I'd normally try and post something humorous but with a bit of a socially conscious edge at this point.
But I'm struggling here.
Mugabe wins an award......for being a humanitarian......?
Fucking hell.
The world's gone mad.

World Health Organisation strips Mugabe of goodwill ambassador role
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has been removed as goodwill ambassador by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
The UN's healthcare branch announced that it had reversed its decision on Sunday following outrage among donors, governments and human rights groups at his appointment.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who made the appointment at a high-level meeting on non-communicable diseases in Uruguay on Wednesday, said in a statement that he had listened to those expressing concerns.
"Over the last few days, I have reflected on my appointment of H.E. President Robert Mugabe as WHO Goodwill Ambassador for NCDs in Africa. As a result I have decided to rescind the appointment," Mr Ghebreyesus said in a statement posted on his Twitter account.
Zimbabwe is known for its human-rights abuses and is subject to international sanctions.
Mr Mugabe regularly consults doctors abroad, while people in Zimbabwe are often forced to buy necessary drugs before going to hospital to seek medical treatment.
