Gordon Brown honoured in New York as world statesman of the year

Now I am sure that something will be made of the fact that the Israeli defence minister was there, but the award still holds some kudos on the world stage.

The award was presented on behalf of the Appeal of Conscience Foundation, an interfaith organisation which campaigns for religious freedom and human rights, by the veteran US former secretary of state Henry Kissinger.

Pretty laughable to be honest. An organisation that campaigns for human rights giving an award to the leader of a political party with such a strong record for eroding them.
