Is Roderick Spode not taking part?
David Starkey is an interesting one. A historian who presents himself on the BBC as a 'constitutional expert', although I am unaware of any evidence that suggests he knows more about the constitution than I do. It would be polite, and courteous, to call him 'eccentric'. My frank opinion would be more along the line that he's an utter ****. I thought that before he showed his political colours.
Correct. He's a historian whose expertise is the Tudor period. Anything outside of that he's either Pop-historian or blagging it.
He's had several books published and the only one that focused on the constitution was Magna Carta (which is now a relic, referred to more often by freemen of the land than actual lawyers).
