@michaelbullen4146 BA & PhD from Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. Nothing 'pretendy' about that, I suggest. Not bad for a Working Class Northerner, is it?

@michaelbullen4146 'Yes, perhaps it was, but I prefer my acedemics politically neutral then I can make up my own mind, i don't need to be spoon fed someone else's prejudices.' Like the notoriously neutral David Olusoga, of Beachy Head Lady fame?

@michaelbullen4146 You really haven't heard of David's claims about 'Beachy Head Lady?' How he presented a BBC programme 'proving' by facial reconstruction, that she was of Sub-Saharan origin, and linking her with his (alleged) African Roman Emperor, Septimius Severus? Well worth finding and viewing it, in view of what followed, which was a DNA analysis by the Crick Institute, which demonstrated that BHL really came from that well-known heartland of Sub-Saharan Africa, Cyprus! Odd that, since this setback, the BBC's historian of choice has not commented further on the issue, still less withdrawn his claim, I suggest.

@michaelbullen4146 'I would say the boy did good, but I would also say that he is a bit too political a bit of political neutrality would make me like him a whole lot more, but I will say that he can be very entertaining.' Except historians do not exist in a vacuum. Their opinions and their conclusions inevitably arise from their research, and their understanding of that research. That is why you get people like Starkey, Sharma, and Irving.
