David Starkey, Newsnight and Guido Fawkes

I have just watched a clip of David Starkey on Newsnight chaired by Emily Maitlis on Guido Fawkes's blog  http://order-order.com/ and voted 'no' in his poll on whether or not one thought Starkey was racist. Starkey was trying to make a point which sadly he was never able to complete. He was trying to point out I think that there is a Jamaican gang culture in London which is followed by both back and white kids which is something to be worried about as it glorifies violence and the kind of rioting we saw on our streets last week. Furthermore I think he was going to go on and say that Jamaican gang culture would have encouraged the looting which he called 'shopping with violence'. Difficult to know if my assumptions are right since as I said Starkey never got to finish what he wanted to say which was infinitely more interesting than anything said by Owen Jones who could only mouth platitudes of the anti race establishment. The other 'guest', Dreda Say Mitchell, was hardly more interesting than Jones but did make the valid point that we live in a materialistic world, our children are told that success equals money and the looting was all about materialism.
