I’d say the vast majority of sensible and mature people agree with him but from watching a lot of the coverage you’d think the views of that women represented the majority.

@@joancooley1387 By studying the past you can see into the future and the further you look back in time, the further you can see into the future, which means history (and historians) are invaluable to making good decisions.

Yep it's a scary as hell.... Once they organise properly and huge gangs form then I believe the streets will run red. I think the next 20 years are going to be bumpy
Absolutely correct, if an intruder enters your home, you have to know their intent, and use "reasonable" force. An immeasurable term that will be scrutinised in the sanitised arena of a court.
The government never let us see the ethnicity breakdown of the people committing knife crime. Its a fact we never had a big knife crime problem until about a decade ago and it now increases each year.

For burglary, we really need a clear law allowing lethal force. If someone is in your home, the default position should be to assume they are armed and dangerous.
This is what I've been saying for years. People have the right to defend themselves. When I leave my house I always carry a self defence weapon. If the police and criminal injustice system are not going to protect people, then people need to learn to protect themselves.
Open borders has done this and everyone knows it. It's about race, and until we take them back to their countries of origin this will always be present in our society.
Intelligence and learning like Starkey's is going extinct in Britain - someone who can verbalise with eloquence & erudition what the common man feels but can't always express. When his generation dies we'll be living in Idiocracy
Do it. You wont regret it. With all the travel woes you can still ( as I did) get back and see the family frequently. It's amazing how downhill the UK has gone.
Dr Starkey is spot on. The police need radical reformation to return them to their actual purpose. Recruit more officers if needs be. Arm them. But put them out there on patrol - with a mission to crack down on any and every kind of criminal behaviour. BTW It may very well be the case that a lot of the burglaries and muggings are the work of gangs of extremely prolific repeat offenders. So if these gangs could be targeted (infiltrated where appropriate) and shut down, that alone would probably make the number of these offences drop dramatically.
They are armed. Not like America and other countries. Our armed units stand alone for their expertise. Our beat police are courageous, they are not armed and never should be.
The police officer in the news clip looks very slovenly, stomach hanging over his trousers and hands tucked into his vest, we used to take pride in our police, not anymore.
I moved from England to the US many years ago and one of the best things about American law is that you can defend your home, with deadly force if needed. Try as they mite the Liberals have not been able to water this down. Britain is a "Nanny State" were the police are supposed to protect you, by law you can be charged as a criminal for defending yourself and your family. The problem with that is the police are never ever there when needed, so in effect you are defenseless and at the mercy of criminals. Sure they may catch your murderer, but thats not doing you any good.
The McPherson enquiry - I was a white police officer living and working in Brixton with a black wife and a mixed race child and Macpherson tried to tell me that we had a canteen culture that was racist! Our Inspector was a black British Barbadian and we had the "front line" (Railton Road etc) under control. The findings of the enquiry were reached before it began and Tony Blair was to blame ; constructing it - like the Iraq dodgy dossier - to whip the police he despised. There never was any truth in it. Shameful. But these people have no shame or remorse.
I just spent 5 years living in Vietnam. The growth I got to see around HCMC in just that time was astounding. I felt like the city almost doubled in size with the amount of growth. I returned home to see nothing changed. No growth just a stagnant economy waiting to decay. This country is a retirement home get outta here
When you have members of the Royal family moving out who of course have the opportunity to live anywhere and have security looking after them every second of everyday they know as well as anyone who has some sense that its time to pack up and leave the city.
Crime in the UK has risen so much but why? We need more police on the streets and more criminals who go to prison for life not released on a licence to repeat crime again
Brilliant facts from Mr David as always telling it as it is. I would add n have always said that the 2 most important factors in society have been eroded over the yrs in woke Britain…..”discipline n respect”….if u have 1 of them then the other follows…if society doesn’t have these then your in a downward spiral as we’re seeing now in our country.
Banning firearms was one of the smartest things our government did, however, some have unfortunately slipped through the system. It's virtually impossible to stop all criminals from importing them and what happened to that poor girl is an absolute tragedy, but also a rare occurrence. In America where gun ownership is legal in many states, this happens all too often. We should be thankful we don't live in that kind of society.
I live here in Ohio, and you are absolutely right. The gun problem is enormous, as illustrated by the news here. It is a daily report of some deadly fire!!
You can’t even approach a policeman/woman anymore without feeling like they’re questioning you..!! Its all back to front. Nothing more than a bunch of Marshmallows
I've just done some research.... "A 10% increase in the number of police recorded offences involving knives or sharp instruments (knife-enabled crime) to 49,027 offences; this remained lower than the year ending March 2020 where there were 55,078 offences" ONS 2022. So we are hardly recording recording figures are we??? Its actual dropped over the last two years
For a historian, Starkey seems to have little understanding of what is the essential principle of policing, as established in 1829, that the ‘police are the public and the public are the police’. Hence community policing is at the core of the British Police model. There are, in fact, nine principles that the British service is based on, wrongly known as the Peelian Principles, as they were established as the standing borders by the first two joint Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police. Starkey further misrepresents the Classical social contract from the 17th/18th Century. Starkey has become a Far Right revisionist!
The Conservative party simply cannot call themselves, the party of law & order. The lack of police, the lack of funding, the lack of support in the past decade is a new low. Cost cutting has become a conservative art form at a higher cost to us all.
I'd like to have seen a graph depicting the rise of knife crime overlaid with the loss of Community Police Officers to see if there was any correlation, rather than just hear Starkey's opinions. The fact is that, due to the loss of many thousands of officers over the last decade, the Police Force is a reactive, rather than a pro active force nowadays.
I dearly hope that when Liz Truss enters No.10 she call on Dr Starkey to give her a thorough run through of facts and what he knows should be done to reverse this total tragedy of, and breakdown of the system.
England need to do away with the edc (every day carry). As a collector of knives I’m happy to go to a shop and get what I’m interested in and prove who I am. To many shops hand over some really big knives to anyone above 18yrs and over.
Very refreshing to hear Mr Starkey laying the facts out on the table.
Absolute class act. He talks the truth while the apologists seek to look for excuses.
Oh Dr. Starkey, knows his stuff, speaks his truth and stands his ground. People who rely on strange hair dye and tattoos...not so much.
