Trump has started messing with the WTO in an effort to stack it even more in the USA's favour.

The WTO was a mistake anyways. It needs to go.

Rather important for the UK though, if we do the idiot thing of leaving the EU without a deal.

Trade wars followed by real wars. I prefer to call it take these Americans goods or take these american nukes policy.

This would make me smile. Let's do it.

We don't know what he was doing in there, maybe he filled his pockets with fish fingers.

Unless you have other trade agreements lined up true.
Because then you have no alternative.

But bi-lateral trade agreements tailored to the specifics between the two countries in question are much superior to the WTO’s idiotic and idealogical one size fits all approach.

For example under WTO rules, absent a separate bilateral trade agreement you must treat trade with Australia and the PRC the same way. Despite both countries having a completely different political system, completely different national security concerns, completely different internal economic laws, and a completely different trade profile.

Besides the WTO is too big and unwieldy. Getting enough countries to agree to update it to meet changing economic conditions is extremely difficult.

It moves at the pace of a snail frozen in a glacier. It never has and never will be able to keep up in the digital economy and a changing world.

Bi lateral agreements on the other hand allow you to apply different rules to different countries to account for the fact that different countries are well different.

Plus you can much more easily update and change them because it only requires agreement between two parties, not a hundred.

Wasn't it the fridge at a dairy? Perhaps he had a desire for cheese.

Perhaps he feared a nuclear attack?

Any archaeologist can tell you that hiding in a fridge is the best way to survive a nuclear test, so I assume it also works for a nuclear attack.

Wasn't there a PSA or two in the 1980s that warned kids not to play hide and seek in old fridges, lest they become trapped and suffocate? You politicians and archaeologists are a bad influence on the children.

Unless...

Unless that was their plan all along?

I have never liked Kuenssberg, I like her even less now; as she should surely know better but just doesn't give a shit.

But then the worst part comes, trying to find volunteers to wash and scrub Boris Johnson down.

The Soviets had a decontamination system called TMS-65, which was a modified turbojet that fires water and decontamination fluid at high pressure to decontaminate tanks and other vehicles, so no need for physical contact. Just use that. I'm sure the Russians would generously offer to use one on the PM.

No need, Boris has his own water cannons.
