Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

it has been annouinced that the N.Korean desspot and dictator KIM JUNG IL is not il anymore but dead,how do people on here feel it will affect the situation with S Korea and the surrounding asian countries and also the western world,only takes 1 idiot to push the button and his son is very inexperienced, ANY ONE HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS

re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

Wont make a jot of difference,his successor will be just as nutty.

re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

Well it is his son, chip off the old block:rolleyes:

re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

So this on Breakfast TV this morning, he died on Saturday, but it took them two days to prepare the official statement, it actually showed a bunch of people watching the statement being made on Korean TV, they were crying like babies, wonder if that was stage managed, the camera operator was quite good really he managed to keep the guy with the machine gun out of shot throughout the film clip;)

Public Grief in North Korea
 

Did you see the pictures of public grief on the streets of North Korea? Crowds of people in apparent hysterics grieving the loss of their leader.

Either they have been brainwashed or are taking the proverbial for the sake of the cameras.

Very unconvincing, whatever it is!

Re: Public Grief in North Korea
 

Aye, I've just seen it. Did you notice Mancie and Comonstanley crying their eyes out?

Re: Public Grief in North Korea
 

Did yeh notice if it was Toffee Guy,holding the machine gun?:D

Re: Public Grief in North Korea
 

Groove dislikes these mawkish public displays of grief.

Re: Public Grief in North Korea
 

You caused one sat night by not appearing.:D

re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

he won't ever be known as Kim Jung il anymore...they changed his name to Kim Jung Dead

re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

I wonder how the North Korean propaganda machine reported his death: given his perceived immortality / deity status.

Will be interesting to see what happens under Kim 'Wrong Un'.

re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

never heard of him, couldn't care less - simple!

Re: Public Grief in North Korea
 

Groove apologises Mr.Cashman.

Re: Public Grief in North Korea
 

Never seen scenes like this, masses of people crying in public. Where is the old stiff upper lip?

Re: Public Grief in North Korea
 

Now jim i'd be crying maybe,wi a machine gun pointed at me.:D

re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

His funeral is planned for December 28, with a mourning period to last until December 29.

If you were hoping to spend a Happy Christmas in Pyongyang, I'd forget it.

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

I have just merged the two threads that were discussing this.

Re: Public Grief in North Korea
 

those who dont show enough grief will most likely be executed

wasnt he the chap that executed people for wearing glasses as he deemed it a sign of superior intelligence and saw intelligent people as a threat ?

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

Nice to have a little good news befor Christmas:D

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

great news would be his son dropping dead too so that his other son can take over.The son kim didnt choose as his successor seems quit ehappy to play computer games than torture people its no wonder he didnt get the job lol

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

I said earlier he died on Saturday and it took until this morning for them to concoct a report of his death, which was announced on Korean State TV

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

Must have been a mummies boy:D

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

Apparently he died on a train. The conductor asked for his ticket, he didn't move, and was thrown off by da 'Big Man'. Later enquiries revealed he'd actually eaten a dodgy prawn sandwich from the buffet.

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

Ah-so.. he was a Man UTD supporter?..in that case it's a great loss.:(

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

I wonder who he's come back as?

Next door neighbour's budgie's just laid an egg.

:rolleyes:

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

I've been watching scenes of people in the street screaming and crying all over the place, that's everybody, I know there's always sadness when some one dies, but this is what I would call just a tad overkill, hell I have lost both my parents and although very upset at the time I certainly refrained from a public show like this, if a Prime Minister of any party died in office I doubt if you'd see a tear shed on the streets never mind mass hysteria

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

I bet we will see similar scenes on the streets of Blackburn next April when Rovers get the formal drop.

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

Its stange really cos he must have been the most feared, hated, tyrannical dictator in the world. The gulags in modern day N.Korea make the nazi death camps look like Butlins. As has been suggested, i think people are grieving out of fear of reprisals if they don't grieve.

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

Just like most labour MP's, I think. They vote out of fear for what the boy Milliband tells them to vote.

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

Every population has a it's own national character, temperament and inclination I suppose.:rolleyes:

This seems to be particularly well-ordered and orchestrated for the rest of the world to see. Was he really seen as a "God" by some of these people or is the oppression really so great (I suspect so!).

I remember when Pope John-Paul II died there was genuine grief in Italy - and who can forget the amazing out-pouring of grief in the UK when Princess Diana died -that would have been unheard of at one time!

Maybe behind the scenes the N. Koreans are hoping that new young ruler Kim Jong Un may mean a breath of fresh air and some changes for the better given that he is rumoured to have studied in Switzerland...There are some that believe he is the alter ego of Booji Boy -lead singer of Devo:D

booji boy - Bing Video

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

It'll be interesting to see the reaction when Mrs T passes away.

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

well all long time members on here know what mine will be.

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

Groove cant understand the animosity shown to Thatcher...she appears to have had more backbone than all PM's since.

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

You may surprise yourself Cashy!

Whenever an "Iconic" person, who has always been around for as long as you can remember, goes and pops off. I find it's sad -something to do with a part of your lifetime becoming History and getting older too.:rolleyes::D

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

You may well find it sad, but as fer suprise meself, yeh certainly don't know me di,;) it would be ruddy amazing.

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

Thats one thing we can agree on.:D Gengis Khan, Atilla The Hun, had backbone, dont make em good old boys in my eyes.:rolleyes:

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

Yeah, but his lad, Ilyas is a good 'un. ;)

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

Never say never! She'll bat on for quite a bit yet I imagine and they do say we all get mellower with age...:D

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

Cashy is the exception that proves the rule! :D

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

There speaks a guy that does know me di.;)

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

Yup, more chance of Hell freezing over, than Cashy not doing a conga round the streets of Accy, when the old girl pegs it.

Good job I'm not the undertaker.

I'd put her coffin on a swivel pulley system, with a crank handle on her tombstone.

So that people could come along and pay their respects forever more.

Nevermind the Lady's not for turning.

She'd be turned so often you could power a generator in a former pit village.

:rolleyes:

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

I for one think that if she had been dealing with the European mob, we certainly wouldn't be kowtowing down the the Brussels bureaucrats like we have been for the last 20 years

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

are they still debating if Thatcher should have a state funeral or have they decided to let her actually die before burrying her ? :D

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

It looks like there will be
Margaret Thatcher approves plans for her funeral at St Paul's Cathedral | Mail Online

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

She'll need a grave the size of Yorkshire so that there will be enough room for those wanting to dance on it:D

Hey, I finally found a good use for Yorkshire:eek:

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

Not forgetting that the people of North Korea only get told what the government wants to tell them.
Pure big brother there

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

True but they put a good pretence up here.:D

Re: Public Grief in North Korea
 

Get yourself down to Ewood tonight, similar scenes I believe.

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

North Korea..is it so bad? zero unemployment..no strikes..no welfare..no riots..nobody moaning about immigration..no protests, nobody making a fuss about cuts.. must sounds like heaven to some of the members on here :D

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

Sounds a lot like parliament:D

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

Cry or die.

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

No starvation.

Always a puppy, simmering away in a pot on the hob.

:dancedog:

Re: Public Grief in North Korea
 

kind of reminds me of the halfwits that travelled to watch that diana womans funeral in london so they could compete in the out cry the person next to you contest live on tv .

it never fails to amaze me how people will cry to the extreems for people they have never met .It seemed to become fashionable to show obsurd amounts of greif when that tart died :rolleyes:

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

From reading Mancie post you quoted Rindi, it appears he thinks the Korean way of life is ideal, maybe if he thinks its so wonderful, I wonder why he hasn't deserted these shores long ago and taken North Korean citizenship:rolleyes:

Re: Public Grief in North Korea
 

Ya and It still makes me wonder why, people make shrines like the ones created outside Buckhouse, spending millions on flowers, to me that's worse than shedding crocodile tears

Re: Public Grief in North Korea
 

ironicly the water shrine to her looks like a race track lol

http://www.aboutbritain.com/images/a...alFountain.jpg

Re: Public Grief in North Korea
 

Can't argue wi that,tears are free, flowers cost money.:D

Re: Public Grief in North Korea
 

Nothing wrong with that, but the piles of rotting flowers outside Buckhouse and St James Palace and other places was bloody stupid, there must have been millions wasted in that week back in 1997, it would have don't more good making a donation to a homeless charity or centre point, projects that she supported, the only thing that happened was it meant workmen had a lot of extra work cleaning up the mess when the flowers started rotting, what a total waste

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

And there is no Car Ownership, unless you are a government official. A country where a Fridge, Television, VCR, Camera (manual, not digital), Washing Machine, Sewing Machine are considered luxuries, if you own one or more. (rare) you are considered rich.
Yeah great place Mancie....

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

:D I didn't say I would like it..I said it must sound like an ideal place for some members :rolleyes:

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

your right. sorry mate

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

Have just been watching "Press TV" it appears those wonderful people in South Korea are being prohibited from sending any message of condelence to North Korea,:rolleyes: reminds me of the owd saying- "They all Pish in the same pot":rolleyes: but still never mind the yanks n the west say they are ok.:D

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

That probably because they pish in their pot too cashy:D

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

There is a rumour circulating that Kim Jong-Un has been assassinated,

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

A rumour stared on a Chinese Twitter like platform....
I thought you were the sceptic Margaret, unless we get some substantial information, I would say it is a non event

Re: Public Grief in North Korea - Kim Jung il Is Dead
 

The King is dead log live the King the King is dead:eek::eek::eek:
