Hard to miss Dr Milnes politics with his snarky comment about President Trump election. He also got in a sly one on John Majors. And they wonder why academia is falling into reprute.
Was going to watch this but the ridiculous political hysteria at the start means I won't bother. I was hoping to watch an unbiased historical assessment, not a political lecture.

So glad these speeches are online, wish I'd found them 6 years ago!
Well I guess I'm interested in the history of ports now.
What a treat these history talks about London are. Great stuff!
Very interesting and well-presented information. Loved this lecture.
This is very informative. Also enjoying his humorous allusions to current affairs.

Good talk overall. BTW, It could be worse for us Americans. We could have May.
Very interesting
! :D
A most interesting and informative lecture. But I can assure you Dr Milne, that the political commentary does nothing to enhance your presentation.
I watch these videos for knowledge. I do not watch them for cheap political jibes. Please stop.
When you grow up, you'll learn to laugh at your own opinions as well as others, it's called being light hearted.

That sneer at US democracy was unnecessary.
Ha! I logged in because I found it interesting, but the political Kool-Aid was getting on my nerves. I see that most others saw the same thing.
Poor baby snowflake.
He said one thing "political." Most thinking people see Trump for what he is..a overachieving carnival barker.
It's a shame that an academic talk should be spoiled at the outset by a sneery comment about the democratic choice of working people.
Well said
A fascinating lecture but the smarmy asides added nothing to it. However, it riled the Trumpsters, so he done some good at least.
First two minutes - cheap leftist schoolboy political gag....
No thank you..
NEXT...
34:11 How do you become civilized without trade(and, more importantly, maintaining it)? All this snarky politics engenders a hearty "thumbs down".
