[vorgotheon]

I just discovered this channel and have thanked God for sating my appetite for intellectually engaging historical discussion.

[peacefamily]

Thank you for your really interesting podcast. 👍 Much appreciated

I was just thinking I wanted to read Blake's book on Disraeli. I need to learn more about angloland.

[realrhetoric]

Thanks so much! I hope the other Cigar Stream appearances of his truly will also show up here on his channel.

Something I don’t quite understand is the reason for Britain to antagonize the Russians in favor of the ottomans.
Was Russian influence in the balkans and Mediterranean really that threatening to British holdings or was there further motive for Turkish presence in Europe? Or was it totally justified and Russia would have continue to expand west?

I kept expecting Mr Arlis ( ? ) to suddenly retreat from his temperate monologue on equality, & what have you, and dramatically cry out “ Pull da strings ! Bool da strings ! “, with a Middle European accent..

55:00 minute - the hidden hand. Unconscious on the part of the actor, or mimicry of the real thing? And Paul Keating, Australian Labor PM in the early 1990s, left school at 15.

Britain has lied so much about the economics of colonialism. It was inevitable that they’d be found out now.

Starkey calls Disraeli a kind of philosophical descendant of Disraeli, but he distinguishes Disraeli as far more capable and blessed by innate talent, intellect, and culture than BoJo ever possessed. Disraeli, Starkey says understood both sides of the electorate he was appealing to than Johnson ever did.

Israeli allowing a certain diasporic to sit in the houses of parliament was the worst thing

[roseandswordpl]

I'd say Thatcher is more influential on modern British conservatism than Disraeli.

[krikorklenjian]

Can you explain your reactionary thought please. Thanks

1:18:50 this is the dirty detail of Free Trade no one wants to talk about or admit

[dutertefan]

Looks like my comment got removed.
I'll try it again without the links.
England under Lord Beaconsfield by Clayden
Disraeli by the Earl of Cromer

No boring word games for the first 45 mins 0/10

[davidgladstone]

Disraeli had been dead for 7 years in 1888.

2:30:10 what book is he referring to? anyone know?

Necker is someone who effectively defended the importance of property ownership as a prerequisite for admission into parlamentant.

The parlament, he thought, might otherwise risk devolving into an enviroment where factionalism and metaphysics dwarf stability and pragmatism. Upholding property rights protected by the legal order thus becomes a concrete concern shared by all members, wheras, on the opposite end, an "aristocracy of orators" would dimnish social stability inside as well as outside the walls of parlament

I dont understand what happened here, they were treating this like this was AA's show on AA's channel, AM even said once "I hate to plug my own show." Did I miss something? Also what happened to the ending?
