The Aristocracy - Born to Rule 1875-1914. The BBC production on the British aristocracy. Episode 1.
The golden age for England's aristocracy. Around the turn of the century, Britain's aristocracy owned 80 percent of the land and dominated Parliament.
Although the law on Royal succession has been changed to allow Kate and William's new baby to inherit the throne, regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl - that's not true for the aristocracy. Now some are calling for reform.

*** The Greeks gave us the word aristocracy; it takes its root from ‘aristo’, meaning best and ‘kratos’, meaning rule or power. And for more than five hundred years Britain was ruled by a class that was defined, at the time, as the best. They founded their ascendancy on the twin pillars of land and heredity and in terms of privilege, preferment, power, style and wealth, they dominated British society. As the Earl of Chesterfield confidently informed the House of Lords in the mid-18th century, “We, my lords, may thank heaven that we have something better than our brains to depend upon”. What made the British Aristocracy the one of the most successful power elites in the world? And what brought about its decline? ***

The Aristocracy series was originally aired on the BBC. Each episode explores a period in the history of Britain's noble classes. Focusing on the changing status of this class in the modern world, each tape offers a glimpse into a world only the privileged are intimately familiar with. In this particular episode, viewers explore the present and future of the storied social class. Booming property values and the increase in value of many private art collections have led to a remarkable reversal of fortune for many members of Britain's monied elite. As this video shows, the nobility of England still exert remarkable influence throughout their nation. ~ Rob Ferrier, Rovi

In this particular episode, viewers explore the years between WWI and WWII.

UNCOVER Truth of Life in Edwardian Families | British Manor House || Documentary english subtitles
The early years of the twentieth century rank among the most peaceful in European history. In Britain's grand homes, Manor Houses it was a time of glamour, high society, and unfettered optimism. The British aristocracy enjoyed life on vast estates as they had done for centuries. Retinues of servants, beautiful houses, Manor Houses and fabulous costumes: the parties were extravagant, the scandal was infamous. It's no surprise that some of the most popular dramas to hit our screens have been set against this rich and colorful backdrop. In reality, however, the picture was less than golden; the historic order was starting to crumble. With World War One looming, and new technology, money, and ideas coming over from America, the British aristocracy were being threatened by deepening undercurrents of change as the nation stood at the brink of an upheaval so monumental that few could imagine it. Nowhere was this threat of change felt more acutely than within the confines of the British Manor House.
Exactly 100 years ago, the world of the British Manor House was at its height. It was a world of luxury that that has provided a majestic backdrop to a range of movies and popular costume dramas to this day. But what was really going on behind these stately walls and under the servants’ stairs? “Secrets of the Manor House” looks beyond the fiction to the truth of how life was in these ancient British houses, and how mounting financial, political and social pressures brought momentous changes to both the wealthy and their servants. The program covers the background of the British titled class in Edwardian times, the realities for servants working in their estates, Manor Houses the concept of the entail that passed estates to the next generation, the growing influence of American wealth in British aristocracy at the beginning of the 20th century, and the impact of the first world war on the social class system evident at a British country house.

Over the short time the channel has been in existence, a constantly re-occuring question being put to me is, How can a person learn and improve oneself to become a real Gentleman? Today the term "gentleman" is gravely misunderstood and often banded about by countless blogs/vlogs with very little understanding of what it really means. A real Gentleman is not just a well tailored man as so many mistakenly think. It is an ideal that ANYONE can aspire to be combining many things including education, etiquette, tradition, culture, responsibility, refinement, style, wealth, taste, just to name a few. As promised to my viewers, I will tackle this complex question in 2016 but it will not be easy! First we must understand what a real gentleman is and what better place to start than with the traditional definition of the word and taking a look at my own family. Today I share an outline of my up and coming video mini-series for next year and look at a rare behind the scenes look at a traditional British aristocratic family, including horse riding, hunting, prestigious institutions, and my grandfather's Rolls Royces.

Aristocracy
Aristocracy (Greek ἀριστοκρατία aristokratía, from ἄριστος aristos "excellent," and κράτος kratos "power") is a form of government that places power in the hands of a small, privileged ruling class. The term derives from the Greek aristokratia, meaning "rule of the best".
At the time of the word's origins in Ancient Greece, the Greeks conceived it as rule by the best qualified citizens—and often contrasted it favourably with monarchy, rule by an individual. In later times, aristocracy was usually seen as rule by a privileged group, the aristocratic class, and was contrasted with democracy.
Concept
The concept evolved in Ancient Greece, whereby a council of leading citizens was commonly empowered and contrasted with direct democracy, in which a council of citizens was appointed as the "senate" of a city state or other political unit. The Greeks did not like the concept of monarchy, and as their democratic system fell, aristocracy was upheld.
In Ancient Rome, the Republic consisted of an aristocracy—as well as consuls, a senate, and a tribal assembly. In the Middle Ages and early modern era, aristocracies primarily consisted of an influential aristocratic class, privileged by birth, and often by wealth. Since the French Revolution, aristocracy has generally been contrasted with democracy, in which all citizens should hold some form of political power. However, this distinction is often oversimplified. The concept evolved in Ancient Greece, whereby a council of leading citizens was commonly empowered and contrasted with direct democracy, in which a council of male citizens was appointed as the "senate" of a city state or other political unit.

Focusing on the decline of this class in the modern world, each tape offers a glimpse into a world only the privileged are intimately familiar with. In this particular episode, viewers explore a golden age for England's aristocracy. Around the turn of the century, Britain's aristocracy owned 80 percent of the land and dominated Parliament. The program features interviews with current dukes and duchesses, as well as with leading historians. ~ Rob Ferrier, Rovi
BBC:
The Duchess of Devonshire, Sir Charles Wolseley, the Marquess of Anglesey and others describe their ancestors' lifestyles and finances.

The Aristocracy series was originally aired on the BBC. Each episode explores a period in the history of Britain's noble classes. Focusing on the decline of this class in the modern world, each tape offers a glimpse into a world only the privileged are intimately familiar with. In this particular episode, viewers explore the years between WWI and WWII. Accustomed to lives of privilege, the aristocracy of the day found themselves heavily taxed and looked upon with some disdain. As their power slipped due to their loosening grip on Parliament, Britain's monied elite were fading in glory. ~ Rob Ferrier, Rovi
BBC:
The 1920s and 1930s were the 'Brideshead years.' Aristocrats recall house parties, hunting and scandal and London society. But, as war approached, their world began to change forever.

UNCOVER Truth of Life in Edwardian Families | British Manor House || Documentary english subtitles
The early years of the twentieth century rank among the most peaceful in European history. In Britain's grand homes, Manor Houses it was a time of glamour, high society, and unfettered optimism. The British aristocracy enjoyed life on vast estates as they had done for centuries. Retinues of servants, beautiful houses, Manor Houses and fabulous costumes: the parties were extravagant, the scandal was infamous. It's no surprise that some of the most popular dramas to hit our screens have been set against this rich and colorful backdrop. In reality, however, the picture was less than golden; the historic order was starting to crumble. With World War One looming, and new technology, money, and ideas coming over from America, the British aristocracy were being threatened by deepening undercurrents of change as the nation stood at the brink of an upheaval so monumental that few could imagine it. Nowhere was this threat of change felt more acutely than within the confines of the British Manor House.
Exactly 100 years ago, the world of the British Manor House was at its height. It was a world of luxury that that has provided a majestic backdrop to a range of movies and popular costume dramas to this day. But what was really going on behind these stately walls and under the servants’ stairs? “Secrets of the Manor House” looks beyond the fiction to the truth of how life was in these ancient British houses, and how mounting financial, political and social pressures brought momentous changes to both the wealthy and their servants. The program covers the background of the British titled class in Edwardian times, the realities for servants working in their estates, Manor Houses the concept of the entail that passed estates to the next generation, the growing influence of American wealth in British aristocracy at the beginning of the 20th century, and the impact of the first world war on the social class system evident at a British country house.

Over the short time the channel has been in existence, a constantly re-occuring question being put to me is, How can a person learn and improve oneself to become a real Gentleman? Today the term "gentleman" is gravely misunderstood and often banded about by countless blogs/vlogs with very little understanding of what it really means. A real Gentleman is not just a well tailored man as so many mistakenly think. It is an ideal that ANYONE can aspire to be combining many things including education, etiquette, tradition, culture, responsibility, refinement, style, wealth, taste, just to name a few. As promised to my viewers, I will tackle this complex question in 2016 but it will not be easy! First we must understand what a real gentleman is and what better place to start than with the traditional definition of the word and taking a look at my own family. Today I share an outline of my up and coming video mini-series for next year and look at a rare behind the scenes look at a traditional British aristocratic family, including horse riding, hunting, prestigious institutions, and my grandfather's Rolls Royces.

Social Justice Warriors are ruining tech. We've already talked about Ellen Pao and her efforts to ruin reddit, now GitHub is crumbling under the weight of a "Social Impact" task force so hell bent on "diversity" that it has become "almost impossible" to "interview white people" for jobs. Jim says he has been doing research into who is trying to destroy the IT industry, and it will blow your mind when you hear it. Between feminists demanding the UN act to stop people from disagreeing with feminists online, Facebook censoring anyone who talks bad about "refugees" in Europe, and Twitter's new policies of cracking down on "extremism" are we headed for an Internet Aristocracy of a wholly different variety than Jim's old pseudonym implied?
Let's hope not, because letting leftists control vast segments of the economy has far more harmful impacts than simply stifling the fun of problematic shitlords like us. Whenever the seats of power are filled by reality detached fools, bad decisions are made that affect all of us. Take Greece for example. Their egalitarian efforts and the catastrophic outcomes are no surprise to this audience. The government there has run itself so badly into debt that even the other socialist governments of Europe have said "enough is enough". The Greek stock market is today in free fall, ahead of the realization that the government must choose between social unrest, and more austerity, which of course will cause social unrest. That impact was also felt across Europe, and with interest rates already in the red, it is difficult to imagine a positive outcome.
There's quite a bit more to discuss of course, and we'll get to as much of it as possible, plus your calls at 218-936-0815 or Radical Agenda on Skype.
Join us, this and every Monday, as well as Wednesdays and Fridays from 5-7pm Eastern for another exciting episode of the Radical Agenda. It's a show about common sense extremism where we talk about radical, crazy, off the wall things like the IT industry.

Aristocracy
Aristocracy
You talk of all the many things that you have
And you smile from day to day
But no one has ever seen any of these
And those smiles just fade away
Someone keeps shouting out 'I want to know'
Well I can't help singing this song
When they tell me that the devil is a gentleman too
I know I can't go wrong
I have to slip away today
I've been invited down to stay
Yes I feel my going down
They say that eight fishes call men in the sea
And use man-made for the bait
And shoots all the people that fly in the sky
That chance on his estate
That feeds on salmon, that just has to be seen
And none but he can do
They tell me this and they tell me that
And tell me this is always, always something new
You'd better believe it's so
I made up my mind to go
A whole world waits for you
I'll sit with my head thrust down on your knees
And smile for you again
And you won't have to worry about anything now
I'll be halfway there by ten
It only takes a moment to decide on the move
It all seems so absurd
Still I know that the devil is a gentleman too
Who never keeps his word
I made up my mind to go
You'd better believe it's so
