Why is the media afraid to mention this man? Here are my 3 must-watch moments:
1. The "Countdown to 16" Column (04:36)
2. The Care Home Controversy (08:05)
3. The "Network of Protection" and the House of Lords (20:25)
In this episode of Andrew Gold | Heretics, 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.
