Before reading this, prepare yourself for the sound of trumpets being blown..

And from Herman van Rompuy (yes him!) - and without any trace of irony:
"It was recognition for the work of "the biggest peacemaker in history".

This surprises people in what way? Let's face it, they gave Barry O'Bama a Nobel Peace Prize for being of colour / not GWB - couldn't quite decide which it was.


Some Eurocrat will be subject to the same highly evidence-based judging method......

A thoroughly well deserved award, sidevalve. Before the EU, Europe was essentially a continuous battlefield for thousands of years, interspersed with the occasional cease-fire. Since the EU, no member nation has gone to war with another member nation. Fact.

Hmm considering the death brought by NOBEL at al to Europe on the alter of profit it is indeed fitting that the EU receive this award in recognition of all those victims.
But they won't acknowledge that will they.
