We were complacent about what happened in Kashmir, the boundaries weren&#8217;t published until two days after independence. Bad story for us, the consequences are still there. Afghanistan &#8211; where we played a less than glorious role over a century and a half .. The odd lines for Iraq&#8217;s borders were drawn by Brits. The Balfour declaration and the contradictory assurances which were being given to Palestinians in private at the same time as they were being given to Israelis &#8211; again, an interesting history for us but not an entirely honourable one.<\/p><cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RAv71VbdkBc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jack Straw<\/a>, New Statesman, November 18, 2002<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newstatesman.com\/node\/156641\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.newstatesman.com\/node\/156641<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>There is something exceedingly ridiculous in the composition of monarchy; it first excludes a man from the means of information, yet empowers him to act in cases where the highest judgment is required.
