Gordon Brown on Dimbleby

Quote:

"I think there is a basic unfairness that has been built INTO phpbb_the world trade system over time because of the protectionism of the richest countries and I think Europe has had to admit that the export subsidies that it practices are protectionist, that they harm the poorest countries, that they’ve got to be got rid of, and Europe has now given itself a commitment that it will abandon export subsidies."

Is he and McShane on a mission to convince us they are fighting back against the EU or what? Suspicious, very suspicious!
