Drinkers in JD Wetherspoon will be getting their beer with a pro-Brexit beer mat in the tun-up to the June 23 referendum.
The beer mat targets the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and asks why UK voters should trust the views of its managing director, Christine Lagarde, who has voiced her support for the 'remain' campaign.
It has a message on both sides, signed by Wetherspoon founder and chairman Tim Martin.
It reads:
Mr Martin said: "The governance issues within the IMF, are, in my opinion, very serious for UK citizens.
"The Government has paraded a number of financial institutions in front of the public, who have, in my view, grossly distorted our financial prospects in the event of a Brexit.
"Corporate governance at the IMF is clearly out of control and Christine Lagarde would have been obliged to resign at any normal plc or institution until the matters in question were resolved.
"The UK public have been asked to rely on her comments by both George Osborne and David Cameron in the forthcoming referendum and she must now answer the questions on the beer mats and others that the public may have."
