Starmer praised by Hungarian far-right for racist speech

Orbán government thinks ‘rivers of blood’ speech is just dandy

Keir Starmer has been praised by Hungary’s far-right government for his racism-inciting speech against refugees and asylum seekers, which borrowed from and has rightly been condemned for mimicking, the 1968 ‘rivers of blood’ speech of notorious racist Enoch Powell.

Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán’s regime is overtly racist, deeply antisemitic and enthusiastically pro-Israel – anything but an unusual combination among Zionists, who admire Israeli extremists’ commitment to ethnocracy – and Orbán himself has been described by US right-wing extremist Steve Bannon as ‘Trump before Trump’. Orbán’s State Secretary Zoltán Kovács, like his boss, has argued against the so-called ‘mixing of races’, horrifying Holocaust survivors with ‘pure Nazi’ comments.

But they are both fans of Keir Starmer’s speech, with Kovács saying that:

We see Sir Keir Starmer saying the exact sentences and words actually we’ve been talking about for the past ten years.

It seems racist Zionists love Keir Starmer, but most of the UK despises him.
