What exactly is "the Sussex Squad"?

I don't know whether this is too controversial a topic for such a thread to be allowed to stand. But I post in good faith on a topic I believe has a lot of social and political relevance.

Does the "Sussex Squad" actually exist? If so, how do you join? If not, do people ever identify as belonging to it?

If it exists, was it hijacked by SarahData and Bouzy or was it their creation? And, if so, to what extent?

Thanks in advance.

The Sussex squad are a small group of supporters of H & M, mixed in with these individuals are a lot of bots and fake accounts.

They are vicious and very toxic, and uninformed, often making fake and outrageous accusations, specifically aimed at W & C, who they despise.

They are very loud online, seem to post and be disruptive on any stories about the RF, but particularly Catherine 24 hours a day, this has led to the assumption that they are either unemployed and completely obsessed or possibly paid by H & M to attack the RF and bring down W & C.

It is important to note that H & M, who are both outspoken against online bullying refuse to speak out against this group of their supporters who are running a bullying campaign, their silence speaks loudly of their support for what the Sussex Squad stand for, and again points towards them funding individuals to carry out these online attacks.

I think some posts on this thread have clearly shown that the Sussex Squad is a negative campaigning group (possibly with some naive members who have not realised this) which routinely peddles misinformation and uses inflammatory language.

That's also my opinion of what I've read (I'm lazily quoting as I probably wouldn't put it any better Smile).

No point in engaging with tin foil.

Quite.

Perhaps we can at least believe the 👋👋👋.
Hope so (but I'm doubtful).

To answer some of your questions:
Yes, I've read Spare. All the way through! Yes, I watched Oprah, the Netflix series and Harry's interview with Tom Bradby.
I read the interview in The Cut magazine and heard a podcast.
All of the above have enabled me to have an evidenced opinion on Harry and Meghan.

@LaMarschallin - is it like a concert where you think the performer has gone but they keep coming back for another encore and you've got your coat on and called an uber?

IsoldeWagner · 10/04/2024 08:39

What is it that pp said about a departure lounge?!

LaMarschallin · 10/04/2024 08:40

Beautifully put Smile
And I didn't even enjoy the concert.

@IsIsoldeWagner, that is your opinion. My post is not incorrect or patronising. However, the fact you are saying otherwise is subjective.

The one post is, yes, a copy & paste I keep, so I'm not continually rewriting it that I edit as needed.

However, what I will say apart from Oprah, which the world watched is, have you actually watched all the Netflix series and read the whole of H book SPARE?

I can't see if you had that you could have the same opinion. I have had my say in here. I don't intend to continue this debate with everyone who will comment. I would be here all day if I did.

I forgot to attach the pictures I said of. You can see why people are confused as those are the 4 released over a 2 week period.

I'll bid you a good day and take care

4 photos. One a zoomed long lens shot, one a touched up image released by the subject herself, one a video still from a video taken on a phone by a member of the public and one a video taken professionally by the BBC.

Of course they look different. I look different in photos depending on who took them, how and whether I'm wearing make up, dressed nicely, aware of the photo being taken etc etc. This is not the gotcha people think it is.

I find Harry and Meghan's silence on this subject disappointing. It was probably more understandable when it was confined to twitter and reddit but since Catherine's illness and people like Bouzy and Parks going mainstream with conspiracies I think silence sends a bad message from people who claim to want to combat online misinformation.

I have always believed that what Harry wants is to ensure he receives positive press. I don't know what Meghan wants but I assume as a former actress she knows it isn't possible. Regardless this silence isn't helping their credibility.

I can’t take anything anyone says seriously when throwing nasty allegations of a PoW ‘affair’ which they state as fact.

Of course it's not.

No more than pix of Harry looking pissed off at a concert or other event is proof of that marriage being in trouble.

Neither is a sound conclusion

Sometimes the double-think is really blatant.

Agree. I never understand why photos, taken in a split second, are supposed to reveal any truth about anyone.

IsoldeWagner · 10/04/2024 09:17

Exactly. It's just a moment in time, not evidence of a long term issue.

Ratsoffasinkingsauage · 10/04/2024 09:24

Beautiful illustrations here of how the Sussex Squad are actually destroying their ‘faves’ reputation and chances to be successful.

Vespanest · 10/04/2024 09:26

My neutral expression was once described as bored beyond shitless, the words don’t even make sense and yet are precisely accurate.

I have resting bitch face, very useful for warding off creeps I've found.

Well, we have had a wonderful example of what the Sussex Squad is on this thread 😁

BTW did you say the same as Charles when he spoke on TV to Jonathon Dimberlby in 1994 about his marriage and is cold, unfeeling, distant parents and childhood and the book that Dimberlby wrote for him

It's Dimbleby. And MN didn't exist in 1994, so not the gotcha you think it is.

Do you post from a cheat sheet or is that all your own work?

IcedPurple · 10/04/2024 10:35

Yes, I am an H & M supporter.

What is it exactly that you 'support'?

What exactly do your idols do?

Well said keffie12 Dan Wotton is not a nice person at all he has a bad obsession with meghan and Harry. He invites people that lie on in to his gossip youtube channel. He is unreliable just like a few others with their YouTube channels. I wouldn't believe anything Wotton has to say. The ToxicBritishMedia is the worst for it making up rubbish stories Wotton use to work for them says it all.

Ratsoffasinkingsauage · 10/04/2024 10:51

I don’t believe Wooton. I believe the evidence of my own eyes. SS members are now trying to DARVO the entire internet to pretend they didn’t behave like swivel eyed loons in regards to PPOW and Catherine’s illness. We all saw it. Some of us called it out at the time and warned that it was a self destructive cycle.

Well done to all Sussex Squad members for taking part and not calling out the vile trolling. You’ve now made your ‘faves’ international pariahs. Great own goal there.

Wooten started the William/Rose affair rumour. Can you now confirm you don’t believe it?
