    598. Geoff Norcott: “The Truth Is, I Probably Did Self-Censor”

    🔥 Geoff Norcott on Comedy, Brexit, the BBC, Men’s Issues & Why Comedy Lost Its Balls 🔥


    In this explosive episode of Heretics, I’m joined by comedian, writer and broadcaster Geoff Norcott — often described as the only conservative comedian allowed on the BBC — for a brutally honest conversation about comedy, politics, culture wars and free speech.



    SPONSORS:




    Geoff opens up about voting Leave, being labelled a “token Tory”, navigating BBC comedy, and why the 2010s broke comedy through fear, self-censorship and ideological purity. We talk about Brexit, cancel culture, topical comedy, Mock the Week, The Mash Report, and what really happens behind the scenes at the BBC.


    We also dive deep into:


    - Why 98% of comedians lean left

    - How Brexit changed everything in British comedy

    - Self-censorship, fear, and why comics stopped taking risks

    - The Ava Santina / Politics Live moment and the fallout

    - Men’s mental health, male identity, and whether we need a Minister for Men

    - Why discussions about men get derailed — and who benefits

    - Class, working-class voices, and BBC “diversity” panels

    - Why comedy works best when left and right actually clash

    - Why podcasts replaced TV as the home of honest comedy

    - Whether comedy has finally got its balls back


    Geoff also reflects on Laurence Fox, GB News, cancel culture on the right and left, and why ideological purity is killing real conversation. This is a rare, long-form discussion that doesn’t shout slogans — it actually thinks.


    If you’re interested in:

    free speech, British comedy, politics, men’s issues, BBC bias, cancel culture, culture wars, Brexit, or why comedy stopped being funny, this episode is for you.

    597. Chris Packham Defends the BBC — But I Push Back Hard

    In this powerful full-length conversation, Chris Packham joins Andrew Gold for one of the most challenging and revealing interviews of his career. 


    SPONSORS:




    Watch Chris Packham's important film here: https://youtu.be/XjWUKFUaoL4

    Follow him on X: https://x.com/ChrisGPackham


     Across a wide-ranging discussion, they dive into some of the most divisive issues in the UK today — from the BBC’s impartiality to woke culture, transgender debates, multiculturalism, migration, and the future of our society.


    Chris makes a passionate case for the value of an independent BBC, defending public broadcasting and pushing back on claims that it has been overtaken by progressive ideology. Andrew presents the counterargument, questioning whether woke culture, cancel culture, and narrowing viewpoints have created an unbalanced media landscape.


    The episode takes a deeper turn as they explore the trans conversation, with Chris emphasising empathy and tolerance while Andrew raises concerns about underreported stories, regret, and editorial responsibility. From there, they tackle immigration vs migration, the humanitarian crises driving movement across borders, and whether multiculturalism genuinely benefits modern Britain.


    This is not a clash — it’s a rare, honest examination of how two people with different worldviews can challenge each other, listen, and still find common ground. Thought-provoking, uncomfortable, and refreshing in equal measure, this episode is essential viewing for anyone interested in free speech, media accountability, political culture, social change, and the future of public debate.


    Watch to the end for Chris’s urgent message about the greatest threat facing humanity — and why we’re distracted from it.

    595. Gen Z Debate Champion Vs Me: The Truth About Tommy Robinson, Charlie Kirk & the "Far-Right" - Tilly Middlehurst

    In this explosive episode, Andrew sits down with the brilliant Tilly Middlehurst, the Cambridge student bizarrely blamed online for Charlie Kirk’s death after publicly criticising his rhetoric. What follows is one of the most intense, wide-ranging culture-war conversations we’ve ever had on the channel.


    Watch my Israel investigation: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP_Gy8-l7o4EN-1QLzc63bWUCuR9epZ6G

    X: https://x.com/blondepraxis

    TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@blondepraxis 


    Tilly breaks down the online witch-hunt she faced, the accusations from both Right and Left, and the bizarre moment when progressives turned on her simply for saying that celebrating someone’s death is wrong. We dive into why certain violent sentiments seem “acceptable” in progressive circles, the growing trend of Left-wing intolerance, and the moral hypocrisy surrounding political violence.


    We also go deep into the debates that made Tilly infamous:

    • Tommy Robinson – is he really “Right-wing,” and why does that label get thrown around without explanation?

    • Nationalism – why nationalism has historically been associated with the Left, and the difference between civic nationalism and Christian nationalism.

    • Culture vs Religion – from patriarchy in Islamic countries to whether oppression is cultural, legal, or both.

    • Gender, feminism, and whether patriarchy is “natural” – including controversial ideas many are now too scared to say out loud.

    • Race, IQ, immigration, and why older people move to the Right – uncomfortable questions most mainstream platforms refuse to touch.

    • Why some Jewish Brits feel unsafe, rising antisemitism, and why mass immigration makes these conversations unavoidable.


    Tilly also opens up about the backlash from her own side, the pressure to conform to progressive groupthink at university, and why she believes many young people will eventually shift Right as they grow up.


    If you’re tired of the scripted culture-war soundbites and want a raw, unfiltered confrontation of ideas—from religion to race, nationalism to gender, and the political hypocrisy no one else will acknowledge—this is an episode you won’t want to miss.


    🔥 Topics: free speech, political violence, Left-wing extremism, Tommy Robinson debate, nationalism, Islam & culture, feminism vs biology, race & immigration, antisemitism, eugenics discourse, why nations fail, mass immigration politics, media bias (BBC vs GB News), the Groypers, Quran vs Bible, asylum system failures, Sudan double standards, and more.

    594. I Built Ted Baker - Then Got Taken Down Over Hugs? - Ray Kelvin FINALLY Speaks Out

    In this rare and deeply personal conversation, Ray Kelvin - founder of global fashion brand Ted Baker — breaks his silence for the first time. After decades of avoiding interviews, he speaks openly about the rise of Ted Baker, the culture he built, the controversies that ended his tenure, and the emotional cost of losing the company he created.


    SPONSORS:




    Ray addresses the origins of the brand, the unconventional “hug culture,” the online petition that escalated during the MeToo era, and the accusations that ultimately forced him to step down. He discusses criticism over physical boundaries, workplace culture, PR practices, and long-running myths that surrounded him — including stories about hugs, neck-stroking claims, alleged whispering, lap-sitting rumours, and more.


    This conversation also explores his leadership style, the pressures of running a public company, how quickly public sentiment can shift, and the human consequences of Ted Baker’s collapse. Ray describes the impact on thousands of employees, the strain on his personal life, and the condition that affected his hands during the period everything changed.


    He also reflects on difficult moments — confrontations, workplace expectations, and accusations from former staff — sharing his own recollections and regrets. In one of the interview’s most striking moments, Ray speaks about the emotional toll, the cultural climate at the time, and why he believes the world “changed overnight.”


    Candid, uncomfortable, and surprising, this is the first time Ray Kelvin has ever told the full story of what happened — in his own words.

    593. Inside The Muslim Brotherhood's 100-Year-Plan - Extremism Expert Charles Asher Small

    Andrew Gold sits down with Charles Asher Small, one of the world’s leading experts on extremism, to unpack a warning 50 years in the making. According to Small, the ideological project launched by the Muslim Brotherhood nearly a century ago is now at its midpoint—and the next 50 years could determine the fate of Western democracy itself.


    SPONSORS:

    Check out the Woolf Institute: https://www.woolf.cam.ac.uk/

    Follow the brilliant Ali Tabrizi channel for similar content to this:  @iamalitabrizi  


    Small explains how a long-term, methodical strategy has allowed Islamist movements to gain influence across institutions, academia, media, and political elites—often aided, knowingly or not, by Western leaders who have “sold out our basic values and institutions for two pieces of silver.”


    From Qatar’s massive influence campaigns in British and American universities, to allegations of funding reaching all the way to major media personalities, Small reveals a troubling network of soft-power operations shaping public opinion and political discourse. He outlines the ideological alliance he calls the “Red-Green” coalition—a convergence between radical left movements seeking to dismantle Western power structures and Islamist groups pursuing their own anti-democratic aims.


    We examine:


    - How countries like Jordan and the UAE have banned the Muslim Brotherhood

    - Whether the West is “sleeping through a revolution”

    - The UK’s staggering 40,000 individuals on its jihadist watchlist

    - The moral crisis facing Western leadership

    - The real-world implications for women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, religious minorities, and democratic freedoms

    - And the urgent question many are afraid to ask: Is a certain strain of political Islam fundamentally incompatible with Western liberal values?


    Despite the stark warnings, Small is clear: the vast majority of Muslims are decent, peaceful people who simply want to live normal lives. The danger, he argues, lies in extremist ideologies—not ordinary believers.


    This is a gripping, high-stakes conversation about geopolitics, ideology, security, and the future of the free world. As Small puts it:

    “We are sleeping through the revolution. It is time for us to wake up.”

    592. This Trans Debate Went Off the Rails - Dr. Helen Webberley vs Andrew Gold

    In this explosive debate episode of Heretics, Andrew sits down with Dr. Helen Webberley, one of the most controversial figures in the transgender healthcare world, for a brutally honest, high-stakes conversation about sex, gender, science, identity, mental health, and the limits of self-identification.


    SPONSORS:



    Find Dr. Helen Webberley here: https://x.com/HelenWebberley


    From the opening question — “Is a trans woman a woman?” — the discussion dives into the heart of today’s most polarising cultural conflict. Dr. Webberley defends her position with conviction, arguing that being transgender is not a mental illness, while Andrew challenges the logic behind gender identity, the distinction between sex and gender, and whether ideologies around self-identification can withstand scientific scrutiny.


    The debate covers everything from whether transgender people are “real,” to comparisons with anorexia, to whether someone could “identify as a table,” to the emotional and ethical concerns around treating children, puberty blockers, detransitioners, medical evidence, and why so many celebrities have trans-identifying kids.


    At moments deeply uncomfortable, at moments shockingly frank, this episode exposes the core disagreements shaping the modern gender debate — and does so without cutting corners. If you want to understand the arguments, the science, the accusations of pseudoscience, the worldview differences, and why this conversation is tearing society apart, this is the episode to watch.


    A fearless conversation at the edge of culture, medicine, and truth.

    591. The BBC Betrayed Diana: The Shocking Truth About The Bashir Scandal

    In this explosive episode of Heretics, investigative journalist Andy Webb joins us to uncover the extraordinary story behind Princess Diana, Martin Bashir, and the BBC’s most controversial interview in history.


    SPONSORS:



    Get Andy Webb's book Dianarama here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dianarama-Betrayal-Princess-Andy-Webb-ebook/dp/B0F624Q672


    Webb — whose work has forced the BBC into unprecedented scrutiny — breaks down how Bashir allegedly used forged documents, fake bank statements, and fear-driven manipulation to win Diana’s trust and secure the infamous 1995 Panorama interview.


    Were the consequences more devastating than anyone imagined? Webb explores the shocking possibility that without that interview, Diana might be alive today, living quietly as a grandmother at 64.


    We dig into the biggest unanswered questions:


    - Who was Martin Bashir—and how did he get so close to Diana and Michael Jackson?

    - How did forged bank statements open the gates of Kensington Palace?

    - What was Diana told that terrified her into believing people at the highest levels wanted her dead?

    - Why did she record what was essentially her “last will and testament”?

    - How did a bodyguard she cared about die only months after their relationship?

    - What did the BBC know—and when did they know it?

    - Why did the corporation spend over £1 million of licence fee money to stop Webb’s investigations?


    Andy Webb reveals how Diana felt duped, hoaxed, and frightened, how rumours involving Tiggy Legge-Bourke spiralled out of control, and how the BBC’s internal decisions continue to raise questions about accountability, leadership, and the culture that allowed Bashir’s behavior to go unchecked.


    If you want to understand the real story behind the Bashir scandal, the BBC cover-up, and the chain of events that reshaped the Royal Family forever, this is the episode you can't miss.

    590. The Real Reason The BBC Keeps Lying To You - Telegraph Editor Camilla Tominey

    In this new episode of Heretics, Andrew Gold speaks with Camilla Tominey about the growing public frustration with the BBC, the long-running accusations of BBC bias, and why so many viewers now feel the broadcaster has lost its sense of impartiality. From the Martin Bashir scandal and Princess Diana to the Trump documentary editing controversy, the conversation takes a detailed look at how the BBC handles political reporting, culture war issues and internal accountability.


    SPONSORS:


    Follow Camilla Tominey: https://x.com/CamillaTominey 

    Follow The Daily T Podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJnf_DDTfIVBV8Pt89mSFIFfZBPkWUoB6


    Camilla discusses how “the BBC has always acted with a degree of arrogance about the quality of its journalism” and why producers covering topics like Donald Trump, Gaza, and transgender debates often create content shaped by a strong ideological worldview. She explains how teams sometimes behave as if “if you don’t agree with me, you’re not just wrong but bad and evil”.


    Andrew and Camilla revisit the leaked internal memos that changed the conversation around BBC neutrality, and why critics argue that the organisation often reacts to scrutiny with “silence, shame and cancellation instead of reflection”.


    Some who oppose Camilla’s reporting have claimed, and these are not her words, that “this is a Telegraph right wing plot to destabilise the BBC”. The episode breaks down where these accusations come from and why they persist.


    They take a close look at the BBC Trump documentary controversy and ask whether the public reaction would have been the same if the editing had been applied to Joe Biden. Camilla suggests that instead of “crying mutiny and coup”, the broadcaster should examine the substance of what is being alleged.


    The conversation also covers gender politics and public activism. Camilla notes how she does not see right wing commentators wearing masks and shouting “out, out, out, scum, scum, scum” in the streets, while Andrew adds his own satirical “Raus!” as they explore how toxic the culture wars have become.


    This wide-ranging interview touches on BBC leadership under Tim Davie, public debate around immigration, and why many viewers privately agree with opinions they feel unable to express publicly. The discussion ends with questions about Nigel Farage, whether Tommy Robinson could ever run for office, and a humorous look at Andrew’s own baptism.


    If you are interested in media bias, political journalism, free speech, British culture wars and the future of the BBC, this is a deep dive into one of the most important debates in modern broadcasting.

    589. I'll Finally Expose The Elites Who Exploited Me - Anneke Lucas (Part 1)

    Part 2 out in a few weeks!


    Anneke Lucas breaks her silence about life inside a hidden world of power, exploitation and control. In this exclusive HERETICS conversation, she sits down with Andrew to share her experiences growing up inside an elite European network, how it operated behind closed doors, and what it takes to reclaim your mind, body and soul after extreme trauma.



    SPONSORS:



    Without going into graphic detail, Anneke explains:


    - How certain high-status circles used private estates and castles for secret gatherings

    - Why she believes she was used as a pawn in high-level blackmail operations

    - The strange “training” and psychological programming methods she was exposed to as a child

    - The way money, prestige and secrecy can protect predators for decades

    - How rumours around powerful figures create a “Jimmy Savile phenomenon” where people suspect, but no one speaks

    - Her perspective on global networks, elite clubs and meetings often discussed in connection with influence and geopolitics

    - Why she believes some public figures and celebrities may have been deeply conditioned from a young age

    - The long journey of healing, de-programming and rebuilding a real sense of self


    Throughout the interview, Andrew presses on the questions many are afraid to ask:

    How deep does this go? Who knew? How is it possible that ordinary families can become involved? What does this say about the way power really works – in Belgium, Europe and beyond?

    588. Carol McGiffin - Loose Women Hid My Backstage Fight With This TV Star

    Carol McGiffin joins Heretics for a brutally honest, no-holds-barred conversation about why she really left Loose Women and what was happening behind the scenes at one of daytime TV’s biggest shows. From explosive rows in the dressing room to being repeatedly censored by ITV, Carol explains how the atmosphere shifted as the show – and the wider industry – became more rigid, risk-averse and, in her words, “woke”.



    SPONSORS:



    We talk about the moments viewers never saw: the massive backstage bust-up before going live, the topics she was warned not to touch, and what happened when she dared to mention Trump on air. Carol opens up about being “forced out”, the pressure to conform on issues like trans debates and women’s sport, and why she believes presenters are now expected to say one thing on TV while thinking another in private.


    Beyond Loose Women, we get into her clashes with Carol Vorderman over the moon landings and climate change, what she really thinks about Piers Morgan, memories from Celebrity Big Brother, Rylan and immigration, modern feminism, Kate Garraway’s situation with Derek, and why she believes TV has lost its sense of humour and honesty. If you’ve ever suspected that mainstream TV is more scripted, controlled and performative than it looks – this episode will confirm your suspicions.


    👉 Watch to the end for Carol’s take on climate debates, Russia, “heretics” she admires, and why she thinks some opinions are now completely off-limits on British television.
