I hope you don't mind me spoofing you. Or, as I learned as a child in Texas, I hope you don't mind me tooling you around.

If you are going to be carrying water for the democrats, you better be reading off the same page as Hillary.

And you "free traders" are carrying the water for the leftists that run the WTO:

From the former Director General Mike Moore of the WTO:

We on the Left have a lot to be proud of. We built the Welfare State that looks after people when they are sick, poor, or old. We fought for the equality of women and of minorities. We argued passionately for internationalism, for solidarity between workers in Sweden and those in Africa.

I see no contradiction between being on the Left and supporting free trade and the WTO. I am, and always will be, a Labour man. But how does making food and clothing from abroad more expensive help working people? How does raising the price of cars so that only the rich can afford them help working people? And how does protecting the jobs of yesterday at the expense of the jobs of tomorrow help working people? It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't.
