Follow her on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/tilllllly.y X: https://x.com/blondepraxis TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@blondepraxis Tilly breaks down the online witch-hunt she faced, the accusations from both Right and Left, and the bizarre moment when progressives turned on her simply for saying that celebrating someone’s death is wrong. We dive into why certain violent sentiments seem “acceptable” in progressive circles, the growing trend of Left-wing intolerance, and the moral hypocrisy surrounding political violence. We also go deep into the debates that made Tilly infamous: • Tommy Robinson – is he really “Right-wing,” and why does that label get thrown around without explanation? • Nationalism – why nationalism has historically been associated with the Left, and the difference between civic nationalism and Christian nationalism. • Culture vs Religion – from patriarchy in Islamic countries to whether oppression is cultural, legal, or both. • Gender, feminism, and whether patriarchy is “natural” – including controversial ideas many are now too scared to say out loud. • Race, IQ, immigration, and why older people move to the Right – uncomfortable questions most mainstream platforms refuse to touch. • Why some Jewish Brits feel unsafe, rising antisemitism, and why mass immigration makes these conversations unavoidable. Tilly also opens up about the backlash from her own side, the pressure to conform to progressive groupthink at university, and why she believes many young people will eventually shift Right as they grow up. If you’re tired of the scripted culture-war soundbites and want a raw, unfiltered confrontation of ideas—from religion to race, nationalism to gender, and the political hypocrisy no one else will acknowledge—this is an episode you won’t want to miss. 🔥 Topics: free speech, political violence, Left-wing extremism, Tommy Robinson debate, nationalism, Islam & culture, feminism vs biology, race & immigration, antisemitism, eugenics discourse, why nations fail, mass immigration politics, media bias (BBC vs GB News), the Groypers, Quran vs Bible, asylum system failures, Sudan double standards, and more.

  • 594. I Built Ted Baker - Then Got Taken Down Over Hugs? - Ray Kelvin FINALLY Speaks Out
    Nov 30 2025
    In this rare and deeply personal conversation, Ray Kelvin - founder of global fashion brand Ted Baker — breaks his silence for the first time. After decades of avoiding interviews, he speaks openly about the rise of Ted Baker, the culture he built, the controversies that ended his tenure, and the emotional cost of losing the company he created.

He discusses criticism over physical boundaries, workplace culture, PR practices, and long-running myths that surrounded him — including stories about hugs, neck-stroking claims, alleged whispering, lap-sitting rumours, and more. This conversation also explores his leadership style, the pressures of running a public company, how quickly public sentiment can shift, and the human consequences of Ted Baker’s collapse. Ray describes the impact on thousands of employees, the strain on his personal life, and the condition that affected his hands during the period everything changed. He also reflects on difficult moments — confrontations, workplace expectations, and accusations from former staff — sharing his own recollections and regrets. In one of the interview’s most striking moments, Ray speaks about the emotional toll, the cultural climate at the time, and why he believes the world “changed overnight.” Candid, uncomfortable, and surprising, this is the first time Ray Kelvin has ever told the full story of what happened — in his own words. #TedBaker #RayKelvin #Heretics Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_ok Heretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics #GenderDebate #TransDiscussion #HereticsPodcast Chapters: 0:00 Ray Kelvin Highlights 1:20 Why Ray Kelvin is Speaking Now 4:20 Why Ted Baker Had NO Private Offices 5:20 Who Actually Was Ted Baker? 9:35 The Fascinating Stories of Ted Baker 13:35 Ted Baker Went Public…Scrutiny 20:35 The Truth About The Hugs 22:20 The Organise Petition 25:35 Andrew Reached Out To Organise 29:05 Accusations: Whispering In Ears 32:35 Press-Ups When Late? 35:35 Pushing Employee Up Against The Wall 38:35 The Dirty Joke Business Card 41:35 Not One Person Said This 45:35 Glassdoor’s Rating 48:05 Witch Hunt For Jewish Bosses? 49:05 Lumped In With Philip Green 52:35 Different Times 54:35 Taking Care Of Sick Employee 56:35 The Woman Sat On Ray’s Lap? 59:35 Offence Culture 1:01:35 How Difficult This Was For Ray 1:06:45 A Heretic Ray Kelvin Admires Learn more about your ad choices.

  • 593. Inside The Muslim Brotherhood's 100-Year-Plan - Extremism Expert Charles Asher Small
    Nov 27 2025
    Andrew Gold sits down with Charles Asher Small, one of the world’s leading experts on extremism, to unpack a warning 50 years in the making. According to Small, the ideological project launched by the Muslim Brotherhood nearly a century ago is now at its midpoint—and the next 50 years could determine the fate of Western democracy itself.

He outlines the ideological alliance he calls the “Red-Green” coalition—a convergence between radical left movements seeking to dismantle Western power structures and Islamist groups pursuing their own anti-democratic aims. We examine: - How countries like Jordan and the UAE have banned the Muslim Brotherhood - Whether the West is “sleeping through a revolution” - The UK’s staggering 40,000 individuals on its jihadist watchlist - The moral crisis facing Western leadership - The real-world implications for women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, religious minorities, and democratic freedoms - And the urgent question many are afraid to ask: Is a certain strain of political Islam fundamentally incompatible with Western liberal values? Despite the stark warnings, Small is clear: the vast majority of Muslims are decent, peaceful people who simply want to live normal lives. The danger, he argues, lies in extremist ideologies—not ordinary believers. This is a gripping, high-stakes conversation about geopolitics, ideology, security, and the future of the free world. As Small puts it: “We are sleeping through the revolution. It is time for us to wake up.” #HereticsPodcast #islamism #WesternValuesUnderThreat Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_ok Heretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics #GenderDebate #TransDiscussion #HereticsPodcast Chapters: 0:00 Charles Asher Small Highlights 1:10 How the Muslim Brotherhood is infiltrating the West 7:54 Are some religions more violent than others? 19:02 Should refugees be tested on their views? 19:55 What we can learn from the UAE to keep Islamic extremism under control 25:20 How the UK is being taken through democratic means 28:42 Can we distinguish between extreme Islamism and Islam 39:20 Is the radical right being funded by Qatar? 46:30 What the West needs to do to fight back Learn more about your ad choices.

  • 592. This Trans Debate Went Off the Rails - Dr. Helen Webberley vs Andrew Gold
    Nov 23 2025
    In this explosive debate episode of Heretics, Andrew sits down with Dr. Helen Webberley, one of the most controversial figures in the transgender healthcare world, for a brutally honest, high-stakes conversation about sex, gender, science, identity, mental health, and the limits of self-identification.

Dr. Webberley defends her position with conviction, arguing that being transgender is not a mental illness, while Andrew challenges the logic behind gender identity, the distinction between sex and gender, and whether ideologies around self-identification can withstand scientific scrutiny. The debate covers everything from whether transgender people are “real,” to comparisons with anorexia, to whether someone could “identify as a table,” to the emotional and ethical concerns around treating children, puberty blockers, detransitioners, medical evidence, and why so many celebrities have trans-identifying kids. At moments deeply uncomfortable, at moments shockingly frank, this episode exposes the core disagreements shaping the modern gender debate — and does so without cutting corners. If you want to understand the arguments, the science, the accusations of pseudoscience, the worldview differences, and why this conversation is tearing society apart, this is the episode to watch.

  • 591. The BBC Betrayed Diana: The Shocking Truth About The Bashir Scandal

Were the consequences more devastating than anyone imagined? Webb explores the shocking possibility that without that interview, Diana might be alive today, living quietly as a grandmother at 64. We dig into the biggest unanswered questions: - Who was Martin Bashir—and how did he get so close to Diana and Michael Jackson? - How did forged bank statements open the gates of Kensington Palace? - What was Diana told that terrified her into believing people at the highest levels wanted her dead? - Why did she record what was essentially her “last will and testament”? - How did a bodyguard she cared about die only months after their relationship? - What did the BBC know—and when did they know it? - Why did the corporation spend over £1 million of licence fee money to stop Webb’s investigations? Andy Webb reveals how Diana felt duped, hoaxed, and frightened, how rumours involving Tiggy Legge-Bourke spiralled out of control, and how the BBC’s internal decisions continue to raise questions about accountability, leadership, and the culture that allowed Bashir’s behavior to go unchecked. If you want to understand the real story behind the Bashir scandal, the BBC cover-up, and the chain of events that reshaped the Royal Family forever, this is the episode you can't miss. #PrincessDiana #MartinBashir #BBCScandal Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_ok Heretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics Learn more about your ad choices.

  • 590. The Real Reason The BBC Keeps Lying To You - Telegraph Editor Camilla Tominey
    Nov 17 2025
    In this new episode of Heretics, Andrew Gold speaks with Camilla Tominey about the growing public frustration with the BBC, the long-running accusations of BBC bias, and why so many viewers now feel the broadcaster has lost its sense of impartiality. From the Martin Bashir scandal and Princess Diana to the Trump documentary editing controversy, the conversation takes a detailed look at how the BBC handles political reporting, culture war issues and internal accountability.

She explains how teams sometimes behave as if “if you don’t agree with me, you’re not just wrong but bad and evil”. Andrew and Camilla revisit the leaked internal memos that changed the conversation around BBC neutrality, and why critics argue that the organisation often reacts to scrutiny with “silence, shame and cancellation instead of reflection”. Some who oppose Camilla’s reporting have claimed, and these are not her words, that “this is a Telegraph right wing plot to destabilise the BBC”. The episode breaks down where these accusations come from and why they persist. They take a close look at the BBC Trump documentary controversy and ask whether the public reaction would have been the same if the editing had been applied to Joe Biden. Camilla suggests that instead of “crying mutiny and coup”, the broadcaster should examine the substance of what is being alleged. The conversation also covers gender politics and public activism. Camilla notes how she does not see right wing commentators wearing masks and shouting “out, out, out, scum, scum, scum” in the streets, while Andrew adds his own satirical “Raus!” as they explore how toxic the culture wars have become. This wide-ranging interview touches on BBC leadership under Tim Davie, public debate around immigration, and why many viewers privately agree with opinions they feel unable to express publicly. The discussion ends with questions about Nigel Farage, whether Tommy Robinson could ever run for office, and a humorous look at Andrew’s own baptism. If you are interested in media bias, political journalism, free speech, British culture wars and the future of the BBC, this is a deep dive into one of the most important debates in modern broadcasting. #CamillaTominey #BBCBias #HereticsPodcast Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_ok Heretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics Learn more about your ad choices.

  • 588. Carol McGiffin - Loose Women Hid My Backstage Fight With This TV Star
    Nov 10 2025
    Carol McGiffin joins Heretics for a brutally honest, no-holds-barred conversation about why she really left Loose Women and what was happening behind the scenes at one of daytime TV’s biggest shows. From explosive rows in the dressing room to being repeatedly censored by ITV, Carol explains how the atmosphere shifted as the show – and the wider industry – became more rigid, risk-averse and, in her words, “woke”.

Carol opens up about being “forced out”, the pressure to conform on issues like trans debates and women’s sport, and why she believes presenters are now expected to say one thing on TV while thinking another in private. Beyond Loose Women, we get into her clashes with Carol Vorderman over the moon landings and climate change, what she really thinks about Piers Morgan, memories from Celebrity Big Brother, Rylan and immigration, modern feminism, Kate Garraway’s situation with Derek, and why she believes TV has lost its sense of humour and honesty. If you’ve ever suspected that mainstream TV is more scripted, controlled and performative than it looks – this episode will confirm your suspicions. 👉 Watch to the end for Carol’s take on climate debates, Russia, “heretics” she admires, and why she thinks some opinions are now completely off-limits on British television. #CarolMcGiffin #LooseWomen #HereticsPodcast Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_ok Heretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldheretics Chapters: 0:00 Carol McGiffin Highlights 1:30 Why Carol McGiffin Left Loose Women 5:00 What The Show Was Like At First 7:15 Moon Landing Carol Vorderman Argument 9:00 Going to the Pub - Not Allowed 11:30 Celebrity Big Brother 14:30 Carol Vorderman Patronising & Climate Change 16:30 Carol Attacks Piers Morgan! 19:20 Kate Garraway’s Husband Derek 21:30 Would Loose Women Discuss Trans? 24:15 What Rylan Said About Immigration 25:30 The Mafia Bringing Boats Across 28:00 When Carol Mentioned Trump on Loose Women 31:00 Tension on the Set! 33:30 Truth About Russia? 34:30 Ross Kemp 37:30 We Should NOT Give Up Seats For Pregnant Women 40:30 Loose Women Weren’t Allowed To Show Arms! 44:30 Is Carol McGiffin Allowed On TV Now? 46:00 The Problem With Modern Feminism? 49:30 Climate Debate 55:30 A Heretic Carol McGiffin Admires Learn more about your ad choices.
