The fear of North Korea

[klr]

I couldn't even finish watching.

I think I've only ever seen about 10 seconds of that incident. It was more than enough.

I got to the point (about 5 seconds in) where he creepily said "Would you like me to be the cat". That was enough for me.

We are giving you advance notice that there will be no advance notice.

Wise man. Very wise.

On the other hand, I'm finding it very hard to stop watching your avatar, FBM.

Bouncy-bouncy.

Notice she holds her boobs down when she kicks.

I know, you were appreciating her style, not her bod. (A+ for that!)

[Coito ergo sum]

This is so toe curling I can hardly watch it..

That's the end. There is nothing more.

Anytime Galloway says anything now, however, this can be posted in reply. LOL.

Boobs? What boobs? Nice snap in that kick, but she needs to rotate her hips more...and more...and more...I may have to take a break here...

John Sweeney is a well-known investigative journalist, whose past credits include delving deep into the wonderful world of Scientology. If the LSE students didn't cop to what was going on, that's their problem.

I like the bit where the LSE say this has damaged their reputation. This is the institution that accepted donations from Gaddafi"s son....

Yup.

On the NK side, the trip was organised - needless to say - by an organ of the NK regime. So it's not as if the students were ever going to get an accurate picture of what the country is like. Why did they ever bother to go in the first place?

Preliminary to the LSE getting a £10m donation for the Kim Jong Un Centre for International Relations and Ballistics.

They'd need it. The LSE is well down the UK rankings when it comes to research income. It's not even in the same division as the rest of the big universities it's supposed to be on a par with. That's what comes from specialising too much in the social sciences.

Heh heh heh. You said "social sciences"!

Then there's the flair of North Korea:

Exactly what "research" is involved in economics anyway? I wouldn't have thought there was much to research with respect to the movement of little green pieces of paper. Makes me wonder why the hell there's a Nobel Prize for economics. It's not as if economics has produced anything remotely resembling the achievements of physics, is it?

There isn't really a Nobel Prize in Economics. There is a prize associated with the Nobel Foundation, and funded by a bank - and while the Nobel Foundation won't disown it, it is a bit of an embarrassment, not least because winners have a nasty habit of causing major economic failures and catastrophic business losses - to wit - the Long Term Capital Management fiasco.

When you hear someone introduced as a Nobel Prize in Economics winner, it is time to play Bias Bingo.

Yeah, yeah. I know.

It's also time to wonder how they keep finding one or more people to award it to every year.

It is easy when you have a budget, and an imperative to "find" a winner every year.

And there's always an economist around who'll say precisely what their paymasters want.
