Fri 22/11/2024 16:49
This weeks podcast and article is centred on "BRF: Stability or Spectacle" as an approach to examining the role and perception of monarchies in general and how the BRF compare to the few Monarchies left. I have explored these topics, along with examples of how they apply to various global monarchies in terms of stability and spectacle.
Introduction: Framework for "Stability or Spectacle
- I am initially going to introduce the concept of monarchy and its traditional role in society.
- Define the dichotomy of "Stability vs. Spectacle" and its relevance to modern monarchies, particularly the British Royal Family (BRF).
Stability: What is Meant by a Monarchy being best known for its Stability for the Nation? Is this in fact true, and if so how, and if not, why not?
- How can monarchies symbolize continuity and national identity?.
- How is the potential for stability through non-political leadership and tradition.
- How can monarchies serve as a unifying force during national crises.

Media, Monarchy and Money
Episode 140
Introduction
This podcast will take a closer look (well as much as one can in a podcast without the gates of media hellscape opening wide and letting the clowns run free for a while) at the symbiotic relationships at play here, between media, the Monarchy and the Establishment. The following bullet points generally cover the discussion in this podcast. The list is as follows:-
Deep dive into certain areas:-
Explore how the media has historically shaped public perceptions of monarchy, from royal scandals to carefully crafted public images.
Highlight key moments where media coverage either bolstered or undermined the monarchy.
Analyse the quid-pro-quo relationship: exclusive access to royal stories in exchange for positive portrayals.
Investigate how tabloids sensationalize monarchy-related content to boost sales.
Discuss how media conglomerates balance profit motives with potential pushback from royal PR teams.
Outline the monarchy’s financial sources (e.g., Sovereign Grant, private estates, and tax exemptions).
Investigate allegations of misuse of funds or...

Setting the Framework of This Week’s Podcast
Introduction: We will begin with the recent revelations from Channel 4 Dispatches about hidden royal finances and alleged exploitation of vulnerable individuals. Emphasize that this is not an isolated incident but part of a larger pattern kept quiet for decades by the UK establishment.
Historical Context: I will briefly refer back to the French monarchy’s fall, highlighting the secrecy, entitlement, and sense of invincibility that fueled its end. This helps frame the UK monarchy’s behavior within a historical context of decline and disconnect from public sentiment.
Objective of this topic: This podcast will explore the risks of allowing such power without transparency, as well as the potential implications for the UK’s political and social fabric.
The Structural Risks of Monarchy Secrecy
Undisclosed Wealth and Power: We will explain how the monarchy’s wealth remains largely unexamined due to its protected status, which gives the institution unchecked financial and political power. Mention...
UK Monarchy Crumbling
Introduction
The British monarchy, a symbol of tradition, power and national identity for centuries. Its presence is deeply woven into the fabric of British society, its image emblazoned upon everything from currency to postage stamps. Beneath the veneer of opulence and ceremony, a question lingers. Is this venerable institution, once deemed unshakable, now teetering on the precipice of irrelevant? Is the UK monarchy in the face of changing social values and mounting public scrutiny slowly? Before our very eyes. This very question has become a subject of intense debate, dividing public opinion and igniting passionate discourse across the United Kingdom. While ardent monarchists cling to the notion of the crown as the vital thread in the nation's tapestry, a growing chorus of voices, particularly. Amongst younger generations view the institution. As an anachronism, a relic of a bygone era, this podcast delves into the heart of this debate. Embarking on a deep dive into the factors that have led...
UK News Media Has Gone Too Far Now
But They Will ‘Find Out’
SGUK Ep 137
131024
Hello, Ivy here.
This month’s podcast continues to explore the tactics used by the UK Monarchy family and associate groups to continue focussing on the activities of non tax payer funded Royal Family Members who were forced out of the UK to protect their mental health and to reduce the risk to their lives. Whilst at the same time, the tax funded Monarchy family continue to allocate more resources and time on vanity projects which constantly aim to destroy the reputation of the people who dared to leave, or to play dress up and live under the false belief that they are anointed and the Monarchy will be there for ever. The situation is now such that the Monarchy in its current state is there to spend money on giving the impression that UK Monarchy looks good to the world at large, and if it involves an extraordinary...

LET THEM EAT CAKE
Ep 135
Hello Ivy here. It has been a while. A couple of months in fact. It is my hope to make at least one podcast a month, but I am also working on other projects – most of which will become clearer next year. From now until the end of the year there is a lot of Sussex related projects underway, along with new ventures and above all else, I am protecting my health as much as I can. If I do not have reasonable health, I wont be able to complete projects underway at the moment. I did want to say one thing though, before we get into this next podcast. I feel proud of SGUK and its subscribers and members, because we focus on topics relating to H&M. In the last podcast, did you notice whilst focussing on the themes emerging from the entries on the Archewell website, one of the themes we looked at...
Episode 134
Still Slow Dancing in a Burning Room
Introduction
The Title of this podcast is taken from a song written and performed by one of my favourite musicians and writers, and that is “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” by John Mayer. I did a podcast in 2021 using the title of this track, and as I am revisiting the ongoing lack of foresight that exists in the UK figurehead family, it seemed appropriate to add the word “still” to the Title of this episode.
The overall theme of “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” revolves around the complexities and struggles of a relationship that is on the brink of collapse.
The burning room, a symbol of their relationship, communicates the chaos and destruction of their current state.
The slow dancing, a symbol of both their complacency and their initial love, communicates their lack of success in finding a solution for their problems. Though their love is passionate, as evidenced by the tone of Mayer’s doomed lover, it’s riddled with practical problems that can only result in the collapse of their...
IS IT THE POST THAT IS WANTED OR THE PRIVILEGE & PROTECTION THAT COMES
WITH IT? WHO WOULD BE KING?
Episode 133
Introduction
This week’s podcast is a little different to my usual content, but stay with me, and all will become clear. As most of you know, I have zero interest in the day to day fake news and battles between people who I have less than zero interest in what they do day to day. Drama is created to keep in the tabloid headlines, along with all the other fake emotional fall out between people that most of the population of the UK do not give a moment thought to in any week, let alone on a daily basis. Most of the population can name between 1 to possibly 3 people in the Royal Family on a good day, but beyond that most do not know or care who they are.
The creation of the Royal Rota, despite the official rationale given for...
UK ROYAL FAMILY AND MEDIA PSYCHOSIS ON GLOBAL DISPLAY
SGUK Episode 132
Introduction
Once again the UK Royal Family and its televised and printed media are devoting 87% (my opinion) of their time thinking of ways to control two people who left their roles as Senior Working Royals, and moved to another continent, to start earning income for themselves. The couple are not tax payer funded. The target of their incensed behaviour is the female of the duo (as is always the way in the misogynistic management style of the UK Monarchy) and this has been going on since the moment that the family and its friends in the media were informed that Meghan Markle a USA citizen, an actress and philanthropist was in a relationship with Prince Harry, the youngest son of Princess Diana and the current King Charles III. This information was placed into the main domain in June 2016 and for the first two years, the racist undertones were building...

There Can Be No Peace With Someone Who Wants to Destroy You
Remedy? Cut the Emotional Attachment
Introduction
Victims may respond to abuse in several ways including consuming drugs or alcohol, and/or by showing signs of humiliation, detachment, anger, and retaliation. Victims may also interpret abuse very differently including expressing feelings of guilt; this might depend on their social or cultural context. Victims can be resilient in some respects: it is important not to compare them to other victims but to consider how their day-to-day life has been affected. Refer to the Domestic Abuse prosecution guidance for further advice on self-defence and issues relevant to particular groups.
Stalking or Harassment
In cases of stalking or harassment, the support and safety needs of victims should be identified from the outset, and continually considered throughout the life of a case, by the police in dialogue with the prosecutor. Where available, this should also be informed by any specialist support the victim is receiving, for example, through an Independent...

Harry and Meghan Divorced You All in March 2020
Introduction
The podcast last week used the Kubler Ross model of the 7 Stages of Grief, to summarise the changing emotions and actions of the UK Establishment about Harry formally announcing on 8th January 2020 that he and Meghan were going to Step Back from their Senior Working Royal roles and leave the UK, with the aim to starting a new life independent from the UK taxpayers. The previous 4 years had taken a terrible toll on the mental health of the Sussexes and the only way they feel can focus on healing and starting a new life and find ways to generate income, is to go it alone and seek out opportunities. The risks to their lives has been increasing since 2016, and it has reached a point where for the sake of their mental health, it was necessary to step back from Royal working life and the sense of...

Denial/Desperate for Answers
Royal Family claimed to be blindsided by the Sussexes’ announcement about Stepping Back. False. Discussions had been going on for months. Prolonging the process unnecessarily for H&M it seems. H&M forced by a story being leaked by a tabloid newspaper, the Duke of Sussex issued a Statement on 8th January 2020 re Stepping Back from Senior Royal duties and to become financially independent of the Royal Family, commencing in the new financial year.
No financial activity in respect of Archewell Foundation in this year.
BRF & Royal Rota no longer in denial now. Strategy clearly moved on to ‘operation destroy the Sussexes’ by any means possible. Ie Try to destroy their credibility as business partners. Destroy their characters.

Why Do Once Successful Brands Fail and Others Survive?
SGUK Episode 128
Introduction
Why do large companies fail? The reasons are numerous; the world and its problems are more complex than ever. In this article, we examine three key factors - leadership, financial and differentiation.
Many large companies have failed. Some have gone bankrupt; others have substantially reduced in size and fallen from an industry leadership position. What caused their downfall, and what lessons have we learnt?
The world has changed dramatically since many well-known and trusted 'rocks' of business were born. However, reinvention, improvement, and the ability to disrupt the market is required at such a rate that many companies can't keep up.
In all of the examples and extracts from various reference sources, think of the UK Monarchy when you hear the points being made. Think of the Monarchy as The Firm not a Family. Think of the Firm as a business, and then the analogy becomes easier to transfer across to the issues...
Never Dim Your Light For the Sake of Others
Episode 127
Introduction
Sometimes when we are in our joy, creativity or passion, it can spark an unexpected reaction in other people. We feel that what we are expressing is good and positive (which it is) yet another person may react as though we have done something wrong or may even be a little hostile for no obvious reason.
All Sussex supporters who were around in the Royal Arena from 2016, will never forget the treatment of Meghan by members of the institution, their friends in media and government and key people in strategic positions who all did the bidding of this powerful family. All once an invisible arrangement but those of us who have ancestral information of similar treatment, and its modern day versions in recent centuries, we recognise abuse when we see it. All of those in the establishment know it too, but most of them cannot even admit to themselves never mind...
When A Narcissist Demands You Return to Your Place
on Their Chess Board
SGUK Episode 126
Introduction
Extract:- In This podcast we will look at
What is narcissism?
Symptoms of a narcissist’s manipulation
What happens when a narcissist loses control over you?
Where does a narcissist’s need for control come from?
Common narcissist behaviors when their needs aren’t met
What is narcissism?
While the word narcissism and the phrase narcissist control have almost become mainstream, there is a huge debate.
As this review of the controversies in narcissism explains, there are various models and theories that attempt to define narcissism.
The key point to note is that there’s a range of symptoms, from healthy narcissism to pathological narcissistic personality disorder. While the media quickly calls these people vain and self-centered, they are usually deeply insecure. This insecurity makes them feel so vulnerable that they need constant validation.
Without this validation, they may quickly become narcissistic control freaks in a misguided attempt to protect their fragile self-esteem. So, how does a narcissist react when they can’t control you? They’ll do...
Never Trust a UK Headline or Article Rhetoric
Episode 125
Introduction
I started to lose faith in news media in my teen years, particularly printed media. I had a growing aversion to UK tabloids. My father was an avid reader of tabloids, one in particular, and I can remember at the age of 16 that I literally gained nothing special from the newspaper that my father so avidly gorged on each day. He poured for way too many minutes on each article, and viewed all of its contents as the gospel delivered to him by a deity. I did not have the answers, but I just knew that that particular newspaper, did nothing for me. It gave me no new information, and it gave me no information based on what I was seeing in the News shown each evening and night, compared to what was happening in parts of the country. My father watched the news avidly, and was consumed by its contents. ...
The Slow Decline of Royal Families
SGUK Episode: 124
Introduction
The tradition of a royal person ruling a society can be traced at least as far back as the earliest state formations in the Middle East. During the 4th millennium BCE, the rulers of the Mesopotamian civilization of Sumer declared themselves kings and arranged for their sons to inherit their positions. Throughout the millennia that followed, monarchies reigned supreme as the preferred system of government, the Greek city states (except for Sparta), the Roman Republic, and the Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell being a few notable exceptions to confirm the rule.
Monarchies as a system of government began to fall out of favor in Europe during the 18th century when the movement known as the Enlightenment put the age-old connection between religion, politics, and social hierarchies under scrutiny. Out of these debates grew the oldest and still-existing political ideology of liberalism.
Because at the back of the mind of each king and queen, regardless of their...
When Sibling Jealousy Becomes a Cause for Concern
SGUK Episode 123
Introduction
“A recent study in the Journal of Family Psychology found that strained family relationships rooted in jealousy can cause health issues and chronic illness to worsen. One way of thinking about jealousy or envy between siblings is that we think we are competing for limited resources or status.”
We can all think of people we know, in or outside of our family or friend circle that this podcast is applicable to. In our case I would ask that you think of examples of families who are in business together and how any such tension existing in that kind of framework does impact on the business – not to mention the severe impact on the health and well being of the individuals who feel that they are competing for resources or status. Taking examples to another level, I ask you to think of hereditary Monarchies and in particular the UK Monarchy.
The structure of...
Monarchy or Cult - Mind Control
Episode 122
Introduction
The podcast this week looks at the constituent parts that make up any Monarchy, but in this case we are looking at the UK Monarchy, as an institution referred to as The Firm, and as a family. We will look at the rules and regulations formally recorded and referred to from time to time, in order to make clear the boundaries set around what the Monarchy exists for, and how to go about its business. In recent years, when individual members have dared to express independent thought about how something could be handled, or ways in which visits to other nations are to be conducted and why, or even in terms when some individuals have thoughts on relationships/business arrangements with people or person, internal or external to the UK there are barriers or open doors offered, dependent upon who wants to go through. It seems in summary, The Firm has a whole host of...
The Psychology Behind Brainwashing
Episode 121
Introduction
This weeks podcast is one of a 3 part series. Each episode can be stand alone, but as you will see with each one, there are linkages with the other two. This episode tries to break down the different areas of brainwashing and the ideology and intention behind each category. I will quote from some of the reference sources listed, but there are many more that there was no possibility of including it in one podcast, but they are listed for your reference.
I try to break down the main areas where the psychologist professionals operate and how the practice can manifest into our societies, and certainly with the growth of social media, not always used in a good way.
Next weeks podcast focusses on the mind control aspects and how it has been used in the past and in the present day. We will explore experiences from decades ago, and modern day practices that many people are...
The Royal Hunger Games 2024
SGUK Episode 119
Introduction
In this podcast we revisit and update the Royal Hunger Games that we first took a brief look at the games tournament in 2021, which was developing into a regular practice of behaviour, and has now become accepted protocol. All the factions still take part, representing their particular House of Windsor, but with each passing year, the sequels have taken on a formulaic approach to conducting business and it appears that the franchise may be drawing to a close. The reason for this is that there are really only two main teams, with a variety of stakeholder teams still present, but by way of trying to ensure that each small group survives, they are opting to give support to one of the two larger teams left standing.
One small new team emerged throughout the 3 sequels of the Games, and have been innovative in the way that they plan to grow and build strength and...
British Royal Family - Value for Money? I Think Not
SGUK Ep 118
Introduction
Hello everyone. Welcome. I just wanted to say here that this podcast and article was written and uploaded ready to be published next Sunday, however, because of recent developments I felt that I needed to make a few amendments here and there, and add an extra section in this Introduction and also in my closing remarks at the end of the podcast, due to the news release regarding the health of King Charles, and Kate the Princess of Wales and as if to add to this unfolding tale of health woes, William the Prince of Wales appears to have questionable health too. With that in mind, I wanted to change my wording here and there, but my concerns about behaviours and topics remain unchanged. I wanted to lighten my descriptions of certain things out of respect for all those concerned and family members who may be worried in their...

This podcast & accompanying article, will examine the definitions of hatred and how it manifests in group situations. I wont be going into too much detail as we covered this in depth in Episode 4 in June 2021 and as usual in SGUK podcasts there is an accompanying article with each podcast. I will post the link to the article and the original video podcast in the list of reference sources at the end of this document.
I explore herd mentality and whether or not we are programmed to behave this way. I discuss why people hate and what happens in our brains when we do. The differences and connections between love and hate. I have done a small amount of research on crowd psychology, whether it be physically together, or via online platforms, and why and how people ‘fall or move’ into group decisions on what and how they post etc. I have previously explored the...

Re The Log Off Movement and Next Gen Connect
SGUK Ep 113
The Log Off Movement – About Us
The LOG OFF movement was created in June of 2020 by the then high school senior, Emma Lembke. The movement formed in response to Lembke’s personal struggle with social media usage, its negative impact on her mental health, and the absence of youth voices in the dialogue surrounding social media advocacy. Once launched, LOG OFF dedicated itself to uplifting and empowering youth to tackle the complexities of social media and its impact on younger generations. Initially, this mission was accomplished through an array of initiatives housed within their website: advocacy efforts, youth leadership community, podcast, and blog. As the LOG OFF movement has evolved over the past 3 years, so have its efforts.
OUR MISSION

Many of us lack adequate guidance from the adults in our lives to fully understand the risks and make informed choices.

Grants announced on 3rd August 2023. The two in the spotlight this week are: 5 Rights Foundation and the Center for Intimacy Justice.
5Rights Foundation
5Rights Foundation, the brainchild of Baroness Beeban Kidron, started as a set of principles that would reimagine the digital world as a place children and young people were afforded their existing right to participate in the digital world creatively, knowledgeably and fearlessly.
Endorsed and informed by academics, parents, policy makers, teachers and healthcare professionals, these principles were also shaped by what children and young people told us they needed from the digital world to thrive.
In 2018, 5Rights developed from an idea into an organisation. Now an internationally active non-governmental, non-profit charitable organisation, 5Rights Foundation...

These are tangible outcomes, that can and are being tracked to show the evidence of how an idea, can turn into a tangible measurable project, and that those on the receiving end of any type of assistance, can speak easily of their learning journey, and how much their lives have changed, and those people around them. Many have gone on into careers where they can help others achieve their hopes and aspirations.
I was spoilt for choice, when I looked back over research notes for every organisation that The Archewell Foundation is linked to in some way. Extrapolating out from the organisations themselves, and the outcomes achieved in conjunction with...
Report: State of the Worlds Fathers 2023
SGUK Episode 102
Introduction
A direct quote from the Archewell Foundation website about the Equimundo organisation and that Archewell is one a group of organisations who are providing support to enable Equimundo to achieve its aims and objectives.
“Equimundo, an organization working internationally to engage men and boys as allies in gender equality, has released the State of the World’s Fathers 2023 report. They conducted research across 17 countries and surveyed thousands of men and women.
The 2023 data shows that men are increasingly involved in caregiving and would like to increase their care work at home, although deeply ingrained social norms and a lack of supportive policies and power structures discourage them from doing so. The report recognizes care work as the bedrock of society, and calls for continued advancements towards gender equality. It also emphasizes the need for media representation that normalizes men’s caregiving roles.
The Archewell Foundation is proud to have supported this report, as well as Equimundo’s continued...

SGUK Impact of Archewell Foundation – A Series – Part 4
Harvest Home and The Love Land Foundation
Episode 100
Introduction
Hello everyone, this podcast is continuing our series of looking at community organisations that the Archewell Foundation have assisted over the last 3+ years, and organisations who Archewell Foundation have partnered with. The aim of this series is to highlight the impact of the work being done day in day out, behind the scenes, without fuss. People just out here on these streets, uplifting others in a variety of ways. For a company so young in its lifespan, Archewell has achieved so much, but you never see those who should be looking at the societal group that taxpayers have to fund with no say in whether or not that is what they want to do, ever writing articles or discussing Archewell business in anything but negative rhethoric.
UK Media, ie tabloids owned by people who live and pay taxes outside of the UK, have...
The Impact of the Archewell Foundation – A Series
Part 3
[Episode 99]
Introduction
This week we continue our foray into a sample of the organisations who Harry and Meghan have partnered with or have assisted by way of funds to a number of small to medium organisations, by the Archewell Foundation.. This week we are looking at one of the Partnerships, and the following is direct quote from the Archewell website.
“At The Archewell Foundation our core purpose is, quite simply, to do good. We meet the moment by showing up, taking action, and using our unparalleled spotlight to uplift and unite communities, both local and global, online and offline.
We believe that philanthropic work is more than a handout, it’s a hand held. To activate this belief, we independently create dynamic and impactful programming to serve communities in need. We also partner with key organizations and leaders to identify immediate needs, build meaningful initiatives, and drive long-term change.
Baked into all that we do is...
The Impact of the Archewell Foundation - A Series - Part Two
Featuring - URL Media and PressPad
Introduction
Hello everyone. Ivy here. This weeks podcast looks at two media organisations that are working in partnership with the Archewell Foundation over the last two plus years. One is USA based and the other is based here in the UK. Both have increased their activity over the last couple of years or so, but like all small organisations, any help with promotion of their aims and objectives can never do any harm. Both have measurable data relating to the impact of their work with a variety of individuals and groups. Nothing on here is about any type of performative activity. Much ore detail on their respective websites – this is just an overview to show how when project leaders know what they are doing, and join forces with like minded people, and then can be blessed with additional resources this is how you uplift...
The Impact of the Archewell Foundation – (A Series)
Episode 97
Introduction
The next few podcasts of Sussex Global UK will be covering the impact of some of Meghan and Harry’s work, by shining a light on partnership organisations and people they have helped, in a variety of ways, and the impact that it is had and aspirations of those organisations for the future. Harry and Meghan and their team have made measurable differences in the organisations that they partner with and together they have made a difference in the lives of those who use their services.. Harry and Meghan’s actions are not performative. Every task and schedule has been carefully thought out and planned with strategies and timescales and resources required. Announcements are usually made when they are near completion. The podcasts coming up over the next couple of months or so, will shine a light on those out there working at community level and their hopes and plans for the future.

Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye
Episode: 96
Introduction
This podcast and the SGUK Channel moving forward, relates to Harry & Meghan focusing on their life and Foundation, as opposed to flying back and forth to the UK to be disrespected each time. Harry stated that they are moving forward not looking back. I publicised a few weeks ago that this channel will be doing the same. I am not going to devote large scale sections of my podcast making reference to the BRF in articles or podcasts. That only serves to keep them relevant. I don’t react to the regular nonsense publicised deliberately to get a reaction. They have followers to do that – I do not see our role to do the same. If their followers don’t do that then that is a BRF family problem not ours. H&M have no reason to play the game of ‘invite but no invite and then back to invite’ etc. That is...
SGUK Never Underestimate the Power of the Mind
Episode 95
Introduction
This weeks podcast takes an overview of how UK Media have viewed and described Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex since childhood, covering his childhood years and ongoing trauma since the loss of his mother, though his Eton years, through his military years and the unwanted media attention which he had to endure at various periods including in the middle of live on the ground war zone activity, all to then go on to publish cynical articles, about their experiences. Harry’s location was twice given away to the media during his ten years in the miliary and both times he had to be called back to civilian Royal life. Deliberate actions on behalf of the BRF I am sure. UK Media needed him back. They needed their prey back.
When it came to meeting a USA actress, who was a high achiever and high scoring academic, a multi lingual activist and a strong...
SGUK Podcast – Clout Chasers for Relevance
Episode 94
Introduction
This week’s podcast is entitled Clout Chasing for Relevance. We will look at two organisations who attached themselves to Prince Harry, for nothing else but to raise the profile of their respective organisations, under a fake or at best, less than important reason for the matter to be investigated in relation to anything that Harry had been working on previously. Both topics given as the fictitious reason for investigation would have been more use in one of the two cases, if another individual from a choice of several could have and should have been investigated on a number of fronts. In the other example, it was not so much the individual that this clout chaser was pursuing, but an organisation who officially handles such topics, is in their line of fire relating to how they have handled previous documentation.
Sometimes it pays to ignore UK media, in fact I would say most of the...
UK Media – Let’s Talk About Ethics
SGUK Episode 93
Introduction
This week’s podcast looks at whether or not such a thing as Ethics exist in UK journalism and the media industry in general in the UK. The kind of things and style of reporting I have seen in my lifetime, but particularly in the last 30 years would suggest that if there were any kind of standard that media personnel and their regulatory bodies have written down somewhere, it clearly is not at the forefront of their mind when actually carrying duties in their employment.
If you do an actual search using the word Ethics, in any aspect of the UK Media, you may be surprised to discover, that it is like looking for the holy grail. It is more alluded to than be a prominent feature in the official documentation of this profession. Speaks volumes.
I give a few details about the Regulatory organisations, alongside rules and regulations for printed media as well...
The Chilling Encounter – We See You
SGUK Episode 92
The Chilling Encounter
Earlier this week Harry, Meghan and Doria were hounded by paparazzi in New York city for 2 hours. Paparazzi following the police escort cars that accompanied the Sussexes own security detail. Apparently the paparazzi surrounded the venue where Meghan and other women were attending a function in celebration of their advocacy work relating to various aspects of equality. Harry and Meghan’s mother attended the event in support of Meghan. Paparazzi waiting outside, did not know which entrance Meghan would be entering or exiting the building, so they apparently surrounded the complex. As things turned out, they were unable to get a quality shot of any photos because Meghan and Harry and Doria were surrounded by security who deliberately ‘enveloped’ the Sussex crew, ensuring that quality photos could not be taken. There were a number of media people outside various doors, who did manage to take a few photos, but on...
Harry and Meghan – Challenges and Achievements Since Independence
SGUK Episode 91
Introduction
This channel is going to focus on the work of Harry and Meghan, and in the coming weeks, most podcasts won’t have any more than a footnote in terms of mention of the British Royal Family – if any at all.
They are mentioned here and there in this podcast, because this is the first step on this element of the Sussex trajectory and the content of this podcast moving forward. It is not for this channel to give the BRF relevance in Sussex activity. There is a whole team of Royal Rota journalists that are more than the double the size of the Working Royals, who are employed to show that the BRF is relevant in todays society, whether that is the case or not. That is their role, not mine.
What are the key areas for my podcast channel going forward? The Sussexes have been very successful, despite family interference...
Hate for Hire - UK Journalists Legacy
Introduction
This extract from an article in the Independent published in November 2015, still applies today. Events since that article has provided more than enough evidence which clearly states there is a growing problem, relating to the various ways now that hate rhetoric is spread around the globe, and the targets of that rhetoric are suffering and some have lost their lives. It links to aspects of Human Rights Legislation, and the framework around the Human Rights Act, needs to reflect the modern developments in terms of how to recognise and deal with perpetrators.
The role of the media in the rise of hate crime in the UK is unequivocal. For too long now the right-wing tabloid press in the UK has vilified minorities and vulnerable groups. This vilification is by no means a new phenomenon and has long existed in British Media.

BRF and Brexit Vote – Same Business Model
SGUK Ep 89
On 23rd June 2016, the UK Referendum on European Membership took place in the UK and Gibralter, commonly referred to the European Referendum or the Brexit Referendum. The vote resulted in 51.9% of the votes cast were I favour of leaving the EU. The referendum itself was not legally binding but the government of the day decided to implement the result – the wish of the people etc.
In October 2016 tabloids began to publish articles about Meghan and Harry’s relationship and that it appeared that Harry was “besotted” with Meghan. The tabloids claimed their information came from reliable sources – their usual MO. The articles were far from complimentary, and it was evident that the tabloids in their usual sleazy style went digging for as much information as possible. It was also clear that they had decided looking for salacious news would attract more attention than looking for positive news about...
Justice Will be Served – We Have Lift Off
This is a heartfelt request for international legal experts/advocates to liaise with each other, and
to recognise that the environment around human rights is changing all the time, and the knock
on effect of various forms of abuse is often hidden. Most people cannot and do not have the
resources to challenge their abusers and even where people are deemed to be affluent, abuse
continues and people turn away thinking that the victim is not deserving of sympathy, not least
because it is considered that they have the means to escape. What has been happening to The
Duke and Duchess of Sussex since 2016 is both worrying and very sad. We almost lost Meghan
in 2018 and her unborn child and the risks to Meghan and Harry has reduced a little since they
moved to Los Angeles but they are fighting against major forces. It very disturbing that abusive activity is
still being done to this family even though they have...
Separation Cycle of Abuse
Introduction
This week’s podcast and accompanying article is entitled The Separation Cycle of Abuse.
The original aim of this podcast was to explore a variety of research papers on patterns and trends of abuse which continues when an abused person manages to escape from their abuser. Abuser being an ex partner, or an abusive family who continue to try and exert control over the life of the relative who has escaped. This is all now grouped under legislation relating to Coercive Control. We have covered this topic a few times in the life of this channel, and in particular have highlighted the work, and quotes from the work of Dr Evan Stark and Dr Laura Richards. I will list their summary bio later in this podcast/article. Coercive Control appears several times on this channel, as many of you know, in previous podcasts and articles.
I decided to add this new section to the audio (the article will be amended shortly)...
Brand UK – Dysfunctionality
Government & Monarchy
Episode 85
Introduction
The UK appears to be caught up in a type of whirlwind. A whirlwind manufactured and developed within the UK, to a point many if not most of us wake up each (assuming we managed to get a good sleep in the first place) wondering what meteor is going to strike us today, and what contingency plans can we start to think about now, that may come in handy during the day if another metaphorical meteor strikes today. That is how many of us are living. The mental health issues stacking up in this country is going to take many decades of professional interventions to even scrape the surface of the issues in play, and even more books written on the lessons learned each time we go up a gear in mental and physical suffering.
Each of the top societal groups are the cause of these whirlwinds, and their attempt at hiding their mistakes and...
The Coronation of a Narcissist
No Other European Monarchy Still Has a Coronation
Introduction
This week’s podcast and accompanying article looks at the current King and the next in line of succession – both of whom have displayed strong traits of narcissism, particularly over the last 6 years. As the previous Queen Elizabeth became visibly less in control of her physical and mental health, due to illness, the traits of Prince Charles and his eldest son Prince William, have never been more evident. Both of them clearly have fragile egos, and want and expect to be loved and revered simply because of their Titles, not because of their positive and inviting behaviour. I always used to wander why the Queen held on to power for so long. Even knowing that when she became the Queen in her early 20s she vowed to be of life long service to the nation, and that she would only leave it due to death. Having seen the...
The Tale of Two Dukes of Sussex
Introduction
This podcast will explore the dichotomy of the treatment of both Dukes of Sussex, by their respective fathers/Kings - in comparison to the treatment of other prominent Royals seen as exemplary. In all comparisons, the outcomes for both Dukes have been better than ever imagined, and in the case of the 2nd Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry is by far the most successful in terms of wealth and popularity and most of all, independence. The punitive actions taken against both Dukes, never achieved what both Kings expected. In today's age of social media with the vehicle of the internet, each punitive action is publicised around the globe in seconds and is seen by most for what each action is meant to cause. It hasn't worked. The reverberations from the games played already continues to wreak havoc on the ones dishing out the punishments. Weakening the very institution it originally intended to strengthen and prolong...
Come In Royal Rota – Your Time is Up
SGUK Episode 81
Introduction
In order to give context as to how and why some people in powerful positions thought it would be a good idea to have a large group of people who solely reported on the UK Royal Family and no one else, this podcast explore the main reasons why the UK and USA have tabloids but how and why the UK decided to go to extremes in order to get a story and sometimes according to one professional, be prepared to “violate laws”. All of these people, officially referred to as journalists, work for a tabloid newspaper, and between the group chosen by Editors of said tabloids, but the British Royal Family having the final say so, as to whether or not they are considered the type of people who will fit in with the Royal Family, gives you some idea of the type of coverage required/preferred by the Monarch...
Come in No 7 – Your Time is Up
Introduction
For reference, the title of this podcast is related to the overall theme of this and the following two podcasts, and is based on a British television series from the late 1960s/1970s called The Prisoner. It centred on an unnamed British intelligence agent who is abducted and imprisoned in a mysterious coastal village, where his captors designated him as Number 6, and try to find out why he abruptly resigned from his job. Episode plots have elements of science fiction, allegory ( which means it is literary device or artistic form – a narrative or visual representation in which a character, place, or event can be interpreted to represent a hidden meaning with moral or political significance. Authors have used this approach to illustrate or convey complex ideas and concepts in ways that are comprehensible or striking to its viewers, readers or listeners) and psychological drama, as well as spy fiction. The...
SGUK Episode 79 – Book Review Part 3 of SPARE
Introduction
Reading through each section of the book, confirmed for me and I believe supporters of Prince Harry, that being in the military saved Harry from all the toxic clouds that descended on him throughout childhood, and particularly his experiences post 1997. I mean by that Harry had to deal with various labels from birth, all relating to him not being or even allowed to be brighter or more popular than those higher in the line of succession. A child told from an early age that they are less than, and that they must forever dim their light, to ensure that others look brighter. That is abuse right there, from the get go. The situation of a child having to navigate through various psychological push backs were made far worse by the dysfunctional setting he was in with most if not all of his relatives being dysfunctional themselves, and an institution behaving...
SGUK Ep 78 – Part 2 of 3 Book Review of Spare
Introduction
Following on from last week’s podcast, this weeks publication focuses on life in the military for Harry, and the way that military life was a preferred place to be for Harry compared to life in the UK as a member of the Royal Family. He is on record stating this fact many times over the years, but it a key piece of information that the British Royal Family and its media along with key senior staff within the Firm all chose to ignore. There are golden threads running from Part One of this podcast series, which link directly to many, if not all of the threads in this section with serious implications for the role of Monarchy in the UK and most definitely formed very strong threads feeding into Section Three.
I will state here and now, and emphasise it in Part Three, that the decisions made which led to...
SGUK Episode 77: Part One – Spare
Introduction
First of all, in order to get the podcast underway, I want to stress the point here, that this is not your usual style of book review. This podcast and article is written from a readers perspective – not a professional reader, but a reader who is vested in the subject matter. I made notes of points that jumped out of the pages for me, and as a standalone set of information, there was much that could have been written about the story that was untold, running in the background of the main points listed in the book itself.
Whilst I have included a few quotations from all 3 Divisions of the book, I have devoted the 2nd part of this podcast to Section 2 – Bloody But Unbowed, which will air next Sunday on 22nd January 2023.
The same approach and methodology will be used, but found from my Notes that this area of the...
How Dark Will The Baby Be?
Episode 76
Introduction
Todays podcast will explore the worlds of double standards, when it comes to the UK Royal Family and its explanation for decisions on a range of things, over many decades. I will list just a few examples, from many more included in the Reference Sources below, and as the podcast progresses, you will start to see common themes appearing. I will also cover the area, from a non legal brain or qualification, but from common sense and how the law applies to different people in the chain of command.
It is important to remind everyone, as I suspect many are not aware, no reigning Monarch in the UK can be charged with any crime. So moving forward, whether or not any of suspect suspicious activity, should it occur, and I have no information to suggest that is the case, but if a suspicion is raised, the tabloid will pretend to be shocked and to care...
Fragile Ego and Leadership
Introduction
What does it mean when someone is declared to have a fragile ego? How can it be identified and what are the implications for those around that individual, in the workplace in particular? This podcast explores the signs and the impact of having someone with this form of behaviour in the workplace, and more at risk when that individual is in a management position. We will explore both fragile egos and leadership along with the impact they have on each other, and as a result the risks and potential outcomes in the workplace.
Signs of a Fragile Ego
Our ego or self-esteem is how worthy we think we are. It’s part of our self-concept and self-image- how we view ourselves.”
“A person with a fragile ego has weak and inconsistent self-esteem. Their sense of self-worth is volatile and subject to the whims of life circumstances and others’ judgments.
Seeking validation from others is natural for humans. Our self-esteem is raised when others think...
Royal Psychological Warfare Across Borders
Introduction:- The Meaning of Psychological Warfare.
This weeks podcast explores the ramifications of psychological warfare and its application in the modern era, to be delivered across borders. I have a particular interest in psychology, and I am a Chartered professional in various forms of human behaviour and the rationale behind it some of the manifestation. The title for this podcast comes from a very interesting book by Neil Morton, called Psychological Warfare. It covers a topic I am deeply interested in and it forms a very useful backdrop to its application in terms of the various forms of delivery used by the British Royal Family and its partners in the media – both printed and televised, and in all the societal groups I have mentioned many times before, who all support each other, in order to ensure that they all continue to benefit from a pattern of life that has existed for centuries.
In this podcast, I will...
Karens and Kevins
Introduction
It never ceases to amaze me how many people spend most of their days deliberately filling their minds with activity relating to someone that they claim not to like very much. Most of their waking hours are spent sitting at a keyboard, or looking into a monitor talking about the target of their ire. The time spent on social media platforms is monitored and recorded, and most people would be shocked to see how many hours a day some people spend creating multiple accounts, and post from all of them frequently. An unhealthy amount of hours, night and day with a few. These extreme cases live and breath their target. I would guess that most of these people who spend so many hours a day doing this obsessive type of activity, live alone. If they have anyone living in the same household s them, they do not speak to each other very often. They appear not to have...
House of Cards
SGUK Episode 72
Introduction
The 7 pillars are weak. None of them are strong in their own right, and combined they form a weak foundation to build on.
The next layer of the construction is inherently weak, not least because no preparation was ever made for the kind of metaphorical bricks that could be utilised in a way that added value potentially and at the very least, maintained solidity in the structure.
The approach appears to be picking random bricks that appear available for hire on the ‘help yourself’ skip on Crown land.
Only certain shades of bricks are acceptable.
The strength of each brick appears not to matter, as long as one is not stronger and longer lasting than the others, as this creates inherent weaknesses to be exposed in all the others.
The methodology and approach seems to be, gather the right numbers of bricks from within Crown property services, and ensure that they fit the colour...
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
Ep 71
Introduction
Which successful business out there, even the small family businesses out there, wait for their CEO to die before they allow the next one chosen to be CEO is allowed to step into the role? Alternatively the companies start to look for a new CEO, and have them waiting in the wings for a few months to acclimatise and then step into the role knowing what they need to. It is almost certain the outgoing family member, will not be frail and in their 90s.
Hereditary Monarchies come with inherent risks, along with a myriad of additional concerning factors. A separate podcast would be required to explore those. I also focus all of my podcasts on the activities of Harry and Meghan, and/or the actions of The British Royal Family, and the impact upon Harry and Meghan, or worse, when detritus hits the fan of the BRF, their ‘strive to be average to poor’...
Cocoon – The Return to Windsor
Episode 70
Context
Wikipedia Extract
"About 10,000 years ago, peaceful aliens from the planet Antarea set up an outpost on Earth on Atlantis. When Atlantis sank, twenty aliens were left behind, kept alive in large rock-like cocoons at the bottom of the ocean. Now, a group of Antareans have returned to collect them.
Disguising themselves as humans, they rent a house with a swimming pool and charge the water with "life force" to give the cocooned Antareans energy to survive the trip home. They charter a boat from a local captain named Jack, who helps them retrieve the cocoons. After the aliens reveal themselves to him and explain what's going on, he decides to help them.
Next door to the house the Antareans are renting is a retirement home. Three of its residents, Ben, Arthur, and Joe, often trespass to swim in the pool next door. They absorb some of the recently charge life force, making them feel younger and stronger....
The Magnificent 7 Coming to a Town Near You
Introduction
This podcast centres on the new King of the UK and the changes which are imminent with someone new at the helm and who has waited for most of his life to take on this role. Ie most of his 70+ years.
In usual UK Monarchy style, things come into the public domain by rumour and innuendo and shade, and always by an unknown source. To help disseminate the desired message of theme from a message, the BRF use it media arm the Royal Rota, which officially are representatives from a number of popular press here in the UK, but in reality are a group of tabloid newspapers, which the UK popularises as reputable sources for news, and all those in the Royal Rota have an unwritten agreement to popularise the BRF by hunting down anyone who is seen not to show deference to the family, rather than news media hold the UK...
The Fish Rots from its Head
Episode 68
Introduction
There is an old saying that a fish rots from the head down. It is phrase that is known in China and in Europe from the period of the Middle Ages. It is certainly a phrase that I heard my parents say throughout my childhood, usually referring to people at the top of organisations. If you look up this phrase, there are a variety of explanations given as to the exact meaning, but all of them are consistent with the notion that the top determines the content. Ie if the leader of the organisation is poor and ineffective, then it follows the organisation culture and style will replicate that same approach and tone.
In one of the reference sources listed below, it refers to a number of corporate scandals which in their own way reflected the fish rotting from the head scenario. One company it mentioned was Enron, where the Chairman appeared unwilling or unable...
One Group Always Plays Draughts & The Other Plays An Adept Game of Chess
Episode 67
Introduction
From the moment that Harry announced that his new girlfriend was Meghan, a successful USA Actress in a hugely successful tv network franchise, entitled Suits. A very popular network staple and which had been running for 7 years at that point. Once the shock of that announcement had sunk in with UK media, and the obvious annoyance that the Royal Rota were totally unaware that the couple had been seeing one another seriously for 6 months, and that they had also been away to Botswana for a secret romantic break, unknown to the family or the press. At some point upon their return, Harry clearly informed some members of his family, and knowing what we know now, it was not long before the Rota pack were informed and the salacious and racist rhetoric began in the press in earnest. Camilla Tominey was proud to tell everyone...
Can Artificial Intelligence Ever Replace Royal Rota Journalism?
Ep 66
Introduction
This weeks podcast, takes a brief look into the world of Artificial Intelligence, and its place in an employment setting. Does it take jobs away from people, or does it free people up to do other things? I suspect it is a bit of both. In the setting where the tasks undertaken are repetitive, and do not take much thinking time, in order to produce the final outcome, there could be an argument for AI to find a home.
Royal Reporting is carried out by all the tabloids in the UK, and they all pretty much produce articles on the same topics and people every day. The analyst in me wonders why so many people have a job where they only write about a handful of people, and in reality, the majority of the subjects for the article are no longer working Royals anyway, so do not come under the remit of the...
UK Media Obsession With One USA Citizen Not Residing in the UK
Background
The way that certain media groups have made bullying and harassment, together with inciting hateful behaviour on and off line in society is alarming, and what is worse, is that the UK Royal Reporters are leading the pack, with Australia in 2nd place. The target for their ire is The Duchess of Sussex, and it has gone on for 6 years and counting. I have no idea about Australia, but the UK media (both televised and printed) has blood on their hands. People have died, or have been mentally abused by some of their activity, and many are still suffering from the trauma of the interaction with the actions of this group. People are seen as prey and it seems anything is fair game if the person is in the public eye, or has emerged into the public space as a result of a life changing incident. The UK...
James Baldwin on Justice and Equality
Episode 64
Introduction
This weeks podcast is focussed on the outline of James Baldwin’s life. I have mentioned him a few times in previous podcasts. Such an interesting man who also led such an interesting life. Some people said that they did not know that much about him, and have since gone off and done their own searches and some of those people are now buying his books. He was such a scholar and his mind seemed so complex. I would have loved to have met him. I decided to do this short podcast, and to give a few reference sources for those of you wish to know more.
Commissioned by Harper’s Magazine to write on the civil rights movement, Baldwin first became acquainted with Martin Luther King during a trip through the South in 1957. Baldwin’s exposure to King and southern racism had a profound influence on his writing and helped deepen his lifelong commitment to social...
Support and Uplift Charities v Swarm Charities With Toxicity in Their Comment Sections
SGUK Ep 63
Introduction
This podcast looks at two distinct groups who support two of people, who are polar opposites in terms of a value base. One is focussed on undertaking projects with outcome focussed results, and including local people impacted by interventions in the planning of each project. The aim is to ensure that they are in a position to have input and to advise what has more chance of success due to environmental factors of various types, as opposed to creating additional damage to the infrastructure of an area or target audience for a future project. The other network relies on traditional support at any activity that they undertake. There is no measurement of output or any real auditing in terms of benefits achieved and VFM. Traditionally their support base has been there for decades and will continue to support the entity just for being there. It has...
Entry in Societal Groups Based on Race and Privilege?
Ep 62
Introduction
“The social structure of Britain has been highly influenced by the concept of classes. The class system is prevalent in the society of the United Kingdom in the 21st century too. The different classes were formed depending on various factors such as education levels, income and the type of occupation.
As per the norms of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, there were basically two social classes. One was called as the House of Lords, comprising of the hereditary upper class and another one was the House of Commons, representing everyone else in the British social hierarchy.
We will first discuss the social system of former Britain and then the social system that is prevalent today in modern Britain.
The hierarchy that was prevalent at the time of formation of Great Britain is as follows:
Royal
Peer or Nobles
Baronet
Knight
Gentry
Yeomen
Tradesmen
Cottagers
Royal: This class belonged to the royal family and was the highest rank....
UK Media Snakes & Ladders Journey Around the 7 Stages of Grief Model Since 2020
SGUK Ep 61
Introduction
Following on from previous comments relating to where I considered the Royal Reporters to be on the Kubler Ross 7 Stages of Grief Model in 2020, it thought it worthwhile doing an update, due to all the craziness that has gone on under the guise of professional soundbites, but when in reality nothing could be described as professional behaviour in the UK media world.
I have drawn upon a number of reference sources for the opinions I state and as my way of podcasting, I back up my opinions based on research of such behaviours or outcomes previously in similar settings. I also will draw upon a small publication of my own published in 2019, and extrapolate out from the evidence and thoughts on the direction of travel that was being indicated at the time, and whether or not, any of those predictions became reality....
I Can't Believe What You Say, Because I See What You Do.
SGUK Podcast Episode 60
Introduction
This podcast looks at the less than confident belief that the UK Monarchy and its partners have certain sectors of the population in their thoughts with their apparent views on those sectors. Partners in this case are, as I have stated many times in previous podcasts are as follows:- government, aristocracy, police, media – both printed and televised. As the title suggests, those perceptions are based on what each of those societal groups do, not what they say when elections are near, or any of their fellow groups mentioned are in the limelight for not so glowing reasons. As usual, each have the others backs because each of them on their own, are less powerful, than when they come together.
The extreme views held by many in these groups, and that is not assumption, there is hard evidence readily available. The protection of each other preserves and...
What is the Endgame of UK Media?
Episode 59
Introduction
This week’s podcast examines the phenomenon of the growth of negative coverage of one person, which developed into an industry of hate, commencing with the odd person voicing concerns, and then groups, and 2 dysfunctional families to apparently a whole nation – all according to the UK printed and televised media industry. Most of the media industry personnel who have gone on to develop increased profile careers wallowing in this cesspool of hatred have never met the person who has become their target, and none of the groups which have emerged since 2016 when the target came to the attention of the UK population, particularly those who read tabloids, have met the target either. Apparently UK media speak for the whole country, as they like to run polls with very carefully worded questions, and where powerful aristocratic families have relatives in senior positions in the polling organisations used and publicised in the said...
You Don’t Need Eyes to See – You Need Vision
Ep 58
Introduction
This week’s podcast looks at those institutions and businesses who live in the here and now, and pay no heed to what the future may bring. Thankfully most organisations do not operate that way, and most of those are still going strong, and those who are not, are out of the market by choice. Eg family businesses. There are, however, a number of organisations who have been used to always being present in the society that they operate in, and see no reason why this would change. History tells us that this philosophy and framework to operate in is full of flaws, and many of those household names that we have all known since our childhoods, no longer exist on the business or institutional landscapes. Why?
Why have these supposed entities ceased to exist in the modern society? How they fallen out of favour? Is there a common set of denominators,...
Still They Rise
Ep 57
Introduction
This week’s podcast explores the continuous rise of The Sussexes despite the barrage of negativity that has been sent their way since the middle of 2016, and the hurdles placed frequently in front of them since their engagement and their marriage in 2018. We will touch upon the intentions behind those who placed those hurdles hoping that the couple would fail in their aims in life, and we also look at the Institutions behind the campaign of hate which has now become a high value income generator for single purpose hate accounts on social media, and a new influx of income for organisations and owners of social media platforms. Currently there are limited elements of the law that can be pursued against those inciting hate, and there are next to no legal actions that can be taken against any entity or group or decides that the income is worth the risk, which is currently low.
Against this whole...
NOT EVEN THE KING
Introduction
This week’s podcast explores sibling relationships within a family business, and whether or not there is a difference in a family setting. I have looked at a number of reference sources relating to the fall out when a sibling leaves the family business, and in doing so, explored and will make a number of personal observations, as to how the UK Royal Family responded to one person leaving the family not least because they did not regard or treat Meghan as a member of the family or as an employee, and if the truth be known, they used and continue to regard Meghan like bait that hunters and their dogs go after for sport. No regard to the suffering, it is all a game in Royal circles. Hunter and Prey mentality. Seek and destroy the runaway slaves. The fact that a blue blood prince chose his wife and family over his family, meant that he was regarded...
The Hill We Climb
Ep 55
Introduction
Hello everyone,
Ivy here. This weeks podcast is entitled “The Hill We Climb” which is the poem that Amanda Gorman recited at the Inauguration of Joe Biden as the President of the USA and Kamala Harris as the Vice President.
I like many people was very impressed with that recital, and I had no hesitation to pre order her book last year. It was delayed by a few weeks, but I was more than happy to obtain that beautiful publication towards the end of 2021. I bought the Audible version, and to hear Amanda herself recite her poems makes it very special to me. The book, in case any of you want to know is called “Call Us What We Carry”.
Amanda Gorman is an American poet and activist from Los Angeles, California. Amanda’s work focuses on issues of oppression, feminism, race, and marginalization, as well as the African diaspora. Amanda Gorman is the first person to be named...
Slow Dancing in a Burning Room
Introduction
Re lack of emotional intelligence and the impact of that lack of awareness when one is in a senior position – in this case, senior members of the British Royal Family. The fallout from this limited view of the situation that the UK is in , and a naïve perception of the role of a Monarchy in a changing environment, and the resultant impact on the country as a whole.
What Does ‘Read the Room’ Mean?
To use one’s intuition to analyse the general mood of the people in a particular setting and act accordingly. Often used as an imperative
Eg., I’ll read the room and see if it’s the right time to have the conversation. If people already seem on edge, I’ll probably wait to bring it up.
THE FREE DICTIONARY
To understand the emotions and thoughts of the people present, especially to determine what would be appropriate or inappropriate to say or do

The Lost Souls of Windsor
Backwards Britain: Why It’s Time to Abolish the Monarchy | The National Interest
A direct quote from an article published in March 2020 in a publication called In The National Interest.
“The United Kingdom has more than its fair share of political problems. Three and a half years of acrimonious debate over the European Question—exacerbated by two rancorous general election campaigns—has left Britain with deep social and political divides. The 48 percent who voted to remain inside the European Union (EU) are understandably resentful at the 52 percent who are jubilant at now having left. It sometimes seems as though the very soul of Britain is up for grabs. Will it be an open or closed society? Cosmopolitan or intolerant? Internationalist or introverted?”
Moving outside of the quote, my personal opinion and answers to that last question is as follows:- It is becoming increasingly a closed society; it is definitely an intolerant one, when government reports and statutes contain...
The Psychology of Resentment
(Individuals – Groups – Dysfunctional Families – A Country)
Introduction
This week’s podcast examines the phenomenon of the growth of negative coverage of one person, which developed into an industry of hate, commencing with the odd person voicing concerns, and then groups, and 2 dysfunctional families to apparently a whole nation – all according to the UK printed and televised media industry. None of the media industry personnel who have gone on to develop increased profile careers wallowing in this cesspool of hatred have met the person who has become their target, and none of the groups which have emerged since 2016 when the target came to the attention of the UK population, particularly those who read tabloids, have met the target either.

Let’s Talk About Reparations – (Part 3 of 3)
Global Reparations Movement – Strength in Numbers
Recap Summaries from Parts 1 & 2
The last two podcasts explored different perspectives of the topic of various countries who were involved in the slave trade of history, with all the suffering and inhumane treatment of certain groups of society that took place, and was very much part of the fabric of those nations. Reparations for the countries and its people who suffered in the clutches of this vile process, has long since been an issue for those countries who suffered economically and who were made to continue suffering for years afterwards, whilst those nations who were responsible for the cruelty to people and the pillaging of artifacts and resources from those poorer nations, continued to become rich in resources that did not belong to them in the first place.

We looked at...
“The Past is Still Present[i]”: Let’s Talk About Reparation – (Part 2)
Todays podcast is the 2nd part of 3 publications relating to the subject of reparations and whether or not it is relevant or realistic to even contemplate any form of reimbursement for the cruel treatment and atrocities that took place in history, not least because the people alive today were not the perpetrators at that time. That is just one view, but thankfully, there are many others which include both many individuals benefitted greatly from the slavery trade, but what needs to be recognised is that whole countries and their economies improved too, and therefore we perhaps need to move away from thinking about individuals and start to look at and consider nations which did very well out of the slave trade and those nations have continued to thrive as a direct result of the foundations built on the backs of slaves.
Equally the countries where slaves...
Let’s Talk About Reparations
(Part One)
Context & Background
This week’s podcast, and the next two podcasts will explore different perspectives of the topic of various countries who were involved in the slave trade of history, with all the suffering and inhumane treatment of certain groups of society that took place, and was very much part of the fabric of those nations. Reparations for the countries and its people who suffered in the clutches of this vile process, has long since been an issue for those countries who suffered economically and who were made to continue suffering for years afterwards, whilst those nations who were responsible for the cruelty to people and the pillaging of artifacts and resources from those poorer nations, continued to become rich in resources that did not belong to them in the first place. The inhumanity continued long after the industry of ‘slavery’ officially ended. It is noticeable that the voices that tell areas of the worlds population...
Your Workforce Plan is All Wrong
Context
This weeks podcast is all about the Monarchy and its lack of planning for the future. I refer to Workforce in it most simplest and basic of forms, because I am almost certain that the British Royal Family do not know what a Workforce Plan is, and if they do, they would not use one. At best they would have documentation somewhere with the appropriate headings, but pay no attention to it. So, for the purpose of this podcast, and to find a way to give comments about the age profile (among many other things) of the ‘promoted’ Magnificent 7 by UK Media, in various computations, as being the group to fill the role of Prince Harry who stepped back from Senior Royal duties and removed his family and himself to a safer environment and one which would be better for their mental health. Apparently stepping back from tax payer funded duties has put the...
Welcome to the Windsor Twilight Zone
Introduction & Context – The Framework for a Windsor Twilight Zone
The Twilight Zone was a TV series that first appeared on our screens in 1959. The idea for this unique tv template was the brainchild of an Emmy award winning writer, Rod Sterling. Rod Sterling became the host and wrote around 80 of the 150+ episodes that aired. Descriptions are abundant on the internet, including this one, “It is a strange mix of horror, science-fiction, drama, comedy and superstition. Sterling introduced each episode, and many of the black and white episodes concluded with a surprise ending. Actors such as Burt Reynolds, Roddy McDowell and Robert Redford made appearances in some of the more well known stories.”
The first series ran from 1959 to 1964. 2nd series ran from 1985 to 1989. In 2019 a new Twilight Zone TV series was developed based on the 1959 series. The narrator for this new series was one of the...
UK Media Obsession – Stalking / Harassment
Let’s Bring It Out From UK Shadows to the Desks of the International Legal Community.
Introduction
This weeks podcast explores and ponders on the extraordinary behaviour of UK media when it come to the Sussexes, in particular Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex. Activity that I as a non legal person considers it to be obsessional, dangerous, and in breach of multiple areas of UK and International Law. I consider these continual actions, to be carried out for purely self serving purposes. No regard is paid to the target/s and none of the possible outcomes are positive. One would think that following on from the demise of Princess Diana, and how all that treatment that ultimately resulted in tragedy, it would seem that nothing has been learnt from those years. The growth and reach of various social media platforms has given those who want to cause harm and deterioration in the mental health of its targets, has...

The Ship Has Sailed Bro’
Introduction
This week’s podcast and article summarises the so called “we welcomed Meghan to the British Royal Family and the UK” media spin since news was published about the relationship between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in the summer of 2016. From the very first article published by the Daily Mail and the other gossip publications, masquerading as newspapers, it was very clear about the stance it was adopting. Initially it was very colonialist in its tone – ie talking down to and about Meghan. Deliberately disparaging the acting profession, but particularly the Acting Industry in the USA. It aimed to give the impression that it was a profession that was more suited to bargain basement activities, where people with no talent or skill gravitated and were treated like ‘stars’ but somehow it was deemed to be below the standard of UK Monarchy.
Most of us have never believed that about either group, but more interestingly, since 2016...
Continual Coercive Control Activities Across Borders
By UK Cartel since Nov 2019
Context
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from senior Royal duties at the end of March 2020. Prince Harry announced their decision to step back in order to protect their mental health, due to the continued activity of UK media, on the 8th January 2020 after returning to the UK from a six week break in Canada to assess and finalise their situation. During that time, their location in Canada was leaked to the Press by the Royal Family and their security was removed. A tabloid employee also contacted the Sussexes and informed them that he was aware that they were contemplating on leaving their roles, and he wanted a story. That same individual gave the Sussexes 10 days in which to respond, otherwise the tabloid concerned would print the story anyway. This is...
California Princess to UK Royal Princess to Global Princess
The idea of this weeks podcast emanated from a website focussed on parenting and child development in particular understanding types of human behaviour and using children stories as a framework to show and explain examples how they can recognise when people around them are acting in a certain way, to help them recognise what is going on and why, and to teach them how to protect themselves.
As you know I like to use academic models on occasions to give a framework to various types of human behaviour, and I considered what it would be like to use a well known story around the world, for a similar purpose. The difference being the audience is an adult one, and the framework is a childhood fairy tale. I use that approach to explain how character building takes place in the first phase, in this case Meghan’s childhood, and then university and then onto the...
When The Service Model Becomes Obsolete
Introduction
This week’s podcast looks at organisational obsolescence, and the indicators to recognise and understand Obsolescence Risk. If these red flags are not recognised and dealt with at an early point in the process, any business is liable to fail at some point in the future – beyond the practical stage of being able to throw a few changes at the problem with the hope that the business can carry on.
We will explore, in a simple format a series of signs, that need to be recognised and strategic plans made to ensure the longevity of the business in question. We will cover the following areas of business planning and use all of that information to look at the last few Monarchies left in the world, and take a closer look at the UK Monarchy, and map it across to the main points of discussion leading up to different types of Monarchies and look at where the...
Diana, Doria & Meghan
Happy UK Mother’s Day
Today Sussex Global UK podcast is celebrating 3 women who have had huge impact on their children and the role they play on the British Royal Family, in a variety of ways. Todays’ podcast is not one of critique or negativity. The focus of this short podcast is on these mothers, and the impact they had on their children, who in turn, each have significant prominence in both UK and in particular Global history.
Princess Diana
Lets start with Princess Diana. Quoting from an article written by Saman Javad in The Independent on 1st July 2021:- Diana’s approach to motherhood eschewed traditional royal protocol in favour of a relaxed relatable approach.
When Tony Blair referred to Diana as “the people’s princess” in a tribute following the news of her death in August 1997, he captured the mood of a nation in mourning. Famed for her personable take on royal life, impeccable sense of style, and hands...
You Never Know What You Have Until It Is Gone
Hello Ivy here,
Well well well, Sussex Squad told the Royalists from the ‘get go’ that this abusive treatment of the Sussexes, and lighting fires under their feet and then gaslighting them by telling them the equivalent of it was under floor heating, would backfire on the UK Monarchy. The Uk Monarchy has a long history of making life difficult for anyone who has independent thought and their worse crime is to shine brighter than any of the heirs to the throne. This ingrained entitlement dictates that those in line to the throne are anointed by a higher power and therefore should be worshipped without question. The populace is led to believe that they are not worthy of such grand people, and that they should recognise this fact, and believe all that is spoken by the Monarchy family. All Monarchy structures are not necessary to any modern society, and all will follow...
Introduction – The Framework of the International Call to Action
All of the SGUK podcasts to date have been divided into categories, and each category relates to one or more of the key areas of focus listed on the Archewell Foundation website. All of the podcasts and their accompanying articles relate to am Archewell priority area of activity. The largest area percentage wise of topics contained within the podcasts come under the heading of Legal matters, stating areas where the law exists and where there is evidence of a complete disregard to the law when it comes to Harry and Meghan, and no doubt to members of the wider population. All of the behaviour towards the Sussexes, and those responsible for the roll out of such activity, all comes under the main heading of breaches in Human Rights Legislation.
This international Call to Action centres on a number of areas within that framework. Due to the nature and hostility shown to anyone...
A Nation That Creates News to Balance the Scales Is a Nation With A Failing Economy
Introduction
The UK has developed a reputation where the minority of the population still read newspapers, and their newspapers of choice are tabloids. Tabloids used to be seen as entertainment and gossip, and something that people read as a pleasant distraction from harsh cruel realities of life in places around the world. Tabloids were particularly popular on a Sunday, as they were seen as legitimate sources to read for amusement, as very few people read serious newspapers on the day renowned as being a day of rest. The members of the population who read newspapers based on how they wanted friends and colleagues to rate them – both in the workplace as well as outside of it – rating in terms of obvious intellect and a desire to get to the nuts and bolts of a discussion on topics which occupied enquiring minds. The latter group...
Scapegoating – The Psychology of Family/Group Dynamics
SGUK Podcast Episode 36 – 20/02/22
Introduction
Todays podcast, expands on topics we have previously discussed in the SGUK podcasts to date, ie Dysfunctional family dynamics, Group Dynamics, in particular the levels of control and how hatred and discriminatory behaviour patterns begin to merge, and how there is a wealth of academic research into how the hatred grows, and the levels in the structure dictate the application of that professed hatred. We explored how those that progress through the ranks of their group structure, emerges as a validation of their worth in their own eyes, and feel that there is a level of camaraderie and friendship that does not exist outside that bubble. There is a general feeling that anyone outside of the group is a threat in some way, and the delusion grows into dangerous proportions with time and progression through the group. We also looked at how narcissists function in such a structure, and...
SGUK Podcast : Episode 35– Black History Month – Black Tudors
Their Existence & Their Achievements
This weeks podcast is part of Black History Month in the USA. The UK version takes place in the Autumn, throughout October.
As this podcast channel encompasses global issues, and as it is based in the UK, I am honouring the USA Black History month, and covering the UK origin of the channel, by opting to highlight and celebrate the achievements of black people based in the UK around the Tudor period.
The Tudor period was between 1485 -1603. To put this era into perspective consider a few major figures and events of the time. Christopher Columbus was serving up insurmountable destruction on the “New World”. The Transatlantic Slave trade was born. Michelangelo paints the Sistine Chapel. Henry VIII, well you know; doing his thing. Niccolo Machiavelli wrote The Prince, and The Art of War, amongst others, and Elizabeth I became queen.
Now we have a clearer idea of...
Martin Luther King JR
Hello Everyone, Ivy here,
Todays podcast is a little different to the usual style. At the heart of the podcast is the famous speech by Martin Luther King Jr in 1963, which followed on 100 years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves. When Martin Luther King climbed the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC to describe his vision of America. More than 200,000 people (black and white) came to listen. I quote from one publication (included in the Reference Sources below):- “they came by plane, by car, by bus, by train and by foot. They came to Washington to demand equal rights for black people, and the dream that they heard on the steps of the Monument became the dream of a generation.”
The original speech that Martin Luther King intended to give was meant to be quite short, but he was asked by another speaker on the day, to talk...
This weeks podcast refers to the televised game show of Royal It’s a Knockout, which took place in the late 80s, and appears to have morphed into a game of Musical Chairs, with jealousy and envy the guiding force. Yes, cosplay was in full force for the televised tournament for charity, and continues in its fake heroes to the international game of disappearing chairs which is designed to see who is the last person standing. There are still a few images from the gameshow that have not been erased from the internet. This accompanying article will make you smile when you see some of the costumes. Not a lot has changed in terms of playing dress up but like the Hunger Games podcast, the losers here are intended to be victims. What most of the protagonists have yet to realise, is that it all depends on who is in charge of the music.

Queen Charlotte, Princess Diana & Doria Ragland
Created Huge Impact on British Royal History
& You Will Never Hear Described in this Way by the Current British Monarchy
Context
Hello everyone. Todays podcast takes a helicopter view of 3 mothers, who are connected to the British Monarchy, either directly or via marriage, and whose children appear to have ruffled the Royal establishment figures and protocols, following in two cases, like their respective mothers did – purely by being themselves. In all 3 family stories, the element of people of colour plays a role, and the way the British Monarchy reacted to people who had independent thoughts, is very similar over the centuries.
What does it say about a system that procreates to extend the line of power, and where the first born male is treated as though they are anointed by some kind of high power, and the people of the realm are meant to worship them without question. In all 3 cases, history...
Who Do Narcissistic Men Target?
What Traits Make You a Prime Target & What Point Should it Become a Legal Matter?
Introduction
I keep on seeing people from various corners of the planet, who regularly do things that others would be challenged about, and in some cases, have legal action taken against them. In all cases, the class system appears to play a part in terms of the ‘turning of a blind eye’ to certain actions, because some people are seen as above the law, or their behaviour is seen as a grain of sand in an otherwise trouble free existence. Good character etc etc. Some people anyway. If we explore this category further, we can further subdivide the perpetrators, and do the same with the people they target.
For the regular perpetrators of certain categories of acts, with research, it is possible to see even more patterns and trends, of both the perpetrators and also the people they choose to be on the...
Reporting on The Sussexes in the UK – Misinformation & Disinformation Techniques
The article accompanying this weeks podcast looks at a selection of Sussex key dates in 2021 & 2022, focussing on the UK media practice of misinformation or disinformation about each one, with the intent to distract from actual newsworthy editorial that should be reported on. We have plenty to look forward to in 2022 with many key events in the calendar. Be prepared for the distraction tactics to go up a gear or two. UK RRs are currently having dry baths in the ashes that they claimed to wish for, ie the apparent popularity of the relics of UK Monarchy. We know that they only eat when they insert the name of Harry or Meghan into their fake headlines, as they continue to scrape the barrel of UK Royal activity in their effort to make fetch happen. At least one RR was based in Montecito over the festive period,...
Blurred Lines Between a Constitutional Monarchy & Government
And
The Implications for the UK In the Future
The background for this article and accompanying podcast is based on my observations of the British Royal Family over the course of most of my adult life, and in particular since the time of Princess Diana and the circumstances and treatment of her during her marriage to the Prince Charles. Following her death, it became obvious that in the subsequent years some members of the family seemed to go out of their way to ‘rise above’ some relatives, and commenced on a pattern of behaviour that I liken to crabs in a bucket. Crabs prepared to fight and crawl over others in order to be ‘on top’ and ‘seen’ and liked etc. Holding a Title of a Monarch or being part of the Monarchy family appears to carry less weight than it used to. The type and scope of reverence to people born into a position,...
UK Monarchy & Human Rights
SGUK Episode 26
Introduction
This weeks article and podcast draws upon a couple of previous podcasts on this subject and is updated with subsequent events since those publications.
Have you ever wondered whether the British Royal Family and their Associates in the British Media (particularly those in the Royal Rota) live in an alternative universe compared to the rest of us? Are there different forces operating in their zone? Does the UK Monarchy use a different rule book when it comes to interaction with the Sussexes as opposed to every other family member? Is slavery still alive and thriving in the UK Monarchy? Anyone who dares to question this abusive oppressive society is pounced upon with the aim to break their spirit and to then rebuild them in the clone like stature of the other members. If that is not acceptable to any objectors they are treated like slaves gone bad, and they are treated like prey –...
Private & Royal Charities – How Are They Doing?
Introduction
In February 2021 UK media had a field day rejoicing in the fact that the Sussexes were “stripped” of “their Royal patronages”, after they confirmed that they would not be returning as working members of the Royal Family.
Most logically minded people worked out that Harry and Meghan were not returning to the UK, when they left the UK in November 2019 for a six week break from the daily venom spouted by UK Media and hate groups encouraged by the same media, towards the couple. In January Harry announced that they were stepping back from Senior Royal duties. It later transpired that most of their belongings from Frogmore Cottage had been removed, and Archie and the family dogs had all travelled out of the UK in November 2019. It was at this point that the Kubler Ross model of the 7 Stages of Grief described wonderfully the reactions and behaviour of the...
The Business of UK Royal Propaganda
This weeks podcast looks at the Language of Propaganda and the techniques used in UK media. Propaganda is thedissemination of information – whether that be, facts, arguments, rumours, half-truths or lies - with the aim to influence public opinion. UK tabloid media, is now globally known for leading the way in the dissemination of information in this way, and is the medium of choice for the UK Royal Family. I will give illustrations of how it has manifested over the last 5 years and how it has weakened the Monarchy itself. The reality is a hole was dug hoping the Sussexes would fall in, and be out of sight, but one by one, those who helped with the digging, have been falling in themselves, and the rest are balancing on the edge. Karma is making visits.
Propaganda Techniques

Which Members of the UK Royal Family Receive Public Funding?
Finances of the Royal Family
Sources of funding:-
There are three sources of funding for The Queen, or officials of the Royal Household acting on Her Majesty’s behalf, in both a public and private capacity. These are: the Sovereign Grant, the Privy Purse and The Queen’s personal wealth and income.
The Sovereign Grant
This is the amount of money provided by Government to the Royal Household in support of The Queen’s official duties, including the maintenance of the Occupied Royal Palaces: Buckingham Palace, St James’s Palace, Clarence House, Marlborough House Mews, the residential and office areas of Kensington Palace, Windsor Castle and the buildings in the Home and Great Parks at Windsor, and Hampton Court Mews and Paddocks.
The Sovereign Grant is provided by HM Treasury and consolidates the funding previously provided through the Civil List and the Property Services, Communications and Information and Royal Travel Grants-in-aid. HM Treasury is responsible for monitoring the application of the...
Remembering Veterans Past and Present
USA Treating Prince Harry with Respect Unlike the UK on Remembrance Day 2020
Context
This piece is centred on the disgusting and offensive behaviour by UK tabloid press, no doubt on behalf of their Masters, the British Royal Family, on Remembrance Sunday 2020. Abhorrent to far more UK residents than the Royal Family or their Media friends anticipated, and the backlash was swift – both within and external to the UK. I see no point in attempting to describe the role of the UK media tabloids, Royal Reporters in particular, in any other way than they are the Propaganda arm of UK Monarchy. Everyone knows of propaganda activities around the world and the regimes that utilised that approach to achieve certain beliefs and modes of behaviour. In modern times it appears to be used for the self protection of designated groups who are not under siege due to warfare or strife, but more to preserve a...
Exploring the Existence of Black Aristocracy in the UK During the Tudor/Stuart Period
&
The Emergence of Black Elite Society in the USA & UK & Africa
Introduction
The request for the subject of this podcast came from a Subscriber to the channel. The Subscriber had heard and read about some tales of the existence of people of colour during that period, but as I also found out from my short research, and using a phrase used by the present British Royal Family, when a situation is uncomfortable to talk about or to admit that a particular situation or approach to people of colour moving in such circles, the phrase “recollections may vary” seemed to be prevalent in the limited research material I could find.
This weeks podcast highlights and gives examples of non white people living in Tudor and Stuart times in the UK, and who were not yet classed as slaves. People of colour were part of the population, mainly living in the...
The Escalation of Group/Cult Activity Circulating Hate Online
On Social Media Platforms
SGUK – Episode 20 [ Update & Incorporation of Elements of Previous Podcasts on this Topic]
Context
As most of my supporters know, I rarely ever do a podcast or an article about anything that has recently appeared in the news. I don’t take much interest in the day to day activity of any person or group, even when it relates to Meghan and Harry. My focus has always been (and I did it for a living for most of my career) to focus on what are the possible motives behind such activity? Who would benefit from it and is there a pattern of such activity, and how far back does it go? Is there an identifiable trend? What have been the possible triggers to set off such activity, and within those triggers, is there an identifiable source etc.
So I was looking forward to seeing the publication of the initial findings and...
SGUK Episode 19
Context
A reminder of this topic which we explored in July, and one which I wanted to revisit in light of yet another interview on a UK tv network, interviewing one of the main abusers of Meghan Duchess of Sussex, mainly for income by most of them and in one case, purely because of fragile egos of family members they stayed true to form, and set out to destroy their victim via instructing others to do the day to day deeds. Uk and Australian news networks have made a habit out of interviews, and documentaries and day time tv shows with panels of so called Royal experts, all joining in the ‘pile on’ of one individual who had the gall to fall in love and marry the favourite Prince of the British Royal Family. A whole industry has evolved over the last 5 years, and all of the participants have gained financially by their participation. As a UK born...
The Dukes of Sussex
SGUK Pc Episode 18 – 171021
The majority of this narrative about the Dukes of Sussex centres more on the first Duke not least to prepare the ground for the comparisons and similarities with the present day, of which we already know so much. So please bear with me as I spent time on the summary of the first Duke. Along the way you will each most likely identify things that link to Prince Harry’s situation in some way or another. There is truly a wealth of information out there about most members of the British Royal family going back centuries. This podcast barely touches the surface of the information about the 12 siblings of the first Duke of Sussex, let alone the information about his parents, whose mother was considered to mixed race by a few brave historians, but on the whole most historians did not comment about it. You may have noticed, if any of your...
Introduction
This week’s podcast looks at various business models and in particular explores Being Royal and Being Philanthropic. We will look at impact and approaches, and point out how Royal Tours are very different in purpose and content in comparison to meetings with a variety of business leaders in a number of locations, i.e., global Foundations, such as Archewell. Service is indeed universal, and it does not have to be carried out by a selected few.
Business Model Examples
The term business model refers to a company's plan for making a profit. It identifies the products or services the business plans to sell, its identified target market, and any anticipated expenses. Business models are important for both new and established businesses. They help new, developing companies attract investment, recruit talent, and motivate management and staff. Established businesses should regularly update their business plans or they'll fail to anticipate trends and challenges ahead. Business plans help investors evaluate companies that interest them.

How to Recognise Collective Narcissism & Its Application Towards the Sussexes by the UK
Episode 15
What Is Collective Narcissism?
One of the reference sources I used is Goldsmiths University, in the City of London. One quote from its website on the subject is this:-
“Collective narcissism is defined as an emotional investment in a belief in the unparalleled greatness of an in-group contingent on external validation.
It is a group level, equivalent of individual narcissism. Its focus is on grandiosity and entitlement of an in-group rather than the self. People can be collective narcissistic about any group they belong to. We researched collective in context of national ethnic, religious, football fans and gender groups. As well as mundane social groups such as university peers.”
We tend to hear a lot about individual narcissistic behaviour, and for our purposes, think here of the British Royal Family members – particularly those high in the Line of Succession. Think also of UK media and the behaviour and quite...
Is a Hereditary Monarchy Viable in the UK's Future?
Episode 14
What is a Constitutional Monarchy?
Quotation from the site: Britpolitics.co.uk
Constitutional monarchy refers to a system in which the monarch acts as a non-party political head of state under the constitution, whether written or unwritten
A systemin which the king or queen's power is severely limited, because they act only on the advice of the politicians who form the government
As Head of State, The Monarch undertakes constitutional and representational duties which have developed over one thousand years of history. In addition to these State duties, The Monarch has a less formal role as 'Head of Nation'. The Sovereign acts as a focus for national identity, unity and pride; gives a sense of stability and continuity; officially recognises success and excellence; and supports the ideal of voluntary service.
In all these roles The Sovereign is supported by members of their immediate family.
The term monarchy derives from the Greek ‘monos arkhein’ meaning ‘one ruler’.
Queen II is the sovereign and hed of state of the UK and its overseas...
A newly discovered letter from a freed former slave to his onetime master created a buzz in 2012 . Letters of Note explains that in August of 1865, a Colonel P.H. Anderson of Big Spring, Tennessee wrote to his former slave Jourdan Anderson, requesting that Jourdan return to work on his farm.
In the time since escaping from slavery, Anderson had become emancipated, moved to Ohio where he found paid work and was now supporting his family. The letter turned up in the August 22 edition of the New York Daily Tribune. An Excerpt:-
"Sir: I got your letter, and was glad to find that you had not forgotten Jourdon, and that you wanted me to come back and live with you again, promising to do better for me than anybody else can. I have often felt uneasy about you. I thought the Yankees would have hung you long before this, for harboring Rebs they found at your house. I suppose they...
Let Go of The Toxic People in Your Life - Before They Destroy You
Hello everyone,
Today’s podcast (Episode 11) is all about toxic people and toxic environments, and the impact on our mental health dealing with this behaviour day in day out, year in year out. I have divided the podcast and the article into distinct but inter related categories, and tie all of them directly to the experiences of Harry and Meghan and events that have occurred since 2016. I will discuss the main players involved, and in my opinion, I regard each group mentioned complicit in the activities by their silence of their peers and lack of assistance to the two people on the receiving end of this behaviour. I liken it to various regiments of UK armed forces doubling down on the abuse of two people, who did nothing wrong.
The only actions that seemed to have triggered the Commanders in Chief to instruct their personnel to behave in...
The Psychological Stages of Jealousy & Envy

Stages of Jealousy and Envy
In the UK Royal Group of Clowns
This weeks podcast explores the psychological stages of Jealousy and Envy, and the physical evidence of it being in play. The source group for this brief outline of activity is the UK Monarchy and its Associates in Government and Media and their supporters. The topic of study is vast, and the subjects for the purposes of this podcast, are rich in evidence. We have five years and counting of research material which will keep psychologists and many sections of the health care professions occupied for whole careers.
[i]“Jealousy involves fear with thoughts of a potential loss. Commonly jealousy is an emotional reaction activated by the actual or anticipated interest in another person by someone we care about. When a third party threatens the bond that exists in a partnership, we may feel insecure, rejected, worried,...

“I think he would be very proud of the continuing legacy of Britain in those
Places around the world, and particularly I think he would be amazed at India, the world’s largest democracy – a stark contrast, of course, with other less fortunate countries that haven’t had the benefit of British rule. If I can say this on the record – why not? It’s true, it’s true”.

Who’s Sorry Now? Definitely Not The Sussexes
Episode 8
It is important for a nation to realise that demographic changes affect all areas of human activity:- economic, social, cultural and political. All forward thinking businesses research, develop and build their business plans based essentially on those 4 areas listed above. Any business that plans activities outside those areas, is destined to fail at some point in the future. Not everything can be predicted but most things can be if policy makers and strategy specialists follow and interpret trends in each of those areas. Where things happen that could not be foreseen, then the ability and speed of flexibility comes into play.
The British Royal Family refers to itself as The Firm, not a family, yet it does not operate in any shape or form like a well run business. Times have changed, and businesses that remain in business by loyal customers, or who remained in a time warp together, are becoming few and...
Welcome to the Royal Hunger Games 2021
Welcome to the Royal Hunger Games
The teams are ready for another year of searching for, and then finding, and then hunting down their food source. Sometimes their findings can be used for bartering purposes, which enable them to have access to better quality food on the table, and to hopefully give them a reasonable lifestyle. Things have become a little austere for some of the groups since their major income generator decided to improve their lifespan by relocating to another continent. The previous users of the service, treated them badly, and took them for granted. Expected all food sources to be free and on demand, without any thought or consideration of changing business needs, and possibly consideration to an increase of the actual workforce. The customers continued to want more for less, and had no regard to the impact of their demands on the provider of the said food sources.
By using the main themes...
Coercive ControlSussex Global UK Podcast – Episode 6Lets be clear here. I am not saying criminal activity in relation to the coerced control is the template for legal response to the type of activity that has been directed at Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex for the past 5 years. What I am saying is that under the basic tenet of Human Rights legislation, there are many categories of law that run parallel to what is going on with the Sussexes, and where action has been taken against people who are not considered powerful or wealthy. Yet when it comes to people in powerful positions and who have senior professional posts in the business or legal world, or are considered as influencers in certain areas of business or politics, then the world turns a blind eye until things become so serious, or what was once hidden comes to light, the powers that be are forced to respond in some...
The Stages of Leaving an Abusive Environment
SG – Podcast 5
I referred to this model in my previous Podcast covering Herd Mentality and whether or not we can be programmed to hate. One of the sites I visited was the US Department of Justice. A study on the Psychopathology of Hate Groups was shown. A study and a report by John R Shafer MA and Joe Navarro MA. I highly recommend. As I said recently if the FBI and the Department of Justice are using these and more models as part of their toolkit of approaches to these groups and individuals who are of concern, then where are the international legal organisations and what have they been doing about this phenomenon that is on a global increase. The treatment of Harry and Meghan is the tip of the iceberg, but it can be so useful for research for decades. Lets not wait for victims to stop breathing before we start to...
SGUK Podcast 4 270621
Introduction
This article will accompany an associated podcast examining the definitions of hatred and how it manifests in group situations. I explore herd mentality and whether or not we are programmed to behave this way. I discuss why people hate and what happens in our brains when we do.
The differences and connections between love and hate. I have done a small amount of research on crowd psychology, whether it be physically together, or via online platforms, and why and how people ‘fall or move’ into group decisions on what and how they post etc. I return to a topic that was touched upon in a podcast from last year (comparing the similarities between the UK Monarchy and a Cult) where I have explored the psychology of propaganda and how it an manifest itself in every day living, as opposed to times of wartime conflict. Conflict is still present, and the intent to persuade groups of the population to...
Human Rights & UK Monarchy Rules
Introduction
Have you ever wondered whether the British Royal Family and their Associates in the British Media (particularly those in the Royal Rota) live in an alternative universe compared to the rest of us? Are there different forces operating in their zone? Does the UK Monarchy use a different rule book when it comes to interaction with the Sussexes as opposed to every other family member? Is slavery still alive and thriving in the UK Monarchy? Is the chasing of Harry and Meghan around the world, for breaking of faux rules and/or protocol part of a new reality show that we have not been informed about? Is the mission to break them psychologically part of a new game show of Endurance, and if so, who is behind the concept, and which tv network is financing it all? When does this new game show come to an end? When is the last episode? Is this a...
UK Media - Stop Clinging to the Sussex Wave
The British Royal Family and its media are acting exactly like an ex spouse who is angry that their victim has escaped from their abusive behaviour. The abusers doubled down on the abuse, as a way of trying to give the impression that they still had control over the actions of Harry and Meghan. Since Harry and Meghan have managed to leave that perceived gilded prison, there has been an increasing sinister nature to the public attacks on the couple, Meghan in particular, all done via UK media partners. The risks on their lives and that of their child and now an unborn child have increased enormously. There is no sign of the BRF standing down from these attacks, and there still seems to be some kind of strange belief that if harm comes to Meghan and children, in whatever form, then the marriage would end, and Harry would somehow return to...
