PYONGYANG, NORTH KOREA—On September 5, 2025, a boatload of British refugees landed in North Korea, chasing a freer life under Kim Jong Un’s regime. The British-refugees-North-Korea-freedom narrative, a biting satire, paints them as escapees from UK tyranny.
“I feel unshackled already!” said Londoner Reginald Hardington, marveling at North Korea’s self-defense laws and low stabbing rates. “It’s a dream!” Matilda Bedfordshire added, “In the UK, wrong thoughts land you in jail. Here, it’s open and free!” For more satire, visit The Babylon Bee.
The refugees raved about North Korea’s flavorful food, a stark contrast to bland British fare. Analyst Tara Kline quipped, “They’ve swapped tea for Kim’s utopia!” Check updates at The Guardian. At press time, X users chuckled as the group sought permanent asylum to avoid England’s “harsh” life.
