    David is an amazing orator and writer, but most importantly and more rarely: an incredible teacher. I recall an amazing channel 4 program almost a couple of decades ago now where David was engaging otherwise uninterested inner city, London students in history, and how engaged they were by his masterful Socratic method. David showed a warm and personable side also in that program which sometimes does not come across in talks like this. I am also incredibly engaged every time I listen to this marvellous and erudite man.

    Oddly enough, I recently started listening to Thatcher's autobiography, read by the lady herself, and it struck me how we're going through the 70s again... However, there are a few factors that are decidedly different, now, and I hate to say it, but I don't see a new Thatcher on the horizon to usher us into a new 80s...
    I fear it's only downhill for a long, long time, and sadly, with potentially no period of resurgence, only collapse and eventual morphing into something unrecognisable.

    I disagree that the Conservative Party 'lost" the February 1974 General Election.

It wasn't until 1752, with the adoption of the Gregorian calendar and a change to the modern calendar system, that January 1 was officially recognized as the start of the year in England.

    He is wrong about labour losing to the Conservatives in 2029 is for the birds. Unlike the 1970's the scale of the betrayal of the people by the conservatives is not the same. There was no Reform party. The only way forward would be a pact between reform and the conservative, the trouble with that is a matter of trust, after the conservative betrayal of the brexit party on Brexit. This will mean that the right is split giving Labour another majority.
