Oh no.........
Could it have been that extra leg that got him in to trouble.
Reports about Pyongyang declaring war on South Korea resulted from a mistranslation with the original text saying only that the North was entering a "state of war" with its southern neighbor, and that it would act accordingly only in case of provocations, which could degenerate in a full-scale war and even a nuclear one.
“From this moment on relations between North and South enter a state of war,” a statement carried by the North's official KCNA news agency said. The statement jointly issued by the North Korean government, political parties and public organizations, added that in case of enemy provocations, the Northern armed forces would respond by striking out at US bases in the Hawaii, Guam, South Korea and also at South Korean military bases and the presidential residence in Seoul.
North Korea. Running out of bluffs. Propaganda machine in overdrive.
Not sure quite why, but I'm really sad to hear that.
Malcolm Farr also jumped on board a false claim about Thatcher:CanOz
Paul Bongiorno on Radio National today repeats a half truth about Margaret Thatcher: She was convinced of the science of global warming..
..But Bongiorno, in praising the speech and noting Thatcher was a trained chemist, neglects to add that Thatcher later changed her mind after studying further evidence.

Former HSU boss on money-laundering charge
Former union boss and Labor Party president Michael Williamson has been charged with another two fraud and corruption offences.
The former national president of the Health Services Union (HSU) was already charged with 48 offences, including fraud and corruption.
Today, charges of money laundering and cheating or defrauding were added to that list.
Williamson was excused from appearing in the Downing Centre Local Court.
His bail conditions were tightened, and he is now banned from contacting Crown witnesses except through his lawyers
I thought Thatcher dragged Britain out of the mire.
I have read her books and have great admiration for her.
From the ABC:
As Britain's longest-serving 20th century prime minister and the only woman to have held the job, Lady Thatcher presided over a decade of radical change in Britain.
From the day in May 1979 that she arrived in 10 Downing Street with her trademark handbag, the grocer's daughter used no-nonsense rhetoric and a steely power over her male acolytes to take stagnant Britain on a journey of economic reform.
She was also one of the few prime ministers to have an ideology named after her: Thatcherism's appeal was to the individual, its rhetoric was all about freedom and an end to class division, about less state control and more private enterprise, about smashing anything that believed in collective power, from trade unions to the Soviet bloc.
Found it pretty poor that people were singing and dancing in the streets at the news of her passing.
Sure - they may have had some fiery clashes...but let the dead lie in peace.
