Down with the BBC lies!

by New Worker correspondent

London comrades joined other Korean friendship activists outside Broadcasting House on Saturday to protest at the consistent bias of the BBC against the DPR Korea. The picket was called by the Korean Friendship Association whose Chairman, Dermot Hudson said "the BBC consistently demonises and smears the DPRK by using clichés like "impoverished", "totalitarian " and " isolated " . Rather than being impoverished the DPRK has a rapidly growing economy, it is a people-oriented society and rather than being isolated has diplomatic relations with over a 100 countries.
 “In fact People's Korea is a country that abolished taxation in 1974 and yet has free education , free health care  and virtually free housing . People's Korea is a society free from knife crime .
“In People's Korea there is no BlackRock or other big monopoly corporations exploiting the people. No Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Richard  Branson or Jeffrey Epstein. They do not exist in People's Korea .No amount of blather about 'dictatorship ' can ever hide or erase this fact".
Recently the popular left wing German newspaper Junge Welt carried an article titled  British Bullshit Club – how the BBC stylises north Korea as a horror setting  by Martin Weiser , a German commentator on People’s Korea. Weiser in his article correctly pointed that BBC reporters who cover the DPRK are actually based in the south Korean capital, Seoul, and have no access to the DPRK.
The BBC dramatically claims they had got “hold  of an iPhone smuggled out of north Korea” when, in fact,  in fact you can just walk into a shop in the DPRK and buy one.
The BBC seemed shocked that if put in the word for “south Korea” into a DPRK phone  , it responds with the word “puppet”.  But that’s what it is South Korea is a puppet regime, 100 per cent and a 1,000 per cent. It is occupied by 30,000 US troops and its economy is dominated  by foreign multi-nationals .
As for the "wealth " and "freedom " in south Korea that the BBC chunter on about, this is an illusion , a mirage . In fact south Korea has extreme inequality and is full of slums and poverty . It has a 21 hour working day . As for the so-called "freedom" , south Korea has the National Security Law which jails people for supporting the DPRK and in the past communists have been executed . Do not forget that puppet ruler Yoon declared martial law in December 2024.
Back in November 2024 the KFA picketed the BBC and handed over a letter to the BBC Director-General and also sent a copy by email . To date the BBC have never replied . The maxim " The Innocent Wish To Speak , the Guilty wish to remain silent " comes to mind .
