The Juche Idea Study Group of England together with the UK Korean Friendship Association and the Association for the Study of Songun Politics held a meeting  on the 21st of September to mark the 70th anniversary of the passing away of Madame KIM JONG SUK and also the 74th anniversary of the foundation of the Workers ' Party of Korea , the 93rd anniversary of the formation of the Down With Imperialism Union and the 22nd anniversary of the election of the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL as general secretary of the Workers Party of Korea . The meeting was held in the Chadswell Centre , London and was attended by members of the JISGE, ASSPUK and UK KFA also the general secretary of the New Communist Party  and a representative of the UK branch of the Frontline Socialist Party of Sri Lanka .
   Dr Dermot Hudson opened the meeting by stressing the importance of the upcoming anniversaries of the DPRK . He also denounced Youtube's suspension of a pro DPRK channel .
 Speaking about the 70th anniversary of the demise of Madame KIM JONG SUK Dr Dermot Hudson said that "
Thanks to the ideas of KIM JONG SUK  and the Juche-based socialist system women in the DPRK enjoy real equality . Many measures have been put in place to practically guarantee women's equality in society . The DPRK does not have pornography or the capitalist 'sex industry'  or Western sexual culture which reduces women to pieces of meat . Today in the DPRK women are strong , independent minded , and revolutionary . This is the legacy of Madame KIM JONG SUK.
    The life and achievements of Madame KIM JONG SUK are indeed very great so that the Korean people and revolutionary peoples of the  world study and uphold them .  In some countries organisations bearing her name   have been formed such as the Peru group for the study of the revolutionary activities of Kim Jong Suk and the Kim Jong Suk Women's Union of Russia .
    Visiting the International Friendship Exhibition at Mt Myohyang  in of 2017 r we saw the waxwork statue of Madame KIM JONG SUK which looked very lifelike . Looking at the statue I recalled the great exploits of Madame KIM JONG SUK , Mother of Korea, heroine of the anti-Japanese revolutionary , indomitable communist revolutionary fighter and the pioneer of Juche-based , socialist women's liberation."

Andy Brooks spoke in detail about how women had been liberated in the DPRK and about how women are oppressed in south Korea.

Dr Dermot Hudson also spoke about the 74th anniversary of the foundation of the  Workers' Party of Korea saying that
The Workers' Party of Korea founded 74 years ago  by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung with its roots firmly in the revolutionary traditions of the Down With Imperialism Union has led more than six decades of successful socialist construction . The Workers' Party of Korea is the organiser and guide of the Korean people and the general staff of the Korean revolution
                     The Korean people under the banner of the red flag of the WPK built an advanced socialist system.  Korea was  transformed from being once a colony into a powerful socialist country of Juche , a country that is independent, self- sufficient and self- reliant in defence"
 Speaking about the 22nd anniversary of the election of comrade KIM JONG IL as general secretary of the WPK Dr Hudson said that "The decision to unanimously elect the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il as the general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea reflected  the yearning of the WPK members and entire Korean people to have the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il as the general secretary of the Workers Party of Korea . It was also a manifestation of the deep trust and support for the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il who had been leading the party for many years after starting work at the Central Committee of the WPK in 1964. The great leader comrade Kim Jong Il was the successor to the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung who carried forward the Juche revolutionary cause and cause of Juche party building"
 Dr Hudson spoke about the formation of the Down With Imperialism Union  pointing out that "The DIU was the first genuine communist revolutionary organisation in  Korea. The formation of the DIU marked a clean break with the stagnant  ideas of factionalism , flunkeyism and dogmatism  thus, it was a decisive leap forward in the task of building a revolutionary working-class party in Korea. The DIU completely broke with opportunism and also the national reformism of bourgeois nationalists"
   
The meeting discussed the achievements of People's Korea such as free housing , free education and other social benefits .
A message to the dear respected leader Marshal KIM JONG UN was adopted.

An exhibition of literature from the DPRK including the works of the great leader comrade KIM IL SUNG , great Chairman KIM JONG IL and respected Marshal KIM JONG UN  was held attracting interest.
