When will the Nobel Peace Prize be awarded to Rod 'Seacole' Liddle?

Another failed Nobel nominee

Never mind, Rod. The decision about this year's Nobel Peace Prize tells us far more about how far up their own a**es the pinkos on the Nobel Committee are than it does about anything President Obama may or may not have done to deserve it.

Maybe your expunging of your inner racist (as per your previous blog) was not intense enough?

Try becoming Rod Seacole Seacole Seacole Seacole Liddle. Maybe that will sway the Nobel committee? Of course it could be that you lack a bandwagon for them to jump on.

Personally, I think Obama was an idiot to accept it. Not only does it make Obama look like a fool but it raises barriers amongst those who were prepared to meet him halfway.

Obama's transmogrification into Tony Blair has finally begun.

Doris Seacole Bonkers

It is unprecedented for someone to get the peace prize before they start a war.

The Norwegian peace prize committee must have had a long think about a potential Obama conflict and then concluded that when they eventually emerged from their NBC shelters nobody would show up to collect the prize.

James

Its a shame that nobody is concerned about the fact the the deserving winner is Morgan Tsangirai and the probability of him not receiving it is because of petty African politics.. The other dictators who call themselves SADC would have puked up a whole lot of nonsense about including Mugabe in the winners circle. Can you imagine the outcry then.. Obama was simply the 'safe'choice from the socks & sandals brigade. Its a real shame because had Morgan won this award it would have elevated his stature hugely within the African continent and he could have posed a real challenge Mugabe..its an opportunity missed and that is the real tragedy here.

Carl Gordon-Brown

What Obama should have done is said something like: "I'm very honoured to be offered this, but do not feel that I have done enough to accept it." This would have bought him massive kudos. He would have missed the u out of honoured of course.

The whole idea of the Nobel prize has always been slightly cockamamie. After all its founder was an arms dealer. Really its only a form of arms industry sponsorship. The criteria for winning is really to encourage arms dealings. There are of course some notable candidates,Idi Amin, Robert Mugabe, anyone on the ANC defence equipment procurement board. 'Wor Tony',aka peace in our time Blair really fails the test because, despite starting more punch ups than Gladstone, he didn't generate any new arms business. Gordon fails for the same reason. So Rod, if you can overcome your innate pacifist leanings and lead Millwall into a long, expensively equipped (Challenger tanks, SA 80 rifles and Typhoon aircraft) and bloody feud with West Ham there is every chance that you will succeed in your nomination next year. The recent Seacole re-launch will I think tip the balance, providing as it does that insight into what its like to be black-minded person living in the middle of a profoundly discriminatory war scenario.

This is just another of your cynical, posturing articles. Personally, I am delighted that he has been awarded this honour, and that he is now also an Olympic champion on the same basis. Just check here: thegeorgecareyfanclub.blogspot.com

Carl Grodon-Brown said: "This would have bought [Obama] massive kudos. He would have missed the u out of honoured of course."

And there is the small issue of never being nominated again if you turn it down or refuse to accept a nomination. As far as I know you can never be nominated if you criticise the Nobel Committee either, so I guess we are all out of the running for future prizes.

Poor old Seacole, no wonder he's gone grey in his piccie.

Jim H

Try another name change, Mohammed Seacole Riddle should do the trick.

Obama Seacole

To get your (ig)Nobel prize you'll have to go the whole hog: change your name to just Seacole (formerly the notorious R.O.D.) and become an urban rapper; do a rap entitled "live in peace or I'll shoot ya mother", organise a peace concert, the proceeds of which will go to Hamas and African dictators, and the prize will be yours.

Osama Sealion Cave

Jaglund - on the Nobel Peace Prize committee - has an interesting resume ... famous remarks Bongo in the Congo and famous tit grab known as the Jaglund Grip. A socialist, who'd thunk it?

Lupus

just remembered!- Nik Turner's fabulous Allstars, Brasenose Ball 1989.

Lupus Montana Lungfish

hmm, don't really give a shite about the the Nobel peace prize-although it is dynamite, grunt yawn scratch that Barracks won it etc.

Susan Hill

Look, they're Swedes. Forget it.

Hysteria

@ Hawkeye "Obama's transmogrification into Tony Blair has finally begun"

er no - I think many of us spotted this a long time ago - pre election.

Susan - I think the peace committe are Norwegians - but whatever.......

Lupus Montana Lungfish

Osama- Off on a tangent here but I'm a Tintin fan and any mention of the Congo etc. When the thought police finally allowed me to buy 'Tintin in the Congo' newly published in English I was very disappointed-there were absolutely no added scenes of child rape, extreme sado violent snuff movie cartoons etc. I really felt quite let down by the system, after all, I'd waited twenty five years to finish my collection and all I got was a big red label.

David Lindsay

Ron Paul.

Get those nominations in.

That means you, John Bolton.

Or have I missed something?

Montana

Auguste- they seem to have airbrushed the Superking out- quite like The Thinker pose though- very good

Dixon

Silly man, dont you realise that you have to have a sex-change and simultaneously become a lesbian.

workie 'stag night' ticket

When I heard the news I was suprised as I didnt think Obama had heard of Blackpool. After all, eating a whole tray of chips and (mushy) peas while drunk, before the little Hitler in the arcade change kiosk throws you out, so winning a prestigious Nobles Peas Prize, is some feat.

Imagine my shock to find out he'd won an even more unlikely prize. Its positive discrimination gone mad I tell you

Shane Pogue

I really do live in a dirty old town- I think its time we all picked ourselves up.

toby seacole forward

Hysteria, forgive me if I've got this wrong, but aren't Norwegians and Swedes the same thing? Like Scotch people and North British?

George W. Bush

It's amazin' what you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit.

Austin Barry

I suspect that next year Obama will win the Nobel Prize for Chemistry having proven alchemy by turning the base metal of Chicago political organiser into Messianic leader of the Western World, perhaps of civilisation itself. Hallelujha.

Archie Wedderspoon

Rod, I fear you simply haven't tried hard enough.

Fergus Pickering

Toby, my man. And the Irish West British and the Americans Wester British. Our Kingdom goes from shore to shore till moons shall wax and wane no more. Did I not use to sing that little number at school? Or was that the Kingdom of God? Same thing really. Re Swedes etc, in that other, greater reality described by Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes solved a case for the King of Scandinavia.

C Cole

It can't be enough to be black, not George W and wish for world peace or Miss Uganda would win it every year.

I think the trick to winning the take the peace prize is to fly round the world in a private jet, telling the little people not to fly while preaching climate armageddon from the comfort of one of your warm, well-lit mansions... but you wouldn't want to stoop that low would you?

Noble Rot

Facial hair! Grey whiskers were de rigueur in the early days of the prize.

Rod - you've been playing the race card all your life, scoring a lot of cheap popularity points like the rest of the eminent Fabians - it trumps almost everything as you well know and have profited from, since the 60s. Are you telling us now it was all a joke? That after naming every bar and street and park Nelson Mandela you were just being ironic???
It's funny, but this blog and the bloggers are conspicuous by their attempt in trying to be funny - and failing.
But this is where the cyclopean ideas of the left pay back their user with their own currency. (Its humourless like Wedgie Benn and Polly T and Tony Blair)
You've ridden the trendy tide of popularity for decades Rod, non-satirically hunting for the Waffen SS in Old England - an easy target for a PC non-discriminatory hypocrite.
When will your satirical 'take' on Islam be coming? Please please please give us one on that topic, Lord knows it would be the first time.
You are a coward and without honour. Leave 'Seacole' alone - the soldiers she tended loved her for her colour of her heart - not the colour of her skin.

rod seacole liddle

One legged lesbian - yes, you're absolutely right. I haven't ever had the nerve to criticise Islam. The two fatwahs, death threats and referals to the CRE were on account of my stupid hairstyle.

Greybeard

Rod, Flak to the left, flak to the right. If you're not careful your 'mate' Billy Bragg will write a (another?) song about you. Gawd 'elpus all!

One legged, I've got nothing against your right leg but the trouble is, neither have you. arf arf.

If you want a radical, humorous, or satirical view on Islam, and religion in general, then take a look at Pat Condell on Youtube. He's got 58 videos up there.

Blistering bazibazooks, Lupus, to find a Tintin fan on this haddock of a blog, is music to typhoon ears!

I never got round to reading Tintin in the Congo - probably because it belonged to Herge's early period when his artwork was still a bit ropey.

Here's to the Thompson Twins - indefatigable indigents of an indecorous ineligibility!

toby seacole forward

Fergus, good man yourself. A pleasure to discover the King of Scandinavia thing. Many thanks. I owe you a glass.

Born to Seacole Hula

More from the wisdom of Norwegian Pizza Prize committee member Jugland:

"It does not help with bulletproof vests, when the shots come from within."

N

Well Rod, i think i found your mistake. Jimmy Carter won the award for his workings of "peace in the middle east", Al Gore won for his work with "global warming" and Obama won for some reason God only knows. All three of won do nothing while claiming it was something! That's what you should do. Do something something that in every way shape in form does nothing!

Lupus

Rod- can the people who threatened you not be named or at least prosecuted under 'the full force of British law' (oooh get you!)- or did they come from abroad? if so when? and are you slightly concerned about it as I would be.

Lungfish

Fergus-I do worry that you are an even bigger drunk than I am!

Lupus

Of course I would be mainly concerned about that well known hard-core para-military wing of the CRE.

Montana

Professor Seacole Calculus- We've been rumbled, only posh kids read Tintin apparently!- although it would be quite good if all kids could read and understand Tintin by the age of nine. After the last twenty years of APPALLING failures in our educational establishment there are plenty of nineteen year olds who can't read a fecking Beano let alone a novel.

Beano Seacole Biffo

Come, come, Montana, no bashing of the Beano please.

If kids could appreciate the genius of Leo Baxendale (or if he was actually taught at skool) then we would all be in a happier place.

kevin brown

Dear Rod, I've just read your comment on the Amaankwah spat, that an accusation of racism is enough to condemn some-one legally. I don't think ths is the case: it seems this is the recommendation of a report published many years ago. I think Hitchens, in A Brief History Of Crime, spells it out far more clearly than I can. The idea of an accusation being tantamount to a conviction seems to be a case of mission creep.
All the est, Kevin Brown.

Lady Seacole Mudflaps

Er...what hairstyle?

Frank P

Christ, Rod! You look more like Paul Foot very day. Your idol, I assume? Mind you, I have to admit that there is a difference: your eyes indicate the perpetual pain and pathos of a bullied kid, whereas his were the beady gimlets of a predatory self-righteous ideologue.
