    666. Zak Garner-Purkis: Who’s Profiting From the Small Boats Crisis?

    29/06/2026 | 1h 1 mins.
    Who is really profiting from the small boat crisis? Andrew Gold sits down with investigative journalist Zak Garner-Purkis of Daily Express, who has gone undercover to expose the massive "iceberg" of organized crime operating right under our noses. From delivery app exploitation and suspicious high street barber shops to the terrifying reality of human trafficking and modern slavery—this isn't just about politics; it’s a lucrative criminal industry worth more than the drug trade.

    In this episode, we reveal the three red flags of criminal networks in your neighborhood, the truth about the "shadow GDP," and the shocking failures within the bureaucratic class and the CPS that allow these networks to flourish.

    Watch to the end to see the three red flags you need to spot on your own high street.

    664. Blackbelt Barrister: Two Tier Justice & Sex Offender Let-Offs

    22/06/2026 | 1h 9 mins.
    Is the UK legal system actually fair, or is “Two-Tier Justice” a documented reality?

    In this explosive interview, I sit down with the Black Belt Barrister to uncover a “shadowy cabal” that effectively creates our laws without being answerable to the public.

    SUPPORT MY GUEST: Follow @BlackBeltBarrister

    We dive deep into the most controversial cases of the year - from the shocking disparity between riot sentencing and sex offender leniency to the truth behind the Lucy Connolly case. Why do some offenders get 31 months for a social media post while others escape prison for heinous crimes?

    We also explore the “fear of getting it wrong” within the police force, the secret influence of the Sentencing Council, and why the Equality Act might need a complete “blank slate” reboot. This is the conversation about the British legal system that the mainstream media is too afraid to have.

    18/06/2026 | 41 mins.
    Why is the media afraid to mention this man?

    In this episode, I’m joined by journalist Matthew Steeples to pull back the curtain on one of the most powerful and untouchable figures in British media and business: David Sullivan. From his rise in the adult industry to his ownership of West Ham United and his significant influence within the BBC and Fleet Street, we explore why certain stories never see the light of day. Steeples breaks down the complex web of power, the "gagging orders," and the media's complicity in protecting elite interests. This is a deep dive into the shadows of the UK establishment you won't hear anywhere else.
