Down with the BBC lie-machine

by New Worker correspondent

Theo Russell joined other Korean solidarity campaigners outside Broadcasting House on Saturday to condemn the BBC’s blatant bias against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). The NCP London Organiser was taking part in a picket outside the BBC’s London HQ, called by the Korean Friendship Association (KFA), to highlight the BBC’s ongoing demonisation of Democratic Korea in its home and overseas broadcasts.

In 2017 the state broadcaster began a special Korean language service in a renewed imperialist propaganda campaign that targets the people’s government in north Korea.

Although the BBC poses as ‘impartial’ it uncritically repeats the anti-communist hysteria of the most reactionary elements of south Korean society, and the lies and smears of American Cold War warriors.

Korean posters in London

DPRK ambassador at the exhibition

By New Worker correspondent

Korean modern poster art returned to a gallery in London’s now fashionable East End last weekend, with a display of 20 original hand-painted posters from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). At the opening ceremony Democratic Korean ambassador Choe Il said the posters reflected the reality of Juche Korea, which is defying the imperialist sanctions to advance under the banner of self-reliance.

All the posters were up for sale and visitors could also buy souvenirs, badges, and DPRK books and pamphlets at the literature table in the hall. The posters, covering a number of themes ranging from economic construction to sports, were part of an exhibition organised by the Korean Friendship Association (KFA), which regularly holds meetings and cultural events in the capital throughout the year.
