Stark truths about the choice of the BBC client

Why David Starkey - a professed historian of the elite - a guest on Newsnight to discuss the causes of the recent riots and looting? Others in the field can not understand why the BBC chose Starkey when so many other historians more qualified to choose from. More than 100 historians anger in an open letter printed in the Times Higher.

In our opinion, this was a particularly poor Starkey has professed to be a historian of the work of elite and non-academic focused on race and class - in fact, rejected these approaches. We are therefore surprised by the poverty of reductionist argument, which reflects their lack of understanding of the history of everyday life in modern Britain. It was obviously unsustainable and wrong.

The letter urges the BBC for not having "discredited" in his profession, calling Starkey in their programs solely on the basis of "his reputation and the reputation of the crime" [that] "remains convinced producers worth the money. "Or, if the BBC has to do, historians say, please, do not have the presenters" the historian David Starkey "to comment on issues outside their areas of expertise. "
