@BoiseLou If you could provide any reference to Sapolsky's views that have been published in peer reviewed journals or books, that would be great, because I can't find any. I have searched library databases thoroughly but to no avail. He certainly does spruik a lot on social media. TIA
@BoiseLou Great, thanks. If Sapolsky does not personally specialise in gender identity in his work (and I'm still waiting for the references, thanks) I am a tad perplexed as to why anyone would want someone with merely an uninformed opinion as an interviewee. When scientists do research and using the scientific method come up with a valid conclusion, especially something 'heretical' they usually publish. That is part of their professional life. So because as you say there is general agreement amongst scientists of neurodevelopmental factors in the formation of gender identity please provide references to peer reviewed journal articles or books that shows the general agreement is based on scientific research. From anyone. TIA
I was working in Gloucester ITU 1985-1990 we had heard about Jimmy Saville & his room in Stoke Mandeville Hosp , I told managers what I’d been told ,,,, NothingHappened
I witnessed some one from work (I do not work there now), get sexually abused on a work's night out by a co-worker. The bullying toward me started straight away, as I was friends and was kind to the person it happened to. I was threatened with my job and reputation. It took me 6 months to tell HR, then the bullied went up several levels, I was threatened several more times with my job and my reputation - I kept on going for three years and in the end I went to HR again (third time) and promised them if it did not stop I would go to to the police and get legal advice. I was not mad in the end with the abuser who did the thing in the first place, but with the group of people that bullied me because I witnessed it and told HR - that group of people, to me are much worse than the abuser.....and I will never have anything to do with any of them
No you have it wrong I'm afraid. If the abuser had not abused, then you would not of experienced what you were subjected to. Its the abuser to blame, no one else.
@@Venmaylove You can't complain about some sections of our society. For instance, it is impossible to complain to the NHS, or about them. You will be bullied by gangs of NHS enablers.
I'm not convinced Huw Edwards was a 'cash cow' for the BBC. I think the BBC's cash cows are us poor citizens (who have the license fee extracted from us by fear of prosecution.) Lots of women 'cash cows' from poor households have gone to prison to keep the BBC rich & powerful with far more influence than it merits.

Dr Persaud got very close to saying why celebrities’ children go trans but didn’t quite follow his own train of thinking. How do you get your neglectful narcissistic parents to pay attention to you? Having a crisis of identity is a sure fire way to turn the spotlight on yourself.
And if that doesn't work, the attention from strabgers helps fill that void. It's also a good way for the childen of super famous multi-millionares to claim "victimhood and marginalization" too.
Everyone goes through developmental stage's which seem to have been conveniently forgotten in recent times. You have several times over a lifetime where you start to change physiologically when you have become comfortable with your previous stage of development. The child to adolescent stage is particularly horrible and noticeable, coincidentally also a time where you are easily influenced by others. If you already live in a very shallow, narcissistic environment and TV/movies attracts Narcissists/Histrionic personality disorders, fighting for attention is normal to you. How do you get attention from a narcissist/histrionic when you barely have a personality to call your own? You do things that appeal to the parents vanity. It's easy to switch I don't like becoming an adolescent into I don't want to be this or that person. It's almost the same thing to a child.
@@neenaj365 I have heard of kids with higher functioning Autism being mistaken for having other difficulties but someone has to make said mistake and put the idea's into their heads in most instances. TBH you may be right in some cases, Elon Musk isn't stupid and went down this route with one of his kid's.
I was a care worker. I blew a Whistle and guess what ... Been unemployed ever since. And the person I whistle blew on and the QCS ignored as did all the other staff ?? Was later found to be stealing Tens of thousands of pounds of clients money.
Like anything HR related, the "Whistle blowing" rules are there to protect the organisation, not the employee. Never... never.. trust anything relating to HR - the clue is in the name - we are a "resource" to be exploited and disposed of when we are no longer of any use.
I keep hearing people say this but he all he did was say something really vague once, it's not like he went on the record with national newspapers making a direct accusation? Unless I'm mistaken, did he say anything other than that really vague interview? He seems to want to claim credit for being a whistle-blower but he wasn't.
@@AshleyMillsTube he's never sought credit for anything, other than to warn people. You've taken a disagreeable stance to what was just an honest assessment and statement from Rotten at the time.
@@boltonpete Well let's look what he actually said (he's talking about a hit list of celebrities in a tongue in cheek bit) "I'd like to kill Jimmy Saville , I think he's a hypocrit. I bet he's into all kinds of seediness that we all know about but we're not allowed to talk about. I know some rumours " And this wasn't actually broadcast at the time. As for not taking credit he says in the Piers interview "I did my bit", as if that was enough, saying something on a bit that was never even broadcast. So he says he knew rumours, and mentions seediness. I think the idea that he was trying to make an honest attempt to warn people is BS. If he genuinely knew kids were being abused he should have kept pushing it at every chance? No? The only reason I am so disagreeable about it is that I keep seeing these comments saying "oh johnny rotten tried to warn us" a if he's some kind of hero for saying something really vague once and then never actually following it up. It's the over-egging of his role like he pulled a Snowden at the time that leads me to counteract it. Do you understand why it winds me up?
The fact that the word pedophile is blocked on a platform which routinely features underage girls 'modeling' lingerie (complete with a BS disclaimer) is beyond hypocritical.
I have to point out that 'underage' is not the same as PDF file. Most girls have adult like bodies by 14. I am not saying that it is right, but if someone is attracted to someone with all the signs of an adult body they are not a PDF file.
Mr S was a horrible man behind the cameras. I met him once, many years ago, he was visiting where I lived and loads of school children were there and very excited. He was horrid to them, dismissive, pushed them out of the way, curt and rude. Nasty piece of work. People only remember the TV personality....
@@angelmessenger8240 But the onscreen TV personality was in no way warm or avuncular. I think it was his eccentricity we all responded to. It was weird and easily imitated, so very easy to get a laugh with. The media was full of OTT characters back in the 60s and 70s. They were a TV staple. Compare that kind of celebrity to what's mainstream now. How generic and bland they are today. A lot of 70s personalities looked and behaved like they'd escaped from a secure unit.
I wrote to his, " Fix it," show, so glad he never responded! I wanted to sing with Dexies Midnight Runners to Come on Eileen. Dodged a bullet there, phew
My dad was a great dad. A great man. I never saw him growing up because he worked 70hrs a week. He wasnt a hollywood actor, he was a blue collar worker who just wanted a better life for his kids than he had. A life of abject poverty. Ive done the opposite. I refuse to work over, i refuse to tilt the "work/life balance" in favour of work. I dont work weekends, I take my boys camping, walking, to the park, teach them how to light a fire, take them to sports games, to watch or play. We arent here to work, we are here to help our kids grow up to be strong responsible adults. You can do that in a caravan or a mansion.
It saddens me that in discussing Saville, Raj Persaud fails to recognise his late colleague, Professor Anthony Clare, who was personally known to Persaud. In 1991 Clare conducted a series of interviews with celebrities on Radio 4, and then published them in a book called "In the psychiatrist's chair". Saville was one of the interviewees and Clare was onto him, although restricted in what he was able to say. The Irish Times notes: "In some unusually judgmental comments, Clare concluded that Savile was both calculating and materialistic, and Clare expressed a sense of foreboding, suggesting that there was some profound psychological disturbance in Savile, rooted in a deprived and emotionally indifferent childhood. While Clare was clearly intrigued by Savile, he was also disturbed by him and, in the end, found Savile chilling." th-cam.com/video/iMOOJLr8ei8/w-d-xo.html
I like to speak up and don't comform when I'm aware of bad conditions transpiring, but I hate being singled out. It drives me insane when people complain and then remain a bystander. I'm left alone and without support.
Excellent - haven’t dropped in for ages, went home page, ran down ep. list and scored with the good doctor. It was riveting from start to finish, running along at a good pace, volleys from both ends sent back & forth across the net with equal intensity & charisma. A rollicking informative convo sans too much work this end. A success I would say. Ta.
I was shocked watching the Jimmy Savile - A British Horror Story on Netflix. As an American, I had never heard of him. The fact that he was able to go into a hospital, take young girls for a drive, and be with disabled children, crazy! And all the many decades it was covered up and then he died so no retribution, awful. Money can buy anything.
Yes it’s rotten , British pm Starmer was human rights lawyer at the time and was paid well for this Case and got him off , it was riddled with corruption.
Years ago Id wait for a bus outside a special needs school on route to work, the kids were severely physically and mentally disabled and most were non verbal. The staff were nearly all MEN and it didnt feel right to me, it disturbed me deeply, why this special needs school was 90% male staff

Thank you Andrew - that was a great interview - and conversation. Dr Persaud has the unique ability to convey his knowledge, thoughts and opinions with clarity.
I'm not a TV watcher and haven't heard of Dr. Raj before, but he seems really knowledgeable and also personable. Really enjoyed this discussion, thanks!
Raj Persuad resigned from his post at SLAM (South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust) in 2008 after a suspension by the GMC for dishonesty/plagiarism, not his despair at the bed crisis in acute mental health care (as stated). I worked for SLAM in the early 2000's and he was not well regarded professionally by his peers or the support staff. I'm growing very fond of these 'Heretics' discussions Andrew, but you need to do a deep dive into your guest's history.
i was shocked that anyone was shocked that he relied on plagiarism.. i thought that it went without saying that everything that he said was regurgitated from somewhere else..
He's always been more interested in his media career and self promotion hasn't he? I remember seeing him on the TV twenty or thirty years ago. On daytime magazine programmes. As their resident expert.
Trans - " ... people feel a certain way ... ". I am a bloke and not only do I have no idea what it 'feels like' to be a bloke but I have no idea how a man or woman could say how it is that they 'feel' they are of the opposite sex. I have asked friends of mine what does it feel like to be a man or a woman. None gave any sort of coherent answer. Some just said they didn't know. I admit I have read, somewhere on line, a list of life experiences by a woman, certainly a valid enough recounting, but they were experiences, not "feelings". I heard, at the three day hearing of the case Tickle v Giggle, in Sydney, Tickle, the bloke applicant who claims he's a woman, say, when asked what it feels like to be a woman, either (and I forget precisely which): "I feel psychologically I am a woman" or "Psychologically I feel I'm a woman". (It was one or the other.) But either one is so vague that it could mean anything, and, of course, can never be tested - and that's the way transworld wants it.
Yes, I just feel like me. I don't really ever think about being female specifically. I'm feminine too. I was in a university lecture once (in Australia) in about 2008 and they were talking about trans people ending their lives because they were 'in the wrong body'. I put my hand up and asked as a thought experiment can we imagine if we woke up the next day as the opposite gender, with no knowledge of our gender the previous day. Would an average person have that response? That was NOT a well received proposal by everyone in the lecture 😅 I wasn't even trying to be controversial. It was an honest thought!
@@squakke Thank you. That's great about the thought experiment. I am developing a couple so I can add that one. (BTW which uni in Oz? I have studied at six and taught at two - ANU and ACU.)
This is how I feel. I don't feel like a woman I just am one. The experiences of females are similar and in some cases unique to being a woman ie physical/biological. I think people have a sex and personalities are on a spectrum. I loathe the word 'gender' now.
Exactly. If I’m a woman and can’t articulate how it feels to be a woman, how can someone who has never been a woman claim they feel like one? It boggles the mind.
Their were rumours about Jimmy savile from the 60s and it was true. The British government and the Royal family protected him till he died also he never ran his marathons either.
Freemasonry maybe...which seems satanic...they look after their own maybe its actually lucerferianism. As theyre all secret societies i doubt well ever have a complete explanation. Though malachi martin.s hostage to the devil was enlightening.
I don't think anybody protected Saville. He got away with it for so long because society did not understand how these offenders worked, and more importantly, did not want to know. It was the era of the "dirty old man" and it was almost considered normal for men like that to be lecherous (just look at some of the tabloids from the 1970s and 1980s). Saville was representative of how rotten society was in the 20th century.
And machiavellianism. He kept flattering Andrew throughout the whole interview, and speaking in the first person plural (we, you and I), manipulating that way Andrew to admit to agreeing with him. 101 of manipulated conversation. A few good points, but many more that are pretty bogus-sounding. I wish Andrew pushed him a bit more and showed more skepitcism.
In 2008, Persaud was suspended from practising psychiatry for three months by the General Medical Council, having admitted being guilty of nine cases of plagiarism. He subsequently left his consultant position with the South London and Maudsley NHS trust. His book From the Edge of the Couch contained material plagiarised from four academic articles written by nine authors. Four of his articles also contained plagiarised passages from an article and book by Thomas Blass, The Man Who Shocked the World. The case against him began after a complaint by the Church of Scientology.[5]
Many years ago, the bbc had a series called ‘ in the psychiatrist’s chair’ with professor anthony clare. It was on a sunday evening and a calm enlightening wonderful series. Anthony was what one would hope for in any doctor, no matter their specialty. Sadly, anthony is no longer with us. And the bbc is no longer a place for education, peace or solace.
This was a very interesting discussion but one thing wasn’t mentioned that a lot of manipulative charmers use which is to play the victim so you feel sorry for them especially if they have been caught out. They know how to play on peoples emotions whether it’s being overly nice or being “vulnerable “ on what a difficult past they have had, etc etc.
He's right about giving your kids strange names. I got lumbered with Leslie (I hate writing it even!). Yes, it is meant to be unisex, but it's not anymore. Lesley is a girl's name (just hearing that phrase in my own head fills me with dread). Nowadays it's most definitely female. Growing up with it led to exclusion, bullying, derision... My christ it was awful! I gave my kids bog standard, British names. Normal, unremarkable names. So I could, even if I dropped dead after their names were on their birth certificate, protect them from something that ruined my day over & over again. The embarrassment, loneliness, physical & mental pain of ridicule & bullying of "having a girl's name" won't ever be a part of their lives. Don't give your kids interesting or novel names. It fu*ks up kid's lives!
Yes, when I had my son I made sure to give him a normal name that he wouldn't grow up to be bullied over. I wasnt yet married to his father and my surname was a foreign one but i made sure to give my son his father's surname which was an English one. Children can be cruel to one another, for sure.

Yes! And last time I checked, we do not affirm anorexics by withholding food from them and performing liposuction to remove every ounce of fat to help them feel right in their body. Boggles the mind why we immediately look to surgically castrate children now.
Oooooh ... this is so interesting that this guy is speaking out. I remember seeing him on This Morning I think was a regular in the past? And thinking what a nice guy. And then he seemed to disapperar. Will def be watching thank you x
Or he’s in a position where coming down on either side of it will heavily impact his ability to properly do his job. He needs to be seen as someone completely neutral so he can help as many people in need of it as he possibly can. If he were to nail himself down to one side of a demographic, or political ideology, he would lose any potential client who disagrees with him, and start getting nothing but people on the left, or people on the right, or people for this, or people against that. He wasn’t put on the spot in that regard likely for that exact reason, but Andrew still thought he’d try and ask him some questions anyway to see if he could slip an answer through. Not having a heated discussion on whether something should or shouldn’t exist doesn’t mean he doesn’t have his own personal convictions… but in his line of work, when you aren’t going to people, but they’re all coming to you, publicly coming down on any side of any divisive matter can severely negatively impact his livelihood. So you really have to take that sort of thing into consideration. There’s a huge difference in being a conformist, and just being respectful for the sake of not actively cornering a group of people into hating you because of what you think… especially nowadays. …case and point - he couldn’t even NOT talk about it without you demanding that he’s a conformist lol. - “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio…” lol 🤷🏻♂️
I read your comment before watching the video, now I've heard him I came here to comment. I thought he did a great job of describing trans as a trendy label to describe underling happiness and conformity and that there is usually a business model behind the label. He stuck to professional descriptions, as he has to if he wants to continue working!
@@Xshathra006You claim an authority on intelligence yet conflate grammar with mental aptitude. You haven’t won, yet your desire to win a conversation rather than have one telegraphs only your clumsy lack of kindness.
Raj Persaud's 'insights' are not that profound. He says nothing here that even I couldn't regurgitate with a little research. I remember meeting him once many years ago (as a healthcare professional myself) on chaperoning a friend who was a very sick and fragile inpatient at the Bethlehem Royal Psychiatric Hospital and was appalled by his lack of care and basic bedside manner with someone so shaky and cognitively challenged. He introduced himself as 'Dr Persaud' (so much for 'just call me Raj' - probably because she wasn't famous and wealthy and he was already a media regular by then) and sat in coat and scarf with arms and legs crossed, barely pausing to listen and barking at her at a hundred miles an hour, appearing bored and wanting to be somewhere else. He came across as vain, dismissive and arrogant, so I was not shocked to read the comments below regarding the truth surrounding his exit from the NHS and how poorly he was viewed by his colleagues, because I clocked that about him within two minutes and would have agreed with them wholeheartedly. He is no Jordan Peterson or Helen Joyce.
I there's truth in that, he did get bloated by celebrity success and the hunger for success... atst he does know his field and is an adept communicator. You have to balance things: For every occassion you witnessed how many times did he also do a good job? Also the care sector imho can seriously lead to burn-out and the dark arts of neglect set in as such... imho I would say he's more insightful than Peterson with respect to the research field if not with respect to Peterson's angle which seems more foced on a holistic description of the self eg Jungian.
I work in mental health and he is unfortunately typical of a lot of psychiatrists that have no real psychological skills and walk around with arrogance and no empathy for the patients as they seem to see them as lesser than.
Because of a so called Psychiatrist, I was nearly denied an operation. Luckily for me, the Consultant and Doctor were on my side. Interesting that the oddball left the hospital very soon after I complained to the Consultant......
@@musicians_with_gunts I don’t know, if a guy was gay, and changed his sex, is he still gay or is he now cisgender. After all he is not gender dysphoric anymore so he can’t be gay either. No he, now she, is not trans either. Maybe while they were transitioning you could say they were trans, but once he had sex change surgery she is not trans anymore.
@@jillengland3277no such thing as CISgender, it’s a woke term designed to normalise degeneracy and has about as much validity as forcing someone to wear a yellow star.
@@musicians_with_gunts I don't know how you could come to this conclusion. People are definitely gay. That's just a preference that people are able to act on, and they do, and most do it with no regret or doubt. They're not being forced or pressured. But no force in nature is actually able to change a persons gender, other than an overactive imagination. People who call themselves Trans are dealing with gender dysphoria, but gay people are just gay..
I agree that it's possible to survive anything. I've survived some terrible things, truly awful, but am still here... Not always easy to keep going but I try to focus on the good in life, as well as finding a way to help others who've been through the same.
Come on, Andrew.... I love your Heritics podcasts, but please, don't play it safe with your guests! We are a country divided on wokeness... we need more 'guests' who are not bothered about what they say or who they upset!!

I love that Zappa and his wife named their daughter, "Moon Unit" but read her recent book "Earth to Moon." Very revealing and a healing journey for her. Child of celebrity. Born in 1967. I love her name but had no idea how difficult her life was due to the celebrity of her father and her relationship with her mother, etc. Good book. Her brother, Dweezil Zappa (another bizarre name but he doesn't mind!), tours playing his dad's music! Interesting family.
Really enjoyed this interview. I enjoyed him on This Morning years ago so I was disappointed when he was what we would now call "cancelled". Maybe there's more to what happened, maybe there isn't? Nonetheless this is a good listen.
In 2008, Persaud was suspended from practising psychiatry for three months by the General Medical Council, having admitted being guilty of nine cases of plagiarism after a complaint from the Church of Scientology.
Unfortunately that's what these corrupt organisations do, take a look at the baby killer, covered up doctors who took action were discredited. The NHS is exactly like the BBC
You bring some seriously good and intelligent guests on, and you ask intelligent questions that cut right to the important points. These are dense conversations, which makes them easier to listen to. So many other podcasts are 3 hours long and mostly nothing.
Because of the law of defamation. You can't defame the dead, so journalists are only free to be honest/reveal scandals after the death, sometimes in their pre-written obituaries.
Amazing interview! Thank you to both of you - Dr. Persaud, I could listen to you all day, you're insight is fascinating! Thank you Andrew, for bringing this to us!
Brilliant conversation. Excellent questions from Andrew & insightful, excitable answers from Raj. Slight & humorous banter. These 2 should have more exposure. But unfortunately we know why they won't.
An excellent discussion. Huw Edwards epitomises the rank rotteness of the BBC and much of the mainstream media. Andrew you're doing an outstanding work here, keep it up and the excellent guests you choose. Well done you !
It’s very likely they are ignored and it’s a potential way to get attention from the primary caregiver who has most influence in the family (aka the celebrity).
Show business is not a microcosm of real life. Not in the mix. Almost by definition it attracts far more than its fair share of attention seekers and narcissists. So the dynamic of relationships within show business, movies etc, is going to be very different from most people's experiences.
A lot of socio and psychopaths end up in acting. I used to teach drama and experienced some crazy students in my time. Some would literally take you down for a part in a play if they thought they could get away with it.
Show biz is also very over-represented with gay people. Apparently a majority of people working in Hollywood are gay, including most of the behind the scenes jobs. Its the same for the entertainment industry in other countries. Even at the BBC, so many male hosts present as straight and even married men with children, but they are gay like Edwards and Schofield.

Johnny Rotten was not a bystander, and I think those who carry around rumours in the media about predators have a duty to speak out just like he did.
I keep hearing people say this but he all he did was say something really vague once, it's not like he went on the record with national newspapers making a direct accusation? Unless I'm mistaken, did he say anything other than that really vague interview? He seems to want to claim credit for being a whistle-blower but he wasn't.
@@AshleyMillsTubeYou're correct
It was a vague suggestion, nothing more
Oh and I wonder why…
@@AshleyMillsTube he's never sought credit for anything, other than to warn people. You've taken a disagreeable stance to what was just an honest assessment and statement from Rotten at the time.
@@boltonpete Well let's look what he actually said (he's talking about a hit list of celebrities in a tongue in cheek bit) "I'd like to kill Jimmy Saville , I think he's a hypocrit. I bet he's into all kinds of seediness that we all know about but we're not allowed to talk about. I know some rumours "
And this wasn't actually broadcast at the time. As for not taking credit he says in the Piers interview "I did my bit", as if that was enough, saying something on a bit that was never even broadcast.
So he says he knew rumours, and mentions seediness.
I think the idea that he was trying to make an honest attempt to warn people is BS. If he genuinely knew kids were being abused he should have kept pushing it at every chance? No?
The only reason I am so disagreeable about it is that I keep seeing these comments saying "oh johnny rotten tried to warn us" a if he's some kind of hero for saying something really vague once and then never actually following it up. It's the over-egging of his role like he pulled a Snowden at the time that leads me to counteract it. Do you understand why it winds me up?
The fact that the word pedophile is blocked on a platform which routinely features underage girls 'modeling' lingerie (complete with a BS disclaimer) is beyond hypocritical.
We're no more than 10 years from the pedophile rights movement.
cant name who controls you
PDFile.
Andrew Gold had a paedophile on his last show. Still making money from the racist nonce Himmler clone.
I have to point out that 'underage' is not the same as PDF file. Most girls have adult like bodies by 14. I am not saying that it is right, but if someone is attracted to someone with all the signs of an adult body they are not a PDF file.
Mr S was a horrible man behind the cameras. I met him once, many years ago, he was visiting where I lived and loads of school children were there and very excited. He was horrid to them, dismissive, pushed them out of the way, curt and rude. Nasty piece of work. People only remember the TV personality....
So he didn't like kids then?
Many said the same, very sad
Yes he did it in plain sight unfortunately
@@angelmessenger8240 But the onscreen TV personality was in no way warm or avuncular. I think it was his eccentricity we all responded to. It was weird and easily imitated, so very easy to get a laugh with. The media was full of OTT characters back in the 60s and 70s. They were a TV staple. Compare that kind of celebrity to what's mainstream now. How generic and bland they are today. A lot of 70s personalities looked and behaved like they'd escaped from a secure unit.
I wrote to his, " Fix it," show, so glad he never responded! I wanted to sing with Dexies Midnight Runners to Come on Eileen. Dodged a bullet there, phew
My dad was a great dad. A great man. I never saw him growing up because he worked 70hrs a week. He wasnt a hollywood actor, he was a blue collar worker who just wanted a better life for his kids than he had. A life of abject poverty. Ive done the opposite. I refuse to work over, i refuse to tilt the "work/life balance" in favour of work. I dont work weekends, I take my boys camping, walking, to the park, teach them how to light a fire, take them to sports games, to watch or play. We arent here to work, we are here to help our kids grow up to be strong responsible adults. You can do that in a caravan or a mansion.
It saddens me that in discussing Saville, Raj Persaud fails to recognise his late colleague, Professor Anthony Clare, who was personally known to Persaud. In 1991 Clare conducted a series of interviews with celebrities on Radio 4, and then published them in a book called "In the psychiatrist's chair". Saville was one of the interviewees and Clare was onto him, although restricted in what he was able to say. The Irish Times notes: "In some unusually judgmental comments, Clare concluded that Savile was both calculating and materialistic, and Clare expressed a sense of foreboding, suggesting that there was some profound psychological disturbance in Savile, rooted in a deprived and emotionally indifferent childhood. While Clare was clearly intrigued by Savile, he was also disturbed by him and, in the end, found Savile chilling."

I like to speak up and don't comform when I'm aware of bad conditions transpiring, but I hate being singled out. It drives me insane when people complain and then remain a bystander. I'm left alone and without support.
You're never alone with a clear conscience. That's the best friend you'll ever have.
Fascinating, fantastic and completely engrossing interview. This should be prime time TV viewing. It educates.
I also found it very interesting 👍
I totally agree! 👍🏼
200,000…CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Great job, Andrew.
AND YOU GOT MARRIED!! Sorry, I missed that...Congrats!!
Excellent - haven’t dropped in for ages, went home page, ran down ep. list and scored with the good doctor.
It was riveting from start to finish, running along at a good pace, volleys from both ends sent back & forth across the net with equal intensity & charisma.
A rollicking informative convo sans too much work this end.
A success I would say.
Ta.
I was shocked watching the Jimmy Savile - A British Horror Story on Netflix. As an American, I had never heard of him. The fact that he was able to go into a hospital, take young girls for a drive, and be with disabled children, crazy! And all the many decades it was covered up and then he died so no retribution, awful. Money can buy anything.
Plus the Necrophilia.
Yes it’s rotten , British pm Starmer was human rights lawyer at the time and was paid well for this Case and got him off , it was riddled with corruption.
Predators always look for work where there's access to their prey.
Unfortunately including doctors, police
Gotta watch out for those dog groomers then.

So looking forward to this ! I haven't been disappointed yet with A.G. &
his guests. Always interesting & timely. One of my top 5 chans !
Great channel, I agree
It’s easy to cancel the BBC licence. I did it legally by phone in January 21. I even had some money returned to me. I don’t watch live tv and I don’t miss it
promises to be another really interesting discussion.
What an amazing interview .. hungry for more ☺️
Thank U
Great conversation! Well done ✅
Thank you Andrew - that was a great interview - and conversation. Dr Persaud has the unique ability to convey his knowledge, thoughts and opinions with clarity.
I love this format, you really get to learn and understand. Thank you Andrew the Brave
I'm not a TV watcher and haven't heard of Dr. Raj before, but he seems really knowledgeable and also personable. Really enjoyed this discussion, thanks!
Amazing conversation. Bravo.
One of the most, enjoyable heretics podcasts so far!
That was the BEST interview ever. Thank you so much for all your hard work and interesting guests. xo
the majority of people found guilty of possessing images of children being raped never do jail time in the UK
Disgusting!
In Australia either, a friend, a barrister said to me guess the reason why, they judiciary don't view it negatively
Most of the judges are paedos this is fact that's why they allow paedos filthy creatures go free
It seems you’re all too young to remember Frank Bough and his love of young women & white powder.

Raj Persuad resigned from his post at SLAM (South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust) in 2008 after a suspension by the GMC for dishonesty/plagiarism, not his despair at the bed crisis in acute mental health care (as stated). I worked for SLAM in the early 2000's and he was not well regarded professionally by his peers or the support staff.
I'm growing very fond of these 'Heretics' discussions Andrew, but you need to do a deep dive into your guest's history.
Yes! This is true
The NHS is run by managers and bureaucrats, and that was 16 years ago.
i was shocked that anyone was shocked that he relied on plagiarism.. i thought that it went without saying that everything that he said was regurgitated from somewhere else..
He's always been more interested in his media career and self promotion hasn't he?
I remember seeing him on the TV twenty or thirty years ago. On daytime magazine programmes. As their resident expert.
Yes, I second this. I was quite concerned to see this guest featured given his history as a medical professional.
19.30. Classic : the women look at me blankly and the men giggle nervously!
Gold giggles nervously!!😂😂😂
But he never explained why.
Trans - " ... people feel a certain way ... ". I am a bloke and not only do I have no idea what it 'feels like' to be a bloke but I have no idea how a man or woman could say how it is that they 'feel' they are of the opposite sex. I have asked friends of mine what does it feel like to be a man or a woman. None gave any sort of coherent answer. Some just said they didn't know. I admit I have read, somewhere on line, a list of life experiences by a woman, certainly a valid enough recounting, but they were experiences, not "feelings". I heard, at the three day hearing of the case Tickle v Giggle, in Sydney, Tickle, the bloke applicant who claims he's a woman, say, when asked what it feels like to be a woman, either (and I forget precisely which): "I feel psychologically I am a woman" or "Psychologically I feel I'm a woman". (It was one or the other.) But either one is so vague that it could mean anything, and, of course, can never be tested - and that's the way transworld wants it.
Yes, I just feel like me. I don't really ever think about being female specifically. I'm feminine too. I was in a university lecture once (in Australia) in about 2008 and they were talking about trans people ending their lives because they were 'in the wrong body'. I put my hand up and asked as a thought experiment can we imagine if we woke up the next day as the opposite gender, with no knowledge of our gender the previous day. Would an average person have that response? That was NOT a well received proposal by everyone in the lecture 😅 I wasn't even trying to be controversial. It was an honest thought!
@@squakke Thank you. That's great about the thought experiment. I am developing a couple so I can add that one. (BTW which uni in Oz? I have studied at six and taught at two - ANU and ACU.)
What it feels like to be a woman? Stretchmarks, tits that hang like a pair of flip flops, and pissing yourself when you sneeze is what it feels like.
This is how I feel. I don't feel like a woman I just am one. The experiences of females are similar and in some cases unique to being a woman ie physical/biological. I think people have a sex and personalities are on a spectrum. I loathe the word 'gender' now.
Exactly. If I’m a woman and can’t articulate how it feels to be a woman, how can someone who has never been a woman claim they feel like one? It boggles the mind.
Their were rumours about Jimmy savile from the 60s and it was true. The British government and the Royal family protected him till he died also he never ran his marathons either.
Freemasonry maybe...which seems satanic...they look after their own maybe its actually lucerferianism. As theyre all secret societies i doubt well ever have a complete explanation. Though malachi martin.s hostage to the devil was enlightening.
His secretary laughed when asked about his '200 marathons'
I don't think anybody protected Saville. He got away with it for so long because society did not understand how these offenders worked, and more importantly, did not want to know. It was the era of the "dirty old man" and it was almost considered normal for men like that to be lecherous (just look at some of the tabloids from the 1970s and 1980s). Saville was representative of how rotten society was in the 20th century.
Why did the royals and government protect him though ? Hmm - can't think 🤔
5 minutes in and I'm wondering if he has been able to diagnose his own narcissism .
And machiavellianism. He kept flattering Andrew throughout the whole interview, and speaking in the first person plural (we, you and I), manipulating that way Andrew to admit to agreeing with him. 101 of manipulated conversation. A few good points, but many more that are pretty bogus-sounding. I wish Andrew pushed him a bit more and showed more skepitcism.
Seriously! This dude is literally the exact predator he thinks he's warning people about.
I was thinking the same thing.
In 2008, Persaud was suspended from practising psychiatry for three months by the General Medical Council, having admitted being guilty of nine cases of plagiarism. He subsequently left his consultant position with the South London and Maudsley NHS trust.
His book From the Edge of the Couch contained material plagiarised from four academic articles written by nine authors. Four of his articles also contained plagiarised passages from an article and book by Thomas Blass, The Man Who Shocked the World. The case against him began after a complaint by the Church of Scientology.[5]
@@alistairclifton1286 Ooh....did this doctor hurt you? Why are you here and doing this?
Many years ago, the bbc had a series called ‘ in the psychiatrist’s chair’ with professor anthony clare. It was on a sunday evening and a calm enlightening wonderful series. Anthony was what one would hope for in any doctor, no matter their specialty. Sadly, anthony is no longer with us. And the bbc is no longer a place for education, peace or solace.
As a proud member of your audience bubble, thanks for this guest, he's very smart and very entertaining!
This was a very interesting discussion but one thing wasn’t mentioned that a lot of manipulative charmers use which is to play the victim so you feel sorry for them especially if they have been caught out. They know how to play on peoples emotions whether it’s being overly nice or being “vulnerable “ on what a difficult past they have had, etc etc.
Fascinating and insightful interview! Thank you very much!🎉 Dr, Raj also is kina funny - really appreciated this!
He's right about giving your kids strange names. I got lumbered with Leslie (I hate writing it even!). Yes, it is meant to be unisex, but it's not anymore. Lesley is a girl's name (just hearing that phrase in my own head fills me with dread). Nowadays it's most definitely female. Growing up with it led to exclusion, bullying, derision... My christ it was awful!
I gave my kids bog standard, British names. Normal, unremarkable names. So I could, even if I dropped dead after their names were on their birth certificate, protect them from something that ruined my day over & over again. The embarrassment, loneliness, physical & mental pain of ridicule & bullying of "having a girl's name" won't ever be a part of their lives.
Don't give your kids interesting or novel names. It fu*ks up kid's lives!
Yes, when I had my son I made sure to give him a normal name that he wouldn't grow up to be bullied over. I wasnt yet married to his father and my surname was a foreign one but i made sure to give my son his father's surname which was an English one. Children can be cruel to one another, for sure.
I’m a “Todd”; George Carlin does a great bit about “guys named Todd”…

This episode is up there as one of the best yet
In 2008, Persaud was suspended from practising psychiatry for three months by the General Medical Council, having admitted being guilty of nine cases of plagiarism after a complaint from the Church of Scientology.
Scientology probably had an agenda.
This guest is so on the ball. He speaks a lot of truth. I could listen to him all evening. Thank you for a very interesting interview 😊
We started comparing anorexia to trans about 5 or 6 years ago on mumsnet.
Yes! And last time I checked, we do not affirm anorexics by withholding food from them and performing liposuction to remove every ounce of fat to help them feel right in their body. Boggles the mind why we immediately look to surgically castrate children now.
My favourite interview so far. Fascinating! Andrew you are such a talented and gifted journalist.
Wow I'd forgotten about Raj. It's interesting to see him talking about bigger issues.
another brilliant episode. Raj is very listenable/watchable!
I always liked watching Dr.Raj Persaud on TV. Always good to hear anyone who isn't afraid to speak up!
Good to see him here, thanks Andrew!
I agree but he does look a bit of a dick in that hat. Hope he talks about Fred the weatherman too.
He was suspended for 3 months by the GMC in 2012 for plagiarism. The guy is a busted flush.
It seems fashionable to villify those who speak freely...im sure gmc...like the justice set upbis full of willing idiots.
@@bootsybadgerI can forgive that.

Oooooh ... this is so interesting that this guy is speaking out. I remember seeing him on This Morning I think was a regular in the past? And thinking what a nice guy. And then he seemed to disapperar. Will def be watching thank you x
he was accused of plagiarism, to do with some of the books he wrote. That's why he's not been around much
@@carolinethom3022Can these accusations be proven?
He was not hired after it was found out he plagiarized a lot of his work.
@@ConstantiaVerted Show me the proof that he plagiarised his work instead of just making assertions.
@@micklyons8858 that was the scandal. He admitted it and it’s on his Wikipedia page
Very interesting conversation! Thank you!
It is humerous watching Raj dancing around the trans talk. He doesn't want to talk about it. He's no Heretic. He's a conformist. 2 stars.
Yes, yes, yes, YES!!!!
Or he’s in a position where coming down on either side of it will heavily impact his ability to properly do his job.
He needs to be seen as someone completely neutral so he can help as many people in need of it as he possibly can.
If he were to nail himself down to one side of a demographic, or political ideology, he would lose any potential client who disagrees with him, and start getting nothing but people on the left, or people on the right, or people for this, or people against that.
He wasn’t put on the spot in that regard likely for that exact reason, but Andrew still thought he’d try and ask him some questions anyway to see if he could slip an answer through.
Not having a heated discussion on whether something should or shouldn’t exist doesn’t mean he doesn’t have his own personal convictions… but in his line of work, when you aren’t going to people, but they’re all coming to you, publicly coming down on any side of any divisive matter can severely negatively impact his livelihood. So you really have to take that sort of thing into consideration. There’s a huge difference in being a conformist, and just being respectful for the sake of not actively cornering a group of people into hating you because of what you think… especially nowadays.
…case and point - he couldn’t even NOT talk about it without you demanding that he’s a conformist lol.
- “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio…” lol 🤷🏻♂️
I read your comment before watching the video, now I've heard him I came here to comment. I thought he did a great job of describing trans as a trendy label to describe underling happiness and conformity and that there is usually a business model behind the label. He stuck to professional descriptions, as he has to if he wants to continue working!
"Humerous" lmao, perhaps you are not equipped to comprehend such complex topics anyway, Becca.
@@Xshathra006You claim an authority on intelligence yet conflate grammar with mental aptitude. You haven’t won, yet your desire to win a conversation rather than have one telegraphs only your clumsy lack of kindness.
Best episode yet Andrew, very erudite and clear interview, nice one.
Raj Persaud's 'insights' are not that profound. He says nothing here that even I couldn't regurgitate with a little research. I remember meeting him once many years ago (as a healthcare professional myself) on chaperoning a friend who was a very sick and fragile inpatient at the Bethlehem Royal Psychiatric Hospital and was appalled by his lack of care and basic bedside manner with someone so shaky and cognitively challenged. He introduced himself as 'Dr Persaud' (so much for 'just call me Raj' - probably because she wasn't famous and wealthy and he was already a media regular by then) and sat in coat and scarf with arms and legs crossed, barely pausing to listen and barking at her at a hundred miles an hour, appearing bored and wanting to be somewhere else. He came across as vain, dismissive and arrogant, so I was not shocked to read the comments below regarding the truth surrounding his exit from the NHS and how poorly he was viewed by his colleagues, because I clocked that about him within two minutes and would have agreed with them wholeheartedly. He is no Jordan Peterson or Helen Joyce.
I there's truth in that, he did get bloated by celebrity success and the hunger for success... atst he does know his field and is an adept communicator. You have to balance things: For every occassion you witnessed how many times did he also do a good job? Also the care sector imho can seriously lead to burn-out and the dark arts of neglect set in as such... imho I would say he's more insightful than Peterson with respect to the research field if not with respect to Peterson's angle which seems more foced on a holistic description of the self eg Jungian.
I work in mental health and he is unfortunately typical of a lot of psychiatrists that have no real psychological skills and walk around with arrogance and no empathy for the patients as they seem to see them as lesser than.
Unfortunately because he was on TV shows he's an attention seeking narcissist
Because of a so called Psychiatrist, I was nearly denied an operation. Luckily for me, the Consultant and Doctor were on my side. Interesting that the oddball left the hospital very soon after I complained to the Consultant......
Another great guest interviewed in an excellent manner.
Highly unlikely that hugh edwards will go to prison, most pedophiles and rapists do not get a custodial sentence

I don’t think anybody is actually “trans”.
...or gay.
@@musicians_with_gunts
I don’t know, if a guy was gay, and changed his sex, is he still gay or is he now cisgender. After all he is not gender dysphoric anymore so he can’t be gay either. No he, now she, is not trans either. Maybe while they were transitioning you could say they were trans, but once he had sex change surgery she is not trans anymore.
A completely unscientific concept. Absurd and medieval.
@@jillengland3277no such thing as CISgender, it’s a woke term designed to normalise degeneracy and has about as much validity as forcing someone to wear a yellow star.
@@musicians_with_gunts I don't know how you could come to this conclusion. People are definitely gay. That's just a preference that people are able to act on, and they do, and most do it with no regret or doubt. They're not being forced or pressured.
But no force in nature is actually able to change a persons gender, other than an overactive imagination. People who call themselves Trans are dealing with gender dysphoria, but gay people are just gay..
Really enjoyed this talk with Dr Raj, so interesting and yet sadly affirming. Thank you!
I agree that it's possible to survive anything. I've survived some terrible things, truly awful, but am still here... Not always easy to keep going but I try to focus on the good in life, as well as finding a way to help others who've been through the same.
war has shown the worst of human behaviour and the survivors prove his theory that it is possible to survive anything.
Before the video even starts; this is the best-dressed guest you’ve had so far. Love his style 😂
Come on, Andrew.... I love your Heritics podcasts, but please, don't play it safe with your guests! We are a country divided on wokeness... we need more 'guests' who are not bothered about what they say or who they upset!! I don't know this man but by listening to him he sits on the fence in a world where we need people ripping it down! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
He is a professional Psychiatrist who talks about what he knows but says 'more research needed' when not proved. That is a correct approach.
I love that Zappa and his wife named their daughter, "Moon Unit" but read her recent book "Earth to Moon." Very revealing and a healing journey for her. Child of celebrity. Born in 1967. I love her name but had no idea how difficult her life was due to the celebrity of her father and her relationship with her mother, etc. Good book. Her brother, Dweezil Zappa (another bizarre name but he doesn't mind!), tours playing his dad's music! Interesting family.
Really enjoyed this interview. I enjoyed him on This Morning years ago so I was disappointed when he was what we would now call "cancelled". Maybe there's more to what happened, maybe there isn't? Nonetheless this is a good listen.
The "villain" generally seems extraordinarily good at sniffing out the golden troublemakers and drumming them out.
Dr Raj always delivers. My favourite mental health guru for many years. I really enjoyed this episode Andrew.
He’s far from a mental health guru.
Just getting into your new channel Andrew and finding your interviews fascinating. Well done! Keep it going! 😊😊🤗👍
The reason he gives for leaving the NHS is interesting. Put his name and "suspended" or "struck off" into a search engine for the truth.

@@AmonAnon-vw3hr If it was the Scientologists, who are absolute nuts, then the accusation is doubtlessly bogus.
Unfortunately that's what these corrupt organisations do, take a look at the baby killer, covered up doctors who took action were discredited. The NHS is exactly like the BBC
Brilliant episode! The time flew listening Dr Raj 👍🏻
What an interesting interview. I really enjoy listening to someone who is so articulate.
You bring some seriously good and intelligent guests on, and you ask intelligent questions that cut right to the important points.
These are dense conversations, which makes them easier to listen to. So many other podcasts are 3 hours long and mostly nothing.
You get the best people on Andrew , this is such a fascinating conversation .
Why are the worst criminals only discovered or uncovered after they've died?
Saville was protected. He probably had lots of blackmail information on lots of people
Because they have friends in high places who protect them, because those friends themselves are immoral.
It costs a lot to go to court and defend yourself against allegations that you committed libel.
Because of the law of defamation. You can't defame the dead, so journalists are only free to be honest/reveal scandals after the death, sometimes in their pre-written obituaries.
Wow Andrew, that video went so quick ! Would you have Raj back on plz? I really enjoyed hearing him, just fantastic! 🇦🇺💚👍🏻
Easily my favourite episode of your Heretics podcast, Andrew. Amazing interview and interviewee.
That was very enjoyable and educational. Thank you!
A very intressting episode indeed!
Best guest yet, and a fantastic conversation.
Loved that this guy came dressed as a Wimbledon umpire.
He is a dead ringer for David Hockney, the exact clothes.
Amazing interview! Thank you to both of you - Dr. Persaud, I could listen to you all day, you're insight is fascinating! Thank you Andrew, for bringing this to us!
That was great! Very interesting chat, thanks.
WOW great interview and insight THANK YOU BOTH.
A very interesting conversation of two intelligent men! What a pleasure to listen to you. Thx.
Ummm. Persaud is a fraud and Gold is maybe mid average intelligence.
Struck me as two men unafraid to have and voice their own ideas. Refreshing.
@musicfuhrer you know it was the Church of Scientology that got him struck off? Lol
Weird that they have that power.
Absolutely fascinating talk! Loved it.
Let's face it, Gold's guests are not people you'd want to sit next to at a dinner party.
At least you would get through your whole meal without being asked a question 😅
Not if you're what he's describing
True, didn't he have the dull, boorish & supercilious Richard Dawkins on at some point...?
the dinner guest from Hell...
Brilliant conversation. Excellent questions from Andrew & insightful, excitable answers from Raj. Slight & humorous banter. These 2 should have more exposure. But unfortunately we know why they won't.
An excellent discussion. Huw Edwards epitomises the rank rotteness of the BBC and much of the mainstream media. Andrew you're doing an outstanding work here, keep it up and the excellent guests you choose. Well done you !
Great interview! Loved this! :)
He avoided answering the question about why so many celebrities are having transgender children. I wish I could have asked him to address it directly.
I think it’s part attention and social contagion.
It’s very likely they are ignored and it’s a potential way to get attention from the primary caregiver who has most influence in the family (aka the celebrity).
My suspicion is look at hollyweird, mostly disturbed narcissist
Great interview but just me more determined to stop paying my TV license 😡
Show business is not a microcosm of real life. Not in the mix.
Almost by definition it attracts far more than its fair share of attention seekers and narcissists. So the dynamic of relationships within show business, movies etc, is going to be very different from most people's experiences.
A lot of socio and psychopaths end up in acting. I used to teach drama and experienced some crazy students in my time. Some would literally take you down for a part in a play if they thought they could get away with it.
Show biz is also very over-represented with gay people. Apparently a majority of people working in Hollywood are gay, including most of the behind the scenes jobs. Its the same for the entertainment industry in other countries. Even at the BBC, so many male hosts present as straight and even married men with children, but they are gay like Edwards and Schofield.
Great interview 🙌🏻❤️
