Me Against the World
Show notes
Whether you're a multimillionaire or the son of a King, sometimes it can still feel like everyone is out to get you.
And so we turn to Nigel Farage and Prince Harry. Both are dealing with huge PR fallouts on which the dust is nowhere near settling.
This week, David Yelland and Farzana Baduel discuss why even the most powerful people claim the whole world is against them. It's certainly a tried and tested PR tactic - painting yourself as the lone wolf, the outsider, you against the Establishment.
It can help create a useful diversion to what the actual story is - a reframing of the narrative to tell the story you want to tell, as opposed to the media.
It can illicit sympathy - but it can also just look like moaning.
