Ex-UK amb. to Libya - people don’t regret Libya intervention, they regret distortion of the revolution (E804)

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to the UK’s former ambassador to Libya Peter Millett where Afshin Rattansi challenges him on the points Moussa Ibrahim brought in his interview a short while ago. Millett discusses why this was not a solely NATO intervention, whether the West regrets the Libya intervention following the last 8 years of chaos, Gaddafi’s alleged misuse of oil wealth and poverty in the country leading up to the revolution, he answers allegations of NATO backing dictators and more!

Next we speak to #MeToo whistleblower and actress Rose McGowan to uncover this week’s buried stories including Extinction Rebellion protests in London, the sentencing of Catalunya’s independence leaders in Spain, the persecution of Chelsea Manning and more! Finally we speak to Margy Kinmonth, the director of Revolution: New Art for a New World, discussing the role of art in our understanding of the October Revolution led by Lenin in 1917, the demise of many famous Russian artists after the rise of Joseph Stalin, the opportunities granted to female artists following the revolution and more!
