Or alternatively "WTO, WTF?" to continue the TLA* theme. Could it be true, as chief political correspondent in The Guardian Nicholas Watt tells us, that David Cameron will back Mandelson to be the next director general of the World Trade Organisation? I ahve no doubt he would have a lot to offer but, as Jerry Hayes at Total Politics writes, "he is a grade A, copper bottomed, shit. A man fuelled by poison, malice and revenge. A man who turned New Labour into a graveyard of those who stood in his way." Well, at least he wouldn't get into the same trouble as DSK of the IMF.
* TLA = three letter acronyms (haha)

Very Interesting indeed. Strange days given that Cameron is also backing Christine Lagarde for the IMF job. Are the Conservatives going all soft but suddenly liking the French and Mandelson?
should have read 'by suddenly'.
Both 'but' and 'by' work! Very weird. I'm all for the government getting beyond party politics and getting the best (Blair tried) but this may be a little OTT, IMO. I love TLA
