I should have added - for those not familiar with the UK MSM - that the Daily Mail is a pretty scurrilous rag. Right wing, jumps on every populist bandwagon imaginable - especially when allegedly 'bogus asylum-seekers', immigration and 'Muslim terrorism' are involved. It is forever cheerleading the 'Our brave boys in Iraq/Afganistan' fetish too. IOW it has absolutely no issue with this country's warmongering and the establishment overarching narrative of the UK's heroic place in the world. Nonetheless it's daily circulation figures are around 2.5 million so that story will get exposure and may well run.
Here's a link to the video mentioned - 'Ripple Effect' - 57 minutes. It's also available in several shorter episodes at the same site.

".....there is something far worse than Nazism, and that is the hubris of the Anglo-American fraternities, whose routine is to incite indigenous monsters to war, and steer the pandemonium to further their imperial aims"
