Mr Farage heads for North Korea

The North Korean government is increasingly implementing the death penalty, including for people caught watching and sharing foreign films and TV dramas, a major UN report has found.

The dictatorship, which remains largely cut off from the world, is also subjecting its people to more forced labour while further restricting their freedoms, the report added.

The UN Human Rights Office found that over the past decade the North Korean state had tightened control over "all aspects of citizens' lives".

"No other population is under such restrictions in today's world," it concluded, adding that surveillance had become "more pervasive", helped in part by advances in technology.

I can't wait for him to be Prime Minister of the UK. That's going to make for some great content coming from there.

@GeistInTheMachine We're a country, not a youtube channel 🙄

@SunshineGirl You're more the latter than the former. Not much of a United Kingdom.

So, Texas is too. And others. Yup. And I'll take dictatorship over Washington, any day if I see us all housed and not poor.

Difficult to say what is going on in the UK at the moment.

@SunshineGirl Tommy Robinson can say what he likes in public. I dare not speak up on behalf of the people of Gaza.

@peterlee Spare a thought for the police who are left to reconcile these contradictions.

@SunshineGirl They are faced with an impossible dilemma.

But these demonstrations are nasty today, not based on compassion.

Farage is the British version of trump.

@Crazywaterspring He's certainly a 'wannabe'. It's not too late to stop him coming anywhere near the seat of power in the UK.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@Crazywaterspring A cheap imitation at best. He has borrowed practically all his policies from Trump's Republican party - highly ironic for a supposed British nationalist - and has nothing original to offer.

North Korea is a slave state. When people have nothing to lose sooner or later they will rebel.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@badminton People rebel by listening to foreign media, buying contraband, attempting to escape to the South . .

There have been two known periods of famine this century . . extreme poverty and hunger quickly saps the energy for united rebellion.
