Misquote and maligned speaker. A Puff of Reason


'We should never have liberated France': David Starkey courts yet more controversy by claiming nations should be left to free themselves from oppression
  • Dr Starkey says nations 'don't like to be freed' and says they mistake their 'liberator' for their 'conqueror'

The cacophony of hate against the truth, as this academic sees it, illuminated exactly that it is not what this soft minded selected audience wanted to hear.  Three senior politicians on the panel and they all avoided the questions. Even a loaded union official could not frighten a courageous Dr Starkey's attempts to reply, educate and give reason.  Can they - the stooges from the political parties - honestly compare their immoral contributions of well trodden sound bites to everything that the entrepreneurs, educators and scholars have achieved?  
Compare facts as witnessed in history to the politicians demented imputs!  Labour had nothing do do with ruining the economy?
Those demanding the withdrawal of a small voice of honest reason should look at the centres of our once great cities and reflect on John Cleese's observations, to his foreign friends, that London is no longer England.
The repetition of history is easily recognisable to all those, as the erudite scholar suggested, can take their noses out of their prompt sheets and listened to the answer. A loud guffaw does not an argument make.  The banal and idiotic statements by members of this overly thick audience was rightly treated with the disdain, by Dr Starkey, that it required.
