Since K created a Streisand effect becoming the new Sam Harris adopting the governments position on censorship and responded as Ben Shapiro . It’s hard to listen w out hearing his disdain 1. He spoke on something he heard about. 2.Ad hominem, logical, authority so many it cld be example first day Falacy 101 3. He didn’t listen to it he heard about it It was not about him. ..he is not the purveyor of truth about Russia. His bias is so huge we can smell it. Attacking another pod castor who have on .. attacking T C as if it’s not about the R grocery store. K comes across as penchalent child
The ego is the programming that makes you unhappy and dissatisfied. The ego is just programming; it isn’t an entity, as many imagine-a little you inside your head-although it feels like that at times. The ego is the programming that shapes what the voice in your head says to you. By examining the voice in your head, you can get to know the ego. This programming provides a way of perceiving life. It is a viewpoint-the ego’s viewpoint-and that viewpoint is deeply flawed. The ego doesn’t see life as it truly is. You are programmed to misperceive life. And you are programmed to try to fix what you perceive by doing and getting rather than by being: by looking within yourself and discovering what is actually true and, thereby, releasing yourself from the suffering caused by the ego’s misperceptions. The ego is the programming that creates unhappiness and then offers solutions to that unhappiness. The problem is that the solutions don’t work, at least not for long, not to mention that this programming is the cause of your suffering in the first place. Without the ego, you would be happy and content and kind to each other. The way to happiness, contentment, and love, therefore, is to see the truth about the programming, to see that it is false. Seeing the truth about it is tricky, though, because you are programmed to believe your programming. Your programming seems true, and it is ingrained, automatic, and compelling. Your programming is very convincing! To discover the falseness of your programming, you have to be willing to examine it and question it. This is no small order; it can be quite scary to take this step. Questioning your programming is like questioning your very foundations. Questioning the programming puts you on shaky ground. What will happen to you if you do? But to become free of the programming, much more is needed. It isn’t enough to just be convinced that your programming is false, because the programming is still operating in every moment. The programming doesn’t stop just because you have learned the truth about it. It continues as it always has. For the programming to stop or not run you anymore, it has to be disassembled piece by piece. The false beliefs produced by the programming have to be seen as false, one by one, moment to moment. That is the work, and this is bound to take time. This work requires that you be aware of the thoughts that run through your mind. And even that is not enough, for you also have to see that those thoughts are false and stop believing them. Then, there’s one more thing you have to do: Turn your attention to the present moment instead of the voice in your head. So, breaking free from the programming involves four things: 1. Understanding that the voice in your head is the cause of suffering and that it is not your voice but the voice of your programming (that’s the easy part), 2. Becoming aware of the thoughts in the thought-stream, which I’ve been calling the voice in your head. This awareness is developed in meditation, 3. Inquiring into the thoughts in the thought-stream that you still believe until you are convinced that they aren’t true, useful, or worthy of your attention, and 4. Turning your attention away from the realm of thought to real life, to the present moment. That ability to disengage from your thoughts is also developed in meditation. Meditation is critical to this process. Meditation is the antidote to being caught up in the voice in your head and taking on its perceptions. Meditation develops the skills needed to disassemble the programming. Without a daily practice of meditation, the process of detaching from the voice in your head will take much longer, possibly lifetimes. Meditation will accelerate your emotional and spiritual evolution like nothing else.
I agree. So for that reason please vote Reform next election, not those woke Maoist treacherous pigs in the SNP. Please also tell everyone you know the same. There might be some future for us all then.
I am an " English Refugee" living in Bulgaria and I feel more at home than I do in the UK! England is barley recognisable as the country of my birth. I returned to my home town for a visit last year and i looked more like the Gaza Strip!
15 years in the far east specifically Hong Kong before all the crap happened but still feels more like home than the UK now. Work hard make money and live a good life because you keep most of what you earn and not taxed to death, plus you don't have to worry about being mugged by a 15 year old.
@@joek600 Erm, I would. Same way the whole world looked to Germany as it was before East Asia took over manufacturing and tech. Everyone with common sense knows this. The exception is the USA because it isn't a backwater (yet).
The wokesters are secular Hegelian cultists/religious and their cult/religion emerged from the transnationalists socialists/globalists socio-fascists Third Worldism agenda. Fascism is never on the RIGHT side of history. We National Populists within every allied nation must continue to forge an ever stronger international alliance and redemocrarize the rising Western Civilization State. I do disagree with him on the fact we need a neo Renaissance of Christianity in the new postsecular transhistorical metamodern "network society" era. Jesus Christ is King of kings and Lord of lords.
all we need to do is get the right politicians in, honest people, normal people, who stand up for the country and public. Cut the ridiculous spending. We can turn this around it just takes will.
Starky never mentions the part of the Union us Scots know as the "Equivalent ". There were riots in Glasgow ,Edinburgh , Perth and Aberdeen when the 1707 treaty was signed. He may know English history inside out but not Scottish.
The toxic narrative being peddled by the current elites is that England is a dirty word. Anyone English should be ashamed of their own existence. How can we expect immigrants to have any respect for our heritage when our own government has no respect for it either.
Rome wasn't built in a day. In the trying one becomes. If you can aspire, you're already on the right path. The world always need more critical thinkers.
First trip to the UK was 2006. I stayed with English friends at Wandsworth. From their flat, I walked all over London. The Tower, Imperial War Museum, Oxford St etc. Had fish and chips in Pimlico with my mate , who immigrated to Australia and he did it the right way. Drank many pints of real ale, ate cumberland sausages and mash, caught the tube allover London, rode the double decker buses to. Did the whole tourist bit and felt my english and welsh heritage. Sadly I wont go back, the London I loved in 2006 has gone, corrupted by bad actors and political sycophants and I fear there is no end in sight. And my sense is Starmer will make it worse. Wake up England take your country back.
I hear you . I emigrated to Australia from the uk in the late 80s and try to visit family every couple of years. During this time I have sadly watched as the uk successive government have made mistake after after mistake hoping I was wrong. Everybody looks sad and angry. The streets look neglected and everything is very expensive. Last visit I witnessed racism like you wouldn’t believe and because an African lady wasn’t sure which bus to get on and was holding up the queue. Each visit it seems things are worse than before and everyone asks if I can take them back with me. I can’t believe what’s happened to the country of my birth that I still love dearly. Not saying that Oz is not having their own issues though but we are not far down that slippery slope so there’s still time to improve things.
No point in waking up. It is just too late. The simple mathematics of procreation has seen to that, and it will hit home with overwhelming force within 10 years.
It’s sad that something so rich and proud has been recklessly vandalised. I’m glad to hear you’ve had that wonderful experience and remember it so fondly. You’re lucky at least for that. Now England is being subsumed into a globalists fever dream which is nothing anyone who matter would ever want or ask for.
How refreshing to listen to Dr. Starkey. Stream after stream of knowledge. I could listen for hours. He doesn't bullshit either just to spare the hair trigger offense takers. He is like many of my teachers from school in the 1970s; unapologetically, confidently English.
He’s full of bullshit! Blaming Blair and the Queen (?) for the state of the NHS when is was actually working back then and it’s the last 14 years of Tory misrule that have objectively left it with a much lower % of GDP and also lowered the actual GDP by getting Brexit done. But somehow what we really need is immigrants to be doing some sort of tour for citzenship. Mince!
Hey brothers .. an American here 🇺🇸.. England set the standard.. take it back.. there’s a whole lot of us over here across the pond that think very highly traditional England 🏴
Not all of us here in the US have the same view as you about England; if anything, it was France that set the standards considering they eradicated the French monarch, and thanks to France the US gained its independence from the English
@@suntzu94 It was in part thanks to the public traditions we got from Britain that we were able to part company with King George without France's reign of terror, and kept much of the common law precedent instead of having something like the Napoleonic Code. And it was the French monarchy that helped us gain independence, not the French Republic (any of them), though certainly Lafayette had general revolutionary or at least reform notions when he served in the Continental Army. It can hardly be maintained that the elimination of the French monarchy IMMEDIATELY brought about an improvement and advancement of liberty in France or in Europe, much less that it did us any tangible good. And the revolutionary government imprisoned Lafayette and Thomas Paine. While Napoleon conveniently sold us the Louisiana Purchase, he is hardly the champion of liberty he cosplayed as (when he wasn't cosplaying as emperor). Certainly the ideas behind the US Constitution in general and the Bill of Rights in particular find their source in the traditions of the rights of Englishmen, the Magna Carta, and English common law, though I assert we helped the tradition along. If we hadn't provided a relatively benign example of representative government, the UK might well have reacted differently to the French Revolution, if any.
@@digitalnomad9985 How much help did Napoleon give the US colonists, or did you skip that chapter? The US is a republic just like France, the forefather of the US. Conversely, England is considered a democracy, but you can't have a sitting monarch and lack a First and Second Amendments. The English are weak and now the laughingstock of the world
But there have been many British Monarchs. Leave the King and Princess of Wales alone. Cancer and it's treatments are terribly debilitating. I wouldn't wish it on you or yours...where's your empathy?@@AndyJarman
The Paradox of Tolerance “Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them." Karl Popper
@@afrimmaja3194 Not endangered at all. There are literally thousands of people blaming immigrants for problems they aren’t creating. He just uses bigger words to distract you.
6:17 as a Welsh speaking Welshman I have to massively disagree with Starkey here. Learning Welsh in school was culturally very important for understanding Welsh identity and heritage. You lot can have Stonehenge and your Westminster Abbey, we’ll keep our language alive.
As an Englishman, I couldn’t agree more. The preservation of Scottish, Welsh, and Irish heritage, is fundamentally important to our British identity, and the identity of the Welsh as a nation. I’m sure Starkey would agree English culture is unique to the other British nations, so too is Welsh culture.
@@gg-sr9lq While I appreciate the sentiment, the overwhelming majority of actual Irish people, not your confused tourists in the North, resent our heritage being included in this conversation. We are not part of the British identity and have told you in a variety of different ways on numerous different occasions. That does not mean we would be happy to see yours replaced with an "Asian" or PanAfrican" identity and have no interest in speaking with most of your new inhabitants or ours.
The point he is making is that the Welsh get to be Welsh, the Scottish get to be Scottish, the English get to be British and pay for it all in statutory silence as any invocation of Englishness is immediately racist, homophobic, sexist, misogynistic, and of course transphobic. I mean really add you own buzzwords at this point and it will be taken for granted and added to the received wisdom.
He's literally said exactly the same thing. Go rewatch that last and actually listen this time, instead of instantly deciding what you heard and getting butthurt.
DAVID STARKEY is just....such a WONDERFUL English treasure!!!! His knowledge of history and British politics is amazing! And he explains everything so well!! I agree 100% with everything he said. These 20s will be very hard for our great nation. Starmer will see to that. Superb episode Konstantin!!! ❤❤❤
British politics 😂 did you not listen to the words of Mr Starkey Westminster is an English parliament dealing with English issues English and Scottish politics are very different because they have different problems
As a woman in my 70's I went through the horror of that period in the 1970's under the whip of Labour and the crass ineptitude of the Tories before them. Lights out across London, unions taking us all to the cleaners because they were marxist and they didn't give a fk about people . Political ideology was all they cared about. My aspirations coming out of school were maimed by these idiots. Now I have witnessed the coming storm and I saw the Labour party coming into power after the gross negligence of the Tories I knew what we were in for. God I despise the lot of them but I really despise Labour and Tony Blair trying to wrest as much power as he could away from parliament and the people.The labour party really are the worst authoratarians.
Also in my 70s with the same memories. I'm bracing for a 'winter of discontent' mk 2 with additional servings of racial conflict and further breakdown of law and order.
What you don’t understand as we were poor in the 70s as we not part of the EU we became richer while part of bad sadly the old people are stupid and voted us out
Thank you for this amazing interview. As an American I never cease to be bewildered by the richness and obscurity of English and British history. I find it marvelously impenetrable to anyone who, like me, was not exposed to it in my American educational upbringing. Nevertheless, being exposed to these in depth interviews with great British professors is slowly but surely increasing my grasp of English history which is so deeply but obscurely imbedded in our American cultural and political identity, post-1775. This was my first exposure to the historical intricacies and cultural impacts of the 1707 union, and what uniquely is the British concept of cultural "diversity" of "Britishness". As Americans, we are bemused by the modern politics of four different "countries", Northern Irish, Welsh, Scottish, and English. To us it is a sort of archaic, monolithically Euro-Causian, ethnic identity crisis worthy of jovial good natured pub ribbing, but not much more. Apparently that is a superficial American misunderstanding of the real situation. So, I'm acqiring a deeper understanding of how all this works in conjunction with the post-Tony Blair complication superimposed upon the very real contemporary challenges of mass immigration from non-European cultures. You've got a real problem on your hands, mates!
David is correct on most things but the collapse of education in Wales has nothing to do with the Welsh language. Most children in Wales don’t attend a Welsh medium school and Welsh medium schools generally perform better than their English medium counterparts. The collapse of education in Wales is 100% down to Welsh Labour.
he is wrong about wanting DIEversity in our countries it always leads to ethnic and civil wars boomers live in a different world from the younger generations.
Yeah, he definitely assumed correlation implying causality there. Welsh has always been taught and the standard was better so it’s definitely not a language issue.
Starkey's comments about how the Working Class used to be reminded me of my own family, and how I grew up knowing that the working classes cared very much about being respectable, & were active in their local community. My late father was born in Bermondsey (South London) in 1926. His own father was a clerk in a women's corsetry factory. He & his wife were stalwarts of the local Methodist Chapel, & grandfather was an alderman on the Bermondsey Council. His own father drove a water cart, so Grandfather had bettered himself. In turn, my father went to a grammar school in New Cross (& later read Physics at New College Oxford). A huge social elevation across 3 generations. My father made a real point of letting me know that his mother always had a fresh tablecloth each day, and never put a milk bottle on the table. His parents had Standards.
@loisetrott5532, Unfortunately today, the standards have dropped so much they are nearly in the gutter. My family weren't wealth off at all, but there were standards. My sibling and myself were raised with good manners, and politeness. We were taught to say Mr or Mrs or Miss to people. My dad was a labourer, but before going out even if it was to take us to the park, he would wash and put on a pair of trousers, shirt and tie, and sometimes a hat. His shoes were polished everyday, to a shine you could use as a mirror. Unfortunately, discipline and standards are a thing of the past. I raised my child with the same standards.
Very glad Starkley noted that, it’s one of the reasons why American patriots have remained defenders of the American Constitution and why we carry that history with us today. Keep in mind that we do love the Brits and have put the past behind us that we enjoy each other’s company (till a minor difference makes us tease each other) many Americans who have studied the concept of the nation have made certain to learn the lessons from the past, so wisdom like this is passed down generations to reflect and understand to not put your trust in an institution that can easily override their authority.
A nation with large numbers of immigrants cannot have identification with an historical continuity as a unifying factor and this was recognized in Sweden when a government decree abolished Swedish history. The decree states the since large sections of the Swedish people do not have a common history this can no longer be a unifying factor and instead being Swedish today means identifying with a common set of values. The problem for Sweden is that large sections of the Swedish people do not have a common set of values either and the once ethnically homogeneous and peaceful Sweden is disintegrating in rampant crime and chaos.
Sweden was the first country to commit national suicide. My friends there will not even let their daughters out in the streets. Sweden was killed by its own tolerance.
It’s what happens when you import the most conservative misogynistic homophobic Iron Age people into your modern liberal western country- and force it on your people! You voted for it Sweden , now deal with it!
@@70AD-user45 It is tragic what has happened to Sweden. I lived and worked in Sweden in the early 1970's, I learned the language and loved the country and it's people. Sweden was beyond doubt the best country in Europe, the Swedes called it the Folkhemmet, People's home, and it really was, it was safe, clean, friendly and peaceful with very little crime and a well functioning health service and welfare state. I visited Sweden regularly over the years and watched the slow decline but I've not been back there for about four years or so, decades of mass immigration have destroyed what was once a fantastic country. It is incredible but the Swedes did it to themselves, they opened their borders and let the third world flood into their country in massive numbers and now the best country in Europe is no more.
This is basically just christian universalist ideology at play nothing really new. Once you replace thinks like race with vague concepts like "the human soul" or "human rights" you're basically doomed as a civilization.
I love this man. Real patriot giving a positive story of the UK'S contribution to the modern world. We have nothing to be ashamed of, much to be poud of. Thank you David.
I've really enjoyed that. David Starkey is the best person I have come across who is able to explain 'Englishness/The English Question'. This is because it has been ignored for far too long in our state education 'system', and by our political and media class. Whilst there are some issues upon which I disagree with Dr Starkey, I will defend to the death his right to say it! Thanks to both Dr Starkey and the Triggernometry team for posting this fascinating conversation. Peace.
Every British should watch this. The content is very rich and give a deep and comprehensive picture of Britain and England. It’s not something ppl have to chance to listen to in the old days. This is really one of the very few pros of YT😂 And thank you Trigger for having Dr David on the show.
Listening to David Starkey's discourse ( and it's always a discourse, irrespective of who interviews him) always takes me back to the 1970s and my days as a 'perennial student,' being schooled in British social and economic history by an extraordinarily learned but generous scholar; and taught the principles of the British Constitution by two, old school ( 'Queen and country'), card-carrying members of the Labour Party; and finally, tutored by Dr. Spence in the labyrinthine subject of Modern World History. Such gifted teachers whose knowledge and understanding were unsurpassed. Halcyon days indeed.
No single word about the City of London being the main disruptor of Great Britain, leaving the whole country at the financial mercy to their private interests?? 🤔
He'll be accused of antisemitism. Banking, plunging nations into debt slavery, and open boarders, is a by word for antisemitism. Action Français, a right wing French Party, tried to make the same claims during the interwar years. It ended up backing Hitler.
Bingo. This comment should be pinned. Platforms like this are the disrupters of life and stir the shit melting pot by deflecting the attention away from the very powerful establishment that runs the world. I’m sure they get paid handsomely too for it
I understand what Dr Starkey is saying wholeheartedly. I am an immigrant and naturalised citizen of France. I hopped through the hoops of interviews with officials, quizzing you on the French political system and history. I am quite happy of how it went and I learned a lot especially about the politics and the functioning of the republic. It also helps I volunteer a lot and deliberately took french courses. This was my experience and if everyone goes through this, I think the integration into French society should be smooth sailing.
He's absolutely right about the importance of encouraging people to visit Westminster Abbey. Not just for the architecture and history but understanding who we are and where we've come from. Monarchy, music, poetry, literature, sciences. It should be mandatory for every school in this country to visit it. It is that thought provoking and awe inspiring. Yet it doesn't even make the top 10 of London landmark visitors per year.
@@Sean-p3o Cling to the Thatcher bogey-(wo)man delusion all you like but you shouldn't spread misinformation. The NHS was created under Attlee's Labour govt in 1948. From wiki " The Labour Party had won a landslide victory at the 1945 general election, and went on to enact policies of what became known as the post-war consensus, including the establishment of the welfare state and the nationalisation of 20 percent of the entire economy."
Oh my gosh you could have him talking for five hours it wouldn't be enough!!! Love listening to Dr Starkey ]Just started following his channel ! Excellent analysis Thank you Sir Interesting... very interesting Wonderful discussion Thank you Gentlemen Brilliant discussion I love these discussions, you do brilliant work Trigg
Starkey is, of course, correct, but all this has been obvious for many years. He does make a good point about Starmer being the ultimate embodiment of the vile, corrupt, disaster that is the British state, but when Labour won in July, I too sensed that they represented the end point.
We must listen to our elders. Starkey is a national treasure. I very much enjoy his audiobooks because hearing his own words in his voice is even better than reading them
Education outside the classroom. I very much enjoyed this session because it brought back moments when my father was giving me things to live by. I have treasured those moments ❤ thank you.
David, i have three adorable first generation migrant grandchild, through adoption. I at first instinctively and then consciously have done just has you suggested. I have sought to make them aware of our history and our nature and to love it as i do. I beleive it has been a success until they hit secondary school. I shudder to think what they are being told about me and my ancestors. The eldest is the " diversity monitor " and instead of melting into our way of life they become evermore aware of their blackness and being African . Until we legislate to end DEI, Critical Race Theory in schools and Universities , integration and adoption and love of our country is a steep up hill battle.
The most relevant political movement of yesteryear that implemented race theories were the Nazis who are the historical counterparts of today's transnationalists socialists/globalists socio-fascists with their Third Worldism agenda and their secular Hegelian religion/cultism (known as wokeness here in the US).
This woke education system is corrupting our children. Please do your best to stop those kids from believing in everything woke! Those kids will be the future of Britain. Think about that!,
That's the issue, you need to enforce ethics and history, not expect the state to end it, you must end it. There is nothing strong about being a weak victim, which is what DEI promotes.
You see this with a lot of new immigrants or first gen immigrants now. Their heads are in the east but their bodies are here in the west. It’s okay to have pride in your ancestry and heritage but it’s becoming more common to put your ancestral homeland above the UK in the pecking order, even if they’ve never visited because they were born here. Bizarre.
Hate to break it to the listeners, but there are a handful of people mourning the loss of England. Thanks for the language though. Nice and easy to learn.
I am in awe of David’s knowledge and understanding. Brilliant. Also, as an architect, I can tell you that building is about to get infinitely more complex and expensive than we have ever seen due to all the new regulations, insane levels of admin work involved, the list goes on, it’s really very bad.
David speaks so much sense, you can't argue, yet, many English and many immigrants, really don't understand English history. No country in this world has made anywhere near such important discoveries as Great Britain. Britain is responsible for nearly every one of the top 20 discoveries in this world. No country in this world has given us all the sciences we all take for granted today, they all came from Great Britain. Science, itself, is indeed British. Sir Isaac Newton: The father of physics, and considered to be the father of all sciences, by science itself. Robert Boyle: the father of Chemistry. William Gilbert: the father of Electricity and Magnetism. Ernest Rutherford: the father of Nuclear Physics. Adam Sedgwick: the father of modern geology. Charles Babbage: the father of the Computer. John Cockcroft: the genius who first split the atom. James Chadwick: with the discovery of the neutron. Michael Faraday: the genius that discovered Electromagnetic Induction. John Dalton: the discovery of the Atom, and the writer of the Modern Atomic Theory. John Thomson: the discovery of the Electron. Charles Darwin: with the Origin of Species. Stephen Hawking: the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. I could keep going, for many more pages, … Or even books. No other country in the world, has given the world medicines that are responsible for billions of people living today, (There's approx 8.2 billion on earth) Alexander Fleming changed the world of medicine. His invention/discovery of “Penicillin” is said to be responsible for the survival of over 6.5 billion people to date. British medical achievements, started all we know today. No other country in the world comes anywhere near inventing things that we all use every day. No other country in the world comes even remotely close. The British Invented the Jet engine, T.V, Telephone, Train, Penicillin, Computer, Hovercraft, Vertical Take Off Landing aircraft, LCD, Tanks, The World Wide Web, etc, etc... look at the history of each of them?, a person from this little island lay at the heart of the device. - I could keep going! Britain is responsible for an astonishing 54%, of all worldly inventions. Britain is also responsible for an enormous 61% of all modern day military invention. The chances are, if you were to look up any random piece of military hardware, there's a 2/3 chance it will be a British invention. No other country in this world has stood up, and fought for the people's freedom, and preventing the whole world from falling into the dark ages of tyranny as Britain. Britain is the only country in the world, that has always stood up and fought against every attempt at tyranny in our world's modern history. So many times throughout history, Great Britain saved Europe, not only in WW2, but many times before. With the defeat of Napoleon, being just one. Great Britain, with Prussian support, defeated Napoleon, he defeated everyone else (Russia aside). Spain, the world's global superpower of the times, sent an enormous Armada to come and crush us on this little Island, to punish us, for stealing all of their stolen gold, but ended up sunk, destroyed, and wiped out, old wrecks, littering the Scottish and Irish coastline, annihilated in other words. Who stood up, alone, to the Nazi might? Not anyone else, no, only Britain (and her commonwealth). Hitler steam rolled over Europe, defeating them all with such ease, until he came up against this tiny Island (you could fit into the USA over 40 times, and into Russia over 70 times).
@@hotstepper887 I totally agree with everything and this Country should be celebrated and taught in a positive way in our schools to promote national pride and patriotism. We would not have won WW2 if it hadn't been for USA though. The teaching of DEI and multiculturalism to rewrite our history to make immigrants feel comfortable is disrespectful to ALL indigenous population. History Education in UK is telling lies by claiming that important people in our past were black!! It's insanity.
You may have mentioned all these names, but, in the Eyes of Eternity, they're absolutely NOBODY!!! RATHER, you should say, England is the country and nation which gave birth to St.Edward the Confessor, St.Bede the Venerable, St.Winefred, St.Thomas More, and even St.Patrick himself was of a British father!!! And many, many, many other Saints - many of them Kings and Queens, that have given England the conscience it still inherits, although with pains, because some of the people you mentioned, flagrantly, have tried to destroy it!!! 😭😭😭 To make you now, go lost completely, to the point of not knowing your country well!!! I, that am speaking, am not English, but I respect deeply all those generations of good willed people and God fearing ones, who would tremble to see what has happened now to England and Britain!!! 😭😭😭 *OUR LADY OF WALSINGHAM, PRAY FOR US!!!* ✝️ ✝️
The stark difference of when I last visited with a sense of reverence and pride as a young man from the Antipodes to the utter 3rd world hot mess that Britain has become is heartbreaking and a living example of empire collapse in less than a generation.
This notion that we have lost autonomy at work is so true. I've been in sales most of my working life and when I first started I was simply given some basic training and a target and it was up to me decide how I was going to achieve it. It enabled me to think for myself and essentially only the best survived in the industry. Wind forward 35 years and I am now micromanaged to a ludicrous degree by bosses who don't seem to have a clue how sales works, have no regard for my experience and in many cases have never even done the job. The end result is a sales force full of people who spend most of their time trying to meet targets for things that have no impact on sales and who just become demoralised and stressed. Thankfully I only have another year to go!
The Welsh language is the DNA of Welsh culture. Not being Welsh, I am not in the least surprised that he failed to appreciate this. Furthermore, the 'failure' of Welsh children is not due to the Welsh language. I taught in Wales for 14 years, and I can confirm that my colleagues in schools across the bridge were privy to significantly higher budgets than we were in Wales. Larger budgets = better resources and smaller class sizes = better results. Shame on him for even having the gaul to suggest it's the Welsh language. Other than that, he's spot on with most of what he says.
The problem is WHO is being imported. You'd never have such massive issues with other populations than those specific demographic groups... mainly ANY muslim group and ANY sub-saharan group, the patterns are the same all over the world and the numbers like crime stats eerily similar. Islam, mainly, needs to go, period. And as long as we havent' realised that, we'll keep banging our heads against the wall. Not all cultures, nor beliefs systems, nor ideologies are equal and some need to be treated as the danger they factually pose.

The people who profit from our misery don't care if we hate each other or love each other. They just want us to all work for nothing so they can have their billions. We're nothing but numbers to them. As he said British values have never existed its a gigantic lie told by the same people that peddle us for modern day slavery whilst simultaneously slaying the very soul of what makes Britain, Britain = England, Wales, Scottish, Irish identities, these use to mean something to the power that once pulled the string, now they're just an obstacle for total globalist domination. Remember when they use to call people crazy for believing in the Illuminati and the NWO?? (1 world government) it's literally happening before our eyes, I also do think they're not against turning us into a Muslim nation as long as their pockets are still lined with gold and silver like the judas c&$%s they are. To make matters worse, is they want to take us to war to fight for this, when the majority DON'T WANT IT. We're living through the end of the western empire.
@DavidStarkey always has something interesting to say! Never tire of listening to him. Shame he was cancelled by the mainstream media and why his documentaries are no longer shown on TV or BBC.
I speak Welsh fluently. And I find it quite useful. While I don't think the top-down imposition of the language is the best use of our time and energy, that isn't to say it's useless. It wouldn't have survived this long if it was. It's not as if its existence and adoption over time has been solely dependent on the government propping it up. After all, there was a long time when the opposite was true. People speak it because they want to! I think it's a shame that one of the clearest advocates of conservatism seems so eager to dismiss an entire language. After all, like all languages, Welsh is an evolved cultural artifact that embodies the history, identity and experiences of its people over centuries. British people, no less. As I understand conservatism, the idea is that our traditions should be revered, in part, because they contain knowledge and serve important societal functions that we may not even know about explicitly. Rejecting them out of hand, or making too many changes to them too quickly, runs the risk of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. So, as a Welsh speaker and proud Briton, I say to Starkey: What we have is not nothing.
@DJRockford83 People who choose to speak a particular language don't necessarily do so because it travels well. There are countless other possible reasons to learn a language. If you're talking about compulsory education, I can see your argument. I imagine compulsory Welsh lessons in English-medium schools in Wales put most pupils off it entirely. Of course, that's true of many subjects. Note that all secondary schools in Wales (as far as I'm aware) offer either French, German, or Spanish.
I'm English that has lived in Wales and good knowledge of the language, Starkey got it wrong here I think he's too angry to see the wood from the trees on this one even if what he's trying to convey holds water - Englishness is nothing to a lot. I'm on your side 100% I intend to move back to Wales and become fully fluent. Your culture matters bud.
This was the one point where i too disagreed with Starkey, losing any living language is irreversible, but to lose one of our nations' own is unacceptable! i'm English...
Yes, I agree. He also threw unemployed people under the bus too. Like they sit around and do nothing? Sit in the lounge and watch tv with a pint of larger? A lot of people, especially women (older women) are out in the community doing free labour. Volunteering their time in community groups. Yes, some of it is just 15 hours a week, A lot of it is much more time, much unrecognized, a lot unacknowledged. I think he is a bit of a wind bag. 😕
When the blaze in Moscow subsided on September 18, 1812, the French-who had traveled hundreds of miles into Russia-were left without vital resources. As a result Napoleon turned them back around and they left the land. Food for thought.
I am white, born in America happy to be American, my son is adopted, at five months old from Korea, he is in his early 20s very intelligent and is fixated on England, the fact that my father was born in Canada in 1920 and came to the US at six months old. He wants to somehow parlay that into English citizenship. And one thing he would love to do is to go to the BBC proms and listen to rule Britannia, what is it about England?
This is the core idea. The left rejects it for you. But not for other groups, who are absolutely entitled to value their own ethnic and cultural identities. It’s very clear and straightforward once you see it. No leftist can explain or escape this contradiction.
What does it matter? Because when yoir kids kids talk they can say US the English have been conquered and our parents gave away our lands to non white people because of their weakness and white guilt ?
@@avengemybreath3084All White lands are being handed over to non whites via the white guilt push ! White ppl refuse to wake up ! They so desperately want to be liked
@@avengemybreath3084 Well-being is far more than GDP. Anyone who thinks that preserving ethnic heritage and identity is unjustified are merely woke sheep or anti-European. This scale of immigration is unprecedented. Using the past migrations from 5000 years ago to justify this rate of immigration is utter nonsense. People living today have a right to defend their homelands.
I have yet to hear anyone who says diversity is our strength produce an example. And I ask directly. It’s your country. You have every reason to expect imports to join the program and insist that they leave if they do not.
The way Starkey describes the modern approach of Britain to imports. It reminds me of the Gene Rodenberry approach. This worked on television, but does not work in real life.
I think when one has so much knowledge and intellect and at the same time is witnessing the chaos that Comrade Starmer is bringing to the UK, I would think he has so much to say he quite literally has to vomit his words out. A fountain of knowledge. Intellect that is sadly lacking in today's world.
The only thing Starkey incorrectly concluded in this incredible disection of the State of Britain is that it has not been done deliberately. The same governmental structures and societal phenomina are happening across the western world to a greater or lesser extent all at once, and virtually in lockstep.
When Tony Blair became Prime Minister, I had an American friend who said "I do like your Tony Blair". I smiled but I shuddered inside. I knew instinctively that there was going to be damage that our beautiful country would never recover from.
I had the privilege of seeing Dr Starkey speak 6 months ago - an incredible man who makes today's MPs look like intelletual pygmies. The ONLY way Britain can stop our demise is to elect Reform in 5 years.....unless the Conservatives can become Conservatives again and root out the liberals posing as Tories.
I sat next to DAVID Starkey on the Heathrow shuttle a few years back , I was wanting a chat , but discovered I was sitting in the wrong seat so lost my chance .....! Cheers DaveH Carnforth
Although David Starkey is a bit of a windbag I do like a good intellectual debate. Not sure what we solved here though. We need a visionary leader to drive the UK back in the right direction with a forward-looking optimistic outlook.
A total reflection of my point of view. I have been living in Thailand for ten years, and have no inclination to return to England. I miss a decent pint of bitter in a decent pub, but those things will soon be Starmered off the face of the Earth, anyway. Good luck to the rest of you!
As an Argentine, learn from our mistakes before it´s too late. It´s been 80 years and we have not stamped out Peronism. It is now dying, but it is not going down without a fight.
Did Starkey say he didn't like Welsh? His point was is it right to mandate it if it takes time away from the opportunity to learn others that are more desirable in the modern world like Mandarin, French etc. It's like mandating the Scots and Northern Irish learn Gaelic. Students in those countries have the opportunity to, but it's not mandatory.
I wish we here down under had such a treasure speaking out loud the truth so the gov will not go that smood implementing toxic neocon ideas that are going to destroy this beautiful land... shame
He makes many good points, but his ideas about Welsh education are idiocy. The Welsh language doesn’t hold back the children. I recently spoke to my daughters teacher and she explained that not only are the children behind the rest of Britain, but that it was ok that they were behind, as the children were happy and feel good about themselves, the children are kept completely in the dark about the fact they are falling behind and are instead told how wonderful they are doing. Secondly I was told that my daughters school is no longer teaching subjects individually, they all now fall under the heading of humanities, as such opinions and feelings are more important than being correct, including in maths and science. After this conversation I am now trying to save what I can so I can leave wales and go find a proper education for my daughter.
It may not mean much but I've been aware that if a child does not make sufficient progress in Welsh then the child is held back until it does. As someone who has difficulty in speaking my mother tongue let alone a second language I feel for the kids.
I like David Starkey but I certainly do not agree with him on the Welsh, in my (humble) opinion they are the true Brits of this island and have a very rich history that goes way back in time that has been deliberately suppressed, see the books written by Wilson and Blackett, and I speak as a Lancastrian Englishman.
@@homemaintenance1234 Empire was mainly Scots, with the Norman Irish and native Irish as the foot soldiers. Starkey, a man with little England values, was from a group that never partook in the Empire. It comes through in his desperate search for an identity.
My favourite fun fact about Wales is that it stems from an Anglo Saxon word for “foreigner” - when Angles, Saxons and Jutes started invading Britain after the Romans left, the indigenous Britons were pushed West into Wales, turning it into a land of “foreigners”
There will come a time when the focus will shift, not just towards culture but towards religion. Countries that have thrived for thousands of years are now facing these changes. While embracing progress and inclusivity is important, it's equally vital to preserve one’s identity and traditions. Striking a balance between the two is essential, or we may look back and regret losing a part of ourselves.
@@andrewhotston983 Some have Wales interest first. Others think carerr and Britshness first.. Neil Kinnock as a classic example who hated all thing welsh culture/language etc.

What an opinionated and pompous man. He claims that the poor quality of the Welsh education is due to Welsh language teaching. Firstly, most Welsh children do not go to Welsh speaking schools. Secondly, speaking two or more languages does not harm a child’s education as bilingual children tend to do better at school. On the contrary, such children are better able to consider multiple points of view and handle complex problems. In fact speaking multiple languages has been shown to improve health, increase longevity and reduce the incidence of dementia. And of course Welsh is part of the cultural heritage of Wales and its people.
LOL 'sheepshagger' ! Obviously and butt-hurt apparently ... And your argument for 'wasting teaching time on Welsh' / 'languages is good' is crap ! Imho 😉
I'm apt to agree with you. Perhaps he's trying to find blame but picked the wrong target. Many students "waste" their time learning to speak Latin and Greek, but we don't say that makes their scores worse. I would go as far to include wholly made up languages like Klingon or Elvish. Sure there isn't much practical use for the languages, but the same can be said of advanced particle physics.
@@StillAliveAndKicking_ The American universities are the same. Most students are there to get a better-paying job. The college is padding the credit hours so they can get as much money as possible out of the student. At the end of 4 years the student has a piece of paper saying they can do the job but isn't any better than the guy who has been working the job for 4 years. It's a bloated system that needs to be trimmed down.
@@jimbo9305 I believe Germany has a more rational system, with vocational training, where students learn useful skills. In Brirain degrees are mostly too abstract. People with media studies degrees working for the national minimum wage and owing huge university fees.
Professor Starkey would have done well in Serbia in the 1990s, when Yugoslavia was unravelling. Milosevič would have appointed him as his English language advocate.
Dr. Starkey's views on the Welsh language are ill-informed and the alleged consequences of the study of the language are certainly demanding of sceptical scrutiny. Nobody would suggest that studying French or German as a second language or Latin as a basis for the study of language itself would reduce the educational attainment of the student body. The problem is socialism, as manifested by the disasterous Welsh Labour Government that fundamentally rejects academic achievement as an aspiration for the young unless in the service of its political purpose.
He was being characteristically provocative, but it is fair to say that French and German are useful in ways that Welsh cannot be, and that Latin is a key element in many European languages and in medical and natural sciences. I don’t want Welsh to die out, but teaching it in school to kids from non-Welsh-speaking homes is not going to save it.
@@Louise-pe1un Greek is the key language in English. Greek is the language of medicine, the Greek alphabet in physics and maths, in chemistry, and around 10% of English is Greek in origin, and Greek is the language of the New Testament.
@@70AD-user45 OK then, Greek (I am taking what you say as correct, not being an expert but having found Latin a useful indicator in learning the Romance languages, and in deciphering botanical names). In any case, no one is forced to learn either Latin or Greek. Welsh should be available as an option, but making it a compulsory subject is unjustifiable. I agree with your other remarks though.
English children study and speak in English, this hasn't prevented great numbers of them from being academically poor. The problem does indeed lie singularly (but not exclusively) in the socialistic concepts of education, coupled with a popular culture that is militantly infantilised - in effect, leftism and consumerism working in an unholy alliance or pincer movement.
I’m glad you seem to deem it worthy of being saved at least. But I suppose the question raised by your statement is - how do you think it can be saved if it’s not taught in schools? As it happens, the Welsh language schools in Wales are amngst the most succsesful schools. Parents who’s children are learning Welsh are proud and happy that their children are reclaiming what they themselves were denied by their education back when Starkey’s idealised and Anglocentric Britain ignored three of its inconvenient, member nations.
Of course not, when your parent/s somehow arrived with you the immigration process was more logical and honest. You had until around age 30 to start seeing more illogical and dishonest policies hence the increasing of attracting more who live by the dehumanizing behaviors😓
Thank God for freedom of speech. Thank God for common sense. Thank God for historians and men who can look to the past to inform the decisions we need to take for the future we are praying for. Thank God for Dr David Starkey.
Interesting point about the man from Rwandan parents who ended those little girls. If he is welsh, and everyone who lives in wales is welsh, then it cant really be multicultural, as they say. If everyone there is welsh, then its a monoculture. So which is it, Lefties ? Is Wales multicultural or monocultural?
These guys beat around the bush for all this time and never grabbed the bull by the horn. The problem is the islamification and the islamists mentality. All other communities are and have adopted british values even after being discriminated by the natives for the longest time.

This is the first time I've seen KK's body language tense up and alter so noticeably during an interview. His jaw is set and his arms are folded for much of the conversation, and his usual open hand gestures are absent. Maybe he's just taking the subject matter very seriously here (note the lighting is also dimmed down more than usual in the Triggernometry studio), but he could just be increasingly uncomfortable with the depth of the shit we're in...
David makes many keen observations here, but the totality is slightly incoherent. He could do with committing his thoughts to paper in an attempt to order and prioritise them.

The ego is the programming that makes you unhappy and dissatisfied. The ego is just programming; it isn’t an entity, as many imagine-a little you inside your head-although it feels like that at times. The ego is the programming that shapes what the voice in your head says to you. By examining the voice in your head, you can get to know the ego.
This programming provides a way of perceiving life. It is a viewpoint-the ego’s viewpoint-and that viewpoint is deeply flawed. The ego doesn’t see life as it truly is. You are programmed to misperceive life. And you are programmed to try to fix what you perceive by doing and getting rather than by being: by looking within yourself and discovering what is actually true and, thereby, releasing yourself from the suffering caused by the ego’s misperceptions.
The ego is the programming that creates unhappiness and then offers solutions to that unhappiness.
The problem is that the solutions don’t work, at least not for long, not to mention that this programming is the cause of your suffering in the first place. Without the ego, you would be happy and content and kind to each other. The way to happiness, contentment, and love, therefore, is to see the truth about the programming, to see that it is false.
Seeing the truth about it is tricky, though, because you are programmed to believe your programming. Your programming seems true, and it is ingrained, automatic, and compelling. Your programming is very convincing! To discover the falseness of your programming, you have to be willing to examine it and question it. This is no small order; it can be quite scary to take this step. Questioning your programming is like questioning your very foundations.
Questioning the programming puts you on shaky ground. What will happen to you if you do?
But to become free of the programming, much more is needed. It isn’t enough to just be convinced that your programming is false, because the programming is still operating in every moment.
The programming doesn’t stop just because you have learned the truth about it. It continues as it always has.
For the programming to stop or not run you anymore, it has to be disassembled piece by piece. The false beliefs produced by the programming have to be seen as false, one by one, moment to moment. That is the work, and this is bound to take time.
This work requires that you be aware of the thoughts that run through your mind. And even that is not enough, for you also have to see that those thoughts are false and stop believing them. Then, there’s one more thing you have to do: Turn your attention to the present moment instead of the voice in your head.
So, breaking free from the programming involves four things:
1. Understanding that the voice in your head is the cause of suffering and that it is not your voice but the voice of your programming (that’s the easy part),
2. Becoming aware of the thoughts in the thought-stream, which I’ve been calling the voice in your head.
This awareness is developed in meditation,
3. Inquiring into the thoughts in the thought-stream that you still believe until you are convinced that they aren’t true, useful, or worthy of your attention, and
4. Turning your attention away from the realm of thought to real life, to the present moment. That ability to disengage from your thoughts is also developed in meditation.
Meditation is critical to this process. Meditation is the antidote to being caught up in the voice in your head and taking on its perceptions. Meditation develops the skills needed to disassemble the programming. Without a daily practice of meditation, the process of detaching from the voice in your head will take much longer, possibly lifetimes.
Meditation will accelerate your emotional and spiritual evolution like nothing else.

First trip to the UK was 2006. I stayed with English friends at Wandsworth.
From their flat, I walked all over London. The Tower, Imperial War Museum, Oxford St etc.
Had fish and chips in Pimlico with my mate , who immigrated to Australia and he did it the right way. Drank many pints of real ale, ate cumberland sausages and mash, caught the tube allover London, rode the double decker buses to. Did the whole tourist bit and felt my english and welsh heritage. Sadly I wont go back, the London I loved in 2006 has gone, corrupted by bad actors and political sycophants and I fear there is no end in sight. And my sense is Starmer will make it worse. Wake up England take your country back.
I hear you . I emigrated to Australia from the uk in the late 80s and try to visit family every couple of years. During this time I have sadly watched as the uk successive government have made mistake after after mistake hoping I was wrong. Everybody looks sad and angry. The streets look neglected and everything is very expensive. Last visit I witnessed racism like you wouldn’t believe and because an African lady wasn’t sure which bus to get on and was holding up the queue. Each visit it seems things are worse than before and everyone asks if I can take them back with me. I can’t believe what’s happened to the country of my birth that I still love dearly. Not saying that Oz is not having their own issues though but we are not far down that slippery slope so there’s still time to improve things.
No point in waking up. It is just too late. The simple mathematics of procreation has seen to that, and it will hit home with overwhelming force within 10 years.

Hey brothers .. an American here 🇺🇸.. England set the standard.. take it back.. there’s a whole lot of us over here across the pond that think very highly traditional England 🏴
God bless you Nathan
Not all of us here in the US have the same view as you about England; if anything, it was France that set the standards considering they eradicated the French monarch, and thanks to France the US gained its independence from the English
@@suntzu94 It was in part thanks to the public traditions we got from Britain that we were able to part company with King George without France's reign of terror, and kept much of the common law precedent instead of having something like the Napoleonic Code. And it was the French monarchy that helped us gain independence, not the French Republic (any of them), though certainly Lafayette had general revolutionary or at least reform notions when he served in the Continental Army. It can hardly be maintained that the elimination of the French monarchy IMMEDIATELY brought about an improvement and advancement of liberty in France or in Europe, much less that it did us any tangible good. And the revolutionary government imprisoned Lafayette and Thomas Paine. While Napoleon conveniently sold us the Louisiana Purchase, he is hardly the champion of liberty he cosplayed as (when he wasn't cosplaying as emperor).
Certainly the ideas behind the US Constitution in general and the Bill of Rights in particular find their source in the traditions of the rights of Englishmen, the Magna Carta, and English common law, though I assert we helped the tradition along. If we hadn't provided a relatively benign example of representative government, the UK might well have reacted differently to the French Revolution, if any.
@@digitalnomad9985 How much help did Napoleon give the US colonists, or did you skip that chapter? The US is a republic just like France, the forefather of the US.

Dr David Starkey. Genius historian. Listen to this man. He is steeped in brilliance and wisdom. He knows history and its consequences.
I love David Starkey! He makes the BEST docs about the English monarchies!
They struck him down and he came back more powerful than they could possibly imagine.
There's only one monarchy in the UK. And that one's missing in action.
Imagine the world if we had leaders with his this mans wit and intelligence.. instead of the mediocre pickings we have now.
But there have been many British Monarchs. Leave the King and Princess of Wales alone. Cancer and it's treatments are terribly debilitating. I wouldn't wish it on you or yours...where's your empathy?@@AndyJarman

Dr Starkey is a rare intellectual treasure. And a knowledgeable historian.He explains everything we need to know.
“Tolerance is another word for indifference.”
- W. Somerset Maugham
Indifference sums up the Tory Mentality
Ie The Money
The Paradox of Tolerance
“Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."
Karl Popper
Tolerance and apathy are the last virtues of a dying society.

6:17 as a Welsh speaking Welshman I have to massively disagree with Starkey here. Learning Welsh in school was culturally very important for understanding Welsh identity and heritage. You lot can have Stonehenge and your Westminster Abbey, we’ll keep our language alive.
As an Englishman, I couldn’t agree more. The preservation of Scottish, Welsh, and Irish heritage, is fundamentally important to our British identity, and the identity of the Welsh as a nation. I’m sure Starkey would agree English culture is unique to the other British nations, so too is Welsh culture.
@@gg-sr9lq While I appreciate the sentiment, the overwhelming majority of actual Irish people, not your confused tourists in the North, resent our heritage being included in this conversation. We are not part of the British identity and have told you in a variety of different ways on numerous different occasions. That does not mean we would be happy to see yours replaced with an "Asian" or PanAfrican" identity and have no interest in speaking with most of your new inhabitants or ours.
The point he is making is that the Welsh get to be Welsh, the Scottish get to be Scottish, the English get to be British and pay for it all in statutory silence as any invocation of Englishness is immediately racist, homophobic, sexist, misogynistic, and of course transphobic. I mean really add you own buzzwords at this point and it will be taken for granted and added to the received wisdom.
He's literally said exactly the same thing. Go rewatch that last and actually listen this time, instead of instantly deciding what you heard and getting butthurt.
He’s agreeing with you - try actually listening to the talk
DAVID STARKEY is just....such a WONDERFUL English treasure!!!! His knowledge of history and British politics is amazing! And he explains everything so well!! I agree 100% with everything he said. These 20s will be very hard for our great nation. Starmer will see to that.
Superb episode Konstantin!!! ❤❤❤
British politics 😂 did you not listen to the words of Mr Starkey
Westminster is an English parliament dealing with English issues
English and Scottish politics are very different because they have different problems
As a woman in my 70's I went through the horror of that period in the 1970's under the whip of Labour and the crass ineptitude of the Tories before them. Lights out across London, unions taking us all to the cleaners because they were marxist and they didn't give a fk about people . Political ideology was all they cared about. My aspirations coming out of school were maimed by these idiots. Now I have witnessed the coming storm and I saw the Labour party coming into power after the gross negligence of the Tories I knew what we were in for. God I despise the lot of them but I really despise Labour and Tony Blair trying to wrest as much power as he could away from parliament and the people.The labour party really are the worst authoratarians.
Also in my 70s with the same memories. I'm bracing for a 'winter of discontent' mk 2 with additional servings of racial conflict and further breakdown of law and order.
Totally agree. But they are all so good at the game. This guy is an ass as well. Just saying. Maybe Englands time of greed and power is also up????
It was Johnson that tried to prorogue parliament
What a load of rubbish
What you don’t understand as we were poor in the 70s as we not part of the EU we became richer while part of bad sadly the old people are stupid and voted us out
Thank you for this amazing interview. As an American I never cease to be bewildered by the richness and obscurity of English and British history. I find it marvelously impenetrable to anyone who, like me, was not exposed to it in my American educational upbringing. Nevertheless, being exposed to these in depth interviews with great British professors is slowly but surely increasing my grasp of English history which is so deeply but obscurely imbedded in our American cultural and political identity, post-1775.
This was my first exposure to the historical intricacies and cultural impacts of the 1707 union, and what uniquely is the British concept of cultural "diversity" of "Britishness". As Americans, we are bemused by the modern politics of four different "countries", Northern Irish, Welsh, Scottish, and English. To us it is a sort of archaic, monolithically Euro-Causian, ethnic identity crisis worthy of jovial good natured pub ribbing, but not much more. Apparently that is a superficial American misunderstanding of the real situation. So, I'm acqiring a deeper understanding of how all this works in conjunction with the post-Tony Blair complication superimposed upon the very real contemporary challenges of mass immigration from non-European cultures. You've got a real problem on your hands, mates!
Can you get hold of some of the dramatistations of history? DVD? The White Queen is excellent.
David is correct on most things but the collapse of education in Wales has nothing to do with the Welsh language. Most children in Wales don’t attend a Welsh medium school and Welsh medium schools generally perform better than their English medium counterparts. The collapse of education in Wales is 100% down to Welsh Labour.
yes I agree 👍🏴
Obviously, who else
he is wrong about wanting DIEversity in our countries it always leads to ethnic and civil wars boomers live in a different world from the younger generations.
Yeah, he definitely assumed correlation implying causality there. Welsh has always been taught and the standard was better so it’s definitely not a language issue.
He just means if you spend time learning X you spend lest time learning Y. And Y might be more useful overall. Might. There is choice.
Starkey's comments about how the Working Class used to be reminded me of my own family, and how I grew up knowing that the working classes cared very much about being respectable, & were active in their local community. My late father was born in Bermondsey (South London) in 1926. His own father was a clerk in a women's corsetry factory. He & his wife were stalwarts of the local Methodist Chapel, & grandfather was an alderman on the Bermondsey Council. His own father drove a water cart, so Grandfather had bettered himself. In turn, my father went to a grammar school in New Cross (& later read Physics at New College Oxford). A huge social elevation across 3 generations. My father made a real point of letting me know that his mother always had a fresh tablecloth each day, and never put a milk bottle on the table. His parents had Standards.
@loisetrott5532, Unfortunately today, the standards have dropped so much they are nearly in the gutter. My family weren't wealth off at all, but there were standards. My sibling and myself were raised with good manners, and politeness. We were taught to say Mr or Mrs or Miss to people. My dad was a labourer, but before going out even if it was to take us to the park, he would wash and put on a pair of trousers, shirt and tie, and sometimes a hat. His shoes were polished everyday, to a shine you could use as a mirror. Unfortunately, discipline and standards are a thing of the past. I raised my child with the same standards.
@@christinepage181 Well said, Christine. Without standards it’s ’a race to the bottom’.
How can you have the whole country on benefits?
@Aurelian7736 well, if you Norway, you nationalize the oil industry and use.that to.pay for everything.
New Cross has been terrifying since 1980. I wonder what it was like when your father went to school there? Haberdashers?
THANK YOU for allowing Dr. Starkey to speak without interuption.
Not sure it was a choice!
"If you sacrifice freedom for security, you lose both"... Wow... That's a sobering thought...

Benjamin Franklin said, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety".
Very glad Starkley noted that, it’s one of the reasons why American patriots have remained defenders of the American Constitution and why we carry that history with us today. Keep in mind that we do love the Brits and have put the past behind us that we enjoy each other’s company (till a minor difference makes us tease each other) many Americans who have studied the concept of the nation have made certain to learn the lessons from the past, so wisdom like this is passed down generations to reflect and understand to not put your trust in an institution that can easily override their authority.
It’s what happened during Covid
A nation with large numbers of immigrants cannot have identification with an historical continuity as a unifying factor and this was recognized in Sweden when a government decree abolished Swedish history. The decree states the since large sections of the Swedish people do not have a common history this can no longer be a unifying factor and instead being Swedish today means identifying with a common set of values. The problem for Sweden is that large sections of the Swedish people do not have a common set of values either and the once ethnically homogeneous and peaceful Sweden is disintegrating in rampant crime and chaos.
Sweden was the first country to commit national suicide. My friends there will not even let their daughters out in the streets. Sweden was killed by its own tolerance.
It’s what happens when you import the most conservative misogynistic homophobic Iron Age people into your modern liberal western country- and force it on your people!
You voted for it Sweden , now deal with it!
What a beautiful nation Sweden once was. It's a tragic shame they've disintegrated in the chaos of multiculturalism.
@@70AD-user45 It is tragic what has happened to Sweden. I lived and worked in Sweden in the early 1970's, I learned the language and loved the country and it's people. Sweden was beyond doubt the best country in Europe, the Swedes called it the Folkhemmet, People's home, and it really was, it was safe, clean, friendly and peaceful with very little crime and a well functioning health service and welfare state. I visited Sweden regularly over the years and watched the slow decline but I've not been back there for about four years or so, decades of mass immigration have destroyed what was once a fantastic country. It is incredible but the Swedes did it to themselves, they opened their borders and let the third world flood into their country in massive numbers and now the best country in Europe is no more.
This is basically just christian universalist ideology at play nothing really new. Once you replace thinks like race with vague concepts like "the human soul" or "human rights" you're basically doomed as a civilization.
I love this man. Real patriot giving a positive story of the UK'S contribution to the modern world. We have nothing to be ashamed of, much to be poud of. Thank you David.
I've really enjoyed that. David Starkey is the best person I have come across who is able to explain 'Englishness/The English Question'. This is because it has been ignored for far too long in our state education 'system', and by our political and media class. Whilst there are some issues upon which I disagree with Dr Starkey, I will defend to the death his right to say it! Thanks to both Dr Starkey and the Triggernometry team for posting this fascinating conversation. Peace.

@@xyork all without thinking.
Yes he's a dinosaur
Listening to David Starkey's discourse ( and it's always a discourse, irrespective of who interviews him) always takes me back to the 1970s and my days as a 'perennial student,' being schooled in British social and economic history by an extraordinarily learned but generous scholar; and taught the principles of the British Constitution by two, old school ( 'Queen and country'), card-carrying members of the Labour Party; and finally, tutored by Dr. Spence in the labyrinthine subject of Modern World History.
Such gifted teachers whose knowledge and understanding were unsurpassed. Halcyon days indeed.
Such an honest and heart felt speech- very rare. Much is also true. Wonderfully felt, without any shame
No single word about the City of London being the main disruptor of Great Britain, leaving the whole country at the financial mercy to their private interests?? 🤔
He'll be accused of antisemitism. Banking, plunging nations into debt slavery, and open boarders, is a by word for antisemitism. Action Français, a right wing French Party, tried to make the same claims during the interwar years. It ended up backing Hitler.
Bingo. This comment should be pinned.
Platforms like this are the disrupters of life and stir the shit melting pot by deflecting the attention away from the very powerful establishment that runs the world. I’m sure they get paid handsomely too for it
I understand what Dr Starkey is saying wholeheartedly.
I am an immigrant and naturalised citizen of France.
I hopped through the hoops of interviews with officials, quizzing you on the French political system and history. I am quite happy of how it went and I learned a lot especially about the politics and the functioning of the republic.
It also helps I volunteer a lot and deliberately took french courses.
This was my experience and if everyone goes through this, I think the integration into French society should be smooth sailing.
He's absolutely right about the importance of encouraging people to visit Westminster Abbey. Not just for the architecture and history but understanding who we are and where we've come from. Monarchy, music, poetry, literature, sciences. It should be mandatory for every school in this country to visit it. It is that thought provoking and awe inspiring. Yet it doesn't even make the top 10 of London landmark visitors per year.
Very bright and articulate bloke! And he is still just one of us, a regular, solid Brit!

Forty odd years ago, I remember wise folk explicitly warning of the extreme dangers of big government.
Ironically it was Thatcher that expanded the State
@@Sean-p3o Cling to the Thatcher bogey-(wo)man delusion all you like but you shouldn't spread misinformation. The NHS was created under Attlee's Labour govt in 1948. From wiki " The Labour Party had won a landslide victory at the 1945 general election, and went on to enact policies of what became known as the post-war consensus, including the establishment of the welfare state and the nationalisation of 20 percent of the entire economy."
The big danger to me is 'detached' government, wherein the government ignores the wishes of its own people.
@@dpstrial Which is what is meant by big government by the above poster.

Starkey is, of course, correct, but all this has been obvious for many years. He does make a good point about Starmer being the ultimate embodiment of the vile, corrupt, disaster that is the British state, but when Labour won in July, I too sensed that they represented the end point.
Isn’t it sad? At one time the Labour Party represented something so great. Now it’s so confused.
@@LlyleHunter Not confused. It has clearly become the party of the elites, sneering with contempt at everyone else.

We must listen to our elders. Starkey is a national treasure. I very much enjoy his audiobooks because hearing his own words in his voice is even better than reading them
Education outside the classroom. I very much enjoyed this session because it brought back moments when my father was giving me things to live by. I have treasured those moments ❤ thank you.
David, i have three adorable first generation migrant grandchild, through adoption.
I at first instinctively and then consciously have done just has you suggested. I have sought to make them aware of our history and our nature and to love it as i do. I beleive it has been a success until they hit secondary school. I shudder to think what they are being told about me and my ancestors. The eldest is the " diversity monitor " and instead of melting into our way of life they become evermore aware of their blackness and being African .
Until we legislate to end DEI, Critical Race Theory in schools and Universities , integration and adoption and love of our country is a steep up hill battle.
The most relevant political movement of yesteryear that implemented race theories were the Nazis who are the historical counterparts of today's transnationalists socialists/globalists socio-fascists with their Third Worldism agenda and their secular Hegelian religion/cultism (known as wokeness here in the US).
This woke education system is corrupting our children. Please do your best to stop those kids from believing in everything woke! Those kids will be the future of Britain. Think about that!,
My advice to you is to make them laugh . Get them to laugh at the stupidity . The woke have no defence against humour .
That's the issue, you need to enforce ethics and history, not expect the state to end it, you must end it. There is nothing strong about being a weak victim, which is what DEI promotes.
You see this with a lot of new immigrants or first gen immigrants now.
Their heads are in the east but their bodies are here in the west.
It’s okay to have pride in your ancestry and heritage but it’s becoming more common to put your ancestral homeland above the UK in the pecking order, even if they’ve never visited because they were born here.
Bizarre.

Ha, you jest. We shall not be building anything much in the coming years.
Not with these interest rates.
David speaks so much sense, you can't argue, yet, many English and many immigrants, really don't understand English history. No country in this world has made anywhere near such important discoveries as Great Britain. Britain is responsible for nearly every one of the top 20 discoveries in this world.
No country in this world has given us all the sciences we all take for granted today, they all came from Great Britain. Science, itself, is indeed British. Sir Isaac Newton: The father of physics, and considered to be the father of all sciences, by science itself.
Robert Boyle: the father of Chemistry.
William Gilbert: the father of Electricity and Magnetism.
Ernest Rutherford: the father of Nuclear Physics.
Adam Sedgwick: the father of modern geology.
Charles Babbage: the father of the Computer.
John Cockcroft: the genius who first split the atom.
James Chadwick: with the discovery of the neutron.
Michael Faraday: the genius that discovered Electromagnetic Induction.
John Dalton: the discovery of the Atom, and the writer of the Modern Atomic Theory.
John Thomson: the discovery of the Electron.
Charles Darwin: with the Origin of Species.
Stephen Hawking: the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics.
I could keep going, for many more pages, … Or even books.
No other country in the world, has given the world medicines that are responsible for billions of people living today, (There's approx 8.2 billion on earth) Alexander Fleming changed the world of medicine. His invention/discovery of “Penicillin” is said to be responsible for the survival of over 6.5 billion people to date. British medical achievements, started all we know today.
No other country in the world comes anywhere near inventing things that we all use every day. No other country in the world comes even remotely close. The British Invented the Jet engine, T.V, Telephone, Train, Penicillin, Computer, Hovercraft, Vertical Take Off Landing aircraft, LCD, Tanks, The World Wide Web, etc, etc... look at the history of each of them?, a person from this little island lay at the heart of the device. - I could keep going! Britain is responsible for an astonishing 54%, of all worldly inventions.
Britain is also responsible for an enormous 61% of all modern day military invention. The chances are, if you were to look up any random piece of military hardware, there's a 2/3 chance it will be a British invention.
No other country in this world has stood up, and fought for the people's freedom, and preventing the whole world from falling into the dark ages of tyranny as Britain. Britain is the only country in the world, that has always stood up and fought against every attempt at tyranny in our world's modern history.
So many times throughout history, Great Britain saved Europe, not only in WW2, but many times before. With the defeat of Napoleon, being just one. Great Britain, with Prussian support, defeated Napoleon, he defeated everyone else (Russia aside).
Spain, the world's global superpower of the times, sent an enormous Armada to come and crush us on this little Island, to punish us, for stealing all of their stolen gold, but ended up sunk, destroyed, and wiped out, old wrecks, littering the Scottish and Irish coastline, annihilated in other words.
Who stood up, alone, to the Nazi might? Not anyone else, no, only Britain (and her commonwealth). Hitler steam rolled over Europe, defeating them all with such ease, until he came up against this tiny Island (you could fit into the USA over 40 times, and into Russia over 70 times).

The stark difference of when I last visited with a sense of reverence and pride as a young man from the Antipodes to the utter 3rd world hot mess that Britain has become is heartbreaking and a living example of empire collapse in less than a generation.
This notion that we have lost autonomy at work is so true. I've been in sales most of my working life and when I first started I was simply given some basic training and a target and it was up to me decide how I was going to achieve it. It enabled me to think for myself and essentially only the best survived in the industry. Wind forward 35 years and I am now micromanaged to a ludicrous degree by bosses who don't seem to have a clue how sales works, have no regard for my experience and in many cases have never even done the job. The end result is a sales force full of people who spend most of their time trying to meet targets for things that have no impact on sales and who just become demoralised and stressed. Thankfully I only have another year to go!
The Welsh language is the DNA of Welsh culture. Not being Welsh, I am not in the least surprised that he failed to appreciate this. Furthermore, the 'failure' of Welsh children is not due to the Welsh language. I taught in Wales for 14 years, and I can confirm that my colleagues in schools across the bridge were privy to significantly higher budgets than we were in Wales. Larger budgets = better resources and smaller class sizes = better results. Shame on him for even having the gaul to suggest it's the Welsh language. Other than that, he's spot on with most of what he says.
What a condescending asshole.
Agreed!👍🏴🏴

You are a teacher who cannot spell gall - I think you just inadvertently. explained why the results are so bad.
Welsh is a bunch of gibberish.
I love listening to this man . His grasp of the current situation is profound. He cuts through all the smoke and mirrors.
The problem is WHO is being imported. You'd never have such massive issues with other populations than those specific demographic groups... mainly ANY muslim group and ANY sub-saharan group, the patterns are the same all over the world and the numbers like crime stats eerily similar.
Islam, mainly, needs to go, period. And as long as we havent' realised that, we'll keep banging our heads against the wall. Not all cultures, nor beliefs systems, nor ideologies are equal and some need to be treated as the danger they factually pose.

The people who profit from our misery don't care if we hate each other or love each other. They just want us to all work for nothing so they can have their billions. We're nothing but numbers to them. As he said British values have never existed its a gigantic lie told by the same people that peddle us for modern day slavery whilst simultaneously slaying the very soul of what makes Britain, Britain = England, Wales, Scottish, Irish identities, these use to mean something to the power that once pulled the string, now they're just an obstacle for total globalist domination. Remember when they use to call people crazy for believing in the Illuminati and the NWO?? (1 world government) it's literally happening before our eyes, I also do think they're not against turning us into a Muslim nation as long as their pockets are still lined with gold and silver like the judas c&$%s they are.
To make matters worse, is they want to take us to war to fight for this, when the majority DON'T WANT IT. We're living through the end of the western empire.
@DavidStarkey always has something interesting to say! Never tire of listening to him. Shame he was cancelled by the mainstream media and why his documentaries are no longer shown on TV or BBC.
Evidence that the mainstream media are working against the best interests of the people.
Why was he cancelled?
I speak Welsh fluently. And I find it quite useful.
While I don't think the top-down imposition of the language is the best use of our time and energy, that isn't to say it's useless. It wouldn't have survived this long if it was. It's not as if its existence and adoption over time has been solely dependent on the government propping it up. After all, there was a long time when the opposite was true. People speak it because they want to!
I think it's a shame that one of the clearest advocates of conservatism seems so eager to dismiss an entire language. After all, like all languages, Welsh is an evolved cultural artifact that embodies the history, identity and experiences of its people over centuries. British people, no less.
As I understand conservatism, the idea is that our traditions should be revered, in part, because they contain knowledge and serve important societal functions that we may not even know about explicitly. Rejecting them out of hand, or making too many changes to them too quickly, runs the risk of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
So, as a Welsh speaker and proud Briton, I say to Starkey: What we have is not nothing.
Outside of Wales it is completely and utterly useless. The time would be better spent learning Spanish, mandarin or French
@DJRockford83 People who choose to speak a particular language don't necessarily do so because it travels well. There are countless other possible reasons to learn a language.
If you're talking about compulsory education, I can see your argument. I imagine compulsory Welsh lessons in English-medium schools in Wales put most pupils off it entirely. Of course, that's true of many subjects.
Note that all secondary schools in Wales (as far as I'm aware) offer either French, German, or Spanish.
I'm English that has lived in Wales and good knowledge of the language, Starkey got it wrong here I think he's too angry to see the wood from the trees on this one even if what he's trying to convey holds water - Englishness is nothing to a lot.
I'm on your side 100% I intend to move back to Wales and become fully fluent. Your culture matters bud.
This was the one point where i too disagreed with Starkey, losing any living language is irreversible, but to lose one of our nations' own is unacceptable! i'm English...
Yes, I agree. He also threw unemployed people under the bus too. Like they sit around and do nothing? Sit in the lounge and watch tv with a pint of larger?
A lot of people, especially women (older women) are out in the community doing free labour. Volunteering their time in community groups. Yes, some of it is just 15 hours a week, A lot of it is much more time, much unrecognized, a lot unacknowledged.
I think he is a bit of a wind bag. 😕
When the blaze in Moscow subsided on September 18, 1812, the French-who had traveled hundreds of miles into Russia-were left without vital resources. As a result Napoleon turned them back around and they left the land. Food for thought.

He wants to somehow parlay that into English citizenship. And one thing he would love to do is to go to the BBC proms and listen to rule Britannia, what is it about England?
Love it. English is an ethnic identity.
This is the core idea. The left rejects it for you. But not for other groups, who are absolutely entitled to value their own ethnic and cultural identities. It’s very clear and straightforward once you see it. No leftist can explain or escape this contradiction.
What does it matter? Because when yoir kids kids talk they can say US the English have been conquered and our parents gave away our lands to non white people because of their weakness and white guilt ?
@@avengemybreath3084All White lands are being handed over to non whites via the white guilt push ! White ppl refuse to wake up ! They so desperately want to be liked
@@avengemybreath3084 Well-being is far more than GDP. Anyone who thinks that preserving ethnic heritage and identity is unjustified are merely woke sheep or anti-European. This scale of immigration is unprecedented. Using the past migrations from 5000 years ago to justify this rate of immigration is utter nonsense. People living today have a right to defend their homelands.
It is also a language and a nationality.
I have yet to hear anyone who says diversity is our strength produce an example. And I ask directly.
It’s your country. You have every reason to expect imports to join the program and insist that they leave if they do not.
The way Starkey describes the modern approach of Britain to imports. It reminds me of the Gene Rodenberry approach. This worked on television, but does not work in real life.
What's even more hilarious is when they do answer and say "food". Lmao

I think when one has so much knowledge and intellect and at the same time is witnessing the chaos that Comrade Starmer is bringing to the UK, I would think he has so much to say he quite literally has to vomit his words out.
A fountain of knowledge.
Intellect that is sadly lacking in today's world.
It's actually quite irritating... great points, but sheesh!
@@nbo9026 its seems
The only thing Starkey incorrectly concluded in this incredible disection of the State of Britain is that it has not been done deliberately.
The same governmental structures and societal phenomina are happening across the western world to a greater or lesser extent all at once, and virtually in lockstep.
When Tony Blair became Prime Minister, I had an American friend who said "I do like your Tony Blair". I smiled but I shuddered inside. I knew instinctively that there was going to be damage that our beautiful country would never recover from.
Yeah but the country and economy were humming under Blair. It's the 15 years of tory rule thereafter that decimated it.
Blair, yes. Have some vague recollection that when he retired from politics, his organisation was going to work to bring peace to the Middle East.
I had the privilege of seeing Dr Starkey speak 6 months ago - an incredible man who makes today's MPs look like intelletual pygmies. The ONLY way Britain can stop our demise is to elect Reform in 5 years.....unless the Conservatives can become Conservatives again and root out the liberals posing as Tories.
If you think that the "only" way, you must have really miserable life.
100% agree
I sat next to DAVID Starkey on the Heathrow shuttle a few years back , I was wanting a chat , but discovered I was sitting in the wrong seat so lost my chance .....! Cheers DaveH Carnforth
Although David Starkey is a bit of a windbag I do like a good intellectual debate. Not sure what we solved here though. We need a visionary leader to drive the UK back in the right direction with a forward-looking optimistic outlook.
Bang on
I’ll vote for them! Let me know when they arrive 😂
A total reflection of my point of view. I have been living in Thailand for ten years, and have no inclination to return to England. I miss a decent pint of bitter in a decent pub, but those things will soon be Starmered off the face of the Earth, anyway. Good luck to the rest of you!
Can't get enough of David Starkey.
If anyone is a “minority” worldwide it’s English people
As an Argentine, learn from our mistakes before it´s too late. It´s been 80 years and we have not stamped out Peronism. It is now dying, but it is not going down without a fight.
I can never hear enough from Dr Starkey.
Tolkien was an expert on language, much more so than David Starkey. Tolkien loved the Welsh language.
FACTS
Right. His nonsense re bronze-age languages was a disappointingly tiresome old saw.
He’s an English supremacist and that’s fine. But he knows England is falling and he can’t handle it.
After all the orks spoke it
Did Starkey say he didn't like Welsh? His point was is it right to mandate it if it takes time away from the opportunity to learn others that are more desirable in the modern world like Mandarin, French etc. It's like mandating the Scots and Northern Irish learn Gaelic. Students in those countries have the opportunity to, but it's not mandatory.
It is an absolute pleasure listening to David Starkey and I hope he has plenty more years left. Man is a legend and a true Englishman.
Somebody telling the truth. Gotta love it,
The most important thing David says “we are very close to becoming Argentina 🇦🇷 “. 100% accurate
Very true Britain has 2.8 trilion government debt 100 Bilion government deficit per year 60 bilion trade deficit 😂😂😂😂
David Starkey is a national treasure.
I wish we here down under had such a treasure speaking out loud the truth so the gov will not go that smood implementing toxic neocon ideas that are going to destroy this beautiful land... shame
He makes many good points, but his ideas about Welsh education are idiocy. The Welsh language doesn’t hold back the children.
I recently spoke to my daughters teacher and she explained that not only are the children behind the rest of Britain, but that it was ok that they were behind, as the children were happy and feel good about themselves, the children are kept completely in the dark about the fact they are falling behind and are instead told how wonderful they are doing.
Secondly I was told that my daughters school is no longer teaching subjects individually, they all now fall under the heading of humanities, as such opinions and feelings are more important than being correct, including in maths and science.
After this conversation I am now trying to save what I can so I can leave wales and go find a proper education for my daughter.
It may not mean much but I've been aware that if a child does not make sufficient progress in Welsh then the child is held back until it does. As someone who has difficulty in speaking my mother tongue let alone a second language I feel for the kids.
@kevincasey5035not true. Just false
I like David Starkey but I certainly do not agree with him on the Welsh, in my (humble) opinion they are the true Brits of this island and have a very rich history that goes way back in time that has been deliberately suppressed, see the books written by Wilson and Blackett, and I speak as a Lancastrian Englishman.
Thank you
Homemaintence is a Welsh expert apparently, a man with little dick syndrome, and a coward, but expert on the Welsh
@@homemaintenance1234 Wales was the world’s first industrialised country. England needed Welsh resources. It’s a partnership.
@@homemaintenance1234 Empire was mainly Scots, with the Norman Irish and native Irish as the foot soldiers. Starkey, a man with little England values, was from a group that never partook in the Empire. It comes through in his desperate search for an identity.
My favourite fun fact about Wales is that it stems from an Anglo Saxon word for “foreigner” - when Angles, Saxons and Jutes started invading Britain after the Romans left, the indigenous Britons were pushed West into Wales, turning it into a land of “foreigners”
There will come a time when the focus will shift, not just towards culture but towards religion. Countries that have thrived for thousands of years are now facing these changes. While embracing progress and inclusivity is important, it's equally vital to preserve one’s identity and traditions. Striking a balance between the two is essential, or we may look back and regret losing a part of ourselves.
Time to abolish devolution, the Supreme Court and all other Blairite manifestations.

No ads at all watching but I am in the Carribbean so maybe that’s why???
What an opinionated and pompous man. He claims that the poor quality of the Welsh education is due to Welsh language teaching. Firstly, most Welsh children do not go to Welsh speaking schools. Secondly, speaking two or more languages does not harm a child’s education as bilingual children tend to do better at school. On the contrary, such children are better able to consider multiple points of view and handle complex problems. In fact speaking multiple languages has been shown to improve health, increase longevity and reduce the incidence of dementia. And of course Welsh is part of the cultural heritage of Wales and its people.
LOL 'sheepshagger' ! Obviously and butt-hurt apparently ...
And your argument for 'wasting teaching time on Welsh' / 'languages is good' is crap !
Imho 😉
I'm apt to agree with you. Perhaps he's trying to find blame but picked the wrong target. Many students "waste" their time learning to speak Latin and Greek, but we don't say that makes their scores worse. I would go as far to include wholly made up languages like Klingon or Elvish. Sure there isn't much practical use for the languages, but the same can be said of advanced particle physics.
@@jimbo9305 Our education system serves universities, subjects are designed to create university fodder. We could teach more useful skills.
@@StillAliveAndKicking_ The American universities are the same. Most students are there to get a better-paying job. The college is padding the credit hours so they can get as much money as possible out of the student. At the end of 4 years the student has a piece of paper saying they can do the job but isn't any better than the guy who has been working the job for 4 years.
It's a bloated system that needs to be trimmed down.
@@jimbo9305 I believe Germany has a more rational system, with vocational training, where students learn useful skills. In Brirain degrees are mostly too abstract. People with media studies degrees working for the national minimum wage and owing huge university fees.
Professor Starkey would have done well in Serbia in the 1990s, when Yugoslavia was unravelling. Milosevič would have appointed him as his English language advocate.
Dr. Starkey's views on the Welsh language are ill-informed and the alleged consequences of the study of the language are certainly demanding of sceptical scrutiny. Nobody would suggest that studying French or German as a second language or Latin as a basis for the study of language itself would reduce the educational attainment of the student body. The problem is socialism, as manifested by the disasterous Welsh Labour Government that fundamentally rejects academic achievement as an aspiration for the young unless in the service of its political purpose.
He was being characteristically provocative, but it is fair to say that French and German are useful in ways that Welsh cannot be, and that Latin is a key element in many European languages and in medical and natural sciences. I don’t want Welsh to die out, but teaching it in school to kids from non-Welsh-speaking homes is not going to save it.
@@Louise-pe1un
Greek is the key language in English. Greek is the language of medicine, the Greek alphabet in physics and maths, in chemistry, and around 10% of English is Greek in origin, and Greek is the language of the New Testament.
@@70AD-user45 OK then, Greek (I am taking what you say as correct, not being an expert but having found Latin a useful indicator in learning the Romance languages, and in deciphering botanical names). In any case, no one is forced to learn either Latin or Greek. Welsh should be available as an option, but making it a compulsory subject is unjustifiable.
I agree with your other remarks though.
English children study and speak in English, this hasn't prevented great numbers of them from being academically poor. The problem does indeed lie singularly (but not exclusively) in the socialistic concepts of education, coupled with a popular culture that is militantly infantilised - in effect, leftism and consumerism working in an unholy alliance or pincer movement.
I’m glad you seem to deem it worthy of being saved at least. But I suppose the question raised by your statement is - how do you think it can be saved if it’s not taught in schools? As it happens, the Welsh language schools in Wales are amngst the most succsesful schools. Parents who’s children are learning Welsh are proud and happy that their children are reclaiming what they themselves were denied by their education back when Starkey’s idealised and Anglocentric Britain ignored three of its inconvenient, member nations.

Thank God for freedom of speech. Thank God for common sense. Thank God for historians and men who can look to the past to inform the decisions we need to take for the future we are praying for. Thank God for Dr David Starkey.
I'm very grateful for his appearance. Thanks for the video.
Interesting point about the man from Rwandan parents who ended those little girls. If he is welsh, and everyone who lives in wales is welsh, then it cant really be multicultural, as they say. If everyone there is welsh, then its a monoculture. So which is it, Lefties ? Is Wales multicultural or monocultural?

Correct
I wouldn’t say all have at all.
what about the 8lacks. try living amongst n1gerians. worse than musl1m5
You haven't even listened to what Starkey said because the whole video was about how British identity itself lacks content.

I love Starkey. Very proud of my namesake and English heritage.
Konstantin Kisin withered when David opened with there are no Great Britain values - there are English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish...THIS man is a historian and knows his subject and the history of the part of world of which he speaks. Unlike your previous guest.
This is the first time I've seen KK's body language tense up and alter so noticeably during an interview. His jaw is set and his arms are folded for much of the conversation, and his usual open hand gestures are absent. Maybe he's just taking the subject matter very seriously here (note the lighting is also dimmed down more than usual in the Triggernometry studio), but he could just be increasingly uncomfortable with the depth of the shit we're in...
Konstantin kisin is a foreigner - it's difficult for him to absorb the depth of what Starkey asserted from the start.
David makes many keen observations here, but the totality is slightly incoherent. He could do with committing his thoughts to paper in an attempt to order and prioritise them.
England went bust in the 1970s. Scottish oil kept them afloat.
