Which one do you think the more likely?

Take away the subsidies and trade protections so many enjoy, mostly farmers, and what do you have?

Gordon Brown actually thinks the solution to illiteracy in Africa is to pump into it billions of dollars. The arm salesmen were on the first plane they could find, usually their own, to visit all their new and old customers.
