The ego is the programming that makes you unhappy and dissatisfied. The ego is just programming; it isn’t an entity, as many imagine-a little you inside your head-although it feels like that at times. The ego is the programming that shapes what the voice in your head says to you. By examining the voice in your head, you can get to know the ego. This programming provides a way of perceiving life. It is a viewpoint-the ego’s viewpoint-and that viewpoint is deeply flawed. The ego doesn’t see life as it truly is. You are programmed to misperceive life. And you are programmed to try to fix what you perceive by doing and getting rather than by being: by looking within yourself and discovering what is actually true and, thereby, releasing yourself from the suffering caused by the ego’s misperceptions. The ego is the programming that creates unhappiness and then offers solutions to that unhappiness. The problem is that the solutions don’t work, at least not for long, not to mention that this programming is the cause of your suffering in the first place. Without the ego, you would be happy and content and kind to each other. The way to happiness, contentment, and love, therefore, is to see the truth about the programming, to see that it is false. Seeing the truth about it is tricky, though, because you are programmed to believe your programming. Your programming seems true, and it is ingrained, automatic, and compelling. Your programming is very convincing! To discover the falseness of your programming, you have to be willing to examine it and question it. This is no small order; it can be quite scary to take this step. Questioning your programming is like questioning your very foundations. Questioning the programming puts you on shaky ground. What will happen to you if you do? But to become free of the programming, much more is needed. It isn’t enough to just be convinced that your programming is false, because the programming is still operating in every moment. The programming doesn’t stop just because you have learned the truth about it. It continues as it always has. For the programming to stop or not run you anymore, it has to be disassembled piece by piece. The false beliefs produced by the programming have to be seen as false, one by one, moment to moment. That is the work, and this is bound to take time. This work requires that you be aware of the thoughts that run through your mind. And even that is not enough, for you also have to see that those thoughts are false and stop believing them. Then, there’s one more thing you have to do: Turn your attention to the present moment instead of the voice in your head. So, breaking free from the programming involves four things: 1. Understanding that the voice in your head is the cause of suffering and that it is not your voice but the voice of your programming (that’s the easy part), 2. Becoming aware of the thoughts in the thought-stream, which I’ve been calling the voice in your head. This awareness is developed in meditation, 3. Inquiring into the thoughts in the thought-stream that you still believe until you are convinced that they aren’t true, useful, or worthy of your attention, and 4. Turning your attention away from the realm of thought to real life, to the present moment. That ability to disengage from your thoughts is also developed in meditation. Meditation is critical to this process. Meditation is the antidote to being caught up in the voice in your head and taking on its perceptions. Meditation develops the skills needed to disassemble the programming. Without a daily practice of meditation, the process of detaching from the voice in your head will take much longer, possibly lifetimes. Meditation will accelerate your emotional and spiritual evolution like nothing else.
I am an " English Refugee" living in Bulgaria and I feel more at home than I do in the UK! England is barley recognisable as the country of my birth. I returned to my home town for a visit last year and i looked more like the Gaza Strip!
15 years in the far east specifically Hong Kong before all the crap happened but still feels more like home than the UK now. Work hard make money and live a good life because you keep most of what you earn and not taxed to death, plus you don't have to worry about being mugged by a 15 year old.
@@joek600 Erm, I would. Same way the whole world looked to Germany as it was before East Asia took over manufacturing and tech. Everyone with common sense knows this. The exception is the USA because it isn't a backwater (yet).
I agree. So for that reason please vote Reform next election, not those woke Maoist treacherous pigs in the SNP. Please also tell everyone you know the same. There might be some future for us all then.
The wokesters are secular Hegelian cultists/religious and their cult/religion emerged from the transnationalists socialists/globalists socio-fascists Third Worldism agenda. Fascism is never on the RIGHT side of history. We National Populists within every allied nation must continue to forge an ever stronger international alliance and redemocrarize the rising Western Civilization State. I do disagree with him on the fact we need a neo Renaissance of Christianity in the new postsecular transhistorical metamodern "network society" era. Jesus Christ is King of kings and Lord of lords.
all we need to do is get the right politicians in, honest people, normal people, who stand up for the country and public. Cut the ridiculous spending. We can turn this around it just takes will.
The Paradox of Tolerance “Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them." Karl Popper
First trip to the UK was 2006. I stayed with English friends at Wandsworth. From their flat, I walked all over London. The Tower, Imperial War Museum, Oxford St etc. Had fish and chips in Pimlico with my mate , who immigrated to Australia and he did it the right way. Drank many pints of real ale, ate cumberland sausages and mash, caught the tube allover London, rode the double decker buses to. Did the whole tourist bit and felt my english and welsh heritage. Sadly I wont go back, the London I loved in 2006 has gone, corrupted by bad actors and political sycophants and I fear there is no end in sight. And my sense is Starmer will make it worse. Wake up England take your country back.
I hear you . I emigrated to Australia from the uk in the late 80s and try to visit family every couple of years. During this time I have sadly watched as the uk successive government have made mistake after after mistake hoping I was wrong. Everybody looks sad and angry. The streets look neglected and everything is very expensive. Last visit I witnessed racism like you wouldn’t believe and because an African lady wasn’t sure which bus to get on and was holding up the queue. Each visit it seems things are worse than before and everyone asks if I can take them back with me. I can’t believe what’s happened to the country of my birth that I still love dearly. Not saying that Oz is not having their own issues though but we are not far down that slippery slope so there’s still time to improve things.
No point in waking up. It is just too late. The simple mathematics of procreation has seen to that, and it will hit home with overwhelming force within 10 years.
It’s sad that something so rich and proud has been recklessly vandalised. I’m glad to hear you’ve had that wonderful experience and remember it so fondly. You’re lucky at least for that. Now England is being subsumed into a globalists fever dream which is nothing anyone who matter would ever want or ask for.
I think when one has so much knowledge and intellect and at the same time is witnessing the chaos that Comrade Starmer is bringing to the UK, I would think he has so much to say he quite literally has to vomit his words out. A fountain of knowledge. Intellect that is sadly lacking in today's world.
David is correct on most things but the collapse of education in Wales has nothing to do with the Welsh language. Most children in Wales don’t attend a Welsh medium school and Welsh medium schools generally perform better than their English medium counterparts. The collapse of education in Wales is 100% down to Welsh Labour.
he is wrong about wanting DIEversity in our countries it always leads to ethnic and civil wars boomers live in a different world from the younger generations.
Yeah, he definitely assumed correlation implying causality there. Welsh has always been taught and the standard was better so it’s definitely not a language issue.
Hey brothers .. an American here 🇺🇸.. England set the standard.. take it back.. there’s a whole lot of us over here across the pond that think very highly traditional England 🏴
Not all of us here in the US have the same view as you about England; if anything, it was France that set the standards considering they eradicated the French monarch, and thanks to France the US gained its independence from the English
@@suntzu94 It was in part thanks to the public traditions we got from Britain that we were able to part company with King George without France's reign of terror, and kept much of the common law precedent instead of having something like the Napoleonic Code. And it was the French monarchy that helped us gain independence, not the French Republic (any of them), though certainly Lafayette had general revolutionary or at least reform notions when he served in the Continental Army. It can hardly be maintained that the elimination of the French monarchy IMMEDIATELY brought about an improvement and advancement of liberty in France or in Europe, much less that it did us any tangible good. And the revolutionary government imprisoned Lafayette and Thomas Paine. While Napoleon conveniently sold us the Louisiana Purchase, he is hardly the champion of liberty he cosplayed as (when he wasn't cosplaying as emperor). Certainly the ideas behind the US Constitution in general and the Bill of Rights in particular find their source in the traditions of the rights of Englishmen, the Magna Carta, and English common law, though I assert we helped the tradition along. If we hadn't provided a relatively benign example of representative government, the UK might well have reacted differently to the French Revolution, if any.
@@digitalnomad9985 How much help did Napoleon give the US colonists, or did you skip that chapter? The US is a republic just like France, the forefather of the US. Conversely, England is considered a democracy, but you can't have a sitting monarch and lack a First and Second Amendments. The English are weak and now the laughingstock of the world
@@Sean-p3o Cling to the Thatcher bogey-(wo)man delusion all you like but you shouldn't spread misinformation. The NHS was created under Attlee's Labour govt in 1948. From wiki " The Labour Party had won a landslide victory at the 1945 general election, and went on to enact policies of what became known as the post-war consensus, including the establishment of the welfare state and the nationalisation of 20 percent of the entire economy."
@@andrewhotston983 Some have Wales interest first. Others think carerr and Britshness first.. Neil Kinnock as a classic example who hated all thing welsh culture/language etc.
A nation with large numbers of immigrants cannot have identification with an historical continuity as a unifying factor and this was recognized in Sweden when a government decree abolished Swedish history. The decree states the since large sections of the Swedish people do not have a common history this can no longer be a unifying factor and instead being Swedish today means identifying with a common set of values. The problem for Sweden is that large sections of the Swedish people do not have a common set of values either and the once ethnically homogeneous and peaceful Sweden is disintegrating in rampant crime and chaos.
Sweden was the first country to commit national suicide. My friends there will not even let their daughters out in the streets. Sweden was killed by its own tolerance.
It’s what happens when you import the most conservative misogynistic homophobic Iron Age people into your modern liberal western country- and force it on your people! You voted for it Sweden , now deal with it!
@@70AD-user45 It is tragic what has happened to Sweden. I lived and worked in Sweden in the early 1970's, I learned the language and loved the country and it's people. Sweden was beyond doubt the best country in Europe, the Swedes called it the Folkhemmet, People's home, and it really was, it was safe, clean, friendly and peaceful with very little crime and a well functioning health service and welfare state. I visited Sweden regularly over the years and watched the slow decline but I've not been back there for about four years or so, decades of mass immigration have destroyed what was once a fantastic country. It is incredible but the Swedes did it to themselves, they opened their borders and let the third world flood into their country in massive numbers and now the best country in Europe is no more.
Listening to David Starkey's discourse ( and it's always a discourse, irrespective of who interviews him) always takes me back to the 1970s and my days as a 'perennial student,' being schooled in British social and economic history by an extraordinarily learned but generous scholar; and taught the principles of the British Constitution by two, old school ( 'Queen and country'), card-carrying members of the Labour Party; and finally, tutored by Dr. Spence in the labyrinthine subject of Modern World History. Such gifted teachers whose knowledge and understanding were unsurpassed. Halcyon days indeed.
David Starkey's mention of "1066 and All That" reminds me of the fact that in the amusing "Errata" of the book it says "for sausages read hostages". I'm not making this up!
David, i have three adorable first generation migrant grandchild, through adoption. I at first instinctively and then consciously have done just has you suggested. I have sought to make them aware of our history and our nature and to love it as i do. I beleive it has been a success until they hit secondary school. I shudder to think what they are being told about me and my ancestors. The eldest is the " diversity monitor " and instead of melting into our way of life they become evermore aware of their blackness and being African . Until we legislate to end DEI, Critical Race Theory in schools and Universities , integration and adoption and love of our country is a steep up hill battle.
The most relevant political movement of yesteryear that implemented race theories were the Nazis who are the historical counterparts of today's transnationalists socialists/globalists socio-fascists with their Third Worldism agenda and their secular Hegelian religion/cultism (known as wokeness here in the US).
This woke education system is corrupting our children. Please do your best to stop those kids from believing in everything woke! Those kids will be the future of Britain. Think about that!,
That's the issue, you need to enforce ethics and history, not expect the state to end it, you must end it. There is nothing strong about being a weak victim, which is what DEI promotes.
You see this with a lot of new immigrants or first gen immigrants now. Their heads are in the east but their bodies are here in the west. It’s okay to have pride in your ancestry and heritage but it’s becoming more common to put your ancestral homeland above the UK in the pecking order, even if they’ve never visited because they were born here. Bizarre.
Starkey is, of course, correct, but all this has been obvious for many years. He does make a good point about Starmer being the ultimate embodiment of the vile, corrupt, disaster that is the British state, but when Labour won in July, I too sensed that they represented the end point.
Dr. Starkey's views on the Welsh language are ill-informed and the alleged consequences of the study of the language are certainly demanding of sceptical scrutiny. Nobody would suggest that studying French or German as a second language or Latin as a basis for the study of language itself would reduce the educational attainment of the student body. The problem is socialism, as manifested by the disasterous Welsh Labour Government that fundamentally rejects academic achievement as an aspiration for the young unless in the service of its political purpose.
The problem is WHO is being imported. You'd never have such massive issues with other populations than those specific demographic groups... mainly ANY muslim group and ANY sub-saharan group, the patterns are the same all over the world and the numbers like crime stats eerily similar. Islam, mainly, needs to go, period. And as long as we havent' realised that, we'll keep banging our heads against the wall. Not all cultures, nor beliefs systems, nor ideologies are equal and some need to be treated as the danger they factually pose.
Did Starkey say he didn't like Welsh? His point was is it right to mandate it if it takes time away from the opportunity to learn others that are more desirable in the modern world like Mandarin, French etc. It's like mandating the Scots and Northern Irish learn Gaelic. Students in those countries have the opportunity to, but it's not mandatory.
These guys beat around the bush for all this time and never grabbed the bull by the horn. The problem is the islamification and the islamists mentality. All other communities are and have adopted british values even after being discriminated by the natives for the longest time.
What an opinionated and pompous man. He claims that the poor quality of the Welsh education is due to Welsh language teaching. Firstly, most Welsh children do not go to Welsh speaking schools. Secondly, speaking two or more languages does not harm a child’s education as bilingual children tend to do better at school. On the contrary, such children are better able to consider multiple points of view and handle complex problems. In fact speaking multiple languages has been shown to improve health, increase longevity and reduce the incidence of dementia. And of course Welsh is part of the cultural heritage of Wales and its people.
LOL 'sheepshagger' ! Obviously and butt-hurt apparently ... And your argument for 'wasting teaching time on Welsh' / 'languages is good' is crap ! Imho 😉
I'm apt to agree with you. Perhaps he's trying to find blame but picked the wrong target. Many students "waste" their time learning to speak Latin and Greek, but we don't say that makes their scores worse. I would go as far to include wholly made up languages like Klingon or Elvish. Sure there isn't much practical use for the languages, but the same can be said of advanced particle physics.
@@StillAliveAndKicking_ The American universities are the same. Most students are there to get a better-paying job. The college is padding the credit hours so they can get as much money as possible out of the student. At the end of 4 years the student has a piece of paper saying they can do the job but isn't any better than the guy who has been working the job for 4 years. It's a bloated system that needs to be trimmed down.
@@jimbo9305 I believe Germany has a more rational system, with vocational training, where students learn useful skills. In Brirain degrees are mostly too abstract. People with media studies degrees working for the national minimum wage and owing huge university fees.
This is the core idea. The left rejects it for you. But not for other groups, who are absolutely entitled to value their own ethnic and cultural identities. It’s very clear and straightforward once you see it. No leftist can explain or escape this contradiction.
What does it matter? Because when yoir kids kids talk they can say US the English have been conquered and our parents gave away our lands to non white people because of their weakness and white guilt ?
@@avengemybreath3084All White lands are being handed over to non whites via the white guilt push ! White ppl refuse to wake up ! They so desperately want to be liked
@@avengemybreath3084 Well-being is far more than GDP. Anyone who thinks that preserving ethnic heritage and identity is unjustified are merely woke sheep or anti-European. This scale of immigration is unprecedented. Using the past migrations from 5000 years ago to justify this rate of immigration is utter nonsense. People living today have a right to defend their homelands.
@wjdeoliveira3809 - I always enjoy David Starkey but he’s wildly exaggerating about Blairism, a very vague term when you get down to it. It’s just a bee in his well-stocked bonnet.
@@nickwyatt9498No,he isn't exaggerrating whatsoever. Blair and his ugly mob of thugs purposefully dismembered and destroyed England forever. He was the very embodoment of everything I was taught to loathe in a 'man'. The country of England no longer exists. The thieves in the temple wave the same flag and try to speak in emulation of the noble tribe they've usurped- sing the same anthems (in 'modernized' versions) etc- but these traitors - this new cast of crooks and tarts- these foreigners- have antipodally opposing views in every way to the old and real English they subjugate and detest. EVERYTHING about modern Britain is a repulsive joke to a true Englishman of old.
@@nickwyatt9498I think then you don't understand how bad it is, can't see the wood for the trees, it isn't your fault because our whole society is lost in the forest.
@@nickwyatt9498Yes, we had a Silent Cultural Revolution, there was no Culture War, they seized the means of cultural production when the institutions were asleep or complicit.
I speak Welsh fluently. And I find it quite useful. While I don't think the top-down imposition of the language is the best use of our time and energy, that isn't to say it's useless. It wouldn't have survived this long if it was. It's not as if its existence and adoption over time has been solely dependent on the government propping it up. After all, there was a long time when the opposite was true. People speak it because they want to! I think it's a shame that one of the clearest advocates of conservatism seems so eager to dismiss an entire language. After all, like all languages, Welsh is an evolved cultural artifact that embodies the history, identity and experiences of its people over centuries. British people, no less. As I understand conservatism, the idea is that our traditions should be revered, in part, because they contain knowledge and serve important societal functions that we may not even know about explicitly. Rejecting them out of hand, or making too many changes to them too quickly, runs the risk of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. So, as a Welsh speaker and proud Briton, I say to Starkey: What we have is not nothing.
@DJRockford83 People who choose to speak a particular language don't necessarily do so because it travels well. There are countless other possible reasons to learn a language. If you're talking about compulsory education, I can see your argument. I imagine compulsory Welsh lessons in English-medium schools in Wales put most pupils off it entirely. Of course, that's true of many subjects. Note that all secondary schools in Wales (as far as I'm aware) offer either French, German, or Spanish.
I'm English that has lived in Wales and good knowledge of the language, Starkey got it wrong here I think he's too angry to see the wood from the trees on this one even if what he's trying to convey holds water - Englishness is nothing to a lot. I'm on your side 100% I intend to move back to Wales and become fully fluent. Your culture matters bud.
This was the one point where i too disagreed with Starkey, losing any living language is irreversible, but to lose one of our nations' own is unacceptable! i'm English...
Yes, I agree. He also threw unemployed people under the bus too. Like they sit around and do nothing? Sit in the lounge and watch tv with a pint of larger? A lot of people, especially women (older women) are out in the community doing free labour. Volunteering their time in community groups. Yes, some of it is just 15 hours a week, A lot of it is much more time, much unrecognized, a lot unacknowledged. I think he is a bit of a wind bag. 😕
He makes many good points, but his ideas about Welsh education are idiocy. The Welsh language doesn’t hold back the children. I recently spoke to my daughters teacher and she explained that not only are the children behind the rest of Britain, but that it was ok that they were behind, as the children were happy and feel good about themselves, the children are kept completely in the dark about the fact they are falling behind and are instead told how wonderful they are doing. Secondly I was told that my daughters school is no longer teaching subjects individually, they all now fall under the heading of humanities, as such opinions and feelings are more important than being correct, including in maths and science. After this conversation I am now trying to save what I can so I can leave wales and go find a proper education for my daughter.
It’s such a pity that he has such Ill favour and a very un polite attitude towards a language and culture in which pre dates the English language on this island. There is no evidence of learning Welsh stops the educational standards of children within Wales. Learning more than one language and the dynamics of such only supports the development of a child’s learning progression. There are many schools in the north of England where young men are falling behind in there maths and English skills and that is not due to learning a alternative language. That is due to funding, society problems that we all share within the British isles for the last 20 years. Tolkien who was a master of language and it’s origins saw Welsh as the grandfather language of this island and off its soil. It’s a culture that has withstood 100s of years of the very attitudes that he expressed in this video. Welsh is not a back water language, it has structure meaning and law in how it is spoken, many like this gentleman ignore this because in my personal belief it dismantles there ignorance. The language I also feel shows envy to the fact that it has such deep roots in folk law and history as well as some of the oldest written story’s in Europe in which smears the idea that we are a slower cousin of our English Friends. Lots of respect for mr starkly but on this matter he is wrong, and unless you live and work within Welsh speaking communities you can’t understand how much the language connects you to the land. 500k still speak Welsh and god willing many more to come to keep this culture of Wales and the uk alive for years to come
The pompous ass acts as if most of English's academic and scientific vocabulary isnt from French and Latin. Every natural language is complex and can be used, with some modifications perhaps, in every domain of life including science and industry. But it takes money, will, and effort.
As a woman in my 70's I went through the horror of that period in the 1970's under the whip of Labour and the crass ineptitude of the Tories before them. Lights out across London, unions taking us all to the cleaners because they were marxist and they didn't give a fk about people . Political ideology was all they cared about. My aspirations coming out of school were maimed by these idiots. Now I have witnessed the coming storm and I saw the Labour party coming into power after the gross negligence of the Tories I knew what we were in for. God I despise the lot of them but I really despise Labour and Tony Blair trying to wrest as much power as he could away from parliament and the people.The labour party really are the worst authoratarians.
Also in my 70s with the same memories. I'm bracing for a 'winter of discontent' mk 2 with additional servings of racial conflict and further breakdown of law and order.
Britain wrecked itself fighting wars in the first half of the 20th century it couldn’t afford America is doing the same thing only quicker Col Macgregor Retired
While I like Starkey I think he is mistaken. Things have gone too far for a real conservatism to be the solution. Blood and soil nationalism is our only hope now
The challenge I have with Starkey is that he talks a good game but doesn't actually provide anything tangible. Listening to Starkey is like reading a newspaper - it tells you a lot, but it's only real world use is as a fly swatter or something to wipe your backside with. I also feel his thoughts on the welfare state are seriously flawed. The Fall of England - Yes Starkey I agree with your prognosis. So how do we prevent the Fall of England? [SILENCE]
Konstantin Kisin withered when David opened with there are no Great Britain values - there are English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish...THIS man is a historian and knows his subject and the history of the part of world of which he speaks. Unlike your previous guest.
This is the first time I've seen KK's body language tense up and alter so noticeably during an interview. His jaw is set and his arms are folded for much of the conversation, and his usual open hand gestures are absent. Maybe he's just taking the subject matter very seriously here (note the lighting is also dimmed down more than usual in the Triggernometry studio), but he could just be increasingly uncomfortable with the depth of the shit we're in...
When Tony Blair became Prime Minister, I had an American friend who said "I do like your Tony Blair". I smiled but I shuddered inside. I knew instinctively that there was going to be damage that our beautiful country would never recover from.
Just imagine what Europe is going to look like 100 years from now. At least today we have a bit of our national identities left to enjoy, make the most of it.
David makes many keen observations here, but the totality is slightly incoherent. He could do with committing his thoughts to paper in an attempt to order and prioritise them.
I like David Starkey but I certainly do not agree with him on the Welsh, in my (humble) opinion they are the true Brits of this island and have a very rich history that goes way back in time that has been deliberately suppressed, see the books written by Wilson and Blackett, and I speak as a Lancastrian Englishman.
Blair's legacy is the worst of any primeministers. I was felt at the turn of the millenium something didn't feel right, the world is gonna go t1ts up next year.
No single word about the City of London being the main disruptor of Great Britain, leaving the whole country at the financial mercy to their private interests?? 🤔
Well it ought to be, but the BBC hates our heritage and history, as has been obvious for man years. Moreover, millions of us no longer consume any of the BBC's output.
Interesting point about the man from Rwandan parents who ended those little girls. If he is welsh, and everyone who lives in wales is welsh, then it cant really be multicultural, as they say. If everyone there is welsh, then its a monoculture. So which is it, Lefties ? Is Wales multicultural or monocultural?
@@nonono9194no it isn't, Britons were. Nationality is literally a social construct, ethnicity is biological fact. The State IS Britian and the people of that state are British Subjects.
Indeed, ironic though that the Western portion fell very quickly because of similar invasions by migrants. At least the Roman government attempted to stop it.
His attitude to Welsh is dreadful. First of all, there are about 650,000 native Welsh speakers in Wales, whose children need instruction in their native language. Without that instruction Welsh is doomed first to illiteracy and degradation, then to extinction. The same thing that happened to Cornish when people were forced to read and write in English. Once the language dies, so does the culture, and you can't really resurrect it. Secondly, he's wrong that it's an "unreformable medieval" language, and this really shows Starkey's limited historical range. It is true that many of the words related to "modernity" in Welsh came from English, but English got many of those words from Latin- including "reform" and "modern". The presence of loan-words rather than an attempt to retrofit native compound-words for novel concepts indicates that the language is both healthy and "modern".
Aka known as white guilt ! They have pushed white Guilt for decades that now white ppl are giving away their lands to prove they are not racist ! Our kids will pay heavily as they have no place on earth to call home
I am in awe of David’s knowledge and understanding. Brilliant. Also, as an architect, I can tell you that building is about to get infinitely more complex and expensive than we have ever seen due to all the new regulations, insane levels of admin work involved, the list goes on, it’s really very bad.
The stark difference of when I last visited with a sense of reverence and pride as a young man from the Antipodes to the utter 3rd world hot mess that Britain has become is heartbreaking and a living example of empire collapse in less than a generation.
I would argue she aided in its demise. She inherited an empire and gave it away. She looked on whilst her capital was invaded. She swore an oath to defend her faith whilst Mohammed became England's most popular boy's name.
You mean they've failed to keep up? Your statement reminds me of how the state attempts to flatter the Aboriginal people here in Australia. "The oldest culture on earth". Of course what that means is they are paleolithic people who have lost touch with the rest of humanity. They didn't even work out the bow and arrow let alone the wheel. As Starkey points out the Welsh language is bronze age. It's unable and failing to develop into a contemporary living language because it is a museum piece, a middle class vanity project. Welsh has lost touch with and failed to move forward with philosophical developments of the iron age.
@@AndyJarman agree, them and all the other "1st peoples" are playing the victim card. Like they didn't butcher each other over territory in the early days, or indeed exterminate even older peoples who might have been there first: but the gullible lap it up and seem to want to preserve them like some wisened grandmother...
@@AndyJarmanyour attitude are part of the reason for the economic fall of England. And why the USA 🇺🇸 (which respects many civilizations and cultures more) is likely to soon have more than twice the per capita income of England.
@@AndyJarman it's funny how the English are coming to Scotland, while they allow illegals into England they take up all the housing ment for the next generations but no so they move more north while they lose more and more and probably by desighn so when the time comes Scotland don't get the yes leave in another independence referendum and leave this union of political terror. Scotland wanted to be part of E. U. So did Northern Ireland and wales. We want to be Nato Also. What's the English government doing about mad mass illegal invasion? Spending 8 million a day for them to stay until they get benefits and housing here's a nice Hotel with 3 hot meals per day, but yet there's ex British military sleeping rough with mental health problems because of the stupid deployments, while until there's a house for the illegals and while there here they assault woman childern. Crime has increased 10 fold Importing terrorism is a crime is it not? Not having a go bud I'm talking about Blairs labour then bloody torries again now labour again who've done nothing for it's own people apart from making them more sick and unable to afford anything.

A government too big to support itself. That has been the situation in the Disunited States since the mid to late 60s and early 70s with the introduction of the massive welfare/regulatory state by first LBJ and then completed by Nixon.
I think this entire argument is wrong. The English lost their confidence after WWI and have been in a nosedive ever since. And since the Victorians interwove patriotism and faith (in Christianity) when the people lost faith in their govt and institutions they also lost faith in Christianity. And that was the beginning of the end of the British Empire. And what Blair did in the 90's was just a continuation of 75 years of precedent of generations of British acting out their loss of confidence in themselves, their culture, and their religion. And its almost humorous how it takrs watching your culture literally die before you eyes to wake up people. But its too late, born / bred British women don't even want to reproduce. You see it in British media with the ridiculous race swapping in historical shows. Its a conquered / surrendered culture. And these folks here are just at the wake, weeping over the corpse that was the 20th century England.
I’d agree with elements of your argument. However, I disagree with your statement on British women not wanting to reproduce. Triggernometry have broadcasted podcasts on this issue previously. The number of women WANTING children has not changed. The number of women who go on to have those children, or the number they might have if no other factors restricted them, has decreased. Partly as a result of women being told they must aspire for full careers (delaying serious relationships etc), partly expectations for what one should be providing children (££), partly traditional markers of adulthood being delayed by soaring costs (high rental costs meaning people live with parents longer etc), partly other cultural changes including parenthood becoming very isolating as we’ve lost “the village”/the economic need for two income households, among a plethora of other factors. Anyway, this was just a recommendation for their other podcasts and experts on this issue. It’s very interesting!
He managed to be offensive out of ignorance regarding the Welsh language or language in general. Bronze Age? Taking words from English, a French-German creole? Or did they come from Latin-Greek as with most European languages?

You want to watch classic David Starkey check out the trial of Richard III. It's on YT and it took place in 80s. I disagree with his opinion on that subject but I've enjoyed learning about the crown's history from his many documentaries. He's a national treasure imo and it's sad your country canceled him.
@@vanessadebrino7231 I think I'm thinking of a later documentary. I know Henry 7 was a popular villain in my childhood. However David Starkey did convince me it was Richard 3. Jane Shore, who was in a position to know, told Thomas Moore the name of a common criminal hired by Richard to perform the act. And Moore published this account. This man was later in court on charges of theft. Starkey discovered that both Henry 7 and Elizabeth of York attended this court case of a commoner, despite being in deep mourning for their son Arthur, and Elizabeth being heavily pregnant with the pregnancy that would result in her death. The man was hung. I find this rather convincing.
@@grannyannie2948 Omg another monarchy geek like myself 😆. The villain you're referring to is one James Tyrell if my Tudor history serves me right. Originally pardoned by Henry VII he was later brought up on charges unrelated ( I believe it was theft as you said ) and sentenced to death. I will of course look this up after posting this which I should have done the other way around 😆. Thanks for replying. Btw if you're interested Dan Jones is releasing a new book next month on Henry V I've been counting the months
@@vanessadebrino7231 Tyrell does ring a bell, I always forget his name and yes I should have looked it up. I'm especially geekish about the Tudors. Thanks for the recommendation, I have a whole small bedroom full of books, and I vow to buy no more, but my library will buy anything I recommend. So I shall look forward to it as well.
I have yet to hear anyone who says diversity is our strength produce an example. And I ask directly. It’s your country. You have every reason to expect imports to join the program and insist that they leave if they do not.
The way Starkey describes the modern approach of Britain to imports. It reminds me of the Gene Rodenberry approach. This worked on television, but does not work in real life.
Education outside the classroom. I very much enjoyed this session because it brought back moments when my father was giving me things to live by. I have treasured those moments ❤ thank you.
Is it not conjecture to blame any welsh schooling failures on the teaching of the ancient welsh language to children in schools. Learning 2 languages at a younger age must be a boon to the education of any youths.
Decent historian but a lot of his views about modern life are ludicrous. Please remember that he wanted compulsory vaccination and was advocating for wholescale sackings of people who refused them.
@@phwboothThere are vaccinations that young, healthy people should consider. It was an obscenity that the Covid jab was pushed on young, healthy people. This clown wanted it to be compulsory.
DAVID STARKEY is just....such a WONDERFUL English treasure!!!! His knowledge of history and British politics is amazing! And he explains everything so well!! I agree 100% with everything he said. These 20s will be very hard for our great nation. Starmer will see to that. Superb episode Konstantin!!! ❤❤❤
The sooner there's an English nationalist party, the sooner Britain will fracture. We Scottish, Welsh and Irish nationalists pray for the day. Diversity for England, and independence for us.
The United Kingdom's continued existence as a union is indefensible at this point. England is the corrupted heart that pumps its poison to all of Albion. Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland would be better off independent.
I like David Starkey and find him interesting to listen to, but there are two errors which I take issue with in his comments. Firstly, he is utterly wrong about Welsh and education in Wales, as this is not the issue at all, and in fact children were punished for speaking Welsh at school. Welsh is spoken as a first language in North Wales in many communities, and is not the issue as he makes out, it is the Welsh Labour Party, who are equally responsible for the Welsh NHS and the mess it is in. Secondly, the Beveridge Report actually said that in order for the Welfare State to function properly, the voluntary sector was an essential pillar. Regrettably, the Labour Government chose to ignore that advice. It is an interesting point that Starkey is 80 years old in three months time
thank you for dwelling on the hollowed out townships of rust belt GB. Their drive and pride amputated except for the nostalgia of which you spoke. The riot in which an idiot tossed a burning wheelie bin through a migrant hotel door happened at Wath the site of the 'Holiday Inn' (fake news ..... who the hell would go on holiday there?) The hotel still stands (it was a half-hearted attempt to look tough, not attempted murder) on the ripped up marshalling yards which served two great coal mines where presumably the lad's Grandad worked, powering Great Britain. The Holiday Inn is now surrounded by 'Noddy Houses', what dignity, what dignity? p.s. I deliver this insight on the last day of coal generated Power Stations in Great Britain (has anyone seen any batteries being built?) and the last day of a Coal fired Blast Furnace in Wales, so no capacity to make steel in the whole of the country and I suppose we're reliant on France for electricity from now on ...... not great preparation for a war is it?
I had the privilege of seeing Dr Starkey speak 6 months ago - an incredible man who makes today's MPs look like intelletual pygmies. The ONLY way Britain can stop our demise is to elect Reform in 5 years.....unless the Conservatives can become Conservatives again and root out the liberals posing as Tories.
If you want an overarching theme to Britishness it is our Judeo-Christian culture. Without that foundation upon which all else is built you can establish nothing. David mentions Westminster Abbey without once referring to the faith that underpins it. Unless we get back to our foundational Christian principles we will remain lost.
Although David Starkey is a bit of a windbag I do like a good intellectual debate. Not sure what we solved here though. We need a visionary leader to drive the UK back in the right direction with a forward-looking optimistic outlook.

The ego is the programming that makes you unhappy and dissatisfied. The ego is just programming; it isn’t an entity, as many imagine-a little you inside your head-although it feels like that at times. The ego is the programming that shapes what the voice in your head says to you. By examining the voice in your head, you can get to know the ego.
This programming provides a way of perceiving life. It is a viewpoint-the ego’s viewpoint-and that viewpoint is deeply flawed. The ego doesn’t see life as it truly is. You are programmed to misperceive life. And you are programmed to try to fix what you perceive by doing and getting rather than by being: by looking within yourself and discovering what is actually true and, thereby, releasing yourself from the suffering caused by the ego’s misperceptions.
The ego is the programming that creates unhappiness and then offers solutions to that unhappiness.
The problem is that the solutions don’t work, at least not for long, not to mention that this programming is the cause of your suffering in the first place. Without the ego, you would be happy and content and kind to each other. The way to happiness, contentment, and love, therefore, is to see the truth about the programming, to see that it is false.
Seeing the truth about it is tricky, though, because you are programmed to believe your programming. Your programming seems true, and it is ingrained, automatic, and compelling. Your programming is very convincing! To discover the falseness of your programming, you have to be willing to examine it and question it. This is no small order; it can be quite scary to take this step. Questioning your programming is like questioning your very foundations.
Questioning the programming puts you on shaky ground. What will happen to you if you do?
But to become free of the programming, much more is needed. It isn’t enough to just be convinced that your programming is false, because the programming is still operating in every moment.
The programming doesn’t stop just because you have learned the truth about it. It continues as it always has.
For the programming to stop or not run you anymore, it has to be disassembled piece by piece. The false beliefs produced by the programming have to be seen as false, one by one, moment to moment. That is the work, and this is bound to take time.
This work requires that you be aware of the thoughts that run through your mind. And even that is not enough, for you also have to see that those thoughts are false and stop believing them. Then, there’s one more thing you have to do: Turn your attention to the present moment instead of the voice in your head.
So, breaking free from the programming involves four things:
1. Understanding that the voice in your head is the cause of suffering and that it is not your voice but the voice of your programming (that’s the easy part),
2. Becoming aware of the thoughts in the thought-stream, which I’ve been calling the voice in your head.
This awareness is developed in meditation,
3. Inquiring into the thoughts in the thought-stream that you still believe until you are convinced that they aren’t true, useful, or worthy of your attention, and
4. Turning your attention away from the realm of thought to real life, to the present moment. That ability to disengage from your thoughts is also developed in meditation.
Meditation is critical to this process. Meditation is the antidote to being caught up in the voice in your head and taking on its perceptions. Meditation develops the skills needed to disassemble the programming. Without a daily practice of meditation, the process of detaching from the voice in your head will take much longer, possibly lifetimes.
Meditation will accelerate your emotional and spiritual evolution like nothing else.
I love David Starkey! He makes the BEST docs about the English monarchies!
They struck him down and he came back more powerful than they could possibly imagine.
There's only one monarchy in the UK. And that one's missing in action.
Imagine the world if we had leaders with his this mans wit and intelligence.. instead of the mediocre pickings we have now.
I’m an Englishman that moved to Pennsylvania a decade ago. Honestly, this place feels more like England than back home in Manchester now.
I am an " English Refugee" living in Bulgaria and I feel more at home than I do in the UK! England is barley recognisable as the country of my birth.
I returned to my home town for a visit last year and i looked more like the Gaza Strip!
That's sad. I'm from Kent and even there it's changing rapidly
15 years in the far east specifically Hong Kong before all the crap happened but still feels more like home than the UK now. Work hard make money and live a good life because you keep most of what you earn and not taxed to death, plus you don't have to worry about being mugged by a 15 year old.

First trip to the UK was 2006. I stayed with English friends at Wandsworth.
From their flat, I walked all over London. The Tower, Imperial War Museum, Oxford St etc.
Had fish and chips in Pimlico with my mate , who immigrated to Australia and he did it the right way. Drank many pints of real ale, ate cumberland sausages and mash, caught the tube allover London, rode the double decker buses to. Did the whole tourist bit and felt my english and welsh heritage. Sadly I wont go back, the London I loved in 2006 has gone, corrupted by bad actors and political sycophants and I fear there is no end in sight. And my sense is Starmer will make it worse. Wake up England take your country back.
I hear you . I emigrated to Australia from the uk in the late 80s and try to visit family every couple of years. During this time I have sadly watched as the uk successive government have made mistake after after mistake hoping I was wrong. Everybody looks sad and angry. The streets look neglected and everything is very expensive. Last visit I witnessed racism like you wouldn’t believe and because an African lady wasn’t sure which bus to get on and was holding up the queue. Each visit it seems things are worse than before and everyone asks if I can take them back with me. I can’t believe what’s happened to the country of my birth that I still love dearly. Not saying that Oz is not having their own issues though but we are not far down that slippery slope so there’s still time to improve things.
No point in waking up. It is just too late. The simple mathematics of procreation has seen to that, and it will hit home with overwhelming force within 10 years.
I'm from Wandsworth, do not come back. It's awful here...
It’s sad that something so rich and proud has been recklessly vandalised. I’m glad to hear you’ve had that wonderful experience and remember it so fondly. You’re lucky at least for that. Now England is being subsumed into a globalists fever dream which is nothing anyone who matter would ever want or ask for.

David is correct on most things but the collapse of education in Wales has nothing to do with the Welsh language. Most children in Wales don’t attend a Welsh medium school and Welsh medium schools generally perform better than their English medium counterparts. The collapse of education in Wales is 100% down to Welsh Labour.
yes I agree 👍🏴
Obviously, who else
he is wrong about wanting DIEversity in our countries it always leads to ethnic and civil wars boomers live in a different world from the younger generations.
Yeah, he definitely assumed correlation implying causality there. Welsh has always been taught and the standard was better so it’s definitely not a language issue.
He just means if you spend time learning X you spend lest time learning Y. And Y might be more useful overall. Might. There is choice.
Hey brothers .. an American here 🇺🇸.. England set the standard.. take it back.. there’s a whole lot of us over here across the pond that think very highly traditional England 🏴
God bless you Nathan
Not all of us here in the US have the same view as you about England; if anything, it was France that set the standards considering they eradicated the French monarch, and thanks to France the US gained its independence from the English
@@suntzu94 It was in part thanks to the public traditions we got from Britain that we were able to part company with King George without France's reign of terror, and kept much of the common law precedent instead of having something like the Napoleonic Code. And it was the French monarchy that helped us gain independence, not the French Republic (any of them), though certainly Lafayette had general revolutionary or at least reform notions when he served in the Continental Army. It can hardly be maintained that the elimination of the French monarchy IMMEDIATELY brought about an improvement and advancement of liberty in France or in Europe, much less that it did us any tangible good. And the revolutionary government imprisoned Lafayette and Thomas Paine. While Napoleon conveniently sold us the Louisiana Purchase, he is hardly the champion of liberty he cosplayed as (when he wasn't cosplaying as emperor).
Certainly the ideas behind the US Constitution in general and the Bill of Rights in particular find their source in the traditions of the rights of Englishmen, the Magna Carta, and English common law, though I assert we helped the tradition along. If we hadn't provided a relatively benign example of representative government, the UK might well have reacted differently to the French Revolution, if any.
@@digitalnomad9985 How much help did Napoleon give the US colonists, or did you skip that chapter? The US is a republic just like France, the forefather of the US. Conversely, England is considered a democracy, but you can't have a sitting monarch and lack a First and Second Amendments. The English are weak and now the laughingstock of the world

A nation with large numbers of immigrants cannot have identification with an historical continuity as a unifying factor and this was recognized in Sweden when a government decree abolished Swedish history. The decree states the since large sections of the Swedish people do not have a common history this can no longer be a unifying factor and instead being Swedish today means identifying with a common set of values. The problem for Sweden is that large sections of the Swedish people do not have a common set of values either and the once ethnically homogeneous and peaceful Sweden is disintegrating in rampant crime and chaos.
Sweden was the first country to commit national suicide. My friends there will not even let their daughters out in the streets. Sweden was killed by its own tolerance.
It’s what happens when you import the most conservative misogynistic homophobic Iron Age people into your modern liberal western country- and force it on your people!
You voted for it Sweden , now deal with it!
What a beautiful nation Sweden once was. It's a tragic shame they've disintegrated in the chaos of multiculturalism.
@@70AD-user45 It is tragic what has happened to Sweden. I lived and worked in Sweden in the early 1970's, I learned the language and loved the country and it's people. Sweden was beyond doubt the best country in Europe, the Swedes called it the Folkhemmet, People's home, and it really was, it was safe, clean, friendly and peaceful with very little crime and a well functioning health service and welfare state. I visited Sweden regularly over the years and watched the slow decline but I've not been back there for about four years or so, decades of mass immigration have destroyed what was once a fantastic country. It is incredible but the Swedes did it to themselves, they opened their borders and let the third world flood into their country in massive numbers and now the best country in Europe is no more.
Listening to David Starkey's discourse ( and it's always a discourse, irrespective of who interviews him) always takes me back to the 1970s and my days as a 'perennial student,' being schooled in British social and economic history by an extraordinarily learned but generous scholar; and taught the principles of the British Constitution by two, old school ( 'Queen and country'), card-carrying members of the Labour Party; and finally, tutored by Dr. Spence in the labyrinthine subject of Modern World History.
Such gifted teachers whose knowledge and understanding were unsurpassed. Halcyon days indeed.
Very bright and articulate bloke! And he is still just one of us, a regular, solid Brit!

David, i have three adorable first generation migrant grandchild, through adoption.
I at first instinctively and then consciously have done just has you suggested. I have sought to make them aware of our history and our nature and to love it as i do. I beleive it has been a success until they hit secondary school. I shudder to think what they are being told about me and my ancestors. The eldest is the " diversity monitor " and instead of melting into our way of life they become evermore aware of their blackness and being African .
Until we legislate to end DEI, Critical Race Theory in schools and Universities , integration and adoption and love of our country is a steep up hill battle.
The most relevant political movement of yesteryear that implemented race theories were the Nazis who are the historical counterparts of today's transnationalists socialists/globalists socio-fascists with their Third Worldism agenda and their secular Hegelian religion/cultism (known as wokeness here in the US).
This woke education system is corrupting our children. Please do your best to stop those kids from believing in everything woke! Those kids will be the future of Britain. Think about that!,
My advice to you is to make them laugh . Get them to laugh at the stupidity . The woke have no defence against humour .
That's the issue, you need to enforce ethics and history, not expect the state to end it, you must end it. There is nothing strong about being a weak victim, which is what DEI promotes.

Bizarre.
Starkey is, of course, correct, but all this has been obvious for many years. He does make a good point about Starmer being the ultimate embodiment of the vile, corrupt, disaster that is the British state, but when Labour won in July, I too sensed that they represented the end point.
Isn’t it sad? At one time the Labour Party represented something so great. Now it’s so confused.
@@LlyleHunter Not confused. It has clearly become the party of the elites, sneering with contempt at everyone else.

@@larrydugan1441 There is no way back for you now. All you are is a cautionary tale for those of us who would acknowledge your self-imposed demise.
You don't have to be Right of centre to like Dr Starkey.
Dr. Starkey's views on the Welsh language are ill-informed and the alleged consequences of the study of the language are certainly demanding of sceptical scrutiny. Nobody would suggest that studying French or German as a second language or Latin as a basis for the study of language itself would reduce the educational attainment of the student body. The problem is socialism, as manifested by the disasterous Welsh Labour Government that fundamentally rejects academic achievement as an aspiration for the young unless in the service of its political purpose.

The problem is WHO is being imported. You'd never have such massive issues with other populations than those specific demographic groups... mainly ANY muslim group and ANY sub-saharan group, the patterns are the same all over the world and the numbers like crime stats eerily similar.
Islam, mainly, needs to go, period. And as long as we havent' realised that, we'll keep banging our heads against the wall. Not all cultures, nor beliefs systems, nor ideologies are equal and some need to be treated as the danger they factually pose.
Tolkien was an expert on language, much more so than David Starkey. Tolkien loved the Welsh language.
FACTS
Right. His nonsense re bronze-age languages was a disappointingly tiresome old saw.
He’s an English supremacist and that’s fine. But he knows England is falling and he can’t handle it.
After all the orks spoke it
Did Starkey say he didn't like Welsh? His point was is it right to mandate it if it takes time away from the opportunity to learn others that are more desirable in the modern world like Mandarin, French etc. It's like mandating the Scots and Northern Irish learn Gaelic. Students in those countries have the opportunity to, but it's not mandatory.
These guys beat around the bush for all this time and never grabbed the bull by the horn. The problem is the islamification and the islamists mentality. All other communities are and have adopted british values even after being discriminated by the natives for the longest time.

What an opinionated and pompous man. He claims that the poor quality of the Welsh education is due to Welsh language teaching. Firstly, most Welsh children do not go to Welsh speaking schools. Secondly, speaking two or more languages does not harm a child’s education as bilingual children tend to do better at school. On the contrary, such children are better able to consider multiple points of view and handle complex problems. In fact speaking multiple languages has been shown to improve health, increase longevity and reduce the incidence of dementia. And of course Welsh is part of the cultural heritage of Wales and its people.
LOL 'sheepshagger' ! Obviously and butt-hurt apparently ...
And your argument for 'wasting teaching time on Welsh' / 'languages is good' is crap !
Imho 😉
I'm apt to agree with you. Perhaps he's trying to find blame but picked the wrong target. Many students "waste" their time learning to speak Latin and Greek, but we don't say that makes their scores worse. I would go as far to include wholly made up languages like Klingon or Elvish. Sure there isn't much practical use for the languages, but the same can be said of advanced particle physics.
@@jimbo9305 Our education system serves universities, subjects are designed to create university fodder. We could teach more useful skills.
@@StillAliveAndKicking_ The American universities are the same. Most students are there to get a better-paying job. The college is padding the credit hours so they can get as much money as possible out of the student. At the end of 4 years the student has a piece of paper saying they can do the job but isn't any better than the guy who has been working the job for 4 years.
It's a bloated system that needs to be trimmed down.

Whoah, so basically you had your version of Mao's cultural revolution?!?! Blairism sounds like Maoism light

I speak Welsh fluently. And I find it quite useful.
While I don't think the top-down imposition of the language is the best use of our time and energy, that isn't to say it's useless. It wouldn't have survived this long if it was. It's not as if its existence and adoption over time has been solely dependent on the government propping it up. After all, there was a long time when the opposite was true. People speak it because they want to!
I think it's a shame that one of the clearest advocates of conservatism seems so eager to dismiss an entire language. After all, like all languages, Welsh is an evolved cultural artifact that embodies the history, identity and experiences of its people over centuries. British people, no less.
As I understand conservatism, the idea is that our traditions should be revered, in part, because they contain knowledge and serve important societal functions that we may not even know about explicitly. Rejecting them out of hand, or making too many changes to them too quickly, runs the risk of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
So, as a Welsh speaker and proud Briton, I say to Starkey: What we have is not nothing.
Outside of Wales it is completely and utterly useless. The time would be better spent learning Spanish, mandarin or French
@DJRockford83 People who choose to speak a particular language don't necessarily do so because it travels well. There are countless other possible reasons to learn a language.
If you're talking about compulsory education, I can see your argument. I imagine compulsory Welsh lessons in English-medium schools in Wales put most pupils off it entirely. Of course, that's true of many subjects.
Note that all secondary schools in Wales (as far as I'm aware) offer either French, German, or Spanish.
I'm English that has lived in Wales and good knowledge of the language, Starkey got it wrong here I think he's too angry to see the wood from the trees on this one even if what he's trying to convey holds water - Englishness is nothing to a lot.
I'm on your side 100% I intend to move back to Wales and become fully fluent. Your culture matters bud.
This was the one point where i too disagreed with Starkey, losing any living language is irreversible, but to lose one of our nations' own is unacceptable! i'm English...
Yes, I agree. He also threw unemployed people under the bus too. Like they sit around and do nothing? Sit in the lounge and watch tv with a pint of larger?
A lot of people, especially women (older women) are out in the community doing free labour. Volunteering their time in community groups. Yes, some of it is just 15 hours a week, A lot of it is much more time, much unrecognized, a lot unacknowledged.
I think he is a bit of a wind bag. 😕
Starkey's great and all....but Andrew Gold had Tommy Robinson!!!!
He makes many good points, but his ideas about Welsh education are idiocy. The Welsh language doesn’t hold back the children.
I recently spoke to my daughters teacher and she explained that not only are the children behind the rest of Britain, but that it was ok that they were behind, as the children were happy and feel good about themselves, the children are kept completely in the dark about the fact they are falling behind and are instead told how wonderful they are doing.
Secondly I was told that my daughters school is no longer teaching subjects individually, they all now fall under the heading of humanities, as such opinions and feelings are more important than being correct, including in maths and science.
After this conversation I am now trying to save what I can so I can leave wales and go find a proper education for my daughter.
It’s such a pity that he has such Ill favour and a very un polite attitude towards a language and culture in which pre dates the English language on this island. There is no evidence of learning Welsh stops the educational standards of children within Wales. Learning more than one language and the dynamics of such only supports the development of a child’s learning progression. There are many schools in the north of England where young men are falling behind in there maths and English skills and that is not due to learning a alternative language. That is due to funding, society problems that we all share within the British isles for the last 20 years.
Tolkien who was a master of language and it’s origins saw Welsh as the grandfather language of this island and off its soil. It’s a culture that has withstood 100s of years of the very attitudes that he expressed in this video.
Welsh is not a back water language, it has structure meaning and law in how it is spoken, many like this gentleman ignore this because in my personal belief it dismantles there ignorance. The language I also feel shows envy to the fact that it has such deep roots in folk law and history as well as some of the oldest written story’s in Europe in which smears the idea that we are a slower cousin of our English Friends.
Lots of respect for mr starkly but on this matter he is wrong, and unless you live and work within Welsh speaking communities you can’t understand how much the language connects you to the land.
500k still speak Welsh and god willing many more to come to keep this culture of Wales and the uk alive for years to come
The pompous ass acts as if most of English's academic and scientific vocabulary isnt from French and Latin.
Every natural language is complex and can be used, with some modifications perhaps, in every domain of life including science and industry.
But it takes money, will, and effort.
As a woman in my 70's I went through the horror of that period in the 1970's under the whip of Labour and the crass ineptitude of the Tories before them. Lights out across London, unions taking us all to the cleaners because they were marxist and they didn't give a fk about people . Political ideology was all they cared about. My aspirations coming out of school were maimed by these idiots. Now I have witnessed the coming storm and I saw the Labour party coming into power after the gross negligence of the Tories I knew what we were in for. God I despise the lot of them but I really despise Labour and Tony Blair trying to wrest as much power as he could away from parliament and the people.The labour party really are the worst authoratarians.

The challenge I have with Starkey is that he talks a good game but doesn't actually provide anything tangible.
Listening to Starkey is like reading a newspaper - it tells you a lot, but it's only real world use is as a fly swatter or something to wipe your backside with.

David makes many keen observations here, but the totality is slightly incoherent. He could do with committing his thoughts to paper in an attempt to order and prioritise them.
I like David Starkey but I certainly do not agree with him on the Welsh, in my (humble) opinion they are the true Brits of this island and have a very rich history that goes way back in time that has been deliberately suppressed, see the books written by Wilson and Blackett, and I speak as a Lancastrian Englishman.

Indeed, ironic though that the Western portion fell very quickly because of similar invasions by migrants. At least the Roman government attempted to stop it.
His attitude to Welsh is dreadful.
First of all, there are about 650,000 native Welsh speakers in Wales, whose children need instruction in their native language. Without that instruction Welsh is doomed first to illiteracy and degradation, then to extinction. The same thing that happened to Cornish when people were forced to read and write in English. Once the language dies, so does the culture, and you can't really resurrect it. Secondly, he's wrong that it's an "unreformable medieval" language, and this really shows Starkey's limited historical range. It is true that many of the words related to "modernity" in Welsh came from English, but English got many of those words from Latin- including "reform" and "modern". The presence of loan-words rather than an attempt to retrofit native compound-words for novel concepts indicates that the language is both healthy and "modern".

A government too big to support itself. That has been the situation in the Disunited States since the mid to late 60s and early 70s with the introduction of the massive welfare/regulatory state by first LBJ and then completed by Nixon.
I think this entire argument is wrong. The English lost their confidence after WWI and have been in a nosedive ever since. And since the Victorians interwove patriotism and faith (in Christianity) when the people lost faith in their govt and institutions they also lost faith in Christianity. And that was the beginning of the end of the British Empire. And what Blair did in the 90's was just a continuation of 75 years of precedent of generations of British acting out their loss of confidence in themselves, their culture, and their religion. And its almost humorous how it takrs watching your culture literally die before you eyes to wake up people. But its too late, born / bred British women don't even want to reproduce. You see it in British media with the ridiculous race swapping in historical shows. Its a conquered / surrendered culture. And these folks here are just at the wake, weeping over the corpse that was the 20th century England.
I’d agree with elements of your argument. However, I disagree with your statement on British women not wanting to reproduce. Triggernometry have broadcasted podcasts on this issue previously.
The number of women WANTING children has not changed. The number of women who go on to have those children, or the number they might have if no other factors restricted them, has decreased. Partly as a result of women being told they must aspire for full careers (delaying serious relationships etc), partly expectations for what one should be providing children (££), partly traditional markers of adulthood being delayed by soaring costs (high rental costs meaning people live with parents longer etc), partly other cultural changes including parenthood becoming very isolating as we’ve lost “the village”/the economic need for two income households, among a plethora of other factors.
Anyway, this was just a recommendation for their other podcasts and experts on this issue. It’s very interesting!
Starmer's government is bound to fail and fail quickly.

You want to watch classic David Starkey check out the trial of Richard III. It's on YT and it took place in 80s.

@@vanessadebrino7231 I think I'm thinking of a later documentary. I know Henry 7 was a popular villain in my childhood. However David Starkey did convince me it was Richard 3. Jane Shore, who was in a position to know, told Thomas Moore the name of a common criminal hired by Richard to perform the act. And Moore published this account. This man was later in court on charges of theft. Starkey discovered that both Henry 7 and Elizabeth of York attended this court case of a commoner, despite being in deep mourning for their son Arthur, and Elizabeth being heavily pregnant with the pregnancy that would result in her death. The man was hung. I find this rather convincing.

I have yet to hear anyone who says diversity is our strength produce an example. And I ask directly.
It’s your country. You have every reason to expect imports to join the program and insist that they leave if they do not.
The way Starkey describes the modern approach of Britain to imports. It reminds me of the Gene Rodenberry approach. This worked on television, but does not work in real life.
Education outside the classroom. I very much enjoyed this session because it brought back moments when my father was giving me things to live by. I have treasured those moments ❤ thank you.
Is it not conjecture to blame any welsh schooling failures on the teaching of the ancient welsh language to children in schools. Learning 2 languages at a younger age must be a boon to the education of any youths.

I like David Starkey and find him interesting to listen to, but there are two errors which I take issue with in his comments.
Firstly, he is utterly wrong about Welsh and education in Wales, as this is not the issue at all, and in fact children were punished for speaking Welsh at school.
Welsh is spoken as a first language in North Wales in many communities, and is not the issue as he makes out, it is the Welsh Labour Party, who are equally responsible for the Welsh NHS and the mess it is in.
Secondly, the Beveridge Report actually said that in order for the Welfare State to function properly, the voluntary sector was an essential pillar.
Regrettably, the Labour Government chose to ignore that advice.

The Holiday Inn is now surrounded by 'Noddy Houses', what dignity, what dignity?
p.s. I deliver this insight on the last day of coal generated Power Stations in Great Britain (has anyone seen any batteries being built?) and the last day of a Coal fired Blast Furnace in Wales, so no capacity to make steel in the whole of the country and I suppose we're reliant on France for electricity from now on ...... not great preparation for a war is it?
Didn't like his views during COVID at all, but talks sense here
Especially his views on jabs
He's 79, cut him some slack and move on.
@@mrror8933yep, almost dead. Times change fast
I had the privilege of seeing Dr Starkey speak 6 months ago - an incredible man who makes today's MPs look like intelletual pygmies. The ONLY way Britain can stop our demise is to elect Reform in 5 years.....unless the Conservatives can become Conservatives again and root out the liberals posing as Tories.
If you want an overarching theme to Britishness it is our Judeo-Christian culture. Without that foundation upon which all else is built you can establish nothing. David mentions Westminster Abbey without once referring to the faith that underpins it. Unless we get back to our foundational Christian principles we will remain lost.
Yes, Starkey is missing it because he is an atheist.
Although David Starkey is a bit of a windbag I do like a good intellectual debate. Not sure what we solved here though. We need a visionary leader to drive the UK back in the right direction with a forward-looking optimistic outlook.
