    Kim Jong-Il has died

    His son, Kim Jong-un has succeeded him, but is viewed as a puppet likely to be firmly under the thumb of the North Korean military.

    A puppet? Like father, like son...

    Did you never see Team America?

        They seem to have used the occasion to fire a sneaky missile at South Korea.

        Would not like to be in South Korea now. Unstable neighbour country that happens to hate you = bad. New leader trying to throw his weight around = bad. New leader continues on his dad's work = bad. New leader making conciliatory gestures towards ending communism and re-unifying with South Korea = bad.

        On the plus side, the jokes are flying in.

              Rick Perry, one of the Republican candidates for the US Presidency, just referred to him as Kim Jong the Second, misreading 'Il' as II.

                  They are unfortunately. Like FF, the SWP and the rest of the ULA.

                    Well, as odd (so we're informed) as the man was, is he as bad as Bertie? Or Dame Edna?

                      He ruled over an incredibly oppressive regime whose trademarks are famine, aggression towards neighbours and repression. So yes, he's considerably worse.

                      Staggered that the question has even been raised to be honest.

                        They're called the Looney Left for a reason, stupid comparison. Next they'll be comparing Bertie to Himmler

                          You'd prefer questions weren't raised? Sounds more like a repressive mentality.

                          Compare this - general hilarity, p!sstaking when a head of state dies (listening to BBC was painful), all comes out in the wash. Putin and co oversee another dodgy election and the world jumps up and down and joins in with the protesters (from a very safe distance) and reports very incorrectly.

                          Kazakhstan, Central Asia's stable nation, good guys, spend lots of money, buy up lots of Uni places in the UK and (Borat apart) are unseen. Yet last weekend the latest massacre (in the 100's) of protesters occurs and nothing more than brief reporting takes place. Why? Because the news reports are "looked after" thanks to big donations and that the multinational energy companies are all doing good business in Kazakhstan. There has been precious little "fair" or "professional" reporting going on, the forgotten land of Libya is one case in point. Though it's probably better not to ask questions.

                            My point is that Bertie and Enda aren't even remotely in that league. I have no problem with questions being raised. Even if sometimes they are a little bit silly.

                              Interesting that you took his response to mean that. I took it to mean that the comparison was just really, really stupid.
