[lg policy] David Starkey: 'The whites have become black'

[Damien Hall]

The fallout from David Starkey's ill-advised speech on the BBC's _Newsnight_ programme continues.  A friend has drawn my attention to this video:

where Nabil Abdul Rashid, a black comedian, makes nine minutes of serious, trenchant, well-informed points against Starkey, Well worth a viewing.
