David Starkey, Black Culture and the Riots

Historian David Starkey has blamed 'a particular sort of black culture' for causing the riots. Do you agree with him? Plus Dr Pritpal Ruprai is here to answer health questions.

Historian David Starkey has blamed " a particular sort of black culture" for last weeks riots, do you agree with him?

In Friday's edition of Newsnight historian David Starkey made some outrageous statements about the cause of last weeks riots. He said that the "Chavs have become Black, the whites have become black" and that a black Gansta culture amongst the general population has taken hold. Can you understand where he is coming from? Do you agree with any of his comments or do you think his comments are very irresponsible and racist? Is it fair to make any links between what we saw on the streets last week and what he calls black culture?

After 2, we've got the Guru. Dr Pritpal Ruprai drops in to answer your health related questions.
