A message from history to my fellow journalists on the British state’s persecution of Asa Winstanley

JONATHAN COOK

First they came for Julian Assange
And I did not speak out
Because I was not Julian Assange
Then they came for the Palestinian journalists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Palestinian journalist
Then they came for the independent journalists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not an independent journalist
Then they came for the investigative journalists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not an investigative journalist
They never came for me
And I never spoke out
Because I was not a real journalist
