Making the right decision shouldn’t always have to be a brave decision. But, when you come under constant pressure from history’s most despicable lying narcissist, a certain amount of bravery is unfortunately required.

Bravo, Nobel Peace Prize panel for recognising the importance of Maria Corina Machado in her continuing fight to uphold the principles of democracy. Even while having to remain in hiding, she provides opposition to the bulldozing of basic humanity by another despicable autocratic… the one in Venezuela.

As a panel, you have shown the world we don’t have to give in to the demands of bullies (former DPP’s excepted).

Until we speak again, you’ve also spared us from what would have followed if the world’s oldest grumpy teenager had been given the reward for a mega sense of entitlement.
