This is excellent: an ode to David Starkey over his comments on Newsnight, by the singer Melinda Hughes.

The ending is good.

Update: I got the name wrong earlier. Melinda Hughes is also on Twitter.

Blimey, this must have been done with minimal preparation. Would Melinda Hughes be pleased.

Trofim,

Golly gosh I thought it was quite good. It is a fact that Starkey is quite mad y’know? Perhaps your failure to realise that lessened your appreciation?

Starkey likes his medieval, thug, tyrant kings. He has a very odd obsession with Henry 8th

4. douglas clark

sally,

He is in lurve with Liz 1 apparently. What with her being dead a few hundred years and a virgiin to boot, I expect she is David Starkey’s favourite woman of all time. Just a wild guess.

@4 Douglas

Starkey is openly gay. He uses it to justify his other obnoxious qualities.

So, this is the first time that LC’ers have heard of Melinda Hughes is it? It says a lot for Sunny’s attention span that he can link to her page. So, nobody else noticed yet?

Awww, this is joyfully humourous and amazing.
