This is the moment that David Starkey was discussing immigration and Dreda Say Mitchell confronted him for making "patronising" comments about her.
Historian David Starkey was singing the praises of Britain: "We have a deep sense of rootedness, of cultural attachment, which has been astonishing in which it has embraced immigrant communities...in what I think is a genuinely extraordinary way." As he said this he gestured towards Dreda Mitchell.
Author Dreda Say Mitchell responded, "Don't you think that's a bit condescending, the way you said we embraced immigrants and looked at me? I was born in Plaistow. It just rang a bit patronising."
David insisted it was meant in the complete opposite way and compared the UK's treatment of immigrants to France where people with "her roots" would be treated differently.
"What, Plaistow?" Dreda asked and David asked her to be serious and she responded, "I am being serious. But this is the problem you look at me as something that's other. You said look at somebody like me, what does that actually mean?"
