Truth to Power with Lowkey | Matt Kennard | Keir Starmer, UK Secret Services & Freedom of the Press

This week Lowkey speaks to Matt Kennard, Head of Investigations for Declassified UK about freedom of the press in the UK and if mainstream media has been co-opted to serve the establishment. They discuss Sir Keir Starmer’s connections to the UK's secret services and his role in the prosecution of Julian Assange. Plus tax havens, Yemen and arms sales; is Britain really a force for good in the world?

    You people are the best, a light on the dark There was that moment whrn Assange was moved to Bellmarsh, I use to pass very close to Bellmarch entry. There was a man in a tend on the side of the traffic lights. With a huge post with Assange name. I used not to understand what was in task, or didnt had the big picture.

    At 9 minutes in kennard says smashing up of media hardware would be expected in China. What story is he referring to here? China understandably has a tight control over its media operations thanks to the US and the imperial project. Would be good if declassified could relay more accurate stories about china. Otherwise this is a useful and informative interview.

    That tells you about the limit of British citizen's freedom and feeling for it. I never heard British criticise it's government or system with no attacking someone else's. It's characteristic to all English speaking, English influenced countries. One could ask himself if it's coming from simple genetic misanthropy or fear of persecution, so uses it as an out of prison card. No wonder that national hero of lefties is George Orwell, the guy who traded 135 souls for the wealth.
