Wonderful chat about the UK election and what it means. Lasts 57 minutes with lots of great insight. Worth the time to understand what happened. Language warning but it's not rife with it. David Starkey is homosexual hence the pink shirt and fun to listen to. It mostly focused on the UK but Trump and the US is mentioned.

Are you sure it’s not a case of, “He’s not gay, he’s just British”?

Well there’s always Archie Bunkers description of England is a fag country. My gaydar wasn’t even on until he mentions he’s homosexual about halfway through the interview. I suppose I should have been more aware. He’s not exactly Milo though.

Of course some gays are cognizant of the personal consequences of allowing Islam to run rampant.

No, Dr. Starkey is indeed as gay as the Mardi-Gras, and has been “out” about it for quite a few years now. Beyond that, however, he’s mostly quite conservative.

I always treasure the (easy to find on YouTube) video from a few years back of him putting “woke” über-feminist (and media darling) Laurie Penny in her place. It’s a true thing of beauty. :)

UK and most European countries lost their men during the two world wars. Those living today are mostly offspring of the weakest and gays that had children.

The Historian makes a great point. The UK has only been ruled as a democracy for 150 years.

Starkey is never fun to listen to.

I think he’s a decent historian, provided you stick to English history prior to the War of the Roses. The man is a unabashed Tudor apologist.

At 13:00, he makes a great point of how the Left in US and the UK, the left are fanatics that do not allow for dissent.

The bottom line is that when you really take a good look at what Britain has become, regardless of the recent election, it will never be worth the sacrifice of American blood and treasure to preserve it.

Absolutely wonderful analysis of the UK election.

He refuses to deal with any of the new information unearthed by historian John Ashdown-Hill and is completely unprofessional in his attacks on anyone who disagrees with his pro-Tudor conclusions. Very disagreeable individual as well.

Minute 29:30, he says he is gay, but he is against forcing gay marriage on the British people.

There is that swishy British thing, but Starkey is well-known as gay -- and a conservative British academic as well.

Starkey is also an out and proud conservative, getting a load of criticism in 2011 for saying during a debate on the BBC about a spate of riots that one of the central problems was the influence of a "violent, destructive and nihilistic' black culture that had corrupted too many of Britain’s youngsters. A substantial section of the chavs have become black. The whites have become black. Black and white, boy and girl, operate in this language together . . . which is wholly false, which is a Jamaican patois that’s been intruded in England, and this is why so many of us have this sense of literally a foreign country."

Starkey then added that Tory MP Enoch Powell was right in warning, more than 40 years ago, that immigration would ultimately cause conflict across our cities. And, like someone we know well, Starkey is said to take an almost malicious delight in provoking rows, being once known as 'the rudest man in Britain.’

About minute 32, “Liberalism is an extremist cult”.

The problem with gays is that for most of them, they let their sexuality drive their view of the world, and with it, their politics. Yes, there are a few that are somewhat level-headed, but they are few and far between.

That’s not true. Many courageous men survived and bred. That conclusion you make is illogical, otherwise the USA would be effeminate after the civil war, but it wasn’t

For those not in the know what has changed recently in War of Roses/Tudor history?

Off the top of my head, Edward the 4th’s secret marriage revealed through the work of historian John Ashdown-Hill.
