In a recent address, Keir Starmer received a round of applause for condemning individuals who deface Chinese restaurants with racist graffiti and advocate for the deportation of neighbors. The Prime Minister labeled such actions as racism and emphasized that implying people cannot be English or British due to their skin color is unacceptable.
Starmer strongly criticized racists who target long-time residents of Britain, including those who contribute to the education system, healthcare facilities, and businesses, labeling them as hindrances to national progress. He firmly stated that any calls for their deportation would be vehemently opposed.
During his speech, Starmer made a point to reclaim British flags from the Reform party and asserted that they will not be relinquished. Flags representing Wales, England, the Union Jack, and Scotland were distributed to attendees at the Labour party conference in Liverpool, with Starmer urging everyone to wave them as a symbol of unity. He also took a swipe at Nigel Farage, accusing him of not having faith in Britain.
Encouraging the display of flags as a unifying symbol, Starmer highlighted the importance of embracing diversity and standing against racism for the future of the country. He emphasized that the flags belong to all citizens and should be flown proudly.
Furthermore, Starmer denounced violent actions such as throwing bricks as unacceptable behavior, labeling it as thuggery. He warned against sowing fear and discord in society under the guise of legitimate concerns about immigration, emphasizing the need to draw a clear moral line against such actions.
