   Anyone else see this item ?

   The World Trade Organisation (WTO) Director General has resigned, leaving his 4-year tenure vacant

   So, who do you think might replace him? The short-list is down to 5, including Liam Fox

   Remember him? That strongly pro-Brexit, anti-gay, anti-abortion, rather hawkish (sorry, Walter) self-interested bigot? Remember the Werrity scandal? Remember the expenses scandal re his 2nd home?

   So, with the UK falling off the cliff & having to rely on WTO rules, who better than to have Fox there to soften the landing ? (oh, and to have access to expenses again)

   It's beyond corrupt

   JEEZ, that has a depressing inevitability about it. I had not seen, Sinnick; thanks for alerting, will go & delve. It's the sheer front of these people- no shame.

   When it comes to the 'top jobs' it's as if there were only 10 people left in the country. The same names keep popping up again and again, regardless of how incompetent, devious, unlikeable, immoral, self-serving, venal and arrogant they were in previous roles. Surely we can use a 'lessons learned ' moment, and not keep bunging these square pegs in to round holes. They don't fit. They don't work. There must be someone who could do this job half-decently (which would be a 50% improvement.) How about Jeff from the Commercial Department where I used to work? He was a decent bloke (all right, he was a United supporter, but otherwise ... ), always kept the monthly numbers ticking over, and everybody from the MD to the canteen staff got on with him. I'd give him a spell at WTO.

   What a shame - we would have all benefitted from "the easiest trade deals in history"!

    they only promised me $27m - sorry, "Twenty Seven Million United States Dollers" - bastards.

    anyway glad Fox is out of the running, so to speak. Will see who the other cands are beyond nationality, but at least they're not from the usual rich country suspects
