This guy is a well know writer, commentator and cultural historian in the British Isles. He was outside the political debate, instead he was a well know voice for what was good and valuable about British history and culture.
In the British Isles he was instantly recognized by 90% of the population. His sudden wake-up in the last two years has been earth shattering over there.
I haven’t been there visiting since 2005 but when I wanted to know something about Scotland, it was a book of his that I bought. Perhaps someone better connected can chime in with more detail.
I was a history major and watch a ton of documentaries - its most of what I watch really. I believe I’ve seen all of his. He’s a well known archeologist and historian.
He even did one for the BBC about the Scots-Irish in America. That means overwhelmingly the South and Appalachia where they mostly settled. He interviewed various people and was I thought unfair to them blaming them for slavery or at least perpetuating it when the reality is they were no different in that than anybody else at the time. Anyway it got to the point I was rolling my eyes and saying “what next, they gonna bring on someone from the SPLC?” Sure enough, THEY DID! I turned it off immediately.
From that I thought Neil like the rest of the BBC, a standard Gaia worshiping global socialist. Seeing him become red pilled over the last few years has been awesome.
