  1. Agree. There is nothing left to Conserve. We need a new party incorporating the small right wing parties (Reclaim, Reform amd Heritage) - eg. Restore UK. Reclaim the power Reform the laws RESTORE our Heritage and our Nation.

  2. We came to this channel in these early days because we know a bit of history and want a deeper understanding. It is everything I had hoped for. My walk to the shops in the rain this morning could not have been more inspirational. Thank you, Dr Starkey! But I fear that your wisdom will never fall upon the ears of those who most need to hear it. I train young professionals with at least one university degree and none in the last 5 years has accurately told me the years of WW1 and WW2. There understanding of the events which shaped our nation is pitifully poor. Understanding the nature of Britain - and why we are different to other European nations- through an understanding of the events of our ancestors is everything that I could hope for from our history scholars. But I fear that this channel will simply preach to the choir and improve our singing. Our new, Iraqi born but privately educated in England, education minister needs to speak to Dr Starkey. He has made statements about modernising the curriculum being taught so that inclusivity is no longer tokenistic... deceptively vague as any politician tends to be... Dr Starkey, please get on the blower to Nadhim Zawahi!

  3.  @craigdavidson2278  the reset is being imposed upon us, but it does not stop us from local uprisings of education. First in the home, then within extended family and then to communities. The answer to top-down is grass roots. We must all become activists in our community.

  4. ​ @sbor2020 so you don't disagree with the comment about Starmer hating Britain??

  5. Look at all the nation's who left the empire and became independent...almost all chose a national motto with "unity" as a component...not one chose "diversity". Examples include :Tanzania (freedom and unity), Nigeria (unity and faith, peace and progress)....etc

  6. I am using the term "xenosceptic" as a preferred noun for when I am called racist. Most of the issues we have are not individual melanin content related although, for group behaviour, that might act as a marker. It is cultural issues that are causing the friction, and culture includes supremacist ideologies which masquerade as religions.

  7. Does Rupert mix in senior military circles...maybe he might know a few Lieutenant Colonels with Regiments truly loyal to them and the Nation....or the head of 16 Air Assault Brigade... very handy chaps to have alongside you in any political debate about restoring Britian. With people like that on your side in the debating stage of restoration, it would bode well.

  8.  @sbor2020  so you think that the differential prison rates for different ethnicities is solely due to differential policing and racism and prejudice... that wouldn't explain the differential stabbing victims and their perpetrators would it.. come on, think!

  9.  @sbor2020  you really struggle, don't you? There is no systemic bias amongst native white british people that is making immigrant black kids slice eachother up in London...that's on them.

  10. Mercer wants to offer voters a shopping list without an ideological framework about it will be provided. He was correct that most voters want better lives, better schools...but they won't vote for a party simply because they say they will give it to them...people need to trust and believe. And that trust comes from some sense of framework underpinning the shopping list. Starkey is correct. It is the politicians role to sell that framework, or at least the fruits of said framework and price to be paid, on the doorstep.

  11. Did Dr Starkey's Pakistani-heritage taxi driver know WHY the UK is such a good place to live...and how that state came to be? And why other nations have not reached that state?

  12. Woman at 26:00, is she suggesting that we should "shut up for the sake of Diversity?" The division in our nation needs sorting out, but not by simply acquiescence! Edit to correct time stamp

  13.  @sbor2020  do you think there is 2 tier policing?

  14.  @Horizon344  yes, when they weren't burning widows they apparently had a massive industrial revolution...

  15. Sign of the times - when a new narrative is being woven around us, we go back to brush up on the truth.

  16. That wreaks of political apathy. People say we can't turn this around by means of the ballot box, but thise stats show that we can. Just need to capture the imagination of the nation.

  17. 50:46 it is not reversing history, it is an unmasking of the detritus which was puled upon our history. Its the bit house restoration TV shows where they new owners tear down a 1970s false ceiling to see the most elaborate ceiling plaster work...

  18.  @dhsumana407  well start by no longer looking for differences...stop classifying people by ethnicity, by sex, by sexuality etc...stop DEI metrics. Then give groups, companies the ability to solve the problem they were set by the market. Morgan Freeman is quoted as saying " stop talking about it " when asked "how do you end racism?" Seems like he was correct

  19. Request to anyone down voting- why not leave a comment to explain what you disliked. Just trying to understand your opinion.

  20. We need a restorative party before we have anything to conserve.

  21.  @SailingCartagena  I shudder to say that most British school kids nowadays have no idea about any of this, neither Magna Carta nor the Declaration of Independence. Our schools have killed any sense of nation because they do not teach the origins of everything they take for granted. The claim they "know their rights" but are ignorant of whence they came...

  22. ​ @reasonablespeculation3893 dead right, Starkey is describing the things that Mark Littlewood is reffering to as issues if intuition for voters. Starkey is articulating the gut feels . Barwell has bought the MSM line on everything...Ukraine, etc... he cannot be that naive, surely.

  23.  @70AD-user45  agree. Perfectly normal to be rationally sceptic of xenos.

  24.  @frankyyaggabot6222  yes, one can track a South to North pattern of unity through these nations. Zambia has a good one : "one Zambia, one nation" emphasises unity rather than multiculturalism. South Africa had a series of mottos, moving from "Union is strength" to "unity is strength" (some irony for an apartheid state 😄) and now, after translation, has "diverse people unite" which literally shows that diversity is subordinate to unity. Botswana is an outlier and has the word "Pula" as a motto which apparently means "Rain"... Zimbabwe gets us back on form with "Unity, work, freedom".

  25.  @jennilou100  "Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs" [To Hindu priests complaining to him about the prohibition of Sati religious funeral practice of burning widows alive on her husband’s funeral pyre.] Charles James Napier

  26.  @ruthd7274  but my point still stands. The politicians are apathetic as well. They have a massive opportunity to seize market share if they get the right message.

  27. A very eloquent string of accusations without any particular examples or evidence. You suggest that you have raised specific questions in the past but can't be bothered to do so again. Perhaps you have not found the copy and paste functions on your device yet? Try harder, Benedicte.

  28. Why limit the reverse of decision to just 2 of the 3 examples you mention? If the principle is correct, then surely all 3 decisions should be overturned?

  29. This nation has survived internal conflicts including civil war and the execution of a monarch... this could just be a blip in the great scheme of things...but we need people to vote in numbers they have never done before. "They" might control the media but they don't yet control "Us". If every true centrist and those to the right of centre acted now, we could bring the government to heel within months, all through non-violent means.

  30. I think Dr Starkey would be better as an advisor to a younger political leader. Cromwell or Wolsey to a new Henry VIII? Does Dr Starkey know Lord Frost? Lord Frost took a first in History and French at Oxford University as well as negotiating the Brexit deal...I am sure they share common ground and Lord Frost looks like a man who understands the modern world as well as the nation that we grew up knowing...

  31. The UN produced a document in about 2000 documenting replacement migration, their term, as a potential solution for the demographic changes that were already underway. They modelled a number of options, one was to maintain the population support ratio (PSR) at 3 or higher. In other words 3 or more workers required for every dependent member of society (kids and pensioners). The immigration numbers for the UK to maintain that figure at 3 or higher were net immigration of 250k a year.... which is roughly what Tony Blair achieved... other solutions, like having more kids, were not discussed much. Short term solution again....

  32. When we ask more of the government, we feel that there is a need for more expertise in government. With a small government, we need little expertise at the top, because the decisions and consequences are exeprienced by the eater, not the chef. Very good talk, thank you for sharing on your channel.

  33. If Dr Starkey were talking to Rupert Lowe / Ben Habib and people who support them then the solutions put forward in this superb lecture might have some hope of being enacted. Dr Starkey talks about the Glorious Revolution but Conservatives are not, and never will be, a party of Revolution.

  34. @zeddeka  anyone using the expression "you people" is generally not a good person... what do you mean by "you people" and which part of the UK do I not understand?

  35.  @jennilou100  yes, because we have to respect all cultures as equal. I mean, we burnt witches ...but we stopped ourselves about 2 hundred years prior to Napier stopping the Hindu custom....

  36. ​ @ROSEMARYHEATHER-m7h listen to Rupert Lowe, he speaks about action. I don't know if Farage is allowing Rupert to fly political kites under his name and keeping potentially bad ideas away from tarnishing Farage.... buy Rupert should become leader of Reform, and then become PM. He is superb.

  37. What did Trump do wrong in his 1st term?

  38.  @crowbar9566  I agree. Enoch Powell predicted this would be a consequence of joining the EU, that more ambitious and/or brighter people would seek greater power in Europe than in UK politics. Now the ambitious amd able seek power in tech platforms. But my point still stands. Many people are not engaged with a system which could still be used to change the path of the nation - our elections.

  39.  @hypnopompicstate9910  the 5 years is a maximum. Elections can be called sooner than that.

  41. He is on board with Restore Britain, the movement set up by Rupert Lowe. He seems to be fond of Robert Jenrick...I suspect he might see through Farage. There is much work to be done to reform Reform and make it fit to govern. Farage does not have what it takes.

  42. So .... 1. He didn't go to public school and 2. He is critical of someone who lies and plagiarised in her CV and book....don't need to be an economic expert to do that...and don't fall for the credentials over intelligence issue... is a credentialled economist were spouting rubbish, would you believe them purely on the basis of their credentials? Competence and intelligence always trumps credentials, except in leftist authoritarian Utopia.

  46.  @dhsumana407  100 percent when one has the luxury to see people as individuals. Often in life we don't have time for that luxury, and then it would be foolish to ignore group patterns of behaviour.

  47.  @jennilou100  the bit about burning widows??

  48. Welsh is a "hobby language" at best. A toy to be used for fun and intellectual amusement. It excludes the lion's share of the English nation and wastes time, energy and money within an educational system which is failing to produce young adults fit for the modern world. If they want to learn Welsh on weekends, fine, but let's not waste school time learning a language that divides our island and detracts from the preparation of our future workforce to compete on an international stage. Learn maths, not Welsh. Heck, learn Latin rather than Welsh.

  50.  @zoidberg444  I was asking myself the same question re. The word "Commonwealth" as used here. There is a lecture by Professor Wrightson on a Yale University website where he describes Edmund Dudley's book "The Tree of Commonwealth". It appears to be a description of a hierarchical and yet communitarian society built on justice, God and acting to ensure balance and good for all ie. Commonwealth (albeit whilst knowing you place in society and not getting above your station). Dudley seems to be advising the new King, Henry VIII, to rule to ensure the balance of harmony between all ranks of society for the benefit of the society as a whole. All of this is explained through the metaphor of a tree, roots and fruits etc. The original poster -foundation of Britain - has left some fascinating comments on a recent David Starkey video, I hope they will leave a reading list for their sources, there is much to be learnt about the constitution and our nation, England, especially now as the nation seems to be struggling.
