spook Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I think that's sadly too often true when it is given to politicians but in this instance it has been awarded to a very brave young woman who is prepared to stand up for what she believes in. She had nothing other than her own cause to realise and everything to lose. Yes it is effectively a meaningless award but aren't they all, however I truly believe she deserves recognition. When Internet warriors like Spook are as brave as someone who is abused and shot yet still stands up for what they truly believe in then I'll listen to them. Recognition, absolutly yes, but the NPP is inappropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojomonkey Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I don't see why it is inappropriate. She is bravely promoting education and social freedom for oppressed woman. She has been shot in the process and is still under threat. She isn't a world leader with endless security and alterior motives (like Putin, Obama, Blair, etc.), she is an individual standing up for well meaning beliefs. If the freedom of individuals and promotion of free education isn't a thing to support and reward I welcome your explanation as to why it isn't appropriate?

In fact since its devaluation to beneath worthless by being given to obama and even worse arafat she deserves something much more appropriate for the stand that she took. Just a shame it was a total waste of effort where she took it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbie Bobster Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Based on readers comments in a wide range of newspapers I am very far from being alone in my views. Mail, Express, Star, Sport, Watchtower? Or perhaps I've got this wrong and it'll be the FT, Guardian and the Economist. I don't think spook takes The Economist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
