Dear BBC,
I'm writing to you in reference to the recent episode of News Night featuring David Starkey.
This is a letter of complaint regarding his outburst on National Television when outlining reasons as to why the London riots occurred. In the interview he accuses an entire race of being responsible for the commencing of the riots. Not only was his comments and argument racist, it was prejudice and also stereotypical. I felt that it was disgracefully and distasteful for he alone, to blame the entire ordeal on the Black Culture so freely and proudly.
To add insult upon injury, when Dreda Say Mitchell brought up the argument of the White Public were also involved in the riots he gladly stated that 'The whites have become black'. This suggest that the black culture had negatively influence the white community. He consideration and respect for the other members of the panel is minimal and none existent to some extent. This is clearly shown to the audience when he describes their views and opinion as 'hysterical'.
Further more, he has to audacity to quote Enoch Powell's "Rivers Of Blood" speech. I don't believe this aided his debate in any way shape or form; if anything made it his downfall for the 'Rivers of Blood' speech attacked immigration.
I feel that for the sake of the the reputation of News Night, David Starkey should be severely dealt with.
I would urge you to look over at the interview and understand my reasons for my complaint.
Your Sincerely
Amiee Wolf
