For some they are the pinnacle of recognition, for others they reek of western bias and sexism. So who will win this year’s awards?

How did it all start? To his family’s horror, Alfred Nobel’s last will and testament in 1895 left most of his estate, the equivalent of £148m in today’s money, to a prize fund.

Only for leftists propaganda purposes - nothing else

Motivation

Some people don’t care

It’s just to remind us of the power of dynamite; and a peaceful, novel, noble effort to fire-up the Nobel legacy!

Best paperweight ever.

When a Nobel Peace Prize is given to anyone with ease, it loses value such as to Barack Obama

Playing down the Nobel prize for Israel’s new prize supposedly to be better than the Nobel

For woke right on people to give to other woke people. Quite sad how they've become devalued

Give one to Greta just to push Donald Trump over the edge.

NobelForLula

Not giving one to trump, comes to mind.

Pissing off Trump.

Apparently to piss off Trump.

‘It was seen as weird’: why are so few men taking shared parental leave?Only 2% of new parents split their entitlement. Fathers tell us what’s stopping them I can empathise. I used to work shifts and do about half of the weekday childcare. The filthy and baffled looks I’d get in Costa on Tuesday afternoons for being out with my daughter when I “should” have been at work were countless. Haha doesn't take a genius to work out why The amount of times women would say to me “daddy had to look after the children today then” was crazy!

Opinion: Can someone tell the Tories we’ve already got a points-based immigration system?The measure they want so badly has been in place for over a decade thanks to Gordon Brown. I should know – I was admitted through it If we have a immigration system can we use it please. Mass uncontrollable immigration is a drain on our social support systems. So I guess being a kebab-shop worker, Turkish barber, chicken shop worker, delivery driver etc must get a lot of points in the current system then? Otherwise please explain .. The people of Iraq continue to suffer and be massacred by their government. People need to live with dignity with basic services provided. Instead a select rich live as the elite while the rest barely survive. Solidarity with save_the_lraqi_people Baghdad
