It is getting like North Korea here , I can see it.

Joking aside if ever we give up our democratic system of government and handover power for example to Brussels this is the type of totalitarian regime we will head for. So many people take our democracy and system of law (the best and fairest in the world) for granted. That is what worries me. (not as worrying as having to drop margins I will admit)

Brussels' Centralist/Socialist Expansion is simply a re-balancing after Thatcher's Facist Dictatorship [sic].

Except that we were able to get rid of Thatcher.

Yeah. You're definitely onto something there.

Idiot.

Life in Brussels;

Quit panicking.

Had to laugh at some of the comments. People from Spain and even USA who think their countries are going the same way as what that NK guy describes!

I'm waiting for someone on here to start it off about the UK...

Scottish independence

North / South divide.

Oh, wait....

I suppose that even if the soldiers know that life in South Korea is so much better, they're somehow happy enough because they live comfortably compared to other North Koreans.

They have to be happy... or they get shot!

[Mich the Tester]

Highly unlikely they think this way, more likely they think that among North Korean people they do pretty well being in the army as at least it gets some food rations on the table.

The difference is pretty shocking really, and had it not been for USA then whole of Korea would be like North.

Potentially or maybe the whole weight of korean people would have been enough to over throw the regime but by freeing the south the essentially screwed the north.

but maybe not I am not expert

I wonder whether some North Korean soliders might later have regretted the side they fought on. Maybe they didn't have much choice in the matter, but I wonder.

A fantasy of the near future in which Britain is divided into Zones and castes to which men and women are pitilessly allocated at the end of their schooling.

you know the reason why Top Gun flight school was created.

it's a shame they have no oil otherwise America would come along and give them some 'freedom'

America actually came there and managed to give half of them (in South Korea) a bit of freedom.
