I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

Veel erger - dan de afkeer van de VVD - vind ik de mysogiene en autoritaire inslag die Wijers ten toon spreidde met zijn appjes en met "klaar!"
Waarom NRC besloot het nieuws over informateur Wijers te publiceren
Nieuwsbrief van de hoofdredactie: Door publicatie van een appje van Hans Wijers richtte NRC deze week de aandacht op zich. We leggen graag uit waarom we die berichten brachten.
