Thank you.

I have already 'subscribed' to Laurence's channel, thank you.

I agree, a rear jewel. The wokes don't like him a bit, however.

I loved the bit about Queen Mary 🙂

Your comment was beautifully expressed and absolutely right. Elizabeth the Great was our last link with our past and the last embodiment of previous generations' honour and duty. Losing her has hurt more than we expected, not least because it seemed somehow she was immortal.

Thank you for your words. God save King Charles. God preserve the United Kingdom, the greatest nation under Heaven.

@@missinkling Yes, you are right.

@@zaygezunt Very well said.

Yes, I agree completely. Well written. Queen Elizabeth was living history, a part of who we were and remain. On hearing of her passing and like many others, dazed yet knew that it would happen due to sadly her years. I felt personally I'd lost someone who I'd known all my live but never knew, if that makes sense. I cried tears. She represented more to each of us than we ever imagined. That to me is the power of her reign and how she conducted herself within that. I am so glad I witnessed the eternal Queen Elizabeth.

Quite. I don't know how you make a fascinating subject like history boring, but many teachers manage it.

And what is so wrong with that when to to be 'woke' in my opinion is to have common decency. Its a very small consolation though because I do think the Royal Family is out of place in today's modern society and needs to be got rid of. Their wealth and various properties and palaces also sicken me and need to be destroyed. This country desperately needs a Revolution. It needs a Socialist Republic in fact.

I think he doesn't recognise the political nature of his great causes which are advocated as much by his son and by his parents - climate as crisis is not unchallenged and 'diversity' is another way to destroy nationhood.

We are the same age. I’m in NewZealand and Catholic. I will go to mass overseas and am at home in the ritual. I was taught by Franciscan nuns who were kind and clever - great teachers.

Me too Mike. History has been hollowed out and corrupted by ideology, revisionism and wokery. The subject has been trashed. That's why we need David Starkey and his ilk to protect the value and meaning of the past.

No.

Not true

@@brianbyrne7655 Compelling and highly intellectual argument you make there. In you, I have found the intellectual equal for an elderly housefly.

for a full scale one the french and teh spainish tried to invade ireland and teh french funded bonnie prince charlie

Thank you! Halfway through the video, I am wondering why no discussion of QE2's legacy and whether to expect there will be later. Pity, but I'll look elsewhere.

You are so funny. In an audience of one you laugh at your own jokes🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@littleboxes3625 people who laugh at themselves are the best comedians

@@charlieminaj2 no they are just delusional.

@@littleboxes3625 you probably protect nonces🤣

You’re offended? So what? You’ll get over it, time is a great healer.

No doubt, but Dr. Starkey's use of this particular profanity diminishes him in my perception.

Grow up.

Crooks have highjacked the movement you say. Really, have you read their manifesto,? Added to their close association with Marxist ideology, a toxic mix, and a toxic movement.

I suppose my problem with 'woke' is that, in order to be kind to 'minorities' (I use quote marks because some of these groups, such as women, and the sum of these groups together, are not minorities, and because every minority necessarily has within it further minorities, who are not encompassed by 'woke') the woke practices are, first of all, to adopt the views, however problematic, of the 'right', the identitarians, within each minority group, and secondly, to punish anyone who dissents from the up-to-date 'woke' viewpoint. There's NOTHING wrong with calling Starkey a dinosaur who speaks a load of old tosh, or calling him worse, but there is something wrong with a public shaming and public ostracism, with making him persona non grata on tv, with taking away his largely symbolic emeritus positions at university, with dumping him from every organisation in which he had a role. That's poisonous. For the individual, it encourages depression and suicide. For the society, it restricts speech, and restricts thought (of course this is entirely the point). That's my view, anyway.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I certainly was not in favour of banning Starkey, who I have always found very interesting so long as he sticks to history and doesn’t start propagating his unpleasant right-wing views on current affairs. You will tell that I am not taking an extreme position when I say that in spite of everything I still watch any history videos which he creates. I really don’t like Laurence Fox, but again I wouldn’t want him to be banned in anyway. I actually think that it is best if unpleasant views come out openly, rather than being driven underground.

@@uhtredragnorson9930 Yay! An exchange on social media where each party is happy with the things said by the other! It's great to know that we don't simply have 2 mutually hostile camps, that in a sense we all belong to a great infinity of "camps", eg., we might disagree about trade policy but agree on free speech, or disagree on free speech but agree on statues. I hope you have a great day.

Why? At least he's trying to stand up for our culture and heritage. He's pushing back against the woke lefty mob and has paid a very high price for it. I'm sure that most people listening to this found it to be very interesting.

In what way, in what sense. Do you simply mean you disagree with what each of them have said/stand for . In which case, why have you been watching this, a masochist perhaps? Or just desperate to tell the rest of us how you feel about them . Newsflash, the rest of us are interested in what they have to say. In turn, you are free to go elsewhere and find an echo chamber that suits.

@@oliverapex7924 Another who believes his opinion, like that of his fellow lefty losers, is somehow more valid, and enough to make the rest of us ignore an individual who has more intellectual capacity and knowledge than exists in your tiny, closed mind. And no doubt your own superior moral character allows you to pass absolute judgement, "no decent person" wants anything to do with him you say, decent by whose standards?. Because some of those who were desperate to condemn him have been revealed by their own nasty, spiteful behaviour and comments, to be anything but decent. Frankly, the way you lot piled in on him, all eager to throw your own stones, says more about your character than it does about his. Keep chewing on your spite and envy, it obviously gives your sad little life some meaning.
