The word "damn" was used as an expression of anger towards the activist idiots who are very irritatingly attempting to rewrite history. The fact he used the words so clumbsily on the day were stupid and emotionally charged, but were never intended to be derogatory to black people. He (Mr Starkey) is the first to admit that his words were very poorly chosen in that moment, and I fully agree.

I'd rather a man (or woman) spoke their real mind, rather than resort to the weasley cant and equivocation of political correctness, which has ridden across the face of mainstream politics and completely poxed it over - like a plague rat across Europe in the 14thC. Political correctness has been probably the most toxically corrosive con of our times, clapped up by an elite middle class who use it to consolidate their hold on institutional and intellectual power. It has made lies and hypocrisy into an emolument scheme for the socially ambitious and the metropolitan dinner-party castes.

Absolutely fantastic that GB news has put its money where its mouth is after the ridiculous ‘cancelation’ of Starkey. I could listen to Starkey all day

[@sojack9863]

Loving Dr. Starkey, he deserves more air time.

[@keithmorfett671]

Wonderful to hear David Starkey, more please, GB News.

[@Lockwoodbeck61]

Great to see Starkey back I have missed his wisdom.

[@robbothegreat1368]

A national treasure

[@gwmitchell1980]

I agree, and also Brazier is just the man to conduct the interview. He’s got it up stairs, along with Neil Oliver.

[@kym1160]

Agreed..Neil Oliver should have Starkey on his Saturday evening spot...it would be great conversation.

[@meloncaulime2712]

I've loved Dr.Starkeys' incisive intellect, wicked wit and ability to concisely disseminate knowledge for many years...a National Treasure indeed! Its wonderful to see him back on the airwaves again, he's been sorely missed of late. His agregious 'cancellation' by his university, academia and the woke MSM indicates how fearful they are of hearing him exercise his right to free speech and educated opinions! Thank You GBNews, let's have much more of Dr. Starkey on your shows.

[@boobrancher9941]

Glad to see the eminent historian David Starkey back on tv after his sloppy language that meant and caused no harm, he apologized and was redeemed as human beings should be.

[@shirleysmith3881]

Welcome back David Starkey its great to see you and listen to you.

[@MrVinylista]

Give Starkey his own show.

[@cheryl71000]

Dr Starkey very intelligent bloke , interesting to listen too. Even if nothing everything I agree with I like listening to him. He can run rings around the Greta's and polictians of this world. Excellent interview.

[@beaker2257]

It’s good to see David Starkey again. I don’t agree with everything he says but love the way he puts his point.

[@nascar0509]

Unfortunately we now have a generation that are the embodiment of ignorance breeds contempt.

[@seanmoran6510]

Wait until the economy goes tits up There won’t be much time for all this current cultural crap

[@JR-rv3xr]

This is an incredible case for Britain's Legacy. So well explained and I'm sharing this! The core value these gents hold as do I. Is Gratitude. Gratitude for our ancestors, which is something modern generations are increasingly lacking. I'm in my 20s and I know this.

[@astromags584]

I am in my 60's, well said young person. 👍

[@kevinyoung2148]

sorry should of been thumbs up

[@kevinyoung2148]

proud of our ancestors

[@ahahaha3505]

GB News is just the place for Starkey. A channel where the viewer appreciates him!

[@danielplantagenet8385]

I love David Starkey. He could make opening a packed of crisps sound interesting. He’s welcome to use that on the front of his next book!

[@jeekels]

Two of the best patriots I've listened to in a long time. Dr. Starkey.."she's a nut" lol

[@NPC-st7zv]

A religious nut at Hyde Park Corner.

[@elenastone6011]

It is always part of the strategy to give a face to a cause and Greta the face of climate change.

[@sidnotvicious8442]

@@elenastone6011 She has the face of a 12 year old and an intellect of a five year old.

[@thetalonsofwaynechiang]

The best thing about lockdown was not having to suffer seeing this child on the MSM every other day.

[@absoluteacw]

Remember she isn't a child now she is an adult. Greta is one of those well known figures who be regarded as such well into her twenties. Convenient.

[@alisteredmond2329]

A fantastic introduction and summing up from Colin. Great to see Dr. Starkey back on our screens.

[@zootsoot2006]

The presenter is really very good. Very measured and authoritative at the same time. Time for Britain to regain a sense of confidence for creating the modern world, having had that mantle illegitimately stolen by the US.

[@B50Stevie]

Welcome back Mr Starkey, a much missed important voice, I will echo what others say, you should have your own programme.

[@masterofnone8400]

I'm an irishman and I agree with every word🍀🇮🇪🍀

[@Peter-ov6xh]

Delighted to see Starkey back in the public eye.

[@bobbyuk5866]

Give Starkey a weekly history hour. Sunday would be a great day!

[@TomNoles007]

Brilliant suggestion, I would definitely watch that! 👍

[@kym1160]

Spot on 👍

[@zegrze]

A most excellent idea.

[@64jkn]

Absolutely totally agree with you love from Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪👏👏

[@antitheist2000]

With Neil Oliver 😊

[@brianwaite6139]

Brilliantly and accurately put. Who, I wonder, is putting the words in her mouth? there is no doubt she is being exploited.

[@garrygraham7901]

I am a science teacher in Australia, and I will be showing this video to my students to awaken them to the reality of the marvel that is Britain, including its founding of our own (once) lucky country. It is the perfect parody for the classic Python line, "what have the Romans ever done for us?" Thank you, Britain, especially for cricket, at which we so enjoy beating the poms for Australia's greatest invention, the Ashes.

[@MeTheRob]

So good to see David Starkey again. I feared his cancellation was permanent.

[@luisluis5306]

Give David Starkey his own show on GB news.

[@breachedgaming6863]

This is just beautiful! Finally a British news channel that defends our great history and highlights the fantastic things we have contributed to the world! 👏🏻

[@philclennell]

Bravo GB News, never in a million years would we hear this critique rooted in common sense from the BBC.

[@lolly9080]

Crazy, I thought about Starkey and what he was up to these days, yesterday 🤔 as in hope he gets back on our tv screens well done GB 🇬🇧

[@Towerwatson525]

Sir David starkey, the silent majorities voice of reason.

[@anniegetchergun]

David Starkey is an amazing man, almost destroyed by the ridiculous woke idiots in this country. Please, please, can we have more of him on GB news.

[@danielw5850]

A terrific interview: a 1st-Rank Historian, interviewed by an informed journalist- wonderful!

[@brianmurphy1757]

I think I would be great to watch an hour of Neil Oliver and Dr David Starkey talking history and how it equates to the modern world

[@kym1160]

2 hrs for me...I can't wait...its got to happen 👏

[@margaretingleby679]

Great to see professor David Starkey the voice of reason back in the media . Just when the revisionists thought actual history was deleted it re_emerges .

[@theshittybeatles5768]

And coal saved alot and improved the lives of millions, with low cost heat and energy in a time when life was hard short and cheap. A simple "Thank you" would do Greta.

[@ep8029]

Good to hear someone speaking up for our great country. Well said.
