North Korea's Ghost Airport | Michael Palin in North Korea | Channel 5

[@mrbojangle6118]

North Korea have their priorities back to front. They have spent a huge amount of money on an airport that nobody uses whilst most of the country are living in poverty.

[@Cassxowary]

It’s all about appearance not helping people

[@aresef]

They put resources in their nuclear insurance policy, causing other countries to ratchet up sanctions and further impoverish the North Korean people. But Kim doesn't care about that since he has China and other ways of getting around sanctions. That includes the abuse of diplomatic privileges by DPRK diplomats abroad.

If there were actually functioning airlines and flights out of the country, everyone would leave. The crowds would make Chicago's O'Hare or New York's JFK look like a ghost town.

[@B11O567]

Probably not. I doubt many North Koreans can afford to leave by airplane.

I love the way Palin said that here in the UK we have free speech citing the fact you can say what you like about the leadership of this country . True one thing and another thousand subjects you would loose you job, or your freedom if you said anything negative or even perceived as negative about black, trans, in many terms - women gays, the list gets bigger by the day SO there there are a thousand things you can talk about freely and even be disparaging but one thing you can't in North Korea AND here there is one thing you CAN and a thousand you can't . Which country has free speech! Also if you want the ultimate totalitarian guarantee of retribution imagine if two people are talking and the person that receives a comment doesn't take offence it is in law that is a third person not involved hears it and reports it ( the right to take offence on someone else's behalf ) Sounds like '1984' I know. That is here [ 'The hate laws in the UK ] - The ultimate filthy unfit police state: The UK Not N Korea, relatively they are still quite free.

[@TerryTheNewsGirl]

Do not ever call my country the filthy unfit police state! How dare you! Britain is a wonderful place and we can for the most part say whatever we wish. The things that are banned are classed as hate speech and quite rightly should be banned. Be we are free to say almost anything, except on Twitter.

[@ticklethypickle6368]

At least when we use free speech we don’t get killed for it.

[@ticklethypickle6368]

Our boy Hitler had opinions too and um look how that worked out. It’s one thing to have a negative opinion about someone but another thing when you compromise their human rights. Question is, is there a limit? Should there be a limit? Where do YOU draw the line?

[@ROOKTABULA]

You poor right wing Cancervatives! SO AGGRIEVED! " negative about black, trans, in many terms - women gays, ". Oh no!!! 'I'm no longer free to freely espouse bigotry without consequence, the way my type has always been allowed to!'. Fuck off.

[@PhoenixProdLLC]

Oh quit your fucking whining you spoiled, entitled old man! We get it GRAMPS! ALL you old guys can't fit in with the generations after yours so you spend your days WHINGING because new people have new ethics. Well get the fuck over it you nearly dead old hippy! Seriously just fuck the fuck right off . You Boomers have moldy scrambled eggs for brains anyway. Stuck in 1972 AND IT SHOWS slim, it SHOWS.

[@3DGEM3]

Didnt trump convince him to build this resort town?

[@PhoenixProdLLC]

Did you bother to reveal how horribly sexually abused those women are? And you "wonder" WHY Trump is so friendly about the NK? Can you say "sexual trafficking", Michael? I bet you can.

[@Cassxowary]

Beeble Brox that’s the least of it and trump is buddies with Kim Jong Il...

[@1eyepaul]

Well why don't you do something about it instead of complaining.

[@realhuman4396]

of course this random airport lady is sexually abused
