Vanity Projects



Many Pyongyangites give new ice cream factory the cold shoulder

"It doesn't seem right to talk about how a new ice cream factory represents the love of the Supreme Leader when people are having a tough time," a source told Daily NK

However, many Pyongyangites are indifferent to the hype, with many saying the factory was built simply for show, Daily NK’s source said.

In fact, many people have questioned why erecting an ice cream factory in winter rather than summer represents “love for the people,” and are complaining how they are “sick of hearing the government clamor on about ‘love of the people’ all the time while everyone is shivering from hunger and cold.”

An equivalent UK vanity project might be one where the government gives everyone a Net Zero ice cream this Christmas.
