The Daily Heretic

He created Father Ted, The IT Crowd, Black Books and Brass Eye — but now Graham Linehan is known as the most cancelled man in Britain. In this explosive episode of Heretics, Andrew Gold sits down with the comedy legend to reveal how his friends, colleagues, and even fellow comedians — including Bill Bailey — turned their backs on him when he refused to stay silent on gender ideology. 👉 Subscribe to Heretics Clips for more fearless, unfiltered conversations: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos Graham Linehan has faced the full force of cancel culture. Once a household name, he’s been deplatformed, blacklisted, and vilified — not for anything he wrote in comedy, but for daring to speak out about what he calls the “medical scandal of our time”: the push to transition children under social pressure. In this gripping interview, Graham opens up about the human cost of standing up for biological reality in an industry terrified of offending the mob. He recounts the betrayal he felt when supposed allies like Bill Bailey and other comedians refused to defend him — and how that moment became a symbol of Hollywood-style hypocrisy within British entertainment. But this isn’t just a story of loss — it’s also one of defiance and redemption. Graham reveals how, after losing his marriage, his career, and his public reputation, he’s rebuilding his life with renewed purpose. He talks about why he continues to fight for free speech, women’s rights, and truth, even when it means standing completely alone. Expect raw honesty, humour, and uncomfortable truths as Andrew and Graham discuss: The shocking cowardice of the entertainment industry How cancel culture destroys art and creativity Why silence enables extremism within activism The role of J.K. Rowling and others in shifting the debate And how Graham found strength in being the last man standing This is more than a personal story — it’s a warning about what happens when comedy, truth, and courage are sacrificed for conformity. 🎧 Watch the full Heretics episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtliX5oSvGk&t=3214s #Heretics #AndrewGold #GrahamLinehan #BillBailey #CancelCulture #Comedy #FreeSpeech #GenderIdeology #TransDebate #JKRowling #CultureWars #WokeCulture #TruthPodcast #HereticsClips Learn more about your ad choices.

Subscribe to Heretics Clips for fearless, evidence-led interviews that challenge the gatekeepers: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos Is Wikipedia a neutral encyclopedia—or a narrative machine that can tilt public opinion in real time? In this explosive conversation, journalist and author Ashley Rindsberg joins Andrew Gold to examine how Wikipedia’s coverage of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial was, in his view, shaped by activist editing, policy gamesmanship, and “consensus” built by a handful of determined users. If you’ve ever trusted a Google panel or a Wikipedia summary during a breaking court case, this interview will make you rethink everything. Rindsberg lifts the lid on the platform’s hidden mechanics: talk-page pile-ons, rapid reverts, and strategic appeals to “reliable sources” and “undue weight” that can sideline inconvenient facts while elevating preferred narratives. He explains how contested details on biographies and event pages can be frozen behind bureaucratic walls, how source deprecation/whitelisting selects winners and losers in media, and why those decisions cascade into Google search results and AI training data—hard-coding a slant that outlives the news cycle. What we dig into: 👉 How Wikipedia pages shifted during the trial, and why some edits stuck while others vanished. 👉 The role of noticeboards, admins, and “procedural” arguments in policing the storyline. 👉 Why attempts to rebalance articles get labelled OR/UNDUE, and how that shapes what the public sees first. 👉 The billion-dollar ecosystem of paid editing and PR laundering that orbits the platform. 👉 Practical tools to verify before you believe: read the Talk tab, compare diffs, check source lists, and triangulate beyond Wikipedia. Andrew’s calm, forensic questioning keeps the focus on receipts, process, and accountability, not slogans. Whether you think Wikipedia is a vital public good in need of reform or a captured system in need of competition, Rindsberg’s analysis offers a rare, step-by-step map of how “the first draft of history” can be engineered—and how citizens can push back with transparency, documentation, and media literacy. If you’ve ever relied on Wikipedia or Google, you need to see this. Editorial note: This episode presents Ashley Rindsberg’s analysis and opinions for public-interest discussion.

Don’t forget to subscribe to Heretics Clips for more fearless conversations you won’t hear anywhere else: 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos Should biological men ever be housed in women’s prisons? Dr. Kate Coleman says the answer is a resounding no — and in this eye-opening interview, she explains why. As the founder of Keep Prisons Single Sex (KPSS), Coleman has dedicated her career to safeguarding women behind bars. Yet the mainstream media stays disturbingly silent, or worse, complicit, on the dangers of placing male offenders — including violent ones — into female spaces. In this explosive conversation, Dr. Coleman reveals the shocking realities the media refuses to report: Why the policy of housing men in women’s prisons is a disaster waiting to happen. The real risks to women’s safety, dignity, and rights that politicians downplay. How enhanced privacy rights for those who change gender undermine safeguarding and data collection. Why freedom of speech and the legitimate functions of the State are now under threat. The issue isn’t about ideology. It’s about common sense, risk assessment, and protection of the vulnerable. If safeguarding means anything at all, why are politicians and prison authorities ignoring biological reality in favor of political fashion? Dr. Coleman exposes the uncomfortable truths that too many are afraid to say out loud. This isn’t just about prisons. It’s about the wider cultural battle over sex, gender, and truth itself. What happens in prisons today sets a precedent for what could happen in schools, hospitals, and every public service tomorrow. If women cannot be kept safe in custody, what chance do they have elsewhere? Dr. Kate Coleman isn’t afraid to ask the tough questions — and her answers should alarm everyone who cares about justice, equality, and freedom. 📺 Watch the full podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izeeiW8FAPc What do you think — is this policy madness, or are critics overreacting?

What happens when ideology replaces common sense in British politics? In this fiery episode of Heretics, Andrew Gold dives into the chaos surrounding Jeremy Corbyn, Zack Polanski, and the growing divide between Britain’s activist Left and the rest of the country. As politics becomes more emotional, tribal, and disconnected from reality, Andrew asks: Have we finally entered the age of the “insanity vote”? 👉 Subscribe to Heretics Clips for more fearless, unfiltered conversations: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos This isn’t your typical political discussion. Andrew takes aim at how Britain’s traditional parties — Labour, the Greens, and even the Tories — have been hijacked by ideology and identity politics. From climate extremism to cancel culture to the cult of moral superiority, this episode dissects how the new political Left has alienated millions of ordinary voters who once saw it as their voice. Expect hard-hitting analysis and provocative questions: Why has Jeremy Corbyn’s movement refused to die — even after Labour disowned him? How did Zack Polanski and the Greens become symbols of middle-class radicalism detached from real working-class struggles? Why do moral outrage and performative activism now dominate the national debate? And are Britain’s “progressives” actually helping the right-wing populists they claim to hate? Andrew explores how social media, celebrity politics, and ideological echo chambers have created a generation of politicians who preach empathy but practice elitism. He unpacks how these movements, fuelled by outrage, have pushed the country further apart — and why more people than ever are losing faith in all sides of the spectrum. This episode isn’t about Left versus Right — it’s about sanity versus chaos. It asks whether the moral posturing of the political class has blinded Britain to the real problems facing its people: housing, healthcare, education, and trust. Love them or loathe them, Jeremy Corbyn and Zack Polanski embody the new era of British politics — passionate, polarising, and dangerously disconnected. 🎧 Watch the full Heretics episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEb4mOXl7_c&t=1970s #Heretics #AndrewGold #JeremyCorbyn #ZackPolanski #BritishPolitics #LabourParty #GreenParty #UKPolitics #CultureWars #IdentityPolitics #Populism #CancelCulture #FreeSpeech #LeftVsRight #PoliticalInsanity #HereticsPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Child marriage is not just history — it’s happening right now in Afghanistan. In this gripping conversation, investigative journalist Jenny Kleeman exposes the brutal reality of girls as young as eight being sold as brides for as little as $500. These aren’t isolated tragedies — they are part of an ongoing crisis that continues to devastate families and destroy lives under the shadow of poverty, patriarchy, and political collapse. 👉 Don’t miss the truth mainstream outlets won’t touch. Subscribe to Heretics Clips here: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos Jenny has been described as “a Louis Theroux channeling Margaret Atwood” — a fearless journalist who takes audiences to the darkest corners of society. Here she unpacks not only the harrowing stories from Afghanistan, but also the bigger question: what does it mean when a society puts a price tag on its children? This isn’t just about tradition — it’s about economics, survival, and power. In Afghanistan, families driven to desperation are forced to sell their daughters into marriage just to buy food. Meanwhile, the world watches. Where are the international charities? Where are the billionaires? Where is the outrage? Kleeman also challenges the philosophy of “effective altruism” championed by figures like Elon Musk and Bill Gates. If human life can be reduced to a calculation, who gets saved first? A starving child in Afghanistan — or a priceless painting in the West? The answers she reveals are as disturbing as they are thought-provoking. In this interview, expect to learn: Why child marriage in Afghanistan is still widespread and worsening. How poverty, conflict, and politics make girls the first victims. The shocking dollar value placed on children’s lives. Why the global community continues to fail Afghan women and girls. This isn’t just a story — it’s a wake-up call. Once you hear Jenny’s findings, you’ll never look at humanitarian crises the same way again. 🎥 Watch the full interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_73STiNazHs&t=708s #heretics #afghanistan #childmarriage #jennykleeman #humanrights #investigativejournalism #elonmusk #billgates #effectivealtruism Learn more about your ad choices.

She was the heart and honesty of Loose Women — until ITV pushed her out. In this explosive episode of Heretics, Andrew Gold sits down with Carol McGiffin, the outspoken broadcaster who reveals the real story behind her shocking exit from ITV’s flagship daytime show. 👉 Subscribe to Heretics Clips for more fearless, unfiltered interviews: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos For over two decades, Carol McGiffin was one of Loose Women’s most recognisable and unapologetic voices. Known for her wit, warmth, and sharp tongue, she was never afraid to speak her mind. But in 2023, she quietly disappeared from the panel — sparking rumours, speculation, and headlines. Now, for the first time, she explains exactly what happened. Carol reveals how ITV’s new contract terms made her position “untenable,” describing them as “unjust” and “unworkable.” She says she was effectively forced out of the show she helped build, choosing principle over a paycheque. But beyond the paperwork, her frustration ran deeper — with the culture of fear and political correctness that, in her view, has transformed Loose Women from a platform for honest debate into something far more cautious and corporate. In this unfiltered conversation, Carol opens up about: Why she refused to sign ITV’s new contract — and what it demanded of her How Loose Women lost its spark, humour, and honesty The growing pressure on TV personalities to censor their views How it felt to walk away from a show she loved for over 20 years And why she believes mainstream television is now terrified of real opinions This is Carol McGiffin uncensored — funny, frank, and fearless. Whether you agree with her or not, her story raises tough questions about the price of speaking freely in modern media. 🎧 Watch the full Heretics episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dnts2vFc3oM #CarolMcGiffin #LooseWomen #ITV #AndrewGold #Heretics #BritishTelevision #FreeSpeech #CancelCulture #Media #TalkShows #UKTV #HereticsClips Learn more about your ad choices.

In this jaw-dropping conversation, Dr. Philip Kiszely dives into one of the most baffling activist movements of our time: Queers for Palestine. Is this the most insane woke group ever, or just the latest example of Western progressives embracing contradictions they refuse to see? Dr. Kiszely, a respected lecturer in Performance and Cultural Histories at Leeds University, unpacks the bizarre paradox of LGBTQ+ activists aligning themselves with a cause that, in reality, would strip them of their rights — or worse. Why does this movement exist, and what does it say about the state of Western academia, political activism, and identity politics? From his work in late 20th-century British cultural and political history to his role as a Senior Fellow at the New Culture Forum, Dr. Kiszely brings intellectual depth and razor-sharp analysis to the discussion. He explains how woke ideology has created a culture where symbolism is valued above reality, and where the most radical positions are celebrated — no matter how self-destructive they may be. But here’s the question you’ll be left asking: are these activists truly standing for justice, or are they pawns in a much bigger ideological game? And why do universities and media outlets so often celebrate these contradictions instead of challenging them? This conversation isn’t just about one group. It’s about the future of free expression, liberal values, and the dangers of aligning with ideologies that silence dissent. Dr. Kiszely doesn’t hold back, and by the end you’ll understand why this issue matters far beyond campus walls. 👉 Watch until the end for Dr. Kiszely’s surprising insights into the culture wars, his warning about where woke politics is taking us, and his message to anyone tired of living under ideological conformity. 🎥 Watch the full podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLUSh3DfDK4 #israel #israelhamaswar #palestine #woke #culturewars #freeexpression #gbnews #newcultureforum #queersforpalestine Learn more about your ad choices.

Subscribe now to Heretics Clips for more uncensored conversations that the mainstream won’t touch: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos What makes secrets so hard to keep — even for spies? In this gripping conversation, former CIA officer Andrew Bustamante sits down with Andrew Gold to reveal the uncomfortable truths about secrecy, power, and the decline of Western society. From intelligence agencies hiding information from their own citizens, to political leaders twisting narratives for control, Bustamante pulls back the curtain on how governments, corporations, and even the media manipulate what we see and hear. But here’s the question: if even trained spies struggle to keep secrets, what hope does the rest of society have? This is not a Hollywood version of espionage. It’s the raw, real, and often shocking truth about: Why secrecy inside intelligence agencies often fails. How the “deep state” operates in ways most people will never know. The fragile line between protecting democracy and eroding it through propaganda. Why immigration and cultural shifts across cities like London expose cracks in the West’s stability. How nuclear tensions with Iran could reshape global security — and why the public is always the last to know. Andrew Bustamante brings an insider’s perspective you won’t find on the news. He’s not bound by the same rules anymore — and that makes his warnings all the more urgent. Are we heading toward a crisis of trust so big that no secret can ever stay hidden?
