Navigating Economic Crisis and Britain's Unique Identity

Historian David Starkey returns to The Peter McCormack Show for a blistering historical analysis of why modern Britain is broken. Starkey unleashes on the 'neophilia' of the Blair years, the catastrophe of incorporating universal human rights into English law, and the failure of modern conservatism to defend the nation's unique heritage.

Drawing a line from the French Revolution to today, he contrasts the organic, bottom-up wisdom of English individualism with the top-down, bureaucratic model of continental Europe. This is a lesson in the ideas that underpin true liberty, the importance of historical continuity, and the urgent need to recover the values that once made Britain exceptional.
