Andrew Gold and Dr Helen Webberley clash in one of the most intense and emotionally charged debates we’ve ever hosted on Heretics. In this gripping conversation, Andrew challenges Webberley on one of the most explosive questions in today’s culture war: Is being transgender linked to mental illness? What follows is a heated back-and-forth that exposes the deep divide between clinical interpretation, gender ideology, and the reality of how young people are being treated. If you enjoy sharp, uncompromising arguments that cut through the noise, make sure you subscribe to Heretics Clips: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos

Andrew presses Webberley — the former GenderGP founder who no longer holds a licence to practise medicine in the UK — on why she refuses to acknowledge any mental-health component to gender dysphoria, despite overwhelming public concern and the Cass Review’s findings on safeguarding failures. Andrew questions how children, teens, and vulnerable adults can be properly protected if professionals deny the psychological side entirely. The debate quickly becomes heated as Webberley pushes back, arguing that gender identity should be affirmed without pathologising it, while Andrew warns that refusing to recognise mental-health realities puts patients at risk.

Throughout the conversation, Andrew confronts Webberley with difficult, uncomfortable questions:

• Why won’t she describe gender dysphoria as a mental-health condition?

• Does denying the mental component make proper clinical treatment impossible?

• Why did she face regulatory action and lose her medical licence?

• Is the trans movement encouraging vulnerable people to self-diagnose?

• What responsibility do clinicians have when patients later detransition?

The result is a tense, revealing showdown that showcases two completely different worldviews. Andrew argues that identifying as another gender — or believing one has been “born in the wrong body” — is inseparable from mental distress and should be treated with the same seriousness as any psychological condition. Webberley insists this framing is outdated and harmful. The emotional weight of this disagreement is clear throughout the debate, and the “sad” part, as many viewers will note, is how impossible it seems to reach any common ground.

This is a must-watch for anyone interested in gender medicine, mental health, safeguarding, or the contentious battles shaping modern identity politics.

Is Wikipedia a neutral encyclopedia — or a reputational weapon hiding in plain sight? In this explosive Heretics conversation, journalist and author Ashley Rindsberg joins Andrew Gold to argue that a small cadre of activist editors can blacklist conservative publications, tilt biographies, and launder bias as “consensus.” Rindsberg explains how policies about “reliable sources,” talk-page pile-ons, and administrator power can quietly redefine truth — then get amplified by Google search and AI training data that treat Wikipedia as gospel.

Inside the interview, Ashley breaks down the playbook he says drives censorship-by-process: selective citation rules, source deprecation, templated warnings that scare off newcomers, and rapid-fire reverts that make contested facts look “settled.” He shows how a few persistent editors and noticeboard regulars can shape which outlets count, which don’t, and which stories disappear. The result, he argues, is an information chokepoint where politically inconvenient reporting is downgraded, and attempts to correct the record are framed as vandalism.

👉 How are “reliable sources” lists made — and who really decides?

👉 Why do talk pages and noticeboards matter more than the article itself?

👉 What does “no original research” mean in practice — and how can it be weaponised?

👉 How do paid editing and PR laundering hide in the open?

👉 Three quick checks any reader can use to spot manipulation in minutes.

With Andrew’s calm, forensic questioning, Rindsberg walks through receipts: edit patterns, sourcing swaps, and the incentives of a billion-dollar ecosystem around Wikipedia — from PR firms to reputation managers. He warns that once bias enters the encyclopedia, it propagates everywhere: search rankings, knowledge panels, classroom handouts, and now the large language models that will shape civic life. Whether you trust Wikipedia or view it as captured, this conversation gives you a toolkit to verify before you believe.

Investigative journalist Andy Webb joins Andrew Gold to reveal the shocking truth behind how Martin Bashir fooled Charles Spencer — a deception that ultimately led to Princess Diana’s most explosive interview and changed the course of her life forever. Webb has spent years uncovering the full story behind Bashir’s tactics, the forged documents, and the manipulation that opened the door to one of the most controversial moments in royal and media history. If you want more fearless investigations like this, make sure you subscribe to Heretics Clips: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos

In this gripping clip, Andy Webb breaks down exactly how Martin Bashir won over Earl Spencer, gaining access to Princess Diana through a series of calculated moves that included fake bank statements, fabricated threats, and relentless pressure. Webb explains how these tactics created a false sense of danger around Diana — and how that fear was used to convince her to sit down for the infamous Panorama interview.

But how did Bashir persuade Charles Spencer? And why did the BBC fail to stop him, even when questions were raised years later? Webb lays out the whole sequence: the initial approach, the key conversations, the forged documents that fooled Spencer into believing Diana’s inner circle was spying on her, and the emotional leverage that led the princess to trust Bashir during one of the most vulnerable periods of her life.

Webb also exposes how the BBC handled the fallout — from internal cover-ups to delayed investigations and decades of silence. According to Webb, the deception didn’t just damage Diana; it eroded trust in British journalism and set off a chain reaction that the BBC is still trying to recover from.

What exactly did Bashir show Charles Spencer? Why did Spencer believe him? And how would Diana’s life — and the monarchy — have been different if this meeting had never happened? These are the questions Andy Webb answers with extraordinary detail, based on years of digging, testimony, and evidence the public rarely sees.

If you’ve ever wondered how the most famous royal interview in history was engineered through manipulation, forgery, and fear, this conversation reveals the truth behind the scandal that shook Britain — and the deception that fooled a brother, betrayed a princess, and changed everything.

In this gripping and unfiltered interview, esteemed royal commentator Camilla Tominey joins Andrew Gold to break down the truth behind Prince Harry and Meghan Markle — the most litigious couple in modern royal history. Camilla exposes the growing list of legal threats, lawsuits, media battles and behind-the-scenes confrontations the Sussexes have launched since stepping back from royal life — and reveals why their aggressive legal strategy has left even seasoned journalists stunned.

Camilla explains how Harry and Meghan have transformed litigation into a core part of their public identity, taking on newspapers, broadcasters, biographers, paparazzi agencies and even former staff. She details the tactics, the patterns, and the outcomes of these battles — and how the couple’s approach has reshaped relations between the media and the monarchy.

In this explosive conversation, Camilla and Andrew explore:

Why Harry and Meghan sue so often — and what they’re trying to protect

How their legal fights began long before “Megxit”

The media outlets they’ve targeted — and why

What royal insiders think of their aggressive legal stance

How litigation has damaged relationships inside the Palace

Why Camilla believes the couple’s legal offensive is far from over

Camilla also shares what journalists experience behind the scenes when reporting on the Sussexes — including legal letters, restrictions, accusations of misinformation and attempts to control the narrative. She argues that Harry and Meghan’s approach to media relations is unlike anything the Royal Family has ever seen, and she explains how this shift has created unprecedented tension between the monarchy and the press.

This conversation dives into the heart of the Sussex brand: privacy battles, reputation management and their ongoing war with the UK media. Whether you support Harry and Meghan or feel alienated by their decisions, Camilla’s insights offer a rare, balanced but unflinching look at why the couple’s litigious reputation has become impossible to ignore.

If you want to understand why the Sussexes keep ending up in court — and what their legal crusade means for the future of the Royal Family — this interview is essential viewing.

Why won’t wealthy Middle Eastern nations — Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE — open their doors to Syrian refugees? In this fiery conversation, Polish MEP Dominik Tarczyński joins Andrew Gold on Heretics to reveal the uncomfortable truth about the refugee crisis — and why, in his view, Europe has paid the price for mistakes made by others.

Tarczyński, famous for declaring that Poland would not take “even one illegal migrant,” argues that while Western countries have been shamed into mass immigration, Islamic nations have quietly shut their borders. Why? He claims it’s not about resources or compassion — it’s about power, ideology, and control.

👉 Why do Middle Eastern nations refuse to resettle Syrian refugees, despite shared religion and culture?

👉 Is Europe being manipulated into cultural and demographic change?

👉 And what secret political motives lie behind the refugee deals between the EU and Islamic states?

Tarczyński’s blunt, unapologetic stance has earned him both admiration and outrage. In this interview, he explains how Poland resisted EU pressure, why multiculturalism has failed in countries like Sweden and Germany, and what lessons Britain must learn before it’s too late.

He also tackles explosive topics: the rise of radical Islam in Europe, accusations of racism against Poland, and the hypocrisy of Western leaders who preach open borders while living behind gates and guards. His message is clear — Europe’s survival depends on moral courage and border control, not empty virtue-signalling.

Whether you agree with him or find his views deeply provocative, Dominik Tarczyński’s words will make you rethink what you’ve been told about the refugee crisis, the Middle East, and Europe’s future.

What happens when a veteran detective says the system is policing itself — and protecting itself? In this gripping interview, former Scotland Yard officer and whistleblower Jon Wedger sits down with Andrew Gold to detail his claims about Freemasonry’s influence inside UK policing and the culture of silence, cronyism, and retaliation he says he encountered when he tried to raise the alarm. Focusing squarely on Wedger’s testimony, this conversation explores how informal networks can shape careers, block investigations, and punish dissent.

👉 How, according to Wedger, do Masonic ties and internal loyalties distort decision-making?

👉 What happens to detectives who challenge powerful colleagues or uncover inconvenient truths?

👉 Which operational blind spots — from evidence handling to oversight — make it easy to bury cases and hard to protect whistleblowers?

Wedger walks us through the mechanics of pressure and pushback: sudden reassignments, reputational smears, and the chilling effect that keeps good officers quiet. He explains why he believes transparency, independent auditing, and whistleblower protections are non-negotiable if the public is to trust the badge. Andrew presses for specifics — paper trails, procedures, and practical reforms — while keeping the focus on evidence, process, and accountability rather than personalities.

You’ll hear why Wedger thinks departmental careerism and fear of embarrassment can trump public interest, how investigators are discouraged from “joining the dots,” and why some lines of inquiry stall without explanation. Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, this is a rare, first-hand account that raises urgent questions about governance, ethics, and the duty of care inside British policing.

If you care about the integrity of institutions — and the people brave enough to challenge them — don’t miss this episode.

In this gripping Heretics Clips episode, legendary journalist Roy Greenslade pulls back the curtain on one of the most intimidating, manipulative, and controversial figures in modern media history: Robert Maxwell. Long before the scandals, the lawsuits, and the shocking revelations that followed his death, insiders in British journalism whispered about the sheer force of Maxwell’s personality. But few people can describe it with the authority—and the candour—that Greenslade brings to this conversation.

Across this powerful and tightly focused discussion, Greenslade exposes the darker side of Maxwell’s reign over the Mirror Group. How did Maxwell control his empire so ruthlessly? What tactics did he use to keep editors, executives, and reporters in line? And why did so many people feel unable to challenge him, even as red flags multiplied? Greenslade reveals the oppressive atmosphere inside Maxwell’s newsrooms and the fear that permeated every level of his organisation.

But the most striking insights come when Greenslade describes Maxwell’s methods. How did Maxwell maintain his grip over the press? Why were certain stories buried? And how did his volatile leadership style affect the integrity of the journalism produced under him? As Andrew Gold probes deeper, Greenslade offers rare firsthand accounts that shed new light on the psychological manipulation, intimidation, and ethical corrosion that characterised Maxwell’s rule.

This episode digs into the contradictions that defined Maxwell: the public tycoon with global ambitions, and the private figure whose behaviour left lasting scars across the media landscape. Greenslade walks viewers through key moments that revealed Maxwell’s capacity for cruelty, control, and unchecked power—moments that journalists who lived through them have never forgotten.

Stay to the end for Greenslade’s most unfiltered reflections on how Maxwell’s legacy still shapes British journalism today, and why understanding his reign is essential to understanding the vulnerabilities of media institutions.

If you're fascinated by media power, journalistic ethics, or the untold stories of Britain’s most notorious press barons, this conversation delivers insight you won’t find anywhere else.

Ray Kelvin, the elusive and controversial founder of Ted Baker, finally breaks his silence on the #MeToo-era scandal that pushed him out of his own company and sent the fashion giant into a downward spiral. In this gripping and often surprising conversation with Andrew Gold, Kelvin gives his side of the story — revealing how one of Britain’s most iconic brands became engulfed in allegations, investigations and media outrage. If you enjoy explosive interviews with major public figures, make sure you subscribe to Heretics Clips: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos

This interview dives deep into the scandal that dominated headlines: the accusations surrounding Ted Baker’s workplace culture, the internal complaints that triggered an independent review, and the media storm that followed. Kelvin explains how the situation unfolded from his perspective, why he believes the narrative became distorted, and what he thinks the public never understood about the culture inside Ted Baker during its meteoric rise.

For the first time, Kelvin discusses the atmosphere leading up to the allegations, the behaviour that critics labelled inappropriate, and the internal company tensions that escalated behind the scenes. He opens up about the emotional toll of being publicly accused, the pressure from the board, and the moment he realised the story had grown too big to control. Andrew pushes him on the key questions: What really happened? Did the #MeToo movement change the lens through which his behaviour was judged? And did the scandal directly contribute to the collapse of Ted Baker’s once-glittering reputation?

Beyond the controversy, Kelvin reflects on the extraordinary rise of Ted Baker — from a quirky menswear idea to a billion-pound fashion powerhouse. He describes his creative style, the culture he tried to build, and the challenges of leading a brand that became famous for its bold identity and eccentric edge. Kelvin also reveals how the fallout reshaped his life: the regrets, the lessons, and the unanswered questions he believes the public deserves to hear.

This is the most candid and detailed account Ray Kelvin has ever given about the scandal that changed everything. Whether you see him as a flawed leader, a misunderstood creative, or a casualty of a cultural shift, this interview offers the inside story you’ve never heard.

In this powerful and highly provocative interview, Camilla Tominey joins Andrew Gold to break down one of the most controversial questions in British politics today: Should Tommy Robinson run for public office — and why do so many people think he has to? Camilla, one of the UK’s most fearless political journalists, explores the growing sentiment among sections of the public that Robinson’s influence, following and political clarity mean he should enter formal politics rather than stay on the sidelines.

Camilla examines the cultural shift that has made Robinson’s ideas more mainstream than ever, even among those who wouldn’t publicly admit it. She argues that his supporters feel unrepresented by the political class — and believe that Robinson entering politics would force the establishment to confront topics they’ve long tried to avoid.

In this gripping conversation, Camilla and Andrew explore:

Why some believe Tommy Robinson MUST run for office

How his messaging resonates with voters who feel politically abandoned

Why traditional parties fear his potential electoral impact

What a Robinson campaign would expose about class, culture and national identity

How immigration, grooming scandals and free speech issues have reshaped public opinion

Why opponents worry Robinson could win more support than expected

Camilla also breaks down the political calculus behind the idea. She explains how Robinson has built a loyal grassroots audience outside mainstream media, why his direct communication strategy is so effective, and how entering politics could give him legitimacy — or, alternatively, destroy his influence overnight. She also explores the risks: the backlash, the scrutiny, and the institutional resistance any Robinson campaign would face.

This interview goes beyond the personality and digs into the bigger political moment Britain is living through: a country divided between those who believe the establishment has failed — and those terrified of what a populist outsider could do if given real power. Camilla explains why Robinson’s name keeps coming up in political circles, why the idea alarms many journalists, and why others think the conversation has barely begun.

Whether you support Tommy Robinson, oppose him, or simply want to understand why his political relevance keeps increasing, this interview delivers the context and insight the mainstream avoids.

Investigative journalist Andy Webb joins Andrew Gold to expose how Martin Bashir’s reporting helped destroy Michael Jackson’s life — and why the truth about Bashir’s tactics has only recently begun to surface. Webb has spent years uncovering the darker side of Bashir’s journalism, and in this explosive conversation he reveals how the same deceptive methods used in the Princess Diana scandal were also deployed against the world’s biggest pop star. If you enjoy fearless breakdowns like this, make sure you subscribe to Heretics Clips: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos

In this gripping clip, Andy Webb walks through how Bashir earned Michael Jackson’s trust, how he gained unprecedented access, and how that access was later weaponised in a way that Jackson never saw coming. Webb explains how the resulting documentary reshaped the public’s perception of Jackson overnight, opening the door to years of scrutiny, accusations, and global media hostility that the singer struggled to escape.

But how much of what viewers saw was manipulated? And did Michael Jackson truly understand the type of journalist he was dealing with? Andy Webb breaks down the behind-the-scenes negotiations, the promises that were allegedly made, and the moments that never made it to air — moments that, according to Webb, reveal an entirely different picture of Jackson’s intentions and Bashir’s agenda.

He also explains how Bashir’s portrayal of Jackson triggered an avalanche of consequences: raids, investigations, courtroom battles, relentless media pressure, and a dramatic collapse in Jackson’s health, career, and mental well-being. Webb argues that Bashir’s framing didn’t just damage Jackson’s reputation — it changed the trajectory of his life.

What were Bashir’s motives? Why were his tactics not exposed sooner? And how did one documentary help shape a narrative that Jackson would spend the rest of his life fighting? Webb answers these questions with forensic detail, showing the parallels between Bashir’s earlier actions and the patterns that re-emerged during his work with Jackson.

If you’ve ever wondered what really happened behind the documentary that turned the world against Michael Jackson — and the role Martin Bashir played in that downfall — this conversation provides the clearest explanation yet.
