What a coincidence



N. Korea turns flooding into opportunity for spreading propaganda

Loudspeaker trucks blare their messages all day while families grapple with basic needs, such as how to feed their children

North Korean authorities have turned recent flooding into an opportunity for a massive propaganda campaign. Loudspeaker trucks and propaganda teams have been touring affected and unaffected regions daily, blasting praise for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and calling on people to take part in recovery efforts in the morning and evening. Accordingly, people complain of intense fatigue.


As we know, there are other parts of the world such as the UK, where flooding is used as an opportunity for political propaganda. And sunshine of course, we're one up on them there.

We are one up on them, but we also suffer from severe fatigue, (of the mental variety).

Tammly - that seems to be another similarity between the UK population and North Korean - government induced fatigue.

James - good point, I'd forgotten that.
