The North will rise again!!
There are also reports that Pyongyang were responsible for the drone footage of parked-up buses at Riverside during the strike recently on Youtube, but those reports remain unconfirmed.
In other news, productivity is up in downtown Pyongyang after comparisons were made between the fledgling North Korean car industry and a farmer cultivating potatoes in a field outside the capital. There is no evidence to the rumour that the farmer was shot dead to achieve productivity parity.

We've removed it, after some consideration, to avoid reopening a topic that was heavily discussed in there, and isn't nice for the victim to potentially have to go through time and time again.
People can use Google, find documents are in the public domain, and make their own mind up.

Personally, I'm beginning to think that the juche regime of North Korea is modelled on this forum: overzealous and no-fun at all.

I wouldn't have thought so.
Attempting to control the narrative to promote positive stories whilst suppressing negative ones might well be the norm in more authoritarian outlets of manufactured debate, but it shouldn't be commonplace where free discussion and opinion are encouraged.
If someone wants to do the former, then I don't see any benefit in allowing threads to be created only to discuss flowers and unicorns whilst ignoring weeds and dragons.
Just my opinion.

A sad day in the history of the forum.
A certain thread has been deleted because the slippery director of the company is unable to handle the criticism of how he handles his business, and how he manages his staff.
'Daddy James' (a sobriquet of his own choosing, I'm led to believe) does indeed hold sway over the moderation of this forum as once feared.
Bur fear not. This is what he's apparently scared of....

Can he seriously not take one hit of criticism. Its unbelievable it really is. A whole thread gone cause one man cant admit hes done a terrible job. His responses on Facebook as well to people as well have been something of salty popcorn.
Its hilarious watching this unfold in front of our very eyes. And this man has the Radio 1 weekend on Friday with raido silence on every front of whos running whats the timetable and even works left in the dust cause they dont know what to think
All he has to do is say something but nope raido silence. But its okay cause he announced on the 7th May that he would fancy taken 750 & 5811 out on a special run its laughable that he can organise this and then expect it to all be swept under the carpet
While we are at it
£10 for this being taken down. All bets final £10 for this being taken down

As someone who has lived and worked in the glorious country of North Korea, I can assure you that, unlike this forum, discussion is not as overzealously moderated as you might think.
