David Starkey on the British Empire
 

Talking to D. Grimes

He’s such a repugnant unabashed racist, he should never be allowed a platform to spew his bile again.

Darren Grimes shows himself to be a prize racism enabling twat again in the process, awful people.

He's a moron.

There's plenty of countries on this earth that would disagree that the empire only had a few 'downsides'. It was a vicious regime that left it's scars on history and upon the people it trampled on. Too many people celebrate the empire as this crowning glory for Britain when it should be one of our biggest shames.

He gets on BBC Question Time

He does doesn't he, there was a poll done don't remember where that collated left and right leaning 'guests' on QT ... guess who were heavily in the majority?

We don't bang on about how we treated Catholics... Better pass that memo to Ireland dave :/

Starkey has had to Resign from his fellowship
at his College
because of this tweet.

Was it because of this tweet or the "damn blacks" comment that he made?

Starkey is a really extreme awful man.

There's no excuse for his racist comments. The Empire had more than a "few downsides", but to be fair it's a bit of a case of "what have the Romans ever done for us"

What?

Both

Do you want to rethink that? Does the tweet happen without the racism?

He didn’t draw breath did he

Meanwhile

Cambridge University backs academic who tweeted 'White Lives Don't Matter"

And then promptly promoted her

We love equality

Looks like our Dave should have been working for that uni

It seems like people really want a race war :shrug:

‘White loves don’t matter, as white lives’

As in, white lives have never had to fight to the right to be recognised or be considered as equal, or worry about their stance in society.

If you’re gonna quote, at least use full ones.

that was clearly not a one off comment, it rolled of the tongue too easily. So, the question I would ask is why have his colleagues let him get away with it for years

Because overt racism is for some reason seem as ‘balance’

Nothing triggers racists more than the idea of non-white people truly being their equal which is why so many of them equate black lives matter with white genocide. They don't want to give up their false sense of superiority.

He does have a right to his view. Even if it's this wrong.

And any company/establishment connected to him have a right to condemn him and cut ties for his views

Large Legal paper

...’...an awful lot of damn blacks in Africa and Britain, a lot of them survived...’...jeez, that right there is a silly old racist...

Darren is a crybaby, he got caught out now he’s playing the victim, he’s a failed hairdressing student who’s found a niche in the market that appeals to his incessant need for attention and approval, I can’t wait until he’s chucked back into irrelevance where he belongs.
