      @@Released_Sausage I know his mother had to take to cleaning to support David in his early years and his father was rarely in his life or seen at home apart from coming back from work to sleep & eat. His father never even visited him in hospital during the years David had Polio and the operations for his two club feet he was born with.

    Dr Starkey's oratory is so original in its delivery; it is breathless and builds apace to a spellbinding crescendo. I could listen to him all day. An encyclopedic memory and still formidable and sharp at his ripe age.

    I have to say, I enjoyed Prof. Starkey's takedown of Suzannah Lipscomb's general theory about the etiological source of Henry VIII's tyranny. I have heard Lipscomb suggest that Henry was devastated to learn about Anne Boleyn's "adulteries," too. No he wasn't. Henry was devastated to learn about Anne's cousin, Catherine Howard's, adulteries. Whereas the intention to get rid of Anne was the reason that she was put in the dock for "adultery" in the first place. Henry was a tyrant because he liked to have his own way and he was imposing deep changes on the realm that a number of people disliked. Hence the resort to force and terror.

    THE RECALL OF MPS ACT 2015 (RECALL PETITION) REGULATIONS 2015.
    This instrument sets out the detailed procedure to be followed when a recall petition is triggered under the Recall of MPs Act 2015 (“the Act”). The Act provides for a recall petition to be held in an MP’s constituency if that MP has been found to have committed serious wrongdoing by Parliament or the Courts, thereby starting the process by which that MP may be unseated and a by-election held. These regulations prescribe how the petition should be conducted, the arrangements for signing the petition, the mechanism for challenging the outcome of a petition and the creation of offences in relation to the petition. Without this instrument the Act cannot be commenced.
    Kier Starmer was elected with 11,572 votes out of 71,300 voters, and so, if 12,000 people of that constituency sign a petition needing only 10% of that constituency and delivered to the local party chair person. The local party chairperson then must organise a by election. Then that constituency can vote out Kier Starmer.
    Ergo- we are saved.

    I have the strong impression that David Starky is emotionally very inexperienced if he really thinks Henry V111 was genuinly in love with Ann Boylin. Perhaps infatuated for a while after courting her sister (& apparently having sex with her - which is why, when Ann opened his letter in Heaver castle she exclaimed she would marry him or nothing!),but he'd already bankrupted the treasury & desperately needed the church's money to carry on with any war in France, or even continue running Englad.
