'He couldn't speak English, didn't pass any exams and was obsessed with basketball and computer games': Kim Jong Un's Swiss school days revealed

He is the heir poised to become the next leader of rogue state North Korea.
But a probe into the school days of Kim Jong Un - youngest son of dictator Kim Jong Il - proves he is little more than an academic failure who squandered his education playing computer games and basketball.

But the signs are not good. Despite having thousands of pounds lavished on his education at a top private school in Switzerland, he didn't leave with even the equivalent of a single GCSE.
When he was just 15 his father took him out of the costly International School Of Berne, where fees now cost around £16,000 a year. He moved him to a nearby state school to save money but he was quickly put in the lower tier in class.

'He was good in maths. That sounds like he was a nerd - but he wasn't. He wasn't so hot in other subjects. I suppose in hindsight we could have nicknamed him Dim Jong-un. One day he just disappeared.'

'He never joined in. He looked down at his shoes all the time and fidgeted, never seemed easy. He was dipping into a bag from Loeb - that's the fanciest delicatessen in Berne, the kind of place where you can spend 100 euros on a couple of salads.
'And at that moment I thought of George Orwell's novel Animal Farm where, truly, some are more equal than others.'

Kim Dong Mugabe.
He's like a Kennedy?
There’s always the possibility that he os a “Claudius.” whom everyone thought was a dummy. Of course, Claudius was a scholar despite his speech impediments, which probably allowed him to survive. The Julian family was the familily from hell.
If the top photo is indeed his(which is not, but let us entertain that possibility,)
it looks like somebody squeezed his head into a square box, and pressed hard. His face is flattened, top of his head, and the side of his head too. His jaw looks more square as well.
Oh, great, not only an unstable dictator, but a STOOPID, unstable dictator.
