The Korean Friendship Association of the UK (KFA UK ) held a successful picket of the BBC (aka the British Brainwashing Corporation ) at 1500 hours GMT on the 12 November 2024. Participating in the picket were KFA UK members and supporters from London , West of England and the south coast as well members of the leadership of the New Communist Party .
The DPRK flag and KFA UK banner were held high outside the BBC .
Dr Dermot Hudson Chairman of KFA UK made a speech in which he said (excerpts ) “ We are here today to protest against the BBC’s persistent demonisation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK ) or People’s Korea .
No country -apart from maybe Russia and the former Soviet Union - has been lied about more by the BBC than the DPRK .Recently , the BBC or British Brainwashing Corporation. Recently the BBC has tried to blame the DPRK over the conflict in Ukraine making false allegations and quoted unconfirmed rumours and misleading reports .
The BBC has taken upon itself the role of a shock brigade in the propaganda war against People’s Korea.The BBC is an official state broadcaster, it is not independent but run by the British government . It is closely linked to British imperialism and US imperialism .It’s staff are vetted ,so that no one with pro DPRK , pro socialist views cannot work for the BBC or indeed anyone to the Left of Genghis Khan , in the BBC it is very much ‘No lefties here John ‘ . BBC staff are 1000 per cent anti-communist and 10,000 per cent anti DPRK .They enjoy big salaries and many privileges such as private health care.
The BBC promotes the ideology of market totalitarianism and liberal fascism . The BBC is a tool of the ruling elite and the big monopoly corporations.
What is disgusting is that not only does the BBC lie about People’s Korea but it expects us to pay for its lies in the form of the BBC licence fee which is £169 per year.”
A letter of protest from KFA UK to the director general and management board of the BBC was handed to a member of BBC staff.
Alan Bolon KFA UK Organisation Secretary and head of KFA UK West of England made a short speech denouncing the BBC for lying and telling untruths and also expecting the public to pay for.
Slogans such as “Defend People’s Korea “ and “Down with the British Brainwashing Corporation “ were shouted.
The picket concluded at 1615 hours.
