Trump and Kim win Nobel peace prize ...

Post by _Chap »

Thought that would get some views. Actually, that was once of the possibilities on which some bookmakers were betting yesterday. Here's one set of odds:

Ladbrokes Latest Betting:

Kim Jong-un + Moon Jae-in – 4/6
Donald Trump (Alone or With Any Others) – 5/2
Carles Puigdemont – 12/1
UNHCR – 12/1
Angela Merkel – 16/1
Novaya Gazeta – 16/1
Pope Francis – 16/1
Raif Badawi – 16/1


But fortunately ... no. In fact:

Nobel peace prize 2018 won by Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad.
Mukwege and Murad recognised for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon in war.


The committee says the Congolese doctor, Denis Mukwege has been “the foremost, most unifying symbol both nationally and internationally of the struggle to end sexual violence in war and armed conflict”.

Nadia Murad, a member of the Yazidi minority in Iraq, was captured by Isis and repeatedly raped and subjected to other abuses. The committee says she showed “uncommon courage in recounted her own suffering”.



So the committee actually believed this woman when she said she was raped. Well, that's liberals for you ...

Big prize for the first idiot (and there will be one) who says that she made it all up for the money!

Here is her appearance at the UN in 2016:

If not, there's always the Best Coiffed Prize.
