What does Tommy Robinson really think about Andrew Tate’s conversion to Islam — and why does he believe it’s more than just a publicity stunt? In this explosive Heretics Clips episode, broadcaster Alex Phillips joins Andrew Gold to unpack the surprising crossover between two of the most controversial figures in Britain’s culture wars.

Tommy Robinson’s perspective on Andrew Tate’s so-called “conversion” goes far beyond religion — it’s about masculinity, identity, and the power vacuum left by a weak and divided West. He claims that Tate’s decision speaks to a much deeper frustration among young men, who are turning to more authoritarian belief systems because modern liberalism no longer offers meaning or strength.

Alex Phillips challenges him on whether this signals a cultural crisis — or simply the rise of new role models filling a moral void. The discussion dives into:

Why figures like Andrew Tate attract massive followings among disillusioned young men.

The role Islam plays in offering structure and identity in a post-Christian society.

Whether the West’s obsession with “wokeness” has eroded moral authority.

Tommy Robinson’s fears about Britain’s cultural direction and what comes next.

This is a gripping and often uncomfortable conversation about faith, power, and rebellion — featuring two outspoken voices who refuse to play by the rules. Whatever your view, you’ll come away questioning how ideology, masculinity, and religion are shaping a generation.

Anneke Lucas sits down with Andrew Gold for one of the most unsettling and thought-provoking conversations ever featured on Heretics. In this clip, she explores the disturbing question circulating online: Were certain young celebrities groomed, shaped, or psychologically programmed by powerful industry figures? Some online conspiracy communities even point to global icons like Justin Bieber — but what does Anneke actually believe, and why does this idea have such a hold on the public imagination?

If you enjoy deep-dive discussions that challenge official narratives, subscribe to Heretics Clips: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos

In this interview, Anneke Lucas draws on her own traumatic upbringing inside what she describes as a violent network of influential adults. She discusses how these experiences shaped her understanding of power, manipulation, and the way vulnerable young people can be pulled into environments they are too young to understand or escape. Rather than speculating about any one celebrity, she explains the broader psychological dynamics that create fertile ground for exploitation — in politics, in media, and especially in the entertainment world.

Andrew asks Anneke why so many people believe that young stars are “programmed” or controlled by unseen forces. Is this a reflection of genuine patterns of exploitation in the entertainment industry? Or is it a cultural reaction to fame, wealth, and the pressures placed on child performers? Anneke breaks down how trauma bonds are formed, how predators operate, and why survivor testimony — even decades later — continues to expose uncomfortable truths about systems of power.

Crucially, Anneke stresses that the fascination with celebrity grooming often distracts from the real issue: vulnerable children all over the world remain at risk because of systemic failures, denial, and lack of accountability. Her insights offer a rare mix of lived experience, emotional intelligence and psychological depth. This conversation is confronting, compassionate, and deeply human.

Why do these theories persist? What patterns of behaviour have survivors reported again and again? And what should the public understand about coercion, power, and the unseen pressures young performers face? Anneke’s answers are raw, grounded, and eye-opening.

Has the Premier League swapped football for corporate activism? In this hard-hitting Heretics conversation, journalist and author Ashley Rindsberg joins Andrew Gold to argue that England’s top flight has become a branding battlefield—where politics, PR and sponsorship power shape what fans see, hear and even cheer. Rindsberg dissects how slogans, virtue-signalling campaigns and selective outrage can turn matchday into messaging, while ticket prices soar and fan voices are sidelined.

Inside the episode, Ashley unpacks:

👉 How club ownership, broadcast partners and major sponsors influence narratives on and off the pitch

👉 Why leagues embrace “woke” marketing—and how ESG/brand safety frameworks drive editorial choices

👉 The chilling effect on players, managers and pundits who step outside the approved script

👉 What counts as “awareness” vs. politicisation—and where fans draw the line

👉 The data loop: media coverage → social trends → league policy → fan compliance

Rindsberg explains the mechanics behind modern sports messaging: centralized talking points, PR playbooks, and reputational risk rules that make some causes compulsory—and others untouchable. He explores how controversies are framed, how broadcast graphics and studio debates reinforce a single storyline, and why dissenting voices get labelled “bad for the brand.” Andrew’s calm, forensic style presses for specifics: case studies, incentives, and practical reforms that might return the game to fans—greater transparency, viewpoint diversity in studios, and a clear separation between football and political campaigning.

Whether you welcome social causes in sport or want the game left alone, this interview will sharpen how you watch: Who benefits? Who sets the rules? And what happens when supporters refuse the script? If you love the Premier League but suspect the culture around it has changed, you won’t want to miss this.

Investigative journalist Andy Webb joins Andrew Gold to reveal the heartbreaking truth behind Charles Spencer’s warning that the infamous Panorama interview was “lethal” for Princess Diana — a moment that shattered her trust, filled her with fear, and set off a devastating chain of events. Webb has spent years uncovering how Martin Bashir and the BBC hid crucial, disturbing information from Diana, leaving her isolated, terrified and convinced powerful forces wanted her dead. If you want more fearless investigations like this, make sure you subscribe to Heretics Clips: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos

In this emotional and explosive clip, Andy Webb explains exactly how Bashir manipulated Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, into believing she was surrounded by spies, betrayals and threats — using forged bank statements, fabricated allegations and chilling claims designed to frighten Diana into giving the interview. According to Webb, the BBC knew these methods were unethical, yet failed to stop the deception or tell Diana the truth.

Webb breaks down how this manipulation was more than a journalistic failure — it was psychologically catastrophic. Diana was already vulnerable, already juggling immense pressure, and already struggling with deep loneliness inside the royal household. Bashir’s lies pushed those fears into overdrive, convincing her that she was being monitored, plotted against and potentially targeted.

Charles Spencer has said the interview was “lethal,” and Webb explains why: once Diana accepted Bashir’s fabricated threats as real, her worldview changed. She began to distrust everyone around her — friends, staff, security officers, even members of her own family. Webb reveals how this paranoia influenced Diana’s decisions, her relationships and the emotional turmoil of her final months.

But the darkest part of this story is the BBC’s response. Webb exposes how the corporation concealed Bashir’s forged documents, ignored warnings from insiders, and allowed the lie to continue shaping Diana’s mindset long after the interview aired. The BBC hid critical information that may have helped Diana understand she had been manipulated — and according to Webb, that concealment had tragic consequences.

Why did the BBC bury the evidence? How much did they know about Bashir’s tactics? And how did one fabricated narrative push Diana closer to fear, isolation and the events that ultimately shaped her fate? Andy Webb answers these questions with powerful clarity.

If you want to understand why Charles Spencer believes the interview changed Diana’s life — and not for the better — this conversation reveals the devastating truth.

Human rights lawyer Clive Stafford-Smith has spent decades defending society’s most hated — from death row inmates to alleged terrorists. But in this fiery conversation, he turns his attention to British politics… and his verdict on Keir Starmer might surprise you.

Clive argues that even Labour voters find Starmer uninspiring, accusing the Labour leader of lacking passion, conviction and vision. It’s not a hit job from the right — it’s a critique from within the Left itself.

So why do so many people who once believed in Labour now say Starmer’s become part of the establishment? Has he played it too safe, too managerial, too beige? And does Britain need a leader with moral fire — or just a technocrat who plays by the rules?

Expect uncomfortable truths, sharp humour and a rare insight into how Britain’s so-called “progressives” really see their own leader. This isn’t a political rant — it’s a clash of ideals between someone who’s fought for human rights around the world, and a host unafraid to ask why the modern Left has lost its soul.

Clive Stafford-Smith’s honesty cuts through the noise. Love him or hate him, his perspective forces you to question not just Starmer’s leadership — but the state of British politics itself.

💬 Tell us in the comments — do you agree with Clive that Starmer is boring? Or is he exactly what Britain needs right now?

What if the greatest threats to the West aren’t coming from inside — but from Iran and China, powers rising on the global stage while Western leaders look the other way? In this explosive Heretics interview, former CIA officer Andrew Bustamante exposes the hidden dangers that most politicians and media figures refuse to confront.

As an ex-CIA spy, Bustamante has seen the world from the inside out. Here, he lifts the lid on the nuclear ambitions of Iran and the stealth power plays of China. These aren’t distant geopolitical issues — they’re existential threats that could reshape the balance of global power and leave the West dangerously exposed.

🔥 In this interview, Bustamante reveals:

Why Iran’s nuclear programme could trigger global chaos.

How China is waging silent war through economics, technology, and surveillance.

Why Western democracies are unprepared for the coming storm.

The chilling ways propaganda and misinformation are being used to keep people distracted.

This isn’t the polished, politically correct narrative you hear on TV. It’s the unfiltered truth from someone who worked inside the CIA and saw first-hand how fragile global security really is. Bustamante explains why leaders downplay the risks — and how ordinary people could be blindsided by the next international crisis.

From nuclear hellfire with Iran to China’s rise as a surveillance superpower, Bustamante connects the dots between foreign threats, domestic decline, and the weakening of Western democracy. For viewers who want to understand what’s really happening beneath the headlines, this interview is a wake-up call.

In this shocking and unfiltered conversation, Andrew Gold sits down with true-crime investigator and broadcaster Shaun Attwood to expose how the BBC helped normalise Jimmy Savile’s abuse for decades — and why no one inside the organisation stopped him. Shaun breaks down the institutional failures, the culture of silence, and the media protection that allowed one of Britain’s most prolific predators to operate in plain sight. 👉 Subscribe to Heretics Clips for more fearless interviews: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos

Shaun explains the disturbing patterns that were visible long before Savile’s crimes were publicly acknowledged — the rumours, the backstage behaviour, the open secrets — and how a mixture of celebrity worship, managerial cowardice and organisational denial enabled Savile to move unchecked through hospitals, children’s homes and TV studios.

We also explore how powerful institutions can become compromised by fame, influence and fear of scandal. Why did BBC staff look the other way? Who protected Savile from consequences? And why were whistleblowers ignored again and again? Shaun reveals the mechanisms of institutional grooming and explains how predators exploit organisations just as much as they exploit victims.

Expect a gripping deep-dive into:

• How Savile infiltrated the BBC and built a public persona that masked his crimes

• The internal culture that allowed complaints to be buried

• Why celebrity status created a shield no one dared challenge

• How vulnerable young people were put at risk through systemic negligence

• The psychological tactics predators use to manipulate organisations

• What the Savile scandal reveals about media power, corruption and accountability

• Why similar patterns still exist today — and how to recognise them

Shaun also discusses the broader implications: how Britain’s institutions repeatedly fail victims, why inquiries often fall short, and how public trust collapses when the truth finally emerges. This conversation isn’t just about Savile — it’s about understanding how abuse becomes institutionalised, and why no society is immune to these failures.

If you’re interested in true crime, media ethics, institutional corruption or the hidden mechanisms that protect powerful offenders, this is essential viewing.

What does a former VICE officer see that the public never does? In this uncompromising Heretics interview, ex-Scotland Yard detective and whistleblower Jon Wedger sits down with Andrew Gold to unpack his frontline experience investigating UK CH*LD exploitation and street-level prostitution—and the institutional obstacles he says block justice. Wedger explains how covert operations unfold, where safeguarding breaks down, and why speaking out cost him dearly. This isn’t sensationalism; it’s a rare procedural look from someone who says he has lived it.

Inside, Jon shares:

👉 How VICE investigations actually work—intel flows, evidence chains and sting logistics

👉 Why multi-agency silos and under-resourced teams create blind spots predators exploit

👉 The warning signs communities should know, and how bystanders can safely help

👉 What happens to whistleblowers—reassignments, reputational smears, and pressure to “stand down”, in his words

Andrew keeps the focus squarely on Jon’s testimony, pressing for specifics—paper trails, timelines, and fixes that might work in the real world: better data-sharing, independent oversight, victim-first safeguarding, and meaningful protections for officers who raise concerns. Wedger outlines months in which he says he identified dozens of suspects, only to watch progress stall without clear explanation. He argues that a culture of careerism, reputational fear, and informal networks can outweigh the public interest unless challenged.

This is among our most urgent and uncomfortable episodes—precise, procedural, and relentlessly focused on accountability. Whether you’re a parent, policymaker, or citizen who cares about safeguarding, you’ll come away with a clearer picture of how these cases do—and too often do not—move from tip-off to prosecution. Claims discussed are presented as Jon Wedger’s allegations; viewers can assess the evidence and decide for themselves.

In this gripping Heretics Clips episode, veteran journalist Roy Greenslade reveals the shocking origins of the alleged Prince Harry drugs scandal—plus the extraordinary lengths the Palace and British media may have gone to in order to bury, distort or control the narrative. If you think you know the full story, think again. Greenslade’s insider knowledge exposes a side of royal reporting the public rarely gets to see, raising uncomfortable questions about power, influence and who really controls the headlines in Britain.

Drawing from decades at the top of UK journalism, Greenslade breaks down how stories involving senior royals like Prince Harry are shaped, suppressed or spun before they ever reach the public. He explains the hidden machinery behind Palace–press negotiations, why certain scandals erupt while others mysteriously disappear, and how tabloid culture created the perfect environment for manipulation. As he and Andrew Gold dig deeper, new layers of the Prince Harry drug allegations begin to unravel—revealing a web of pressure, PR strategy and behind-the-scenes deals that blurred the line between truth and damage control.

This conversation isn’t just about what did happen, but what the public was never meant to find out. Greenslade’s perspective exposes the ethical pitfalls, conflicts of interest and quiet compromises that shaped royal coverage for decades. How many stories were spiked? Who decided what became front-page news? And why did certain allegations involving Prince Harry seemingly fade into silence?

Stay to the end for Greenslade’s most candid insights yet—challenging the myths surrounding royal transparency and revealing why stories involving the monarchy continue to ignite controversy even years later. If you're fascinated by the intersection of power, secrecy and the British press, this is an essential watch.

In this explosive Heretics Clips debate, Andrew Gold and Tilly Middlehurst dive into one of the most divisive flashpoints in British politics: why parts of the modern Left completely misread the Tommy Robinson phenomenon — and what that misunderstanding reveals about today’s culture war. Rather than defending Robinson, Tilly examines the discourse around him and argues that the “woke Left” often misunderstands why he attracts attention, how his supporters interpret the political landscape, and what deeper anxieties fuel the conversation.

Tilly, a Cambridge student who has faced intense online backlash for her own political commentary, explains how many young progressives are taught to treat figures like Robinson as taboo — shutting down any attempt to analyse the sociological, economic or psychological forces that keep his name in public debate. She argues that this refusal to understand only strengthens polarisation and blinds people to the real issues driving discontent.

Andrew pushes hard:

What exactly does the Left get wrong?

Why do certain narratives around Robinson backfire?

And how do online moral panics distort nuanced political analysis?

Tilly breaks down why some progressives oversimplify the motivations of working-class communities, how ideological bubbles at elite universities shape perceptions of the “other side,” and why dismissing uncomfortable conversations often fuels resentment rather than resolving it. The debate becomes a broader interrogation of activism, identity politics and the emotional architecture of outrage.

This episode stays tightly focused on the debate itself — unpacking media narratives, political psychology and the cultural fractures that shape public reactions to controversial figures. No praise, no platforming — just a rigorous, challenging conversation about why certain segments of the Left struggle to engage honestly with the topics Robinson represents in national discourse.

If you’re tired of knee-jerk reactions, predictable outrage and echo-chamber thinking, this is one of the most revealing culture-war discussions you’ll watch all year.
