Methods, targets and the lure of shoplifting

Once a heroin addict and serial shoplifter who stole over £10 million worth of goods, Cullan Mais has turned his life around — only to be cancelled for daring to interview Tommy Robinson. In this explosive Heretics interview, Andrew Gold digs into Cullan’s raw journey from 12 prison sentences, collapsed lungs, and multiple rehabs to finding redemption, purpose, and controversy in a woke-obsessed Britain.

💬 “I started heroin at 18 — and it was a tragedy.”

💬 “I stole over £10 million in retail value.”

💬 “They asked me: Are you homophobic?”

💬 “They sent me on Far-Right extremist training — just for talking to Tommy Robinson.”

This episode of Heretics goes deep into addiction, recovery, censorship, and what happens when society punishes people for redemption.

- Heroin, weed, paranoia, and recovery

- Shoplifting £10 million in goods
