Refuting myths ,lies and urban legends about UK KFA .

This year we have been expanding our activity but we still encounter a few doubters who say they cannot support UK KFA for this or that reason . Whilst this is not a comprehensive rebuttal , we have just picked up a few things .
1. UK KFA is 'unseen and unheard ' . Wrong !!! . During last year we held several meetings , 3 pickets plus a poster exhibition over two weekends . Over the past two years we held regional meetings in Derby , Liverpool and Stoke On Trent . UK KFA Chairman Dr Dermot Hudson appeared on BBC TV twice in 2017 as well as on Al Jazeera and TRT . No one can say that KFA is 'unseen and unheard ' . In fact UK KFA does what it says on the tin and defends the DPRK , online and on the streets, we defend the DPRK 24\7.
2. 'UK KFA is controlled by or affiliated to one party ' . In fact UK KFA is not affiliated to any political party and does not fund any political party , nor do we receive funds from any political party . The vast majority of UK KFA members do not belong to any political party . Of those who do belong to political parties , we have members of several political parties.
3. UK KFA is really just one or two people . No UK KFA has hundreds of registered members plus 4, 255 likes on Facebook . The UK KFA leadership comprises of several people .
4. "KFA is just online " . Not true we hold meetings , events and seminars .
5. "UK KFA is too small for us to support , blah, blah " . Wrong UK KFA is part of the worldwide Korean Friendship Association with over 17,000 members plus as stated above we have hundreds of members registered . Saying KFA events are too small to support is really a self-fulfilling argument because if you do not turn then there is one less person .If certain organisations give us support numbers at events would increase.
6. KFA has the same level of recognition from the DPRK as other parties and friendship bodies so it is nothing special . In fact KFA President Alejandro Cao Be Benos and several other KFA officials and activists have been awarded medals by the DPRK government . The Chairman of UK KFA holds a doctorate from the DPRK.
7. KFA is just 'Korea fetishists ' ! . The term Korea fetishist is an odd term , basically used to insult people who support the DPRK and Juche . In fact KFA members have a wide variety of interests
