Historian David Starkey has reportedly slammed Amal Clooney during a debate about Prime Minister David Cameron’s plans to scrap the European Human Rights Act.
According to Mail Online, the historian accused Amal of promoting human rights “beyond the purpose proposed by Winston Churchill after the Second World War.”
Dr. Starkey is yet to respond to request for clarification.
The article quotes Dr. Starkey as saying that we are living in a society where people are too concerned about their human rights and do not think enough about their duties.
He apparently went on to say that the balance will only be restored if “the Amal Clooneys and Shami Chakrabartis would shut up”.
Amal is a barrister specialising in human rights and international law.
