Keir Starmer received a round of applause for condemning individuals who deface Chinese restaurants with racist graffiti and advocate for deporting fellow residents. The Prime Minister denounced such acts as racism, emphasizing that everyone, regardless of skin color, can be English or British.
In a poignant statement, Starmer criticized racists targeting long-standing residents contributing to British society in schools, hospitals, and businesses, labeling them as hindering national progress. He sternly warned those suggesting deportation, asserting a firm opposition.
During his address, Starmer reclaimed British flags from the Reform Party and vowed to uphold their significance. Flags representing Wales, England, Scotland, and the Union Jack were distributed at the Labour party conference in Liverpool, with Starmer urging supporters to display them as symbols of unity. He criticized Nigel Farage for his alleged lack of belief in Britain.
Encouraging flag-waving as a symbol of unity and opposition to racism, Starmer envisioned a future of respect and dignity for all in a new Britain. He emphasized the inclusive ownership of flags and a collective commitment to never relinquishing them.
Additionally, Starmer condemned violent protests as illegitimate and characterized such actions as thuggery, drawing a moral line against incitement of fear and division in society. He emphasized the importance of distinguishing between legitimate concerns about immigration and destructive behavior.
