Dunno which Churchill he's talking about. How is this guy still considered a historian??

David Starkey: "When human rights were invented by Churchill, they were intended to protect the individual against the state. The left has redesigned them to protect minorities against the majority."

TalkTV yesterday

RabBrucesSpider1,

@fkamiah17 The fact that he thinks Churchill invented human rights shows how poor a historian he is. But he’s always been more interested in promoting British exceptionalism than actual history. I recall once reading him pontificating about “Lesser nations” like Canada. For me, that was when he blew his cover masquerading as a historian.

@RabBrucesSpider1 @fkamiah17 He’s a racist shit. He declared that Scotland, Ireland and Wales are "feeble little countries”, unlike his beloved England.

I'm reading a biography of the English King Edward II. His army is about to get crushed by the feeble Scots at the Battle of Bannockburn.

@JoeQuinlan @RabBrucesSpider1 @fkamiah17 I imagine if any Scottish, Welsh or Irish female stood up to Starkey in the street he’d have a heart attack on the spot.

This is David.
David can’t make normal conversation and has been trapped in a small racist circle with Melanie Phillips and Andrew Roberts for many years.
If you could help David - just £5 could buy a Ladybird Book of Nonracist History - please donate now.

@BashStKid I'd rather set fire to the fiver tbh.

@ExtraPenguin If you call that living, I suppose he is 😁

@fkamiah17 @Dtl Winston Churchill was involved with what became the European Convention of Human Rights in the late 1940's post war, but he didn't invent it

@peter @Dtl The same one that Starkey and other people of his ilk want us to leave.

@fkamiah17 @Dtl FFS & timed in time for the local election's as well, can't think they could sink lower than that but looks like they have

fkamiah17,
@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@peter @Dtl Exactly. They want all the gammons cheering and to cause an uproar in the press when protests start.

@peter @fkamiah17 @Dtl Starkey’s historical revisionism in many areas is jawdropping. He absolutely despises Scotland, Wales and NI. Once described as a "serial utterer of bile and bilge" - an excellent description.

@Lassielmr @peter @Dtl Bilge is such a great word.

@fkamiah17 Um, the rights of the minority should be part of the state? Did I get wrong?

fkamiah17,
@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@richard You got it more right than the historian.

@fkamiah17 WTF he was always a RW and Churchill apologist but that’s pure fantasy

fkamiah17,
@fkamiah17@toot.wales avatar

@Nicovel0 Hes not the only "historian" to have a meltdown over the protests.

@fkamiah17 😂 He's missed his own analogy.

@weilawei That's not all he's missing 😁
