I think it’s basically time to retire the peace prize because it really is meaningless at this point. Another 100+ year-old tradition cheapened, wrecked, and discredited by the gauche garish gangster.

Surely that’s a security risk as well opens this country to deliberate misinformation?

Reform UK won’t say ‘private’ when talking about the NHS. Richard Tice is calling it ‘independent’:
"Instead of giving £26bn to the already bloated wasteful NHS, we proposed easing pressure on the health service by incentivising those who can afford to pay more to go independent with a tax break."
