David Starkey may have lost nearly all of his official honours, but he still possesses one great honour that his cancellers will never be able to take away from him, and that is the greatest honour of all - the respect, admiration and ears of the British public!
David you are a natural public speaker to the point that you can even get a grizzled veteran to sit and learn about topics he formerly had absolutely no interest in, sterling work indeed! 😁
Absolutely love David. Truly the best historian this Union has produced in a long time. Educating us on the institutions that define and identify us all 🇬🇧
No-one's denying he is a great historian, but there's now an aspect of him revealing opinions that are outside his field. That he should appear on The Nigel Farage Show in the US speaks volumes.
@@2eleven48 the fact he appeared on a talk show with a very popular former MEP speaks volumes? In case you didn’t hear Nigel (who I have issues with) is the most views news slot in the uk. So why was it so bad for him to go on it ?
@@unoriginal_username1 ...well, obviously everything. A gurning failure such as Farage and a great historian who fucked up, not with his just one word, but other questionable views.
@@2eleven48 I don’t see how you can call one of the most influential politicians of the modern British scene a failure. He basically single handedly pressed the Tory party into a referendum and then campaigned more then anyone to win that referendum changing British politics dramatically, both internationally and at home. Again I’m not even a bug fan of his but to call him a failure is just partisan hatred
I have subscribed before watching the video. I know that David Starkey is one of the most articulate, gifted and knowledgeable historians and thinkers of modern society. Glad to see David Starkey here on TH-cam. He must guard against the extreme leftists seeking any excuse to hide the facts and history of Britain.
Excellent, carefully crafted teaching from an enthusiast who tells the truth in the biggest arenas of culture. No wonder he is hated and feared by all the right people. We love David, we only can dream of having his enemies.
Prof. Starkey, thank you so much for your new channel. My education was minimal, as I attended a dreadful inner city secondary modern in the 60's. The history we did was all about the Industrial Revolution, but I love all British medieval history and it is a real joy to see you back again.
I have listened to Dr. Starkey reading his book “Monarchy” at least six times. I don’t know how he does it, but whatever he talks about is fascinating.
My favourite historian. Loving all your videos so far. The fact the BBC gives airtime to a fool like Mary Beard and not Starkey says it all about the ghastly state of the BBC.
I grew up watching the Monarchy series on TV and it started my love of history. I now study History at University and have never looked back. Thank you David for inspiring me to study this subject.
David Starkey effortlessly shows us what it is like to sit in on a Cambridge tutorial. Lectures give the FACTS, but tutorials blaze with INSIGHTS allowing pennies to drop and eyes to open wide (as opposed to closing during formal lectures)............... and he is a brilliant exponent of this Cambridge phenomenon. I can imagine Sir John Betjeman revising his poetry now that David has burst back on the scene like a Phoenix from the ashes of wokedom..... because insight breeds inspiration when David performs “What would you be, You hidden messages in the sky, Without David Starkey To recognise you by ?”
My interest in history has been re-kindled by this lovely man. We are all entitled to our views, and we are all allowed to miss-speak sometimes. That does not detract from the undoubted talent David has as a teacher. Thank God for the internet - he is not lost to us.
I learned about your new channel in a viewer comment on Dr. Kat’s excellent YT channel “Reading the Past”, so I did a YT search and found your new channel. Wonderful, I always learn so much from you and love your erudition and extremely articulate speaking style. We Americans are so used to having everything dumbed down for us, it’s annoying. I want to hear and watch the best! That’s why I’m here.
Welcome back David. It was lovely to meet you last week in Folkestone. I'm so pleased you are doing this. I'm looking forward to a cosy Winter listening to your fascinating history talks. We have no mainstream TV in this house any more. We can't handle the fake news, banal "reality" TV and tired "celebrities". This is fantastic. Thankyou!
I learned about you on Talking Pints with Nigel Farage twice in fact the last time Nigel had a town hall on immigration. I just love your speaking voice.
You are the reason I took History and Politics as an undergraduate! It was your way of telling historical stories that influenced my own practice in the classroom.
@@BassandoForte it's the dam leftist that are going to eat themselves and we will enjoy watching each and every one of them being cast down and trodden on by those who were their comrades. Meanwhile we get to enjoy watching their inevitable fall as we rise leaving the cult of the woke behind to their deserved fate. Enjoy your SJW crusade!
They "cancelled" him for a slightly imperfectly expressed comment which could be easily misinterpreted, and so, of course they put the worst possible spin on it, denouncing him and excommunicating him. Now he's back in full flow and I predict a meteoric rise in the number of subscribers - this channel is destined to grow huge!
Outstanding Dr David (As always) - thanks. You got me interested in the Tudors ! You contributed to giving me the strength to come out as a gay man in a working class homophobic environment in the midlands. I heard you on question time years back and it motivated me to be brave. I should take as a badge of honour what Cambridge did to you. If their cancelling you Dr then your doing something right. They are woke yet not awake and a bigger bunch of tragic cases could not be found. You don’t need and have never needed their approval. Keep being you sir and I hope you realise just how much your passion for history rubs off on people. Those lofty academics at Cantab can only dream of reaching, lighting and exciting the love of history in as many people as you do . I’m so pleased to see this channel up and running and wish you every good wish for the future
I have read a lot of David Starkey books , I really loved his monarchy series and I have always enjoyed watching and listening to his views and opinions when he gave lectures or interviews , David you have been missed ! so it’s fantastic to once again be able to listen to, learn from and appreciate the way he shares his wealth of knowledge, ideas and opinions with us. In my opinion David is a national treasure and his contribution in terms of how he has been inspiring the minds of so many for so long cannot be under underestimated, so I’m glad to see that despite cancel cultures bests efforts, he’s back doing what he does best.
I love the way that you pick up on what would seem small things in history that gives us huge insight into someone's character. On another note, modern monarchy since around the '80s, comes off to me like a publicly funded celebrity reality show.
David wonderful to see real History being taught on your channel. I think you need to build a young movement of people to carry on your great work for the children of the future before the schools & universities wipe out our great History.
I subscribed before even watching this full-length video - the first I have viewed. How pleased am I that I did subscribe! Really, really engaging. Thank you!
Hahaha - it's wonderful - look how quickly people are subscribing to David Starkey Talks! Brilliant - no wonder - Dr Starkey is our National touchstone for real & accurate British people's history & the history of Western world!
Very rarely these days will I sit entertained and fully engaged for 40 minutes, Dr David Starkey CBE manages to cast the required spell to enable this to happen.....
Thanks so much for getting on YT. I’m no youngster, so getting into TH-cam didn’t come naturally to me, but now I watch it constantly. I’m not sure why you were cancelled, but I suppose you said something that could be taken as “not politically correct”. I’m sick of everything having to be PC, the past isn’t, why should we pretend it was? I hope you feel you can say whatever you want in this forum, we’re with you, in the search for truth!
He was asked whether the North Atlantic slave trade was genocide. Starkey answered that if it had been genocide "there wouldn't be so many damned blacks in Africa or in Britain". I had my head in my hands when he said it. It was one small misspoken word that caused so much damage to his reputation.
@@DS9TREK only to the hyper sensitive was this any big deal. It is unfortunate that the adults in the room didn't have the constitution and fortitude to step forward and say anything. Now those same "adults" will find that thread holding the sword up look a dam sight thinner now that the new rules apply to them.
I'm glad you're back David. You don't need official accolades to be a good historian when you're a great historian anyway. Looking forward to listening to more of these!
A wonderful part of British history by a well knowledgable historian. I had to hear it until the end and will now wake up late. Good job well done, David.
What a joy and education to have Dr Starkey with his own channel. Thank you so much. I throughly enjoyed watching and listening to your video. I look forward to many more.
David, you are a national treasure. Many thanks for your books and TV programmes which always fascinate. I'm so glad you have found another platform which suits your eloquent style so well.
I have so missed David Starkey talking and explaining history, this is great stuff long may it Last :-) it must be most difficult to lecture in this way with no live audience, fantastic
Thank you for so carefully crafting the history of the 20th century monarchy. Very interesting and compelling to see how history indeed does repeat itself.
David , gosh you have been sooo busy with filming for your channel, I think it is all very well done, the logo , colours, music ecetera ....... I hope it is a great success and more peoples eyes are opened to th wonder that i history xx
Congratulations on nearly 10K subscribers in 24 hours. I appreciate everything about these productions - the portrait cover of episode one, the ambient fireside chat setting, the music intro and your flash of a raised brow - PERFECTION. Keep the videos coming. There is a hunger for the truth. Anyone here in the SF Bay Area interested in forming a Fan Club?
I think Dr Starkey touched on it briefly but it cannot be overstated how much of Edward VIII's abdication was driven by the British Elite. Edward was phenomenally popular with the British public and I recall he received many thousands of letters of correspondence from all walks off life sympathising with him and the imposition that had been placed upon him by this Elite. I also agree with Dr Starkey that his links with Nazi Germany have also been vastly overstated. With the power of hindsight it was used as a baton to beat him and yet we all forget the economic miracle that happened in Germany between 1933-1939. Hitler won Time's "Man of the Year" award for a reason and was no more of an obvious despot than Joseph Stalin was.
@@annwilliams6438 The part where the jerk is sucking up to Hitler.He can't be defended for doing that. Shows how poor his judgement was. Nothing there to admire.
I can only echo the comments of the other folk here who have expressed it better than myself ... brilliant stuff ... interesting, engrossing, factual, knowledgeable and delivered as if you're just sitting in my front room, coffee and biscuits in hand. Marvellous!
These are worth watching and subscribing to just for the intro, with the raised eyebrows. He's giving Ed Dutton a run for his money here. There ought to be a TH-cam Intro Oscars.
Dr Starkey, could you please do a video on the English Civil War/War of the Three Kingdoms period and explain why we in England (I don't know about the other countries) seem to almost jump from "The Tudors" to the "Industrial Revolution and the Victorians", whilst skipping that entire 150-200 year period? So much happened in that period, just as interesting as both what came before and after, yet it seems scrubbed from our national psyche. The Civil War, the Restoration, the beginnings of real empire, the Glorious Revolution, the Jacobites, the Anglo-Dutch wars, the beginning of the Hanoverian Kings... the founding of the United Kingdom for God's sake! Why is it the bits before and after are part of the national psyche but not the bit in the middle???
I have seen a number of comments relating to the 'addictive' nature of Dr David Starkey's talks. For me the key (apart from the obvious superb content) to achieving this is his sublime delivery mechanism (voice). My wife also agrees.
I have for many, many years watched, listened and learned from Dr. Starkey. I hope that one day I may have the pleasure of meeting and maybe having dinner with you sir, until then I will enjoy your new video talks.
My profound love and interest in history was ignited after hearing you speak and watching your amazing documentaries. So, so glad to have found your channel!
Mr Starkey, I am a huge fan of your work and your masterly lectures on this channel have made me all the more eager to study monarchical history! Your first book on the Tudors, which you called your favourite, was outstanding! Keep up the brilliant work 👏 👍 💪

Totally agree. This just shows how meaningless, and worthless official honours have become.
Indeed
@@kafka6451 Considering Charles has been selling them to Russians, they don't mean much.
You see David they can't cancel you. You are a national treasure for our nation. They are not in your league.
The dying main stream media's loss is the new media's gain. The internet just went up one IQ point.
So true. And mine.
💯 agree 👍
I’m not a royalist. Of Irish republican background. But I’m a grown up now, I appreciate history. This man is wonderful.
David you are a natural public speaker to the point that you can even get a grizzled veteran to sit and learn about topics he formerly had absolutely no interest in, sterling work indeed! 😁
Totally agree and top job Matt for guiding me here, cheers Boot!!
yeah splendid channel
A National Treasure that this American fully supports.
He could bring the history of your washing up bowl to life.
Be careful what you wish for, he just might.🤓🤓
I miss David on tv , I’m glad we can watch and listen to him again!
