David Starkey stirs controversy by comparing the SNP to Nazis

"You have a particular group of people who are responsible for this; it is either the English or the Jews." Yes that's right - Starkey genuinely compared the views and attitudes of the SNP to English people to those of the Nazis towards Jews. Regardless of whether he expressed such comments as pure mischief or genuine sentiments, they are crass and insensitive to put it mildly. The tedious TV 'personality' went on to make rambling comparisons regarding national dress, likening kilts to Germanic shorts. The SNP's Kirsten Oswald MP was far more eloquent in her response to Starkey's comments: "He has become little more than a serial utterer of bile and bilge."
