Dr David Starkey: Black Lives Matter Aims To Delegitimate British History

Dr David Starkey, TV historian and political commentator, takes Reasoned’s Darren Grimes through the scholarship (or lack thereof) behind Black Lives Matter. Dr Starkey argues, as he did recently for The Critic Magazine, that the political movement behind Black Lives Matter (far removed from the laudable slogan), aims to delegitimate the whole of British history. As well as allowing the interview to take a personal note whilst discussing cancel culture at his alma mater, Cambridge University, Dr Starkey concludes that, despite all of the current craziness and chaos, he’s optimistic for Britain’s future.
