If what David Starkey says is true it seems that the British public has been very badly let down by our media for not reporting all of this. But after the shenanigans at Sky I can’t say I’m very surprised.

[@gbentley8176]

MSM go for the headlines. Thing is the whole of this scandal was obvious as to where blame lay but we in Britain no longer bothered , until now, with politics, so we did not see or listen to the evidence in front of us. Boris with his head on a platter was far more alluring.

The way you wove your subject, taking us with you as you placed each point neatly! The technique can be praised, because the substance, the subject, is served and enhanced by it. Thank you.

If by any chance this is just a bad but very vivid dream and I soon wake up back in the 70s, I'll have plenty of ideas for my first dystopian novel!

Detective Starkey strikes again with the truth - research rules !

[@robinsoncrusoejr7089]

Many thanks, David, for another RIVETING talk. It was very suspicious, years ago, when Personnel departments - which at least hinted at dealing with PEOPLE- were replaced with the thoroughly dehumanising HR / Human Resources terminology . Resources = to be mined, exploited and perhaps later discarded. The dehumanisation carried out in the last 3 decades is disturbing.

[@jebjeb1498]

Yes we underlings used to call HR 'Human Remains'.

What I love about David and his profound factual based rhetoric is his ability to dissect and also pre-empt the methods by which we are governed , his foresight is unsurpassed as is his knowledge of all things institutional , he is always a reassuring cushion and barometer of ones own leanings, I would be interested to find out who he considers his nearest protégé as he approaches old age from a personal point of view he will be sorely missed , until then i will continue to use him as my own personal sounding board, precise and entertaining as ever David well done

[@garydunn4319]

Thank you David. Really love your insight and the amount of research you must have to do for these presentations. One of my favourite commentators! Wonder when we will see any of this on the Lamestream Media?

[@charlesliddell502]

Many thanks for a brilliant excoriation, Dr. Starkey.

She is a Sinn Féin (therefore IRA) supporter and sympathiser. So she has blood on her hands by association. This person shouldn’t be anywhere near government.

[@trevorbaldwin1]

after the shenanigans with cummings and the war he declared on boris is it a wise thing to have some one , unelected, in such an intimate powerful position? how many secrets has she got that could bring down this labour government?

As a professional man, a Chartered Surveyor, I’ve had hammered into me through my career, watch out for the conflicts of interest at your peril…. But you’ve got to be professional in order to exercise professionalism.

Being rewarded for helping to get rid of Boris who I believe is head and shoulders above shifty starmer.

[@charliekane135]

I despise Starmer but Boris absolutely decimated this country's economy by not shutting this country down in March 2020 and containing a global pandemic. An island no less. He was still letting US flights in months later while we weren't allowed to leave our homes. Wasted billions on track and trace and 'pop up' hospitals. He caused thousands of small businesses to close. No not a fan

[@BOBBOBBOBBOBBOBBOB69]

Isn't much a statement in favor of Boris, I regularly have turdswith more personality than Starmar.

Jordan Peterson once said the most successful women he ever personally met was an individual who NEVER took credit for her work and allowed colleagues to take the glory ,she worked from the shadows as an indispensable asset and kept on high salaries and rewards as she was NO THREAT to her ambitious colleagues …..Sue Grey may have no formal education but clearly knows how to succeed and survive in the Westminster swamp world!

Starmer can't speak spontaneously for 5 seconds without looking at his badly written spin speeches.

He's like Joe 90 crossed with a Teasmade. His great ambition was to become a lawyer.
