Hopefully that will cause the end of that failed experiment in N Korea, but I guess that will depend on the army

Hmm - now they will be run by a twenty something who has probably had every whim his life catered for. Now he has a country to play with.

Would be nice if they had a 'Korean Spring' and the long suffering population were able to fight back for once !!

Im saddened at the Loss of the World Greatest Golfer. Kim Jong also holds the record for the most holes in one . in a single round. I think it is 11. It is corroborated as his large team of body guards confirm this outstanding golfers ability

One nutter replaced by his own son, who's even more nuts....

 

N.Korea is f*cked for even more years, sadly.

Dune is there any truth in the rumour you will be going to Kim Jongs state funeral as the British goverment's representative?

Might not be so. His oldest son was being groomed to take over, but he fell out of favour for sneaking off to Tokyo Disneyland on a false passport and saying he didnt think three generation of the same family should rule. Not much is known about the younger Kim ....

so sad we have lost two of the great golf personalities this year. Seve was really sad, now Kim. Hopefully he gets a mention at sports personality

Did a bit of news-surfing after this.... seems the whole contry might collaps after this, so I'll imagine, whoever takes charge is going to do everything, if not more, to hold on to power... and in N.Korea, that means being more nuts than the previous guy.

It worries me who Kim Jong-un actually is. His father was an absolute tyrant and evil man, but he always stopped short of raising the confrontations too far, more posture at times than action. Hopefully the new guy starts to reform a bit(as if!), so the people of North Korea can break free from the Kim family's iron grip.

Apparently Sven Goran Eriksson is the favourite to take over.
