David Starkey: Victims

“All forms of liberation – and I speak as gay and I was in all this when it wasn’t fashionable, when you didn’t get your CBE for being a prominent poofter, when there were actual penalties for doing it – all of them depend upon you taking control. About you refusing to be victim. And I find it very, very sad the way there is now this perpetual procession of people – group after group – wanting to assume the status of victim. It’s catastrophic.”

From an interview in the Telegraph.

Yes, some people do wallow in victimhood, but the doctor - tellingly - gives Doreen Lawrence as an example, which is so scummy.

Dr David also denies he's a racist and sexist - and then proceeds to say some unfeasibly racist and sexist things. 

He'll be voting Tory, by the way.

  1. Isn't it sinister, the way people who are victims are being encouraged to declare, "I'm not a victim"? Just the sort of mind-set that ties in so nicely with Tory ideas that we aren't dependent on others, either for good or for ill.
