2nd November 2026

 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and  the  Korean Friendship Association of the UK  KFA  UK )  , issued a joint statement in support of the press statement of Kim Jong Sik, first vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK ) which was titled "Immutable is our national defence policy to strengthen the nuclear war deterrent with more increasing speed" and issued on the 2nd of November;

As the year 2026 draws to a close the US and ROK have stepped up their actions for confrontation with the DPRK. The US and ROK staged the Iron Mace , Freedom Flag and Hoguk aggressive war exercises.

What is of particular note is that the US and ROK carried out the Iron Mace exercises which involves nuclear and conventional forces in secret from September 29 to October 2.

Vice-director Kim Jong Sik points out that  " Iron Mace, which has been staged annually since 2024, fully betrays that the U.S. remains unchanged in its wild ambition to stifle the DPRK with nukes and such threats are escalating with each passing day."

Thus is only correct and just that the DPRK should ceaselessly , without let-up or marking time , continue to bolster its nuclear forces.

The US and ROK have increased their reconnaissance of the DPRK and staged other military manoeuvres . This surely shows that they are planning a war on the Korean peninsula .

Vice-director Kim Jong Sik declared that "The reality teaches once again the underlying truth that strength is peace and peace is guaranteed only by strength". Indeed peace rests on the bayonets of the Korean People's Army.

We believe it is correct for the DPRK to increase its nuclear forces to counter the aggression of the US and ROK  . This is the independent right of the DPRK and the only way to preserve peace.

Report of KFA UK Picket of the BBC 31.10.2026

The Korean Friendship Association of the UK (KFA UK ) organised a picket of the British Broadcasting Corporation under the title “Down with the British Brainwashing Corporation - No More BBC Lies” . The picket was lively and militant , it was probably the biggest KFA UK picket of the BBC in recent years .

Participating in the picket were officials and members of  KFA UK along with members of the New Communist Party , the CPGBML , British Posadists and anti-imperialists in London .

KFA UK Chairman Dr Dermot Hudson  made a short speech in which he pointed out that  “The BBC represents the ruling elite , the so-called “Epstein class “ . In fact in the past , the BBC employed the likes of Jimmy Savile and Huw Edwards . Who knows if there more of such people at the BBC . BBC staff enjoy massive salaries paid for by the extortionate BBC licence fee of £180 per year and the taxpayer.

The BBC’s lies about People’s Korea are endless and are too numerous to mention . They insult the DPRK by calling it “North Korea “ and not using the correct title .

The BBC simply reproduces and recycles the lying propaganda of the south Korean puppet fascist regime , the ROK . The ROK is the sworn enemy of People’s Korea and the No 1 hostile state  . In recent months and weeks the ROK puppet regime created a false flag incident over a an alleged landmine explosion . The BBC simply repeated the false allegations of the ROK puppets . The BBC is an accessory to the war propaganda of the ROK puppets against the DPRK.”

Dr Hudson also denounced the BBC for spreading fake news about a so-called “Crypto-currency heist “  saying that “The DPRK does not need "crypto-currency " , it is beating the US and UN sanctions through self-reliance . This is just another fake case to frame the DPRK” 

Alan Bolon KFA UK Organisation Secretary and head of KFA UK West of England also addressed the picket . He denounced the lies of the BBC and cited proven examples of the BBC lying about the DPRK . He also draw attention to the fact that the BBC had purposely and deliberately ignored a protest letter sent by KFA UK in November 2024.

Picketers chanted “ Down with the British Brainwashing Corporation ! “ , “BBC stop lying about People’s Korea “ , “Defend People’s Korea “  and “Long live self-reliance ! “.

Banners of KFA UK and DPRK flags were displayed along with banners of different political organisations.

The picket concluded at 16.20 hours GMT .

Press Statement of First Vice Department Director of WPK Central Committee

Pyongyang, November 2 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Sik, first vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, made public the following press statement "Immutable is our national defence policy to strengthen the nuclear war deterrent with more increasing speed" on November 2:

The enemy countries are going so reckless in their adventurous acts for military confrontation with the DPRK in the closing months of the year.

According to a recent media report of the ROK, the U.S. and the ROK staged in secrecy Iron Mace, military exercises for joint operation of the U.S. nuclear forces and the ROK conventional forces, from September 29 to October 2.

The military drill with an aggressive codename is the most hideous nuclear war rehearsal aimed at using nuclear weapons against the DPRK.

Iron Mace, which has been staged annually since 2024, fully betrays that the U.S. remains unchanged in its wild ambition to stifle the DPRK with nukes and such threats are escalating with each passing day.

What does the U.S. nuclear blackmail indicate?

It clearly proves how just the DPRK is in its efforts for ceaselessly bolstering up its nuclear forces capable of thoroughly coping with such nuclear threats.

In October, the U.S. frantically staged a series of war rehearsals, including the field mobile war drill Hoguk and large-scale combined air drill Freedom Flag, together with its stooges, across the ROK. Such successive maneuvers have seriously violated the security environment of the DPRK.

Worse still, the U.S. dispatched an "instructors' unit" of the Third Expedition of its marines, the advance force for overseas aggression, to the ROK to stage multi-domain reconnaissance drill for the first time. It is explicitly expressing its stand for confrontation, saying that the drill is aimed at supporting the ROK's Kill Chain and demonstrates that the U.S. reinforcements can be rapidly deployed on the Korean peninsula in contingency.

Furthermore it was reported that the U.S. air force's fighters from the U.S. mainland were involved in Keen Sword, large-scale U.S.-Japan joint military exercises staged in Japan, to conduct intensive joint air training day and night from Oct. 19 to 29.

The enemies have intensified its military moves in public or behind closed doors, as evidenced by such dangerous nuclear war rehearsal as Iron Mace and deployment of the reconnaissance force and U.S. mainland-based fighters, reinforcements to be brought to the Korean peninsula in case of emergency.

This underlines the need for the DPRK to contain and control the heinous enemies with more powerful nuclear means.

The reality teaches once again the underlying truth that strength is peace and peace is guaranteed only by strength.

We are full of capability and confidence to counter everything.

We will make every effort to ensure that the country's nuclear war deterrent defends the sovereignty and security of the state and regional peace in a responsible manner.

This is the basic mission of our nuclear war deterrent.

Immutable is the DPRK's national defence policy to strengthen the nuclear war deterrent of the country with more increasing speed in order to counter existing complex and potential threats. -0-

BGSJI on the 32nd anniversary of the publication of "Socialism Is A Science " by Chairman KIM JONG IL

   BRITISH GROUP FOR THE STUDY OF THE JUCHE IDEA

1st of November 2026

The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea (BGSJI ) issued a statement on the 32nd anniversary of the publication of "Socialism Is A Science " by the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL 

  On the 1st of November it will be 31 years  since the  publication of the work "Socialism Is A Science " by  the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL . It can be said without any hint of exaggeration nor fear of contradiction that this was the most important piece of writing on socialism published in the last part of the 20th century and that the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL was the only leader of a socialist country and leader in the international communist movement to tackle the question of defending and expounding the scientific nature of socialism and its inevitability. Marx, Engels and Lenin had turned socialism from a Utopian dream into a science. However towards during the late 1980s and early 1990s a series of abnormal events took place namely the frustration of socialism in a number of countries owing to the conspiracy and intrigue of the modern revisionists the agents of imperialism with the socialist camp and international communist movement. As the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL wrote that :

"The crumbling of socialism in various countries does not mean the failure of socialism as science but the bankruptcy of opportunism which has corrupted socialism. Although socialism is temporarily experiencing a heartrending setback because of opportunism, it will without fail be revived and win ultimate victory for its scientific accuracy and truth".

This was a timely rebuff to the imperialists and reactionaries who taking advantage of the abnormal developments  made extremely  false and slanderous assertions  that 'socialism had failed' and socialism was in some way "unscientific " or 'infeasible'.

  The work was an unparalleled inspiration to the world revolutionary peoples looking for answer in the difficult international situation caused by the frustration of socialism in some countries . It was a real shot in the arm, a tonic for the international communist movement. The work fully proves and reasserts the scientific nature of socialism .

     Comrade KIM JONG IL  smashes sophistries about 'class co-operation ' advocated by reformists and revisionists  explaining that : 

"The exploiter class and their stooges put forward the "theory of class cooperation" and tried to block the struggle of the exploited working masses against exploitation and oppression. Within the communist movement, reformists and revisionists demanded "class cooperation" and seriously harmed the revolutionary movement, Today, traitors to socialism are also clamoring for a return to capitalism, harboring illusions about capitalism and expecting "aid" and "cooperation" from the imperialists. History shows that to expect "good will" or "class cooperation" from the exploiter class is to make a mess of the revolution."

This was a telling blow to the theories collaborating with imperialism and given up class struggle. In some capitalist countries reformists and traitors advocated  "social partnership "  , compromise with the exploiting class but the teachings of comrade KIM JONG IL in "Socialism In A Science "  demonstrates that such ideas are fallacious . All those who aspire for socialism and who are active in the labour movement should take to heart this teaching of the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL and uphold like a red torch. Today under the leadership of dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN the DPRK is upholding self-reliance and self-development.

         Moreover in the work "Socialism Is A Science  " the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL showed that socialism is the banner of independence for the popular masses and the means for the popular masses including the working class to realise their independence, to become masters of their destiny. Thus leader KIM JONG IL defined socialism in a fresh way  free from any dogmatic interpretations.

"Socialism Is A Science " proved the accuracy and validity of the socialist idea. It fully demonstrated the scientific nature of socialism and inevitability of its victory . At the time its publication it served a beacon or lighthouse for the socialist ,communists and progressives of the world groping in the darkness caused by the frustration of socialism . "Socialism Is A Science " was the second "Communist Manifesto". It showed the true genius of the  comrade KIM JONG IL as a great theorist and ideologist .

There is no doubt that "Socialism Is A Science " is as relevant and valid today as it was 32 years ago. It charts the way ahead for the world socialist movement . Without hesitation we recommend a deep study of this work to the progressive and revolutionary people of the UK and the world,

BGSJI and KFA UK support press statement of DPRK Foreign Ministry on the latest MSMT sanctions

31st  of October  2026

 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and  the  Korean Friendship Association of the UK  KFA  UK )  , issued a joint statement in support of the press statement of the spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK that was issued on the 30th of October;

Recently the so-called "Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team"(MSMT) , a body with no legal authority which is nothing to do with the United Nations , issued a statement calling for more sanctions on the DPRK as well as the implementation of the UN Security Council sanctions on the the DPRK and the so-called "denuclearisation " of the DPRK .

The MSMT is made up of countries hostile to the DPRK such as the US and Australia .

The DPRK Foreign Ministry  rightly brands the MSMT statement as " a wanton violation of its sovereignty and vehemently denounces and rejects the U.S. and its vassal forces' ill-intended conspiratorial racket to justify their malicious and depraved hostile policy toward the DPRK under unjust and unreasonable pretexts."

Sanctions will never work on the DPRK . Moreover the DPRK 's nuclear status has been defined by law and is in the Constitution of the DPRK . The DPRK will continue to develop its nuclear forces on a deterrent basis .

The DPRK Foreign Ministry warns those countries that are member states of the MSMT that they will be held responsible for their actions .

We believe that the countries of the West should accept that the reality that the DPRK is a nuclear power and that there is nothing they can do about it ! The US and its lackeys should stop imposing sanctions on the DPRK !

We denounce the latest sanctions of the MSMT on the DPRK and support the press statement of the DPRK Foreign Ministry .

30th  of October  2026

 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and  the  Korean Friendship Association of the UK  KFA  UK )  , issued a joint statement in support of the press statement  of the spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK ) that was issued on Friday 30th of October;

In the past few days the US and ROK , the enemy states of the DPRK , have escalated tension on the Korean peninsula  in an unprecedented  ways . For example they held the so-called "Freedom Flag " exercise which was launched on the 26th of October ,This exercise is huge in scale and involves army , navy and marines as well as  AWACS and attack drones. The US and ROK have also staged multi-domain exercises .

The US and ROK are looking to launch pre-emptive strikes on the DPRK.

As the spokesman of the DPRK Ministry of National Defence stated "The frequent military moves of the enemy states at the doorstep of the DPRK are increasing the danger of inviting an unexpected armed conflict that will result in catastrophic consequences as the ROK military gangsters are deliberately aggravating the tension in the DPRK-ROK border area"

Clearly the situation on the Korean peninsula is approaching a situation of near war thanks to the continuous and fool hardy provocations. This being the case , the DPRK is perfectly entitled to take counteractions against the US imperialists and ROK puppets.

The DPRK Ministry of National Defence declares that  "Any hostile act of violating the security right of the state is the target of the DPRK's armed forces' just exercise of its sovereign right."

We support the right of the DPRK to defend itself from the aggressive moves of the US and ROK !

Defend People's Korea with No Ifs or Buts !
