North Korea...
 

...another C4 Dispatches investigation.

Just another bunch of "secret filming" which simply wanted us to "take the journalist's word for everything we were shown". Kids wandering the streets starving? Outrageous pap, biased and loaded reporting, surely?

Will you stop this?

I suggest you start to learn how these peogrammes are commisioned. The company that produced the programme last night is not the same company that produced the pilots drinking programme!

I watched last nights problem and was shocked at what I saw. I have no reason to doubt the stories told. As someone mentioned, the TV is not a court of law and the information doesn't have to stand up to the same rules of evidence that some of you barrack room lawyers seem so upset about.

In this instance the Dipatches programme served to highlight some of the absolute hypocracy of the government which is recognising the North Korean government and provising aid which does not go to those who need it most but to the 'party faithful' and the military. The stories of the concentration camps should serve to alert all of us how absolutely pathetic politicians can be especially when they prefer to appease desposts.

To get back to the original post, secret filming in itself is not a problem and stop all all this moral outrage because of it. You are embarrasing and showing a lack of understanding of what is going on.

This thread moved to the Non Air Transport issues forum.

Well said Capt'n, and there was another fine 'secret filmed' programme on last Sunday, when 'Panorama' exposed the child labour used by the likes of Nike and Gap to produce their goods. Quite shocking, and the spokespeople from these companies were quite rightly put on the spot. Makes me think twice whenever buying anything these days, to buy from these companies who support child labour is immoral.

Yes, well said Captain - I was surprised and pleased by your response. Perhaps you should take part like this more often.

I wonder has anybody pointed out to those now jumping into bed with the North Koreans, that technically a state of war still exists between them and North Korea? The UK, Canada et al were part of the UN "police action" in that country back in the '50s, and to my knowledge no peace treaty between them has ever been signed.
