  • Shaun Attwood interview

    Normally I enjoy Andrew Gold insightful interviews. However this week with Shaun Attwood fell way short of the mark. Atwood was allowed to speak nonsense for far too long, equating his own experiences in a US jail with the UK. I am quite sure Andrew M-W didn't get the shake down from the police that Attwood fantasized about.

  • Excellent discussions

    Hi Andrew, having worked at a relatively senior level in a number of very large organisations for many years, I tend to believe a large number of people are incompetent, self-serving and ignorant. It is practically impossible to keep a corporate secret in a group larger than 15-20, similarly, it is impossible to control outcomes in groups over 50. Thus, the simple explanation most conspiracies are nonsense is that there is no public service or large organisation capable of pulling it off. The... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

632. "The Leftist Who Makes Nigel Farage Look WOKE" - William Clouston
Q: How would you actually implement a more selective immigration system, in practical terms?
By adopting an 'immigration in the national interest' framework, applying evidence-based criteria, and reforming welfare and housing policies to ensure new arrivals don't disproportionately burden public services.
632. "The Leftist Who Makes Nigel Farage Look WOKE" - William Clouston
Q: I've been told that you are the leftist who makes Farage look woke. How do you respond to that?
I'm asked to defend a stance that blends traditional conservatism with a practical, evidence-based approach to policy, emphasizing national interests, controlled immigration, and a strong welfare-to-work ethos rather than ideological labels.
630. "The Secret Double Life of Nigel Farage" - Biographer Michael Crick
Q: Is Nigel Farage the most influential man in modern politics?
The biographer argues yes, framing Farage as the century's most successful communicator with outsized influence beyond his time in Parliament, shaped by strategic branding and media savvy.
631. King Charles, Islam and the Secrets They're Hiding - George Michael's Goddaughter Lauren the Insider
Q: What are some examples you discuss where elites seem to protect each other at the expense of public accountability?
I describe cases where editors and lawyers shield celebrities or royals through legal pressure, selective reporting, and strategic alliances that keep sensitive information out of headlines, highlighting a broader pattern of impunity for the powerful.
631. King Charles, Islam and the Secrets They're Hiding - George Michael's Goddaughter Lauren the Insider
Q: How did your personal experiences in the PR world shape your current approach to investigative content?
They gave me a front-row view of how stories are controlled and how power players suppress information, which motivated me to build an independent platform focused on truth-telling and connecting the dots that the mainstream media hides.
