» Give Russian President Vladimir Putin Nobel Peace Prize, says former Labour peer
15/10/13 15:11 from - Europe RSS Feed
A former Labour peer disclosed today that he had nominated Russian President Putin for the Nobel peace prize.
Lord Truscott and another Labour peer were suspended for six months in 2009 after being found by a Lords committee to be willing to change laws in exchange for cash.

MNC (Mike Nova comments): Ah, that's THAT "Lord Truscott"! And how much did he get paid now? Can he disclose this?
And keep in mind that the so called "Independent" is owned by the Russian KGB billionaire A. Lebedev, who recently was threatened with jail term and is now indebted to his KGB "tsar".
