Dr David Starkey has said the Britain he grew up with has been “destroyed” by Tony Blair and New Labour.
Joining Steven Edginton on GBN America to discuss the former Labour PM’s legacy, the award-winning historian claimed elements of Blair’s tenure still linger today.
One example mentioned by Starkey was migration, which surged under Blair.
He added that back in his day, Britons had high levels of public trust and low crime.
“The Britain I grew up in was the most peaceful, the most gentle, homogenous society that has ever existed”, he said.
“We did not need identity cards. We had extraordinarily low levels of crime. We had such high levels of public trust.
“That has been destroyed. It has been deliberately destroyed by Tony Blair and New Labour with this absurd notion they were going to force us to become multi-ethnic for good.
“They were going to rub the noses of the whites and the dirt. We’ve got to understand that it is an act of such inconceivable national self-harm.”
David Starkey joined Steve Edginton on GB News GB NEWSStarkey is concerned that Britain, now being led by a Labour Government for the first time since the Blair years, may undergo another transition.
“Keir Starmer represents an intensely authoritarian streak”, he said.
“People get very confused because Starmer was a human rights lawyer. They think he’s sort of, all soft and cuddly.
“Human rights are really nice, aren’t they? But what we’ve got to remember is that the sort of human rights that Starmer represents are the rights of only minorities.
“This is the terrifying thing. Democracy has been stood on its head. Democracy means the rule of the majority.
“It’s not completely inverted to mean the protection of every exotic minority you can think of against the majority.”
