Quote from: BBC Web Shite

The economic crisis should be treated as "the difficult birth-pangs of a new global order", Prime Minister Gordon Brown has said.

In a speech he promised to fight to prevent the UK and other countries retreating into protectionism.

Mr Brown called for "new rules" for international trade, warning against "pessimism" and "muddling through".
