  4. With an extensive portfolio of articles exposing North Korean levels of propaganda, liblabtory corruption, incompetence and hypocrisy you should really be a shoo in to this kind of job. It’s just that……
    Happy to provide a reference if required.

  12. Best of luck.
    My apologies, hope that I am proven wrong but I still think the lack of that O Grade in English will prove to be your Achilles heel.
