Starkey Claims New Labour Created Alien Legal System Destroying Britain
Triggernometry
The British State Hates its Own People - Dr David Starkey
What was said
"What you do is New Labour legislates its prejudices into an alternative legal system. You introduce absolutely foreign principles. A foreign body of law, an alien body of law. And that's what's happened. The law's turned against itself, and it was done with noble motives."
Starkey argued that Tony Blair's government embedded human rights law and the Equality Act into Britain's legal framework, creating what he calls an 'autoimmune disease' in the state. He cited Lord Bingham explicitly stating human rights law is 'anti-democratic' and 'counter-majoritarian,' designed to protect minorities over public safety. Starkey claimed this legal revolution makes it structurally impossible for any government to govern effectively or deport illegal immigrants.
