Just the best speech ever David it completely put where the Tory Party have gone wrong. I just hope and pray that they. Ab get it right before it really is too late. I am 82 years old Nd would love to go to my grave knowing they have come back on track. I point out I am not planning to leave but then it's up to the dear Lord when I depart this life.

@@TrishaRodgers-ng2xc The only slight weakness of David's view on Conservatism is his Council Estate upbringing. He quotes Sir Keith Joseph 2nd Bt. but why a wealthy gentleman and not someone from a Council Estate, you know? David is you know one of the Jackdaws who is too inspired by the Ravens to whom he does not belong. He therefore appears to be a snob.

So why spoil himself - for example only to be condemned for ‘vile and racist’ remarks about Rishi Sunak? There is a basic conundrum here though. How can we be multicultural and all the same culture at the same time? I know there's a couple of ways it's resolved but it's always awkward and contradictory. Has Britain ever been a mono-culture? What even is British culture? Do the middle class, semi-rural home counties, vicar of Dibley set share a culture with working class Scousers? Do farmers in Devon or Cornwall share a culture with London urbanites? Do Goth Rockers from Manchester share a culture with Millwall football supporters? British culture is an amalgam of all that stuff, but it contains unique subcultures and we don't demand conformity from those subcultures. We are free to pick and choose which bits of the broader culture we like, and that's a good thing. Notice I didn't mention Wales.

Good evening David; I have to say that, pretty much every time I sit and listen to your weekly commentaries, it does my old heart good. We are of an age, you and I, and I must confess that there was a time when I started to question myself. Am I the last person to retain real values? Honour, honesty, dignity, good manners, law and order, morals and ethics; all seem to have fallen by the wayside in the last 50 years. Thank you for restoring my faith; not just in the aforementioned standards, but in the true meaning of Conservatism. Long may you persevere sir.

I think it's just down to his delivery. He makes a lot of sense sometimes but he just says it in such a condescending way. He has a tendency to be a bit of a hack at times and acts in an inflammatory manner, especially when dealing with subjects outside of his area. Being gay in an era of heteronormativity made him the man he is. How was your heart in those days? Starkey is his own man with his own thoughts and I personally might not agree with everything he says but he communicates well and speaks well and knows his stuff well enough. His documentaries are great because they are not dumbed down like so many documentaries nowadays. He's cantankerous which is apparently a mortal sin these days but he's at least interesting and learned. Anyway, the internet is full of people who can't wait to be hateful to someone or about someone. On his case it's because he's a twat. A knowledgeable twat, but still a twat.

@nickelmouse451 Ай бұрын

I think many of us on the side emphasising culture, attitudes, and (to some extent) values don't think you can achieve a continuity of these things without some degree of ethnic continuity. But it's more a secondary consequence of human nature than it is a product of the primary importance of ethnicity. It's not that it's impossible to find people with totally (e.g.) English culture who aren't white or Anglo-Saxon (there are tons of examples in my personal life). Rather, it's that people are, on aggregate, tribal. So, when you import tons of people into a culture they don't integrate. A small number is fine, as long as the culture is self-confident, and so is willing to exact a social penalty on newcomers who do not integrate.

@phyllisbiram5163 Ай бұрын

Reform has done very little to justify the label of being a patriotic or conservative party. They reject National Service, they're radical free-marketeers, they oppose any protectionist measures to safeguard domestic industries. Farage began his campaign in MacDonalds! What kind of patriot would begin campaigning in a multinational American chain? He is a populist who, instead of encouraging people to prefer local businesses, is willing to pander on their consumerist impulses and attack immigrants because that is what people want to hea. But not what they must. This is also evident in Reform policies to change the electoral system to proportional representation, risking the future stability of UK governments and scrapping the centuries' long tradition of local MPs making Parliament even more impersonal and unaccountable to the communities that vote for them. Reform want to abolish the House of Lords, the only institution that is not influenced by electability and thus can offer more impartial and honest criticism, including the interventions of the Church of England Bishops which I value greatly, unlike most people. Also Reform's weird obsession with combating wokeness is the sole credential that could describe the party as remotely conservative, but RFK Jr in the US is also anti-woke. Numerous figures in classical liberal and Old Left circles have railed against political correctness and postmodernist preachiness and virtue signaling. It is common sense to oppose the woke mob not necessarily conservative. The Culture Wars are a big distraction from the real problems the country is facing. Farage cannot even define British values, employing cliches like liberty, democracy and cricket, that is for the most part, the exact same response an American, a French and a German would say. British values though are deeper than that. British values also include Stoicism, frugality, duty, honour, respect, the rule of law, responsibility, tradition and (even though I'm atheist High Church like Starkers) Protestant ethics (and rugby).

It certainly won't be,and there is more that a smattering of biblical prophecy attached to this, there is certainly an inbalance of good/evil in this world on a scale never before seen, but many people are unaware of how deep this goes, either because they dont look or dont care. Evil flourishes in those conditions. When the extent of it is revealed and those who participate in it, it will raise shock and revulsion in some, total disbelief in others and in some the usual apathy. However there will be no fence sitters this time, this is sheep and goats time, wheat and chaff. People will have to pledge to one side or the other, those with the ability to see into mens hearts will know the truth. The evil will be exposed, and those who participate. Nuremberg 2 will take place, Satans world is coming down, and is starting to crumble now, those involved see it within weeks the world will see it.

I'm English and have been learning Welsh since I was 15. As Welsh is such an historic and important language for British cultural preservation, I see it as part of my duty to help keep this language alive somehow and appreciate it for its own cultural uniqueness. What's more, even though English culture is largely derived from the Anglo-Saxons who went on to develop the English language, I think that it is often ignored that even English people are still descended in large part from the pre-Anglo-Saxon Brittonic people who developed the Welsh, Breton and Cornish languages. As such, I feel as though it is hypocritical of English people to sideline and belittle Wales and Welsh culture, because they themselves are close cousins of Welsh people. However, despite this, I'm English and can appreciate how Welsh people might feel uneasy about English people appropriating their culture, as so much of Welsh identity revolves around not being English. What are your thoughts on this as speakers of the Welsh language or as Welsh people more generally?

No ‘BAU’? ‘Most’ ‘economic thinking’ is ‘short run’ and ‘redundant’? ‘It’ ignores the ‘supply side’? ‘Growth’ {and ‘civilisation’} depends upon ‘cheap’ F.F. - those so called ‘halcyon days’ are ‘over’. ? “The crisis now unfolding, however, is entirely different to the 1970s in one crucial respect… The 1970s crisis was largely artificial. When all is said and done, the oil shock was nothing more than the emerging OPEC cartel asserting its newfound leverage following the peak of continental US oil production. There was no shortage of oil any more than the three-day-week had been caused by coal shortages. What they did, perhaps, give us a glimpse of was what might happen in the event that our economies depleted our fossil fuel reserves before we had found a more versatile and energy-dense alternative. . . . And this is why the crisis we are beginning to experience will make the 1970s look like a golden age of peace and tranquility. . . . The sad reality though, is that our leaders - at least within the western empire - have bought into a vision of the future which cannot work without some new and yet-to-be-discovered high-density energy source (which rules out all of the so-called green technologies whose main purpose is to concentrate relatively weak and diffuse energy sources). . . . Even as we struggle to reimagine the 1970s in an attempt to understand the current situation, the only people on Earth today who can even begin to imagine the economic and social horrors that await western populations are the survivors of the 1980s famine in Ethiopia, the hyperinflation in 1990s Zimbabwe, or, ironically, the Russians who survived the collapse of the Soviet Union.” ? No ‘green’ solution? “The problem with both visions of the future - and the spectrum of views between them - is a fundamental misunderstanding of the collapse which has begun to break over us. This is that each assumes the continuation of that part of industrial civilisation which is required to make their version of the future possible, even as the coming collapse wipes away ALL aspects of industrial civilisation. Most obviously, nobody had developed even an embryonic version of the renewable energy supply chain which is the essential first step to turning non-renewable renewable energy-harvesting technologies (NRREHTs) into the envisioned “renewables” upon which the promised techno-psychotic future is to be built. That is, until it is possible to mine the minerals, build the components, manufacture and transport the technologies without the use of fossil fuels at any stage in the process, then there is no such thing as “renewable energy” in the sense which the term is currently promoted. “

He left the best until last in his marvellous talk. Courage is what has singled out Nigel Farage as the most effective U.K. politician of his generation. People respond to the fact that he is prepared to say things that few others are prepared to countenance, let alone debate. Agree with him or disagree with him, he tries to air difficult questions. If the next Conservative leader can rediscover the necessity of breaking a few eggs in making the omelette, a repeat of the calamitous last election result would be far less likely.

I consider myself British first, then incidentally Welsh-Irish. History left a lot of bad blood amongst the peoples of the Isles, but we have more in common with each other than we do with any others. If this house is stable, Britain can afford to help others, but not take them all into the limited territory. No tithing principal states that one must ruin oneself for the betterment of others.🤦

Dr Starkey wants to return our country to the way it was before Blair. But our system is such that someone can come along and do it all over again or worse. We need constitutional protections against constitutional vandalism. To make sure all such acts since 1972 can never be done again.

I have to say that I completely agree with Mr Starkey. I am not a citizen of the Uk. I do however see myself as British. Why? Because I am a citizen of Australia with a heritage emanating from various parts of England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland. I’m British because my beliefs, values and general cultural beliefs are rooted in the beliefs of these countries. We also face many of the challenges Mr Starkey is discussing and particularly a increasing issue with immigration policy and the consequences for ordinary Australians. As I have stated I believe Australia is essentially a British nation and people misunderstand that statement. Being British isn’t about race or what colour your skin is or your religious beliefs or anything else that makes us all different. Being British is simply a belief in a set of values and fundamental principles that have been created over centuries of history. I’m happy for anyone to emigrate to my country as long as they satisfy two simple criteria 1. They make a contribution to our country in a positive manner however they choose to 2. They accept the values that we live by which are British values and agree that they are values that they also can believe in and incorporate into their own lives. But I guess a statement like I have made above would probably see me viewed as a right wing activist. Actually the opposite is true and it is fundamentally what I believe in. Freedom of choice in one’s life and equality in opportunity to improve the circumstances of myself and my family in whatever manner I choose. Thank you Mr Starkey for your wise words which are not only important in your own country but in every British nation throughout the world.

With respect, I am yet to learn how Margaret Thatcher's so called free market was such a great turning point in history. Isn't that so called free market the primary reason all the industry disappeared overseas to the developing world? Surely this is a major contributing factor for so many unemployed in the west, which you aptly identified. Presently I think John Coleman's interpretation is the most accurate one. John being the author of "the committee of 300".

Because he's mostly liberal, and unlike the anecdote he often uses he doesn't realise it. He thinks "woke" and "socialism" and seemingly changes in the democratic will are liberalism, not the things that actually are from the theories and philosophies of liberalism.
