I listen to a hell of a lot of content. David's is by far the most engaging and educational. Probably the most important voice for true English conservatives.
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.
I agree- Cambridge University’s loss is our gain. But I do wish he’d read the Bible a bit more as it’s had such a deep influence on our social history for centuries- much more than Shakespeare or the classics or any other source of knowledge.
@@thehound9638 Yes, I remember that. In any ‘ordinary’ school appointment, he would have been put through a disciplinary or capability process. Ring any bells?
@@ulmusminor1111 In his defence he's used to teaching adults and as he has no children of his own he probably doesn't understand how quickly they get bored or how easily they become upset or offended.
I’ll tell you how wonderful he is. I’m a 70 year old heavy vehicle driver in NZ now, but I’ve had several previous lives. I cant get enough of this man! In the wee hours of my late shifts I can hear him easily over the noise of my vehicle. He connects everything in Britain now with its past, and we in NZ, wether we like it or not, are connected to that too. Thank you, David Starkey.
A complete political history in 56 minutes and 4 seconds! A 'tour de force' is an understatement. Thank you DS - my undergraduate textbooks were also Teutonic-American.
Yes, it’s a safe bet that he can both opine on & even comfortably teach history whilst strolling along. I’ll hazard a bet, though, that he prefers to do both while seated.
It's incredible to think they cancelled Mr Starkey. It's almost the only evidence you need. When he speaks, one learns - and it is a joy so to do. Let us hope that future Britain is capable of producing another David Starkey.
... and not at all surprising. The west has lost its way so badly that the merest scrutiny of factual information is considered a threat to the nonsensical propaganda of the so called elites but there is nothing elitist about the self serving entities that bristle with an arrogance that is borne out of ignorance and saddled with fragile insecurity.
There is no spin. No avoidance of a delicate subject. And his answers are from facts and his knowledge that frighten the wokers. Additive listening. Brilliant David.
Evrey Century, we go through the same wars, famines plagues !and every century, they take more of our freedomes away ! This Century their going for everything! By enslaving the entire world! By creating a one world government run by America and its pupater government's?.
Dr. David Starkey speaking with loving authority, thank you, Sir, for educating us, I am most grateful that you even bother, but you care about your chosen subject, I pray God go with you ❤
Dr Starkey: Thanks for recommending the 1979 Conservative Manifesto . . . available as a link at the Margaret Thatcher Foundation, for those looking for the document. 🇬🇧
@@evolassunglasses4673does this not terrify you? The 1% own all the wealth? I'm not advocating the politics of envy, however, the wealth transfer should disturb you.
@@evolassunglasses4673 WOW well said. The working man works 9 to 5 5 days a week on average, Most working men will not go to a tax accountant to work out how he can pay less tax and help his parents, siblings and himself by putting money into pensions or how to reclaim money for equipment he needs for his job, The working man just goes to work, grumbles when 1/4 of his gross pay goes to the government to pay for the NHS, Education of their off springs, prop up local councils and pay for infrastructure, i bet you have never written to HMRC asking them to check your tax code,
They have more tax avoidance, tax dodging tricks than people know. The wealthiest people I know have more criminal ways of avoiding paying for anything, especially tax. In regards to the percentage they pay, it's about proportionality.
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.
You are right I feel I could sort it out in a week I set up a business from nothing I know how everything works Wish I could be in charge We would be best country in world I can not believe these career politicians are controllling a world they have no knowledge of It grass roots
You need a self made millionaire in charge who came from nothing to help others on the ladder of success The whole country Rich poor sick and well Give them a purpose and hope Do not destroy your country's spirit
My Swedish great-grandfather changed his surname to an Englishman's surname after immigrating to the United States. His son, my grandfather's, chief talking points towards the end of his life were the outrages of modern American immigration policy.
I disagree that the Conservative Party 'lost" the February 1974 General Election. Because of our electoral system, the Tories got more votes than Labour but ended up with 4 fewer MPs. A few people voted Labour in that election because they promised to give the British people a referendum on our continued membership of the Common Market.
He could have saved himself the effort of 'Drawing Historical Parallels' re. human rights if he read the writings of an MP who predicted the human rights issues over 200 years ago when the concept was "now in the heat of its first ferment" Two minutes in and he's on about 1930s Germany! The usual preoccupation of an English historian. The history is recorded differently depending on the viewpoint of the writer, the parliamentary debates for the year of 1829 are not available to read on the Hansard site: but never mind our own dirty laundry when we can keep talking about the German's!
Starkey's insistence that the English must lose their identity and adapt to the endless influx of a global underclass is asinine to me. England is a nation, their is no country of Britain. To whom does England belong? To whom does Nigeria belong? These are simple questions, ignore the answers at your peril.
Like the Royal Mint relying upon Isaac Newton, in the 1920s, the United States made the third richest man in the country (after Carnegie and Rockefeller), the industrialist Andrew Mellon, into the Secretary of the Treasury. The 1920s were a boomtime, small wonder.
Hmmm... yes, at that time in 1527, England used the Julian calendar, and the year was considered to begin on Lady Day (the Feast of the Annunciation). 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.
I remember listening to a discussion on BBC R3 or R4 in which a English speaking French politician said that he envisioned the Uniting of Europe as a step towards making Roman Catholicism the universal religion of Europe. I do not know the politicians name. However, I think I he is currently in the possess of being made a Saint for his efforts by the Roman Catholic Church. Can anyone provide the details?
Well done Starkey 👊 when this does not work more tax rises, more borrowing and more QE money printing will come…to save your ‘wonderful’ public service….then you will run out of other peoples money 🤷♂️
Its a good job britain n scotland unified, the inventions they created together changed the entire world, id like to hear davids view on wales being part of england till the king created a principality n called it wales, how did it become a separate country? England was already small, why carve it up further? I can understand the romans putting the barriers in but not our own king, imo.
catholicism took us out of the tribal age into the medieval era, but we would still be there if not for the reformation, thats why henry the 8th was our greatest king, whether he knew it or not, he was the catalyst for the modern world, imo.
He was not a religious reformer in real sense. Reformation was really introduced under his son and enforced by his second daughter. Mostly against the will of the overwhelming majority of the English population.
Mr Starkey has obviously no knowledge of Switzerland and its history. It is and has been a confederation of quite different entities, culturally, linguistically, religiously etc. It is still rather decentralized.
Save yourself an hour of navel gazing and crying over spilt milk. Read the Aesop's fable 'I was a lion once' it only takes a minute or less. You're welcome
When Starkey sticks with history he's ok to listen to... But when he harps on politics, and the evils of a multi racial, multi cultural society.... He becomes very irritating!
So you teased about Germany about academic life after The Second World War, then. Well, Anne Boleyn was executed. I say Henry VIII was like scruffy men as they are today. You must have been dehydrated at 13:12. England really does need to close it’s back door to that risk of Scotland. In America until the 1660’s I would have compelled to change my name, indeed. So I would choose idiotic things such as parliament.

I often think to myself how different the country would be, had it been run by people like david for the last 2 decades.

Pure Gold ... Classic Starkey ... !
I must say that I have never heard a more interesting, brilliantly thought out and well presented piece👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It was a joy.

There is no spin. No avoidance of a delicate subject. And his answers are from facts and his knowledge that frighten the wokers. Additive listening. Brilliant David.
I really enjoy David's perspectives. He's also got balls of Tudor brass making the Flodden joke in Scotland right at the start!
A marvellous lesson, thank you David
Brilliant as ever.
Learn lessons from history or be doomed to repeat it 🧐
@ prior to his comments on Brexit he was a world renowned historian shows me there is an agenda 🤔
@@bestcomsystems4458then eloquently refute (in the comments) what he's saying, using your plethora of historical knowledge!!

As a gay guy, I'll 2nd that.
Agreed...and yet Cambridge University chose to kick him out because they didn't like some of his views around race! Disgraceful! Shame on them.
How do we know where to go, if we don't know where we have been !

Elton's school textbook on the Tudors put me off A-level History very quickly!
Starkeys input to the coverage of both the queens funeral and the kings coronation was leagues ahead of anything else.
