Two Approaches



N. Korea executes nuclear power plant researchers over project failures


They were branded "anti-party figures" who had "contradicted the party's guidelines for socialist construction"

North Korean authorities have executed and imprisoned several key researchers involved in nuclear power plant construction, Daily NK has learned.

According to a Pyongyang source speaking to Daily NK on Tuesday, two senior researchers were executed and four junior researchers were punished for “failing to successfully complete their project and close the gap with international technological standards.”



A chap is bound to wonder what Kim Jong Miliband thinks of current progress at the Hinkley Point nuclear power project.

Compensation? For who, the fish?

Meanwhile, bat tunnels.

We're doomed aren't we.

Peter - yes we are doomed. Can't get anything done and unless that changes we are finished.

Imagine threatening the designers and instigators of the wind and solar transition that if blackouts and power shortages occurred, they would be executed? I would love that! And remember all third world cultures are superior to ours, so it would be perfectly ok to do it.

We won't have executions in the UK, but if power cuts lead to civil disorder, Keir Wrong Un' might redesignate Milliamp as "far right".

A K Haart said...

Tammly - and it would be authentically socialist.

Sam - yes, questions will be asked by the Very Dear Leader and Milliamp won't like that.
