Subscribe to Heretics Clips now for explosive interviews that pull no punches: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos Why does it feel like we’re living in a world where everyone is permanently offended? In this fascinating Heretics interview, advertising legend, author, and behavioural economics expert Rory Sutherland takes us deep inside a culture obsessed with outrage, virtue signalling, and binary thinking. Known for his role as Vice Chairman of Ogilvy UK and his sharp, witty observations on human behaviour, Sutherland pulls apart the mechanics of “woke” culture — from the way social media rewards public outrage, to how virtue signalling has replaced meaningful debate. Inspired by thinkers like Douglas Murray and Chris Williamson, he examines how a hyper-triggered society is stifling free expression, creativity, and nuance. In this thought-provoking conversation, you’ll discover: Why Rory thinks binary thinking is making everyone dumber. How the constant search for offence is hurting genuine progress. The difference between real activism and performative virtue signalling. Why Greta Thunberg and similar figureheads have become symbols rather than problem-solvers. How advertising and branding play into the culture wars. Why outrage has become a currency in modern life — and who benefits from it. Andrew Gold challenges Rory on whether “wokeness” is a passing cultural phase or a deeper shift in societal norms. They explore how corporations, politics, and media have adapted to a world where triggered responses dominate the conversation, and whether it’s possible to bring back intelligent, good-faith debate. Sutherland’s background in marketing gives him a unique lens: he explains how emotional signalling — once the domain of brand strategy — has now taken over personal identity and political discourse. In a climate where people are more concerned about being seen as good than actually doing good, Rory asks whether we’ve lost sight of genuine problem-solving. Whether you agree with him or not, this is a must-watch for anyone tired of walking on eggshells in an age where the wrong word can get you cancelled. ➡️ Watch the full interview now and share your thoughts in the comments: Is modern society too easily triggered — or is this just cultural evolution? 🎥 Full interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Jd9Wlb9l_Y #RorySutherland #Heretics #WokeCulture #VirtueSignalling #CancelCulture #GretaThunberg #BinaryThinking #CultureWar #FreeSpeech Learn more about your ad choices.

Camilla exposes the deception, cover-ups and editorial failures that allowed Bashir to secure the most controversial interview in royal history — and how the BBC protected him long after the truth began to surface. This isn’t the sanitised version you’ve heard before. Camilla takes you inside the corridors of power at Broadcasting House, revealing how forged bank statements, intimidation tactics and manipulated fears were used to win Diana’s trust… and how BBC leadership ignored warning after warning. She explains why Bashir wasn’t a “rogue reporter” acting alone — but part of a wider institutional failure that senior BBC figures knew about, looked away from, or actively helped bury. In this explosive interview, Camilla and Andrew explore: How Martin Bashir duped Princess Diana using falsified evidence Why BBC executives shielded him even when doubts were raised internally How the corporation tried to hide the truth from the public and the Royal Family What the Dyson Report exposed — and what it still didn’t reveal How this scandal permanently shattered trust in the BBC Why Camilla believes the culture that enabled Bashir still exists today Camilla also reveals the internal pressures, rivalries and editorial blind spots that shaped the BBC during the Bashir era — and explains how that culture paved the way for one of the darkest moments in British journalism. She delivers a rare behind-the-scenes account of what senior insiders were saying privately, and how the corporation’s instinct to protect its reputation made the scandal far worse. Whether you’re fascinated by royal history, media ethics or institutional accountability, this conversation exposes the real story behind the BBC’s complicity — a story far more disturbing and consequential than the public was ever told.

In this explosive conversation, Suella takes us behind closed doors during the “Stop the Boats” battle, alleging that advisers, Whitehall officials and party tacticians prioritised headlines over hard choices. She describes how pushing for stronger border control and the Rwanda plan put her in direct conflict with the machine — and why, in her view, telling uncomfortable truths cost her the job. 💬 “I refused to stay silent — and that’s why they kicked me out.” 💬 “Sunak wanted optics; I wanted outcomes.” 💬 “You can’t control a border you’re afraid to defend.” Andrew presses Suella on her most controversial moments: Was she too hardline on illegal migration? Did she misread the politics? And can the Conservatives still win back trust on immigration, policing and national identity? Suella answers with rare candour — outlining the pressures inside government, the media storms, and what she calls a culture of political cowardice. This is Suella Braverman as you’ve never seen her: defiant, reflective, and determined to explain how British politics really works when conviction collides with careerism.

When Philip Schofield’s downfall shocked Britain, many wondered how much his co-host Holly Willoughby really knew — and why she distanced herself so quickly. In this unflinching episode of Heretics, journalist Sonia Poulton joins Andrew Gold to expose what she calls the real story behind ITV’s golden duo — and why she believes Holly Willoughby should never be trusted. 👉 Subscribe to Heretics Clips for more fearless, unfiltered conversations: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos Sonia Poulton, one of Britain’s most outspoken journalists, takes us behind the scenes of the British media machine — where image is everything, and truth is often the first casualty. Drawing on years of investigative reporting, she breaks down how ITV’s This Morning became a brand built on illusion — and why, when the Philip Schofield scandal erupted, the network’s response was pure damage control. Sonia explains why she believes Holly Willoughby’s public statements don’t add up — questioning how a long-time co-presenter could be completely unaware of Schofield’s actions. Was she protecting her brand, or was there something deeper at play? The discussion delves into ITV’s culture of silence, its obsession with reputation, and how insiders close ranks when controversy threatens the network’s biggest names. Andrew and Sonia also unpack the wider implications — from the hypocrisy of daytime TV’s “family-friendly” façade to the growing mistrust viewers feel toward legacy broadcasters. Sonia argues that the media industry often rewards compliance over integrity, and that the Schofield-Willoughby fallout is just one chapter in a much larger story about power, manipulation, and self-preservation inside British television. Expect candid revelations, bold claims, and uncomfortable truths as Sonia names names, connects dots, and challenges the idea that TV presenters are ever as wholesome as they seem. Whether you once admired Holly Willoughby or always sensed something more calculated behind her charm, this episode will change how you see Britain’s favourite TV double act. 🎧 Watch the full Heretics episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4v7AnxCNxA&t=3s #SoniaPoulton #PhilipSchofield #HollyWilloughby #ITV #ThisMorning #Heretics #AndrewGold #BritishMedia #TVScandal #MediaCoverUp #DaytimeTV #CelebrityCulture #MediaCorruption #HereticsClips Learn more about your ad choices.

Is Keir Starmer quietly dismantling Britain’s foundations while pretending to save them? In this explosive Heretics conversation, Dave Rubin joins Andrew Gold to break down why he believes Starmer represents everything wrong with today’s political class — weak leadership, moral cowardice, and blind allegiance to progressive orthodoxy. 👉 Subscribe to Heretics Clips for more fearless, unfiltered conversations: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos Dave Rubin — host of The Rubin Report and one of the world’s leading voices on free speech and liberal values — argues that Starmer’s Labour isn’t just unfit to lead; it’s actively eroding the very principles that built Britain. From unchecked immigration and ideological policing to the stifling of dissent, Rubin lays out how Britain’s political establishment has traded truth for popularity and conviction for convenience. Andrew and Dave discuss how Starmer’s government has embraced a culture of performative morality — saying the right things about fairness and justice while censoring debate, demonising opponents, and empowering bureaucratic elites. Is Labour truly a force for progress, or has it become the ultimate expression of establishment control wrapped in moral language? The pair explore the deeper global trends — from the rise of technocratic politics to the fall of individuality — and how the UK’s current direction mirrors the failures of Western democracies everywhere. Rubin argues that the collapse of courage among politicians is more dangerous than any one policy, and that Britain’s cultural elite are playing with fire by suppressing honest disagreement. Expect sharp political insight, fierce debate, and Rubin’s trademark blend of wit and principle as he and Andrew Gold dissect the ideological rot behind the Labour brand — and what it means for Britain’s future. 🎧 Watch the full Heretics episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cSmAveiVHo&t=4162s #DaveRubin #KeirStarmer #Heretics #AndrewGold #UKPolitics #LabourParty #FreeSpeech #CultureWars #WokePolitics #BritishGovernment #PoliticalCorrectness #MediaBias #HereticsClips Learn more about your ad choices.

The Tories promised stability, prosperity, and strength — but after 14 years in power, Britain feels broken. In this explosive Heretics episode, Andrew Gold sits down with political scientist and author Matt Goodwin to ask the question millions of Britons are now thinking: why should anyone ever vote Conservative again? 👉 Subscribe to Heretics Clips for more fearless, unfiltered conversations: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos Matt Goodwin, one of the UK’s most influential voices on populism and class politics, dismantles the myth that the Conservative Party still represents the Right — or even ordinary people. From mass immigration to housing chaos and the collapse of free speech, he argues that the Tories have betrayed their voters, abandoned their principles, and handed Labour the moral high ground. Andrew and Matt dissect how Rishi Sunak’s government has become indistinguishable from the Left it claims to oppose — championing globalism, diversity quotas, and high taxes while ignoring the working-class voters who gave them power in 2019. The result? A political vacuum that’s fuelling the rise of Nigel Farage and Reform UK. Expect hard-hitting insights into: Why the Conservatives lost their soul — and how it happened The data showing Britain’s voters are more socially conservative than Westminster realises How uncontrolled immigration has reshaped the political map Why the next election could be the death blow for the Tory Party And what a new political realignment might look like in Britain’s future This isn’t just about politics — it’s about identity, values, and betrayal. Goodwin argues that Britain’s ruling class no longer serves its people, and that both major parties are out of touch with the public’s real concerns: crime, culture, and the cost of living. Whether you’re disillusioned with the Right or furious at the Left, this conversation will challenge everything you think you know about British politics — and reveal why the next revolution might come from outside the system. 🎧 Watch the full Heretics episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEb4mOXl7_c&t=1970s #Heretics #AndrewGold #MattGoodwin #Tories #BritishPolitics #ReformUK #NigelFarage #Conservatives #UKElection #Politics #Populism #Immigration #CultureWars #FreeSpeech #UKNews #TruthPodcast #UKPolitics Learn more about your ad choices.

Louis Theroux’s documentaries have shaped how Britain understands its most controversial figures — but did he miss something darker when it came to Jimmy Savile? In this explosive episode of Heretics, journalist Sonia Poulton sits down with Andrew Gold to reveal what she believes is the real truth behind the BBC, Savile, and the journalists who failed to expose him. 👉 Subscribe to Heretics Clips for more fearless, unfiltered conversations: https://www.youtube.com/@hereticsclips/videos Sonia Poulton, one of Britain’s most outspoken investigative journalists, pulls no punches as she examines Louis Theroux’s famous interviews with Jimmy Savile — and the unanswered questions they left behind. She argues that Theroux, like much of the British media, got too close to the story, trusting Savile’s charm and manipulation instead of digging deeper into the disturbing rumours that swirled for decades. In this gripping conversation, Sonia explains why she believes Savile’s crimes were hiding in plain sight, how the BBC turned a blind eye to years of abuse, and why even intelligent journalists can fall into the trap of believing the powerful. She also exposes the cultural and institutional systems that allowed Savile to thrive — from celebrity worship to media gatekeeping — and why, even today, the full truth about his connections to British elites may still be untold. Expect shocking insights, tense debate, and moments that will make you rethink what you thought you knew about Savile, Theroux, and the media that shaped the story. Sonia also discusses her own experiences within British television, revealing the price of asking uncomfortable questions — and why she continues to fight for transparency, accountability, and justice in the media world. If you thought you knew everything about the Savile scandal — think again.
