About Me
- Neil Clark
- I am a journalist, writer & broadcaster, based in the U.K. I am the author of 'Stranger than Fiction', a biography of Edgar Wallace, available here http://goo.gl/o2cZze , 'Champion Jump Horse Racing Jockeys 1945 to Present Day' and 'Flying Ace'. I have been a regular contributor to newspapers and magazines in UK & overseas including The Daily and Sunday Express, The Guardian, The Week, Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, The Spectator. My work has appeared in publications as diverse as The American Conservative, Woman's Weekly, and the Racing Post. I am strongly opposed to the neo-con war agenda -and believe in the urgent necessity of a left-right anti-war coalition. On domestic issues I support re-nationalisation of the railways and public utilities (I co-founded of The Campaign for Public Ownership), free care for the elderly, a free NHS including the restoration of NHS dentistry, and protection of the Green Belt and the countryside. I am anti-lockdown. FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER @NEILCLARK66 and @MightyMagyar

The choice of Obama does strike me as excessively sycophantic.
Still, I had visions of it being Saakashvili or Blair (considering last year's disgusting choice).
Why not someone like Aung San Suu Kyi, or I'd in fact find Rowan Willams a pretty funny yet useful choice.
Why not someone like Aung San Suu Kyi *again*...
Apologies
yes,. indeed! And Chavez has had more experience and success than Obama Hes a real statesman! his Bolivarian revolution, a real vision...BUT the Nobels are oriented to the First world countries...
Far better is the Alternative Nobel prize...
I Liked this post. It was well-written. Thanks for sharing this wonderful information....
Chavez is a good choice.
"pyramisa sharm resort" is trying to pretend to be a spam-bot. However, your friendly old Exile is willing to bet that it is a real person, probably one closely connected to a certain mongish crew.
Lemme have the ISP, please.
Will do.
here´s Atzmons take on the "peace price":...
http://www.gilad.co.uk/writings/the-nobel-prize-the-brand-and-the-president.html
Both David Frum and Victor Davis Hanson said that the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Barack Obama was a preemptive strike, not in recognition of any accomplishment, but a request that he not do things in the future.
Can a Nobel Peace Prize winner keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons? Can a Nobel Peace Prize winner wage war in Afghanistan effectively? Can a Nobel Peace Prize winner tell the Jordanians on the West Bank they have to accept Israel's existence?
The Nobel Committee has picked so many scoundrels for the Peace Prize that it's hard for me to work up much outrage about the selection of President Obama. It's also hard for me to come up with a choice I'd really like.
Given that Chavez has meddled in the affairs of both Colombia and Honduras, I don't get that he deserves a Peace Prize.
I can't name a specific person but Norman Borlaug, who "saved a billion lives" by developing better crops is the last winner who was fully worthy.
Better to give it to Monsanto than any politician.
