It's all that tea that will do it.

The tv companies get him in, when they need a cunt.
A debate with four reasonable people being reasonable is a bit boring to the brain-dead dummies watching, so they get in a complete cunt to stir it up.

And Starkey is your man. The most reliable cunt in England, and he does very well out of it.
I don't think he's a cunt.

Nothing of what he said was 'cuntish', but relatively reasonable.
Starkey's a funny one. I think he's usually right in what he's attempting to say - but the way he says it usually comes across as elitist racist cunt - almost to the extent that it's hard to believe he's not doing it on purpose.

So what do you think he's 'attempting' to say?

Is this telepathy in action? You know what's in his mind?

I won't attempt to try and interpret what he's saying in the video, - but surely you've been in a situation where two people are arguing over a misunderstanding but you can see both sides and where they are getting confused? To me, David Starkey often seems like the personification of dramatic irony. He does his very best to discus issues in a rational logical way, yet what comes out of his mouth gets interpreted as if he's a complete cunt, hurling insults.

ITT: David Starkey proves he knows nothing about black culture. Like that comes as a surprise to anybody. What bothered me most were the two top rated comments on the video.
@Rita90ish loads of African blacks who say their country was better of under british rule,

Sierra leone 70% of them want the country to be a british colony again, and when Trevor McDonald did a series on his carribean tour he was told by a Jamaican Radio station 90% wanted to go back to being a british colony

Do whites burn babies in tyres as the blacks do in africa and you saw whites are the devil

Have you forgot about arab black slavery they still continued after whites abolished slavery?

Imperialism and genocide? Seriously? Youtube comments have gone from asinine stupidity to severe mental instability.

How can Starkey think that he doesn't come across racist in what he's saying? :|

Because for those who aren't aware of David Starkey, he's an arrogant, pompous, elitist little windbag in love with the sound of his own voice.

Starkey suffers intellectual Tourette's. I honestly don't think he realise's the weight of his words and he repeats what he thinks matters - which are often the things he wouldn't really be saying in a packed bar, with a view to long term survival(white is the new black?)....only he does. :smoke:
