That woke mob made it possible for Starkey the chief Tory to be a homosexual openly and without fear of prison. Like a bitter queen he stands in the way of progress.
@@circularisnotthis4316 try so see the difference between people back then truly fighting for equality and freedom of speech and the Mob that is the antithesis of those past activists but are posturing as “freedom fighters”. Therein truly lies the terrible misunderstanding: this misguided belief that in putting on the clothes of the Old Guard your are automatically “fighting the good fight”, you haven’t yet realized that a Mob of misguided bigots have taken over what used to be wholesome and progressive. Time to wake up to reality. ( if you have the courage)
Sweeping generalisation though, which defeats the points he made earlier about history... Having said that, rousseau's noble savage theory and 20th century postmodernism are doing untold damage these days.
Way to go! They cancelled you for your honest opinion and analysis so now in a way you are free! They have done the same to many of us, in our own small ways, for a long time. Join the club and use your great perceptive intelligence to inform us.
David was cancelled for a slip of the tongue, for using the wrong words in present times but he’s far too intelligent to be racist and obviously isn’t. Still it didn’t matter to the pitchfork brigade and our weak and flaccid establishment who went along with his cancellation just in case they came for them.
@@Matmus Sadly, commenter Mr Price may well be of a loud minority that appear unable to rationalise nor reason, therefore everyone is stupid for not 'obviously seeing his way'
At last! after 60 years I finally get the history master I respect, enjoy, learn from, and am totally absorbed by ,as he works his wonderous magic. Thank you so much Dr Starkey for this channel.
As he has said "I am not a victim of the cancel culture, as I won't allow myself to be a victim" I think I got that right, when he was being interviewed on GB News.
Absolutely enthralling, I'm a working class fella in my sixties, my education was really, very poor. I've watched you on television many times. Now your on u tube is just heaven for me.
Im dyslexic, trawling through those stuffy volumes is Hell. But I love History & he brings History to life 😍 Ever since I saw his Monarchy series I've been enthralled by his style, passion & deep knowledge. He's my History Teacher 😊
Universities are now a joke. They're public indoctrination centres which brainwash our broken and fragile youth into blind acceptance of Westminster's cultural marxist agenda. You'll learn far more on this TouTube channel.
Ditto though fortunate enough to have gone to college (2 year, Canada so not a degree, simply advanced beyond high school). I've always said I'd go to university and get a degree if I won the lottery. I am 62 and thrilled and grateful to have access to Dr. Starkey's knowledge; kind of like winning the lottery since it's an education I seek.
I was so excited to see that he started a TH-cam channel. I just discovered it this morning. He has always been my favorite historian and I was very upset with what had happened to him when he spoke out honestly about how he felt. Everyone has the right to say how they truly feel and shouldn't have to walk on eggshells to please people. That's what true diversity is, diversity of thought.
I was thrilled to see Dr. Starkey here. What a world we live in; that we can have easy and convenient access to great minds like his. His ability to not dumb down subject matter yet make it easily grasped is a gift; I'm grateful he's honed that gift.
Wonderful to see you branching out on this platform Dr Starkey, facts, evidence and truth are sorely missed, all having been drowned in the mainstream.
Well have you ever considered that maybe facts, evidence and truth are too triggering for the confused generation which came of age in our postmodern society? Starkey is a dangerous man for relaying facts, evidence and truth in his lectures instead of diversity-washing history.
@@petah-peoplefortheendlesst4668 when people stop bowing to the moronic mob this BS will stop. The problem is people with common sense and humanity are hiding how they feel and just going with the motions to keep their jobs, family and "friends". Walking on eggshells is not living.
@@petah-peoplefortheendlesst4668 It is within History that we can determine the evil ways of men, and resolve to construct a fairer, better future. History itself is replete with this same story; consider the Magna Carta for a well placed example.
What we've lost in our discourse, at least in the US, is that we've stopped attacking the issues and now attack each other. It's horrible. Thank you for your channel.
I can't help thinking it is Dr Starkey's rootedness in science - in the possibility of truth - that makes him so qualified to pursue history without agenda.
"Old books from which new learning springs" is a brilliantly concise rebuttal to utilitarian arguments that dismiss studying the humanities as a waste of time.
@@andrewhoward7200 . I’d be inclined to agree with the lady’s comment. “Old books from which new learning springs”. It’s the “citadel” that needs reigning in.
Growing up in the US, we were never taught history or geography, they were dumped into a broad category called Social Studies, which taught us nothing. I got an atlas early on, as it’s impossible to learn history without knowing the geography of the world.
I was privileged to be taught the history of Europe and the USA by a group of very able history teachers many years ago. I owe to them an inestimable debt of gratitude. Those were the days when staff automatically assumed one wanted to be, eventually, an adult and not a kidult.
How wonderful to have David Starkey as an antidote to those who are distorting our history and therefore our cultural identity to suit their own agenda. You are a beacon of truth in these dark times David, so pleased you have started this Chanel.
Great talk David. I'm so pleased that you are producing these. Channels like this make me increasingly convinced that the days of the BBC are numbered.
Absolutely magnificent. I’ve loved watching/listening to you since I was about 14 years old. I’m 31 now and still feel the same. Congratulations and good health Prof Starkey!
Thank you Dr. Starkey, David. You have such a huge breadth of knowledge in history and literature, are able to look at the facts and evidence in a scientific, analytical way but are also so good at handing on that knowledge in a digestible, entertaining way. You are a national treasure, what they did to you was miopic and idiotic, beyond comprehension. You love teaching and passing on that vast knowledge, unlike many academics, students would be so privileged to learn from you. Good luck with the channel, I can't wait for the episodes.
He was thrashing his professors in debates as a third year undergraduate, and fifty years later, posh air-heads like Laurie Penny get on the debate stage with him... it's almost cruel and unusual punishment! 😂
Just ordered 'A History of Everyday Things in England' from Abebooks. Was able to get all 4 volumes plus a 5th. Get them now while they're still cheap!
I was spellbound throughout but the sublime ending raised the hackles on my neck. The master has returned and a new light has entered my life with the advent of this channel 😍
@@davidnorman7715 . We’re all to blame. I think we got too wrapped up in a me, me, me, mind set. Having said that, there is nothing wrong with trying to better oneself but, not at the expense of others. I hope that makes sense.
David! Love you've got a channel now - I think you'd really benefit from using Odysee as a back-up in case TH-cam decides to politically censor you as they have done countess others.
I look forward to listening to David Starkey. As I listened to him I remembered the words of fiction author Tom Clancy. He said "When you write fiction it make make sense, it must be logical. Unlike real life, which is so often illogical and makes no sense at all."
Congratulations on the launch. My English is awful, east end Stratford boy. Love a bit’ve history, when told in such a honest, patriotic, enthusiastic way you do….mesmerising. Good luck with the site.🇬🇧❤️🏴❤️🇬🇧
Really looking forward to seeing this channel evolve. I'm a working class man, the product of a poor quality Comprehensive School education (due in no small part to my own foolishness). I came to a love of history later in life. This is a real treat for me.
Really looking forward to this channel. I'm a young mother and I want my children to learn about their history - we'll be homeschooling to give them a proper education - hoping to use you as a great resource. I loved the Monarchy series, filled in so many gaps in my own knowledge!
@firefly467 "Homeschooling".... 🤣... if Dr. Starkey was homeschooling his children (if he had any) one could entirely understand. But most ordinary people of average intellect only harm their offspring by erroneously believing themselves to be superior to those in the teaching profession. I feel sorry for your children!
Wonderful stuff David, and very interesting that you did well at science and credit this for helping your search for truth and facts. I am a scientist and engineer discovering a passion for history and literature late in life, especially regarding the Scientific Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution, and determined to pass on this passion for proper thinking to my grandkids before their schools corrupt them beyond hope. You join the brave and capable few who give me real hope that this woke, postmodernist takeover of the West might just be halted and turned round in its tracks!
I too loved physics and chemistry at my girl’s convent grammar school. Eventually I did Pure Maths,English and French at A level, and at university studied Honours English involving Anglosaxon up to modern literature and also American literature, but also studied Philosophy and logic. It makes you a critical reader and thinker! It’s sad that they don’t do actual experiments in the sciences now as that was the part I loved! It’s very tame just watching a teacher do them.
@@kathleenstern6822 Yes, it makes you a proper critical thinker. Electronic design is very good for that too, because what you build fails to work until you get everything just right - those demon electrons are testing you out all the way; no teacher required! Do they really not do actual experiments?! We did lots, including micro-analysis in chemistry which was really quite intricate to get right. I have several grandkids I am close to in early years of secondary school, so I will ask them more about this. I believe that rational thinking is something that has to develop in the brain through synaptic pruning, which leaves only the most used network of connections. It isn't something you learn in the intellectual sense, it operates unconsciously in those who acquire the right brain structure for it. Those who don't acquire this network early just don't have logical thought, and are susceptible to the nonsense of postmodernism instilled by words alone.
Thank you Dr Starkey for proving these words; "Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom." James 3:13
I feel as if Im inhabiting two different worlds, the contemporary and traditional and cannot make sense of either of them. This talk does plant a seed of hope though. Thankyou.
You could look at them in a contemporary way, or in a traditional way. It’s up to you to correlate the two to begin to make sense of it all. There is always conflict between the past, (was that true), and the present, (is that true). You have the freedom to decide, in your own mind; what YOU perceive to be the truth. In other words, YOU decide for yourself but, always keep in mind that you might be wrong on some things. No one can be right 100% of the time. Formulate your own opinions but, always be open to others opinions. Listen to what they have to say, see how that fits in with your views, you’ll quickly learn how to ‘dovetail’ their opinions into your own train of thought. Your own thoughts and opinions matter.
David, splendid podcast which combines a refreshingly candid approach while at the same time informative in seeking the pathways through which we may seek the truth.
Not to be recommended for those of a sensitive disposition in search of comfortable lies and the bliss of ignorance. This is the channel of uncomfortable truths, warts and wonders of all. Full of intelligence and insight, history delivered with character and heartfelt passion. Challenging our cultural preconceptions with a distinctive personal perspective. An instant sub. Thank you David for doing your own channel. So overdue. So welcome. So you better keep it up! We need it.
“People of the past don’t have our values”. In my humble opinion, the only thing in the human condition that changes is technology. Thank you Mr Starkey. Most enjoyable and informative.
The only time I ever watched Question Time on BBC 1 was when Dr Starkey was on the panel. A litte bit waspish yes, but he told it as it was, and said things that really needed saying. What do we have now? A woke anodyne and utterly dull programme which dares not say anything, lest it offends someone. Do keep going Dr Starkey. You are certainly more popular than the self righteous and oh so easily offended snowflakes would have us believe. They may crave the day when you become a sort of Stalinist 'former person', but until then (heaven help us) keep on saying what needs to be said.
This is so good to see, David. I'm in awe of your mettle and feel privileged to be able to witness your kind. I live about half a mile from one of your previous homes in Highbury. I spoke to you once as I recognised you and congratulated you on your Channel 4 programme, "Elizabeth". Thank you so much for being you 🙂 xx
In these awful times it’s wonderful to to hear someone talk with such passion about the truth. How can I contact you David? I have an extraordinary story to tell that starts right up your street with your old friends, the Tudors. It involves William Rippingham of Harborough Magna and his brother Thomas who were Clerks of the Great Wardrobe in the years running up to the Interregnum.
Outstandingly brilliant! How wonderful it is to be entertained by such depth of thought, oxymoronic though it may sound! How fortunate we are that David Starkey has gone out of his way to allow us to continue listening to his wisdom, learning and synthesis of that which has produced us and our world. Long may it continue!
I've subscribed, and I'm looking forward to many talks to come. I would love to hear your thoughts (maybe even a review) on Jan Morris's 'Pax Britannica' trilogy. I get a sense 'serious' historians are quite sniffy about the work (Morris was not an academic historian, after all), perhaps because her work is 'popularist' (that is to say 'accessible and entertaining' with a glorious wit and a melancholic touch throughout). 'Pax Britannica' happens to be one of my favourite (and most re-read) histories.

David Starkey could be talking about how to repair a washing machine, and I'd still listen.

His would be a Sat-nav voice I would agree to have. If not, I’ll stick to maps.
Agree. He's so wonderfully English.
@@mattyclare All bad washing machines are French.
He is one of the best speakers, ever. People tell me I’m articulate, but no one comes close to Dr. Starkey.

We are truly blessed Dr. Starkey, that you have chosen to defy the mob and share your thoughts with us.

No one can be right 100% of the time. Formulate your own opinions but, always be open to others opinions. Listen to what they have to say, see how that fits in with your views, you’ll quickly learn how to ‘dovetail’ their opinions into your own train of thought.
Your own thoughts and opinions matter.
Can’t wait for these videos every few days, utterly captivating. 👍🏻
Wow! Fantastic! ! Another brick in the monastery of the mind. Best of luck from Hamilton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Ahhh WISDOM, I knew if I searched youtube for long enough I would eventually find some !
How delightful to listen to someone who knows their subject through the lens of a static camera. No gimmicks or annoying angles, just eloquence.
You can's keep a good man down! Go, David!
David, splendid podcast which combines a refreshingly candid approach while at the same time informative in seeking the pathways through which we may seek the truth.
Can tell I'm going to love this channel.
Please share and help it grow and grow.
"All bad ideas are French...". Well, it made ME smile.
Terrific stuff though!
I’m so excited about this!
Always delighted to be in the company of David Starkey.
So good to see you back and fighting your corner sir.
Not to be recommended for those of a sensitive disposition in search of comfortable lies and the bliss of ignorance.
This is the channel of uncomfortable truths, warts and wonders of all. Full of intelligence and insight, history delivered with character and heartfelt passion. Challenging our cultural preconceptions with a distinctive personal perspective.
An instant sub. Thank you David for doing your own channel. So overdue. So welcome. So you better keep it up! We need it.
I wish i had you for my history teacher.
My favourite Historian and a true legend of the spoken word and free speech!
Glad to have you back!
A brilliant start to your channel Professor Starkey - Thank you
“People of the past don’t have our values”. In my humble opinion, the only thing in the human condition that changes is technology. Thank you Mr Starkey. Most enjoyable and informative.
The only time I ever watched Question Time on BBC 1 was when Dr Starkey was on the panel. A litte bit waspish yes, but he told it as it was, and said things that really needed saying. What do we have now? A woke anodyne and utterly dull programme which dares not say anything, lest it offends someone. Do keep going Dr Starkey. You are certainly more popular than the self righteous and oh so easily offended snowflakes would have us believe. They may crave the day when you become a sort of Stalinist 'former person', but until then (heaven help us) keep on saying what needs to be said.
You are my all time favourite history teacher. Much love and respect to you. Thank you for putting yourself out there.
you are not undone,
you are fabulous and loved :)
so great having you back!
I could listen to Dr. Starkey all day long.
It's great to see you have your own channel.
This is so good to see, David. I'm in awe of your mettle and feel privileged to be able to witness your kind. I live about half a mile from one of your previous homes in Highbury. I spoke to you once as I recognised you and congratulated you on your Channel 4 programme, "Elizabeth". Thank you so much for being you 🙂 xx
So glad this man is teaching me about history again. He's a cut above the rest. Congrats on your new channel Mr. Starkey!
In these awful times it’s wonderful to to hear someone talk with such passion about the truth. How can I contact you David? I have an extraordinary story to tell that starts right up your street with your old friends, the Tudors. It involves William Rippingham of Harborough Magna and his brother Thomas who were Clerks of the Great Wardrobe in the years running up to the Interregnum.
Thank you. Very pleasing to listen and learn.
You are а LEGEND! One of my favorite historians! Greetings from Bulgaria!
Outstandingly brilliant! How wonderful it is to be entertained by such depth of thought, oxymoronic though it may sound! How fortunate we are that David Starkey has gone out of his way to allow us to continue listening to his wisdom, learning and synthesis of that which has produced us and our world. Long may it continue!
Thankyou
He's right. The great teachers are great entertainers.
I've subscribed, and I'm looking forward to many talks to come. I would love to hear your thoughts (maybe even a review) on Jan Morris's 'Pax Britannica' trilogy. I get a sense 'serious' historians are quite sniffy about the work (Morris was not an academic historian, after all), perhaps because her work is 'popularist' (that is to say 'accessible and entertaining' with a glorious wit and a melancholic touch throughout). 'Pax Britannica' happens to be one of my favourite (and most re-read) histories.
I'm so pleased you have started your own channel !
On my TH-cam suggested playlist with this video you are alongside Jacob Bronowski. How appropriate - two giants of intellectual thought.
