The Daily Heretic

Andrew Gold sits down with Dr Helen Webberley for one of the most heated and provocative conversations ever featured on Heretics. In this explosive debate, Andrew challenges Webberley on the core question dividing the modern gender movement: is transgender ideology progressive — or is it rooted in mental distress that’s being misdiagnosed as identity? If you enjoy bold, unfiltered discussions that push back against mainstream narratives, make sure you subscribe to Heretics Clips: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos In this gripping exchange, Andrew confronts Dr Webberley — the controversial founder of GenderGP — on her beliefs about childhood transition, gender identity, medical pathways, and what she describes as the “affirmation model.” The conversation quickly becomes intense as Andrew questions whether transitioning is always the compassionate option, or whether it risks overlooking the underlying mental health issues so many people face. Webberley defends her clinical experience and argues that gender-affirming care saves lives, while Andrew presses her on rapid-onset dysphoria, detransitioners, puberty blockers, irreversible interventions and the growing list of clinicians who now say the system has gone too far. The debate cuts to the heart of the culture war: what is compassion, what is harm, and who gets to decide? This episode digs deep into the definitions of gender, identity and “progressivism,” with Andrew challenging whether the modern trans movement has become a form of ideology that discourages open discussion. Webberley pushes back, insisting that critics misunderstand trans people and misrepresent the science — while Andrew argues that real science requires scrutiny, not censorship. Expect sharp exchanges, uncomfortable questions and moments of real tension as the two clash over medicine, ethics and the limits of social tolerance. Whether you support the affirmation model, oppose medical transition for minors, or simply want to understand the debate without the noise of social media, this conversation offers rare clarity. Both Andrew and Webberley articulate strong, opposing worldviews — creating a discussion that is challenging, emotional and impossible to ignore. 🔥 Watch the full podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Lh8SVtqpQI #TransDebate #GenderGP #HelenWebberley #AndrewGold #Heretics #CultureWar #Transitioning #Detransition #GenderIdentity #Debate Learn more about your ad choices.

In this gripping Heretics Clips episode, veteran journalist Roy Greenslade addresses one of the most controversial chapters of his career — the period in which his past writings and comments regarding the IRA ignited a fierce public backlash. For years, Greenslade was known as one of Britain’s most influential media commentators, but revelations about his views triggered intense debate about journalistic ethics, political transparency and the responsibilities of those shaping public discourse. In this conversation, Greenslade speaks with Andrew Gold about the context behind the statements that later caused such uproar. How did his perspective develop? What was he attempting to communicate at the time? And why did the reaction from the public and the press become so explosive? Greenslade offers rare insight into the pressures, conflicts and moral complexities that surrounded both the Northern Ireland conflict and the media landscape covering it. As Andrew Gold probes deeper, Greenslade reflects on the line between personal belief and professional duty — a line that many argue must remain absolutely clear. Should journalists declare their political positions? How does undisclosed ideology shape reporting? And what happens when private views collide with public roles? This episode also explores the wider repercussions of Greenslade’s past comments: the impact on his reputation, the debates about impartiality they reignited, and the uncomfortable questions they raised about the British media’s handling of the Troubles. Rather than sensationalism, the discussion offers context, introspection and critical analysis — creating a fuller picture of a controversy that continues to provoke discussion. Stay to the end for Greenslade’s candid reflections on regret, responsibility and what he believes the public should take away from the fallout. For viewers interested in media ethics, political journalism or the forces that shape public trust, this episode provides a rare level of honesty and depth. 📺 Watch the full podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H09M0H5rmoo #RoyGreenslade #HereticsClips #BritishMedia #AndrewGold #UKJournalism #MediaEthics #NorthernIreland #JournalismControversy Learn more about your ad choices.

At the centre of it all is Connie Shaw, a former Leeds Student Radio presenter, who found herself accused of “bringing the station into disrepute” simply for interviewing comedy writer Graham Linehan — a man blacklisted by woke academia for questioning gender ideology. What followed was nothing short of a nightmare. Connie was dragged through a disciplinary process that felt more like a Stalinist show trial than a British university. She was banned from campus, subjected to re-education style demands, and treated as a pariah by lecturers and fellow students. 👉 Watch the full podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeLnRAhlb6M In this powerful conversation, Connie reveals: The most shocking question she faced during her disciplinary. How gender ideology has captured UK universities, from “gender expression funds” for binders and tuckers to professors policing thought and speech. The devastating social ostracism she endured, including friends warned not to be seen with her. How the Free Speech Union, led by Toby Young, stepped in at her darkest moment — and why she says they literally saved her life. But Connie’s ordeal is bigger than her personal story. It highlights how cancel culture, institutional capture, and ideological conformity are threatening the very foundations of open debate in Britain’s universities. When a student can be silenced and punished simply for talking to the “wrong” person, what does that say about the state of academic freedom? 👉 Stay tuned until the end for Connie’s surprising inspirations, her future plans, and her rallying cry to anyone who values free speech and refuses to be silenced. This is not just about one student. It’s about whether free expression still has a place in modern Britain. #ConnieShaw #FreeSpeechUnion #LeedsUniversity #GrahamLinehan #CancelCulture #AcademicFreedom #Woke Learn more about your ad choices.

Anneke Lucas joins Andrew Gold on Heretics for one of the most disturbing and eye-opening conversations we have ever hosted — a deep dive into her harrowing childhood experiences inside what she describes as an elite European network that exploited vulnerable children behind closed doors. Before we begin, make sure you subscribe to Heretics Clips for more investigations and powerful interviews: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos In this gripping interview, Anneke recounts the hidden world she says she was pulled into as a young girl — a world involving powerful individuals whose public reputations often masked unimaginable cruelty. Without sensationalising or showing graphic detail, Anneke explains the psychological manipulation, the secrecy, and the systematic grooming that kept children silent and the network protected. Her bravery in speaking out provides a rare, human perspective on an otherwise inaccessible world — and raises uncomfortable questions about how far influence and power can go when no one is watching. Andrew asks Anneke to break down the structures that allowed this alleged network to exist, how certain high-status individuals were able to operate with impunity, and why so many victims feel unable to come forward. Anneke also explores the emotional aftermath: the trauma, the decades-long recovery process, and how she rebuilt her life after surviving what she describes as organised abuse carried out by the elite of Belgian society. This conversation is not only about the past — it’s about the present-day systems that fail children, the psychological tactics used by abusers, and the societal blind spots that allow harmful behaviour to continue unchecked. Anneke shares the red flags the public often misses, the mechanisms that shield offenders, and why it is so difficult for survivors to be believed when their stories implicate highly influential people. Despite the darkness of her experiences, Anneke’s message is ultimately one of resilience. She discusses the therapeutic tools that helped her heal, the importance of giving survivors a voice, and her belief that transparency and awareness are the only ways to prevent future exploitation. 🔥 Watch the full, unfiltered conversation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wc4AcaKw-4 #AnnekeLucas #SurvivorStories #ElitePower #Heretics #AndrewGold #HiddenNetworks #TraumaRecovery #Psychology Learn more about your ad choices.

In this mind-bending conversation, Richard Grannon, narcissism expert and social commentator, challenges journalist Andrew Gold to explore the eerie parallels between religious rituals of the past and the identity battles of today. Across history, societies have created rituals, beliefs, and taboos that unite people — but also divide them.

How groupthink and cult-like behaviour are driving today’s culture wars. The dangers of unquestioned dogma, whether it comes from the church or from woke ideology.

Andrew Gold pushes back, questioning whether these comparisons go too far, while Grannon insists the patterns of mass delusion remain the same. Together, they dissect one of the most controversial cultural flashpoints of our time. 🔥 Watch the full podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAlFt4QnWfo&t=2290s Are we witnessing a modern-day version of spiritual possession, only rebranded for the 21st century?

From Rishi Sunak’s broken pledges to bureaucratic sabotage behind the scenes, Suella argues that the party has chosen popularity over principles and Westminster comfort over conviction. 💬 “We promised control — instead, we’ve surrendered.” 💬 “The betrayal wasn’t a mistake. It was a choice.” 💬 “Voters were misled — and they deserve the truth.” In this gripping interview, Suella reveals the real battles happening inside Downing Street and the civil service — and why even senior ministers were too afraid to challenge the status quo.
