"The Windrush immigrants DID NOT build Britain" | David Starkey Talks... to Laurie Wastell

As I've argued for several years now, much of the political divide in this country can be traced all the way back to ancient Greece, and the different philosophies of two men: Plato and Aristotle. Whereas Aristotle believed that a polity's constitution should be determined by the practical effects on those who lived within it; Plato argued that societies were best organised by experts, and that these experts might even need to invent fictitious narratives in order to delude and pacify the restless population. These narratives have a name: noble lies. Britain had, for hundreds of years, an Aristotelian constitution, but the Blairite revolution made it a Platonic one, stripping power away from democratically elected politicians and placing it in the hands of experts; namely lawyers and bureaucrats. This constitutional vandalism was entrenched through the promulgation of several noble lies, which tricked people into thinking things about Britain that simply aren't true. In this interview for The Sceptic podcast with Laurie Wastell, I dissect one of the most persistent noble lies; that the migrants who came to this country from the Commonwealth after the Second World War, beginning with those aboard HMT Empire Windrush, "built Britain". This is nonsense and needs to be debunked. 00:00 - Introduction 00:39 - Noble lies: Macpherson report and Windrush 11:00 - Alastair Campbell instituted "unreality" in politics 19:00 - Quantitative easing and wokeism 27:18 - The American and French Revolutions 33:30 - Replacing the population 46:02 - Post-1945 myths Join my Members' Club on Patreon   / davidstarkeytalks   or SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/david-s... & follow me on Twitter (X) https://x.com/DrDStarkeyCBE If you upload any David Starkey Talks content, please include a link to this video in the video description and as a pinned comment. #Davidstarkey #Davidstarkeytalks #History
