Episode Synopsis
Welcome to the final episode of our Black History Month special with guest, Carlton King
Born the son of West Indian parents in a 1950’s northern English mill town, Carlton King would in the early 1970's be offered the opportunity to sign as a professional footballer for the local third division club. Rejecting this offer, after sixth form, Carlton would first work as an electrical engineer, before working as a professional club DJ in Germany. Later still Carlton would become Britain’s highest ranking Black secret intelligence officer.
Carlton would spend more than a quarter of century in Scotland Yard’s Special Branch (MPSB), Her Majesty’s Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), the NPOIU (National Public Order Intelligence Unit) and SO1 Specialist Protection Unit. In these units Carlton would be engaged in countless national security and secret intelligence operations at home & abroad, including in warzones and the playgrounds of the rich and famous. Consequently, Carlton was known to many world leaders, from Blair to the Clintons', Schroeder to Sir John Major, Shimon Peres to Angela Merkel, HRH The Prince of Wales to Princess Diana.
Carlton has worked with most nations’ specialist police, secret intelligence and national security agencies and military special-forces. Hence, Carlton's operations have spanned the Cold War, the IRA years, the wars in the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, the covert war on terror and the struggles against extreme left-wing, extreme right-wing, activist Animal Liberation and subversive public disorder operations in London, the UK and beyond.
For several years Carlton was a highly successful MI6 counter-terrorism case officer. Case Officers are the top quarter of MI6 officers who, for want of a better description, perform the real life James Bond role.
In todays episode join me a whistle stop tour into our forgotten Black History:
Who decided who was Black & who was white?
• Is your DNA really white?
• How Black people contributed to Hadrian’s Wall, the Egyptian Empire and the Roman Empire
• Was Queen Elizabeth 1st racist?
• The role of Black men in the 2nd world war
• and the great Windrush myth
