Pure Gold ... Classic Starkey ... !

I listen to David Starkey whilst doing my housework. Great way to become educated 😊 Thank you 🌸

Nice hearing our language spoken true isn’t it. The urbanisation of it makes me vomit in my soul daily. Init bro

It's incredible to think they cancelled Mr Starkey. It's almost the only evidence you need. When he speaks, one learns - and it is a joy so to do. Let us hope that future Britain is capable of producing another David Starkey.

... and not at all surprising. The west has lost its way so badly that the merest scrutiny of factual information is considered a threat to the nonsensical propaganda of the so called elites but there is nothing elitist about the self serving entities that bristle with an arrogance that is borne out of ignorance and saddled with fragile insecurity.

[@angusmcangus7914]

Excellent, David. Thank you. Another one for the video library.

[@michaelolver7684]

I listen to a hell of a lot of content. David's is by far the most engaging and educational. Probably the most important voice for true English conservatives.

David is an amazing orator and writer, but most importantly and more rarely: an incredible teacher. I recall an amazing channel 4 program almost a couple of decades ago now where David was engaging otherwise uninterested inner city, London students in history, and how engaged they were by his masterful Socratic method. David showed a warm and personable side also in that program which sometimes does not come across in talks like this. I am also incredibly engaged every time I listen to this marvellous and erudite man.

I agree- Cambridge University’s loss is our gain. But I do wish he’d read the Bible a bit more as it’s had such a deep influence on our social history for centuries- much more than Shakespeare or the classics or any other source of knowledge.

He also got into an argument with a student and called him a silly little fattie who could barely walk! 🤣🤣🤣 It was funny though.

[@ulmusminor1111]

Dr. David Starkey speaking with loving authority, thank you, Sir, for educating us, I am most grateful that you even bother, but you care about your chosen subject, I pray God go with you ❤

[@christopherdew2355]

A complete political history in 56 minutes and 4 seconds! A 'tour de force' is an understatement. Thank you DS - my undergraduate textbooks were also Teutonic-American.

Dr. David Starkey is a walking History professor, no auto q needed just brilliant. 😊

I think you'll find that most history professors do walk.

Well done.

If only he did that. Instead he has an agenda and uses the technique of observational selection (enumeration of favourable circumstances) in order to make his polemical points.

[@bestcomsystems4458]

@@merlin8514 The agenda is that he has a set of opinions - fair enough. But what's not fair enough is that he presents opinions as historical facts. Serious historians and other academics try to get at the truth, not just make stuff up.

When a working Man pays more TAX than a millionaire something is WRONG 🎉🎉🎉

@@evolassunglasses4673 WOW well said. The working man works 9 to 5 5 days a week on average, Most working men will not go to a tax accountant to work out how he can pay less tax and help his parents, siblings and himself by putting money into pensions or how to reclaim money for equipment he needs for his job, The working man just goes to work, grumbles when 1/4 of his gross pay goes to the government to pay for the NHS, Education of their off springs, prop up local councils and pay for infrastructure, i bet you have never written to HMRC asking them to check your tax code,

They have more tax avoidance, tax dodging tricks than people know. The wealthiest people I know have more criminal ways of avoiding paying for anything, especially tax. In regards to the percentage they pay, it's about proportionality.

[@sb8163]

He could have saved himself the effort of 'Drawing Historical Parallels' re. human rights if he read the writings of an MP who predicted the human rights issues over 200 years ago when the concept was "now in the heat of its first ferment" Two minutes in and he's on about 1930s Germany! The usual preoccupation of an English historian. The history is recorded differently depending on the viewpoint of the writer, the parliamentary debates for the year of 1829 are not available to read on the Hansard site: but never mind our own dirty laundry when we can keep talking about the German's!

[@stuartanderson852]

I disagree that the Conservative Party 'lost" the February 1974 General Election. Because of our electoral system, the Tories got more votes than Labour but ended up with 4 fewer MPs. A few people voted Labour in that election because they promised to give the British people a referendum on our continued membership of the Common Market.

[@philipbrooks402]

Although in the 1951 GE the opposite had happened, Labour had more votes but Churchill had won more seats and got to form the government.

[@colinpowell4788]

I remember listening to a discussion on BBC R3 or R4 in which a English speaking French politician said that he envisioned the Uniting of Europe as a step towards making Roman Catholicism the universal religion of Europe. I do not know the politicians name. However, I think I he is currently in the possess of being made a Saint for his efforts by the Roman Catholic Church. Can anyone provide the details?

[@rat_king-]

Hey my car attempts to start many times, before it actually gets going.

[@vesterwolf]

He is wrong about labour losing to the Conservatives in 2029 is for the birds. Unlike the 1970's the scale of the betrayal of the people by the conservatives is not the same. There was no Reform party. The only way forward would be a pact between reform and the conservative, the trouble with that is a matter of trust, after the conservative betrayal of the brexit party on Brexit. This will mean that the right is split giving Labour another majority.

Its a good job britain n scotland unified, the inventions they created together changed the entire world, id like to hear davids view on wales being part of england till the king created a principality n called it wales, how did it become a separate country? England was already small, why carve it up further? I can understand the romans putting the barriers in but not our own king, imo.

Well done Starkey 👊 when this does not work more tax rises, more borrowing and more QE money printing will come…to save your ‘wonderful’ public service….then you will run out of other peoples money 🤷‍♂️

Was the lecture given in Germany?🤔

[@craigbuckley1758]

Starkey's insistence that the English must lose their identity and adapt to the endless influx of a global underclass is asinine to me. England is a nation, their is no country of Britain. To whom does England belong? To whom does Nigeria belong? These are simple questions, ignore the answers at your peril.

[@PacificusVentus]

Where is this?

[@petersmith5915]

catholicism took us out of the tribal age into the medieval era, but we would still be there if not for the reformation, thats why henry the 8th was our greatest king, whether he knew it or not, he was the catalyst for the modern world, imo.

[@Topcat634]

So you teased about Germany about academic life after The Second World War, then. Well, Anne Boleyn was executed. I say Henry VIII was like scruffy men as they are today. You must have been dehydrated at 13:12. England really does need to close it’s back door to that risk of Scotland. In America until the 1660’s I would have compelled to change my name, indeed. So I would choose idiotic things such as parliament.
