London 12th of April

The 101st anniversary of the birth of the great leader President Kim Il Sung is an event that will be celebrated vigorously and joyously by the people of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (which is today facing the threat of intensified US imperialist pressure and aggression) and by friends of Korea throughout the world including the UK Korean Friendship Association.
                                The life of the great leader President Kim Il Sung is celebrated because he was a great people's leader and a unique leader whose activities spanned 8 decades of the 20th century . From an early age President Kim Il Sung devoted his entire life to the people, forming organisations to liberate the people from oppression and win the independence of Korea from
Japanese imperialism . The whole philosophy of Juche created by him is one of
independence.
               The great leader President Kim Il Sung proved that it was not only good at destroying the old but a master of creating the new. He led the carrying out of a complex two-stage social revolution freeing the people from the shackles of feudalism and imperialism. He created a unique people-centred socialist system the like of which is not seen anywhere else in the world  , moreover it has stood the test of time. Declaring that" the people are my god" President Kim Il Sung ensured that they were put first in everything. Free medical care was introduced in 1953 and free education in 1959. Taxation, a source of misery, was abolished in 1974. The DPRK is an oasis of harmony in a troubled world.
         The great leader President Kim Il Sung was a stalwart of independence . He kicked the Japanese imperialists out of Korea in 1945 and ensured that the Yanks were not able to invade the DPRK and turn it into their colony. He stood firm against any attempts from anywhere to dominate the  DPRK or interfere in it. It is a universally known fact that the socialism of the DPRK is not a copy of any other model but Korean-style socialism based on the Juche idea, This is thanks to the leadership of the great leader President Kim Il Sung.
    Today the ideas of eternal leader President Kim Il Sung are carried forward by dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un who is defending the independence of the DPRK and leading it to victory in the confrontation with the US imperialists.
