Paid Members Psygnosis Posted August 12, 2011 Paid Members Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) By the reaction on Twitter - I believe even for Starkey - this maybe his last appearance on the BBC. Edited August 12, 2011 by Psygnosis
Vice Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) Wow. Jaw-dropping amount of racism from David Starkey on Newsnight. this maybe his last appearance on the BBC. I hope not. Vile people like him need to have their views refuted and to be put in their place for all to see. Edited August 12, 2011 by Vice

METAL ON METAL Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14513517 3:32 - astounding. Bloody hell! Thats bad even by his standards.
Van Dammer Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 Havnt been able to listen to it yet but is it really 'racist' per se? Is referring to a black culture actually racist? As I said I've not heard it so there may be more to it.
Glen Quagmire Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 I seriously hope Starkey knows that Ali G wasn't a real person...
ajpiles Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 BNP/EDL raid the comments section of an article asking if Starkey was being racist. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/tobyyoun...ght-last-night/ "When a black person says he wants our 'respect' (which he hasn't earned anyhow) - he really means he wants us to FEAR him." "Starkey should be our new immigration minster" "Killing blacks is obviously a privilege only meant for blacks. I'd call that racist. But I wish they would up the kill rate."
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted August 13, 2011 Moderators Posted August 13, 2011 I have to say, the pan across at about 2 minutes when you first realise there's a black person been sat next to him the whole time is hilarious.

Smeg_&_The_Heads Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 Where I live someone told me they saw some parents dropping their kids off and telling them to pull their hoods up to get ready to go rioting. I don't know if that was true or not but in London ect it wouldn't surprise me if some parents did send their kids out to riot and loot and maybe even joined them.
The King Of Swing Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 That sounds like tabloid level bollocks to me to be honest.
Kiffy Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 That sounds like tabloid level bollocks to me to be honest. Well on the basis there's footage of families taking part in the looting I'd say it's reasonably plausable that there are one or two examples of that or something similar. The tabloid bit comes when a few examples gets repeated as "And the parents were encouraging them," in relation to all the rioters.
The King Of Swing Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 Fair point. Oh and now we even have an Olympic ambassador in court for rioting and looting fucking hell.
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted August 13, 2011 Paid Members Posted August 13, 2011 Yeah, but her Mum that reported her to the police, not encouraged her.
big mickey Posted August 13, 2011 Author Posted August 13, 2011 Starkey fucked right up there, should have said "Gangsta Culture" or suchlike.
