David Starkey on Southport, Grooming Gangs and Multiculturalism

Welcome to this Special Episode of the Sceptic, with Professor David Starkey CBE, the eminent and acerbic historian, author and broadcaster.

In a wide-ranging conversation, host Laurie Wastell and Professor Starkey discuss the grooming gangs scandal, why Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter represents the end of the long 20th Century, Trump’s second term, free speech, state censorship and the “noble lie” of multiculturalism, the parallels between communism and liberalism and why Keir Starmer’s response to the Southport massacre has been “contemptible beyond contempt”. In the premium section, they discuss English individualism and why it gave birth to the modern world, the challenge of imported ethnic tribalism, national identity in an age of immigration and what is to be done.
