'A sick individual': Douglas Murray hits back at Alastair Campbell

Author Douglas Murray has hit back at Alastair Campbell after the former UK Labour press secretary called for him to be investigated by the police.

It comes as last week the British government issued a warning on social media platform X saying; “content that incites violence or hatred isn’t just harmful—it can be illegal.”

On Friday Mr Campbell took to X posting a clip of Mr Murray with the caption: “Think @metpoliceuk might want to take a look at this book plug.”

Mr Murry joined Sky News host Rita Panahi to discuss Mr Campbell's “breakdown” over remarks made in ‘The Strange Death of Europe’ and how they foretold the current violence in the UK.

“This was the fact that I've used my eyes, in recent decades and I've also used my pen, and I have described what has happened to my country of birth, Great Britain and the continent of Europe, and indeed the wider developed world and the challenges that come through illegal and legal mass migration,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi.

“I never wanted to be proved right on this.

“It's interesting Alastair Campbell should have been one of the ones to try to start this pile on.

“Campbell was part of the Labour government that in the late 90s and early 2000, massively ramped up illegal and legal migration into the UK. He's one of the architects of this problem.

“He's a totally sick individual on every possible level. I make no apology for pointing out the terrible things that he and his friends did to my country.”
