Just when you thought the Nobel Peace Prize Award could not become more ridiculous....
European Union wins Nobel Peace Prize despite year of anti-austerity protests - Telegraph
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...-despite-year-of-anti-austerity-protests.html
This years away: to the EU?!?!?!
"The decision was widely interpreted as a conscious bid to prop up the single currency - and the bloc itself - in their darkest hour, after the Nobel committee chairman Thorbjorn Jagland warned of a possible return to "extremism and nationalism".
"We should do everything we can to safeguard it [the EU], not let it disintegrate. If the euro starts falling apart, then I believe that the internal market will also start falling apart. And then obviously we get new nationalism in Europe," he said after announcing the prize in Oslo."
Oh no- no the dreaded NATIONALISM....
