy – well, don’t ask.
