A former British soldier who is reportedly fighting Islamic State in Iraq says his government's response to the militants is "shameful".
Scotsman Alan Duncan says the people of the Middle East feel "abandoned" by the West.
Mr Duncan was speaking to BBC Radio from Duhok in Northern Iraq, where the BBC said he is training an Assyrian Christian group alongside the Kurdish Peshmerga.
In an interview, he said he was there for "humanity and the Kurdish people" and that he was helping fight "the most disgusting people since the Nazis".
"I wear the Union Jack on my uniform. The others wear their flags and what have you," he said.
"It actually lifts the spirit of the people. They kind of feel that, just seeing us foreigners here, it lifts their spirits. They feel that they have been abandoned by the West.
"The British Government disgusts me. I'm a massive Tory, yet my government is shameful. It's their lack of action in this country. Their lack of action to help Kurdish people."
