▪️@markcurtis30: “My view, looking at declassified files and evidence of UK foreign policy going back 70 years, is that Britain is a serial violator of human rights, a systematic supporter of repressive regimes. This has largely been kept from the British public by the media.”
▪️@markcurtis30: “It is a British war in #Yemen. The British are supplying the weapons, the aircraft, training the pilots, storing and issuing the weapons, and maintaining the Saudi warplanes. We have a real problem in the way that the media is failing to hold leaders to account”
▪️British historian @markcurtis30: “The @Guardian has probably over the last 2 years been the most hostile British media outlet towards Julian Assange & @Wikileaks. It seems to be running a desperate campaign to try and link Assange to Russia and Trump in any way possible.”
▪️@markcurtis30: “People around the world who have been on the receiving end of British policy know more about what the British have done than British citizens. That is the fault of our culture, academic, media & political system which has covered up Britain’s role in the world.”
▪️@markcurtis30: “I wrote an article describing Britain as a ‘rogue state’ - not in some sensational way, but in a factual way: the violations of international law in Iraq, Libya, Israel, Syria, Yemen, Somalia... Britain is a vialotor of the international rules-based system.”
▪️@markcurtis30: “I’m not a supporter of the Labour Party but to call @JeremyCorbyn antisemitic is absolutely crazy. He is, almost uniquely in British Parliament, anti-imperialist, anti-racist. The establishment ridicule him because they don’t like what he might do once in power”
