UK KFA condemns anti-DPRK event ! Tonight the "Guardian " newspaper is holding an anti DPRK event in Islington . This event is not for ordinary people as tickets cost £20+ .Clearly the event is aimed at the well off, the liberal 'chattering classes, academics and businessmen. SIgnificantly pro-DPRK viewpoints have been deliberately excluded from the event .

No one from UK KFA or the Juche Idea Study Group of England was invited to attend this event despite the fact these organisations include people who have visited the DPRK 14 times and hold academic qualifications from the DPRK Instead a number of anti-DPRK academics such as Hazel Smith and Aidan Foster -Carter are will be speaking , both of these are inveterate DPRK bashers and haters .!

The introductory material for the event betrays an anti-DPRK bias saying that the DPRK's nuclear programme is a " bargaining chip to gain recognition abroad, and legitimacy and support at home"(!!!?) . Do not they not realise that the reason the DPRK started a nuclear weapons programme is to defend itself from US imperalism which attacked the DPRK in 1950 and several times threatened the use of nuclear weapons . The US brought 1,000 nuclear weapons into south Korea long before the DPRK had a nuclear programme .

As usual clichhes like "the world's most isolated nation" are trotted out . This ignores that the fact that the DPRK has diplomatic relations with many countries. In August last , a UK KFA delegation participated in an international festival which attracted over 300 people. How can the DPRK be isolated ?

Basically the "Guardian'" event Understanding North Korea: How likely is war " is another anti-DPRK propaganda exercise fronted by a couple of over paid academic apologists for US imperialism and the south Korean fascist puppet regime .
