Theories of Englishness Black Spy Podcast number 268 Season 27, Episode 0006 Last week we examined politician Suella Braverman's playing the race card, supposedly in support of the so-called English patriots movement, by suggesting that black people could not be English by ancestry! E.g. they are be implication second tier Englishmen and women or Brits in general. In this week's Black Spy Podcast, Black history month special, we additionally assess 18th 19th and 20th Century British ruling class theories that the British working class were an inferior and degenerate breed (race) to their sophisticated Ruling Class betters and their Middle Class imitators, at a time when up to 75% of Brits where of the perceived inferior Working Class. Carlton contends that the present day Patriots should be aware that up until relatively recently they too were perceived troublesome immigrant types, by the English gentry who. These Working Class English were said to be a problematic breed which needed to be controlled, lest…

What Every British Patriot Needs To Know Black Spy Podcast number 267 Season 27, Episode 0005 Suella Braverman, playing the race card, supports the so-called English patriots, by suggesting that Black people can not be English by ancestry! E.g. they are by implication not really English, Hence, second tier Englishmen or women. In this week's Black Spy Podcast's - Black history month special - I pose Mrs Braverman and the so-called English Patriots the following: Firstly, as regards being English, why is Braverman only mentioning that people of colour can't be English. So conversely, is she suggesting that if you are not of colour, questioning one's Englishness would be incongruous. Meaning, Englishness is colour coded. Secondly if Braverman has any understanding of English history, she would know that a sizable number of black people lived in what is now England 300 years prior to the arrival of the Germanic English progenitors - the Angles & Saxons! in ca 490 AD. So, why would Braverman suggest this when…

Understanding British Secret Intelligence with Dr. M Hanif Majothi (Part 3) Black Spy Podcast number 266 Season 27, Episode 0004 THE BLACK SPY PODCAST — SPECIAL THREE-PART SERIES Who really created Britain's secret intelligence system? In this compelling three-part series, Carlton King is joined by Dr. Mohamed Hanif Majothi to examine the origins of one of the least understood — yet most important — institutions in British national security: Metropolitan Police Special Branch. The conventional history places its creation in 1883. Dr. Majothi challenges that accepted date, arguing that 1887, when funding was provided for the organisation, is the more meaningful starting point. But the discussion goes much further than dates. Carlton and Dr. Majothi trace the extraordinary chain of development from Special Branch to MI5, MI6 and ultimately the wider intelligence architecture incorporating military intelligence and GCHQ — examining how these organisations evolved, overlapped and operated alongside one another.…

Burnham-Playing Russian Roulette With Your Life! (Part3) Black Spy Podcast number 263 Season 27, Episode 0001 In this week's Black Spy Podcast, Carlton King argues that Prime Minister Andy Burnham has not shifted the UK's Ukraine War policy vis-à-vis Russia after succeeding Keir Starmer, but has instead increased military support for Ukraine via long range drone and missile strikes into Russia cities. Carlton contends that President Putin has explicitly warned that states enabling long-range strikes into Russia towns and cities will be regarded as participants and will be responded to accordingly. The podcast questions whether the UK's involvement, including IRS to target and direct advanced long range weapons makes Britain an active participant in those operations. Carlton also argues that the British government has not sufficiently prepared the country for the potential consequences of this support to Ukraine, noting the UK's limited ability to defend against advanced Russian missile threats.

The Next Big British Scandal? With Bowie Dolan (Part 2) Black Spy Podcast number 260 Season 26, Episode 0008 The Black Spy Podcast continues its two‑part investigation into the long‑running controversy surrounding UK contractor tax‑avoidance "loan schemes." Host Carlton King is joined by guests Bowie Dolan and Furgas Esack, who bring first‑hand insight into how thousands of self‑employed contractors were drawn into arrangements marketed as fully compliant tax‑efficiency structures. Under these schemes, contractors' earnings were routed through large intermediary companies and then paid back to them as "loans," dramatically reducing declared income and therefore tax liability. The episodes trace how these schemes proliferated across IT, engineering, and professional contracting sectors, often promoted as legitimate and government‑approved. Dolan and Esack explain the mechanics, the sales pitch, and the widespread belief that major corporations and specialist umbrella companies had properly vetted the…

Playing the Race Card Black Spy Podcast number 258 Season 26, Episode 0006 This week on The Black Spy Podcast, we're diving into one of the most sensitive and controversial topics in modern politics, how the 'race card' is used, whether to highlight injustice or to manipulate opinion and mobilise support. We'll explore how political agendas, media narratives, and even grassroots campaigns can use race as a rallying point. But also how that can divide communities when it's used cynically. We're not here to dismiss racism or discrimination, but to ask whether every appeal to race is made in good faith, or if sometimes it's a strategic move to shape what people believe or how they behave locally, nationally, internationally and global – today and in the past. Join us for a thoughtful, evidence-based discussion that aims to cut through the slogans and examine the reality.

Can PM Andy Burnham Bring Realism To No.10? Black Spy Podcast number 257 Season 26, Episode 0005 In this week's critical thinking episode, Carlton states why Prime Minister Andy Burnham must pivot Great Britain away from the shadows of its imperial past and align its ambitions with its present reality. Carlton argues that Burnham must focus on revitalizing the UK from within, rather than trying to maintain a global role that no longer fits the UK's current economic and military standing. The podcast highlights that the UK must abandon the superficial idea of simply relocating a few functions to the North and instead emulate countries like Germany, which has multiple regional centres of excellence. This would mean creating strong, economically diverse hubs throughout the nation, beyond London's traditional dominance. Moreover, Burnham must seriously reform the UK's devolution structure, ensuring that it is not just a token gesture but a meaningful redistribution of authority and resources. The importance of…

The Collapse of Germany (Part 2) Black Spy Podcast number 251, Season 25, Episode 0009 In last week's and this week's incisive episodes of the Black Spy Podcast, Carlton King delivers a hard-hitting geopolitical assessment of Germany's present day collapse from its position of the undisputed economic powerhouse of the European continent as a result of Germany's action to aid the Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. Carlton examines the growing militarism of Germany, its Intelligence Reconnaissance Surveillance (IRS) support to the Ukraine to strike Russian cities including Moscow and St Petersburg as well as building German forces to a level not seen since the Third Reich.

(Part 2) Black Spy Podcast number 248, Season 25, Episode 0007 In this week's explosive episode of the Black Spy Podcast, Carlton King delivers a hard-hitting geopolitical assessment of Britain's deepening involvement in the Ukraine conflict. Examining the UK's provision of missiles, drones, intelligence support, and targeting assistance used in strikes against Russian territory — including civilian areas around Moscow — Carlton warns that London and its NATO allies may be dangerously escalating the war beyond that of a conventional proxy engagement.

Mandelson - Starmer's Downfall? Black Spy Podcast number 244, Season 25, Episode 0003 A sharp, punchy episode of Black Spy that dissects how Peter Mandelson has become a political liability for Keir Starmer. The podcast convincingly argues that Starmer's judgment—particularly around Mandelson's controversial associations—has eroded trust at a critical moment. Drawing on the broader scandal narrative, including questions over vetting and links to Jeffrey Epstein, it frames the issue as symptomatic of deeper leadership fragility rather than a one-off misstep. Insightful and provocative, the episode blends political intelligence with narrative tension, though at times it leans heavily into speculation. Overall, a compelling critique of power, perception, and potential downfall. Listen now to The Black Spy Podcast.

The Fake of Democracy The Black Spy Podcast 228, Season 23, Episode 0007 This week Carlton King asks - is Democracy a con? In this critical thinking episode of the Black Spy Podcast Carlton poses the seldom asked question how could the USA be the leader of the free world from 1945 onward when African American 1/5 of the US population were effectively denied the right to vote, have substantial schooling, suffered extreme discrimination in housing - employment - policing - judicial sentencing - banking & finance (loans not being available to blacks) and indeed any type of social, cultural and national interaction. Moreover, the final nail in the US's democratic credentials is that from the end of the US civil war in 1865 all the way through to the early 1980's, the lynching of African American men and indeed women was not unusual. So I ask, how could the USA be seen as the leader of the Free World - possibly it was because the West: Central & South America the European colonies in Africa and Asia and Settler…

2025's Shocking Disclosures (Part 1) The Black Spy Podcast 225, Season 23, Episode 0005 This week's Black Spy Podcast sees host Carlton King and regular thrupple contributor Fergus Esack evaluate 2025 and the stories that have occurred during the year. 2025 will be remembered as a year of pressure, polarisation and profound questioning, and the Black Spy Podcast offers a measured yet unflinching evaluation of a world in flux. Across its episodes, the podcast reflects on how debates around gender continued to evolve, often framed by cultural anxiety, political opportunism and generational divides. These conversations were rarely simple, and Black Spy captured that complexity rather than reducing it to slogans. Politically, 2025 exposed deep fractures. From domestic power struggles to shifting alliances, the podcast assesses how trust in institutions was repeatedly tested. The European Union features as a central theme, navigating economic uncertainty, internal disagreements and its changing role on the global…

Christmas Must Buy Books The Black Spy Podcast 224, Season 23, Episode 0004 This week's Black Spy Podcast sees host Carlton King step away from headlines and hard geopolitics to offer listeners something more seasonal – a carefully curated list of books he believes make powerful, thought-provoking Christmas stocking fillers, each chosen for its ability to inform, challenge and inspire. At the heart of the episode is Carlton's own memoir, Black Ops – The Incredible True Story of a (Black) British Secret Agent, which he frames not as self-promotion, but as an essential corrective to the narrow way British intelligence history is usually told. From there, the discussion broadens into history, politics, race, psychology and power. Titles such as Der Unvergessene Krieg and Winston Churchill's Young Winston are explored as windows into how wars are remembered, mythologised and used to shape national identity. Carlton places particular emphasis on works that reclaim obscured histories, including Great Men of Colour…

The Myth of Anxiety with Neuroscientist Dr. Rachel Taylor (Part 2) The Black Spy Podcast 223, Season 23, Episode 0002 Episode 2 – The Anxiety Myth Part II: Power, Identity & the Business of Fear In this episode, the investigation deepens. Carlton King and Dr. Rachel Taylor explore how power structures—from governments to global tech platforms—exploit anxiety to shape behaviour, control populations and drive profit. If fear is currency, who are the brokers? Why do modern societies appear more anxious despite unprecedented comfort and safety? Is the rise in anxiety actually a symptom of social fragmentation, digital overstimulation and identity disruption rather than individual pathology? And what role does race, class and lived experience play in how anxiety is labelled, treated or ignored? Carlton draws on decades in state security to examine how fear is manufactured, manipulated and monetised. Dr. Taylor challenges the neurological oversimplifications used to justify a multi-billion-pound mental-health…

The Myth of Anxiety with Neuroscientist Dr. Rachel Taylor (Part 1) The Black Spy Podcast 222, Season 23, Episode 0002 Episode 1 – The Anxiety Myth: What If Everything We Think We Know Is Wrong? Is anxiety really a mental health crisis—or have we misunderstood the entire phenomenon? In this week's Black Spy Podcast, Carlton King and Neuroscientist Dr. Rachel Taylor dismantle the assumptions, narratives and commercial interests shaping our modern understanding of anxiety. Why are anxiety diagnoses skyrocketing in the West while resilience appears to be collapsing? Has society medicalised normal human emotion to the point where stress, fear and discomfort are now rebranded as pathology? Dr. Taylor brings cutting-edge neuroscience to the table, challenging listeners to rethink the brain's threat systems, the role of trauma, and the possibility that anxiety may not be a "disorder" at all but a misinterpreted survival mechanism. Carlton interrogates the political, economic and cultural drivers behind the anxiety…
