A landmark tribunal has ruled that Islam critical beliefs are protected under the Equality Act, and the man at the centre of that historic decision, Patrick Lee, sits down with Jonathan Sacerdoti for his first full, unfiltered interview since the judgment shook Britain’s institutions. Patrick Lee is an actuary who never sought public attention, yet found himself monitored, censured and threatened by his own professional body for simply quoting Islamic scripture and raising concerns about extremism, women’s rights and child protection. His case exposed a troubling truth: Britain has become far more comfortable policing offence than confronting doctrines that harm the vulnerable. In this powerful conversation, Lee explains how he went from a quiet private citizen to the unlikely figurehead of a legal battle about free speech, Islam and the limits of criticism in a supposedly liberal democracy. He details how the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries secretly scrutinised his tweets, why the tribunal finally defended his right to speak, and what his victory means for every citizen who refuses to lie about reality. This is not just a story about one man. It is a warning about what happens when fear governs public life, when institutions appease extremism, and when silence becomes a national reflex. 👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand why Britain is losing its moral courage — and why this ruling may be a turning point. 💬 We Discuss: 📜 The tribunal decision protecting Islam critical beliefs in UK law 🕌 Why Lee began scrutinising Islamic doctrine post 11 September 📚 The violent Qur’anic and hadith texts he publicly highlighted 🧕 How teachings on women, girls and child marriage shaped his concerns 🚔 The grooming gangs scandal and the culture of enforced silence 🏛️ His regulator’s secret monitoring of his social media 🧩 The critical distinction between attacking ideas and attacking people ⚖️ How sensitivity culture now outranks child safety and women’s rights 🔥 The reach of cancel culture inside British institutions 🕊️ Why free speech is the essential foundation of democracy 🇮🇷 The role of Masih Alinejad’s warnings about Iran in the context of his tweets 🧠 The moral duty to speak when everyone else is afraid 🔔 Subscribe for more fearless conversations about Britain, freedom and the fight for truth. 🎙 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/53OXMwbAnnVt3CtFvhLqKt Watch advert free for paid subscribers on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/jonsac/p/his-islam-critical-beliefs-are-protected 📲 Follow Jonathan On X: https://x.com/jonsac On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/ On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com 👇 Comment below — Does protecting criticism of Islam mark the beginning of Britain’s free speech fightback?

The BBC is facing its biggest crisis in decades — but the scandal isn’t just about two resignations. It’s about years of skewed reporting, buried corrections, and a newsroom culture that has normalised bias while persuading the public that it stands for impartial truth. In this revealing conversation, Hadar Sela, co-editor of CAMERA UK and one of the most meticulous analysts of BBC coverage anywhere, joins Jonathan Sacerdoti to peel back the layers of structural failure inside the BBC: the habits, blind spots, and editorial decisions that have shaped public perception of Israel, terrorism, and the Middle East for over a decade. What you’ll hear in this eye-opening discussion: 📺 Why years of complaints and warnings about BBC bias were ignored 🧩 How “mistakes” always seem to land in the same ideological direction 📰 The hidden power of the BBC’s archive as a distorted historical record 🚨 The Gaza hospital story: a case study in misreporting and zero accountability ⚖️ Why the “what we knew at the time” defence has become a shield against truth 🧾 How the BBC relies on activists, partisan NGOs, and compromised sources 💣 Why Palestinian terror attacks are almost never reported — and what that omission achieves 🧠 The newsroom culture that discourages dissent and buries internal criticism 📉 BBC Verify: why the fact-checking unit often amplifies misinformation instead of correcting it 🔍 How corrections arrive months or years late, quietly, and without transparency 🗂️ Why an external investigation — not internal reforms — may be the BBC’s only hope 🇮🇱 How skewed reporting has helped normalise public debate about Israel’s very right to exist 🔻 The human cost of selective storytelling: Israelis displaced, traumatised, or killed yet barely covered 📢 What an independent complaints system could look like — and why the current process is broken beyond repair 🎧 Listen to this episode if you want to understand not just what has gone wrong inside the BBC, but why it keeps happening — and why so many journalists, former staff, and media analysts are now calling for radical external oversight.

Erin Molan is one of Australia’s most recognisable broadcasters – but after 7 October 2023, her life changed. In this powerful conversation, she speaks openly about the day she decided silence was no longer an option, the threats she faced, and why she now sees the global rise in antisemitism as an existential test for the entire West. We talk about her journey from sports journalism to political commentary, the moment she realised Australia’s response had crossed a dangerous line, and what she discovered on the ground in Israel when she chose to witness the aftermath of the massacre for herself. Erin also reflects on media failures, the silence of political leaders, and the deeper cultural forces shaping younger generations. Topics you’ll hear in this conversation: • Erin’s early career and the transition from sport to geopolitics • The moment 7 October reshaped her worldview • What she learnt in Israel and why it stayed with her • Australia’s reaction – and what it revealed • How media narratives have distorted public understanding • Why younger audiences are vulnerable to propaganda • What real allyship means to her, and why she believes the fight concerns everyone Originally broadcast live on the channel of the United Synagogue.

The most powerful images in today’s pro-Palestinian campaigns aren’t new — they’re borrowed from Christianity. From the Madonna and Child to David and Goliath, centuries-old sacred symbols have been re-cast to portray Palestinians as modern saints and martyrs, reshaping Western sympathy through religious familiarity. In this gripping conversation, Professor Miri Rubin (Queen Mary University of London), one of Britain’s leading medieval historians, joins Jonathan Sacerdoti to expose how the emotional grammar of Christian art has been weaponised for political ends — and how its echoes are visible everywhere from social media to pop culture, from the left to the right, and on the front pages of global newspapers. What you’ll hear in this fascinating discussion: 🕍 How Jewish imagery shaped medieval Christianity — and its legacy in Western art 🕊️ Why Christian iconography still dominates moral storytelling today 📸 How propaganda reuses sacred imagery to provoke emotional reactions 🧠 The psychological power of the “mother and child” pose in photojournalism ⚔️ Why Palestinian PR borrows visual language from Christian Europe 💀 How medieval blood libels echo in today’s online antisemitism 🎭 What modern culture learned from the Church about emotional persuasion 📷 The blurred line between journalism, activism, and visual manipulation 🤖 How AI images will intensify the next wave of ideological propaganda 🎧 Listen to this episode and discover how the ghosts of medieval art haunt our digital age — and how understanding their origins helps us see modern imagery more clearly.

Michael Gove, former Cabinet Minister and one of Britain’s most articulate conservative thinkers, joins Jonathan Sacerdoti for an unflinching conversation about the perilous state of Britain — a nation he says is “desperate” and in danger of moral collapse. From Islamist extremism on British streets to the cowardice of the political class, Gove warns that antisemitism is not a Jewish problem but a British sickness — a sign that the West has lost its faith, its confidence, and its sense of right and wrong. He argues that Islamism, like Nazism and Marxism before it, is a totalitarian ideology — one that Britain’s elites have failed to confront. He calls out the Foreign Office, the media, and academia for their naïve hostility to Israel, their indulgence of terror sympathisers, and their betrayal of Western civilisation’s own values. In this powerful and wide-ranging discussion, Gove reflects on the rise of Farage and Reform UK, on Tommy Robinson, on Israel’s fight for survival, and on the need to rediscover Britain’s Judeo-Christian moral core before it’s too late. 👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand how the West lost its nerve — and how it might just find it again. 💬 We Discuss: ⚰️ Britain’s growing antisemitism — “a tragedy that bears examination” 🕌 Islamism, the new totalitarianism replacing Marxism 🇮🇱 Why hatred of Israel reveals hatred of the West itself 🏛️ The Foreign Office’s “permanent bias” against Israel 🕍 Attacks on synagogues and the illusion of Jewish safety in Britain 🎭 The far left and far right meeting in antisemitic conspiracy 🚔 Two-tier policing and surrendering Britain’s streets 🎤 Tommy Robinson, Farage, and the politics of rebellion 🏴‍☠️ The ideological alliance between Islamists and neo-Nazis 📚 How Britain’s intellectual class lost its moral bearings 🕊️ Judeo-Christian values as the foundation of liberty and equality 🔥 Why losing faith means losing civilisation itself 🔔 Subscribe for more fearless conversations about Britain, freedom, and the fight for truth. 🎙 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0qkgSo1kvoAXoZnqCVROYF Watch advert free for paid subscribers on Substack. 📲 Follow Jonathan On X: https://x.com/jonsac On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/ On Substack: https://jonsac.substack.com 👇 Comment below — Has Britain already crossed the line into moral surrender? #MichaelGove #JonathanSacerdoti #Britain #Islamism #BritishPolitics

When Israel agreed to release hundreds of convicted terrorists in exchange for its hostages, Tal Hartuv discovered that one of them was the man who stabbed her 18 times and murdered her friend. In this deeply moving and unsparing conversation, Tal speaks to Jonathan from Jerusalem, describing the impossible emotions of watching her attacker walk free — anger and disbelief mixed with relief that Israeli hostages are finally coming home. She reflects on her survival, on the moral price Israel is being forced to pay, and on the West’s complicity in distorting that reality. From the BBC’s “prisoner exchange” headlines to Labour’s recognition of a Palestinian state, she argues that Britain has lost its moral bearings — and that these lies have consequences measured in blood. This is a story of justice and betrayal, faith and fury — and of a survivor who refuses to let others decide what her suffering means. 💬 In this conversation: 💔 Watching her attacker’s release after 14 years in prison 🇮🇱 The unbearable dilemma of hostage deals in Israel 🧠 The long road from trauma to resilience 🇬🇧 How British media and politics helped shape the crisis ⚖️ Why “peace” without truth is just surrender 🕯 Hope, faith and the choice to keep living 🔔 Subscribe for more conversations about truth, trauma and the struggle for moral clarity. 🎧 Listen on Spotify: 📲 Follow Jonathan On X: https://x.com/jonsac On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/ On Substack: jonsac.substack.com 👇 How should justice look when the price of mercy is this high? #TalHartuv #JonathanSacerdoti #Israel #Hostages #BBC #Labour #FreeSpeech #MediaBias #Hamas #Terrorism #MoralCrisis #UKPolitics

This is Tommy Robinson as you’ve never seen him before. In his most intimate and revealing conversation yet, Britain’s most controversial activist sits down with journalist Jonathan Sacerdoti, who asks the tough questions — about violence, Islam, Israel, fear, family, and the future of Britain. Branded a far-right extremist by his critics and a free speech champion by his supporters, Tommy Robinson (born Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) reflects on the chaos, the pain, and the conviction that have defined his life — from founding the English Defence League to surviving solitary confinement, therapy, and relentless media attacks. As he accepts an invitation to visit Israel by the country’s Minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, he discusses what he learned during his last visit about propaganda, jihad and the Israeli reality the media refuses to show. Nothing is off-limits: the grooming gangs, his own regrets, the accusations of hate, and his belief that Britain is sleepwalking into cultural collapse. This is not a defence — it’s a reckoning. 👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to understand the man behind the headlines — and why he still believes he’s fighting for Britain’s soul. 💬 We Discuss: 🧠 The emotional cost of activism — therapy, fear and redemption 👩‍👦 What his family endured while he became a national villain 🚨 Grooming gangs, police cover-ups and the price of speaking out 🕌 Islam, jihad and the media’s manipulation of public fear 🇮🇱 Why he was invited to Israel — and what he learned there about coexistence and conflict ⚖️ Allegations of extremism and the line between courage and recklessness 🎙 The failures of the press, politicians and police — and what happens next for Britain If you enjoy these videos, you can donate to support this and other educational activities: https://secondtablet.org 🔔 Subscribe for more fearless conversations on Britain, identity and truth. 🎧 Listen on Spotify: 📲 Follow Jonathan On X: https://x.com/jonsac On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/ On Substack: jonsac.substack.com 📲 Follow Tommy On X: https://x.com/TRobinsonNewEra 👇 Comment below — Is he a warning, a hero, or a symptom of Britain’s decline? #TommyRobinson #JonathanSacerdoti #FreeSpeech #BritishIdentity #Extremism #Islamism #MediaBias #GroomingGangs #Israel #Antisemitism #unitethekingdom #CivilisationCrisis #UKPolitics

Kellie-Jay Keen — known globally as Posie Parker — is the women’s rights campaigner behind the “adult human female” billboard and the viral call for women to “Free your face” from the niqab. In this fearless conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, she challenges Britain’s cultural taboos: from niqab and who gets to wave a flag, to 'grooming-gang' euphemisms, transgender ideology, surrogacy, and the fragile social contract that used to hold public life together. Speaking with blunt clarity and lived intensity, she recalls being mobbed in New Zealand, touring the US and Australia under threat, and why she keeps going: because women — and children — pay the highest price when polite society refuses to name reality. 👁‍🗨 Watch if you want to hear an uncompromising defence of women’s rights, a critique of Britain’s double standards on race and culture, and why “being nice” is not a plan for freedom. 💬 We discuss: 👩‍⚖️ The meaning of “adult human female” — and why truths matter 🧕 “Free your face”: testimonies from women living behind the niqab 🏴 British flags vs Palestinian flags — how Englishness became controversial 🧩 Grooming-gang euphemisms and the cultural double standards that enable abuse ⚧ Transgenderism, fetish vs identity, and the costs of medicalisation 👶 Surrogacy, donor conception, and children’s rights to biological bonds 🏥 Why private freedom ends where the public contract begins 🚨 Being mobbed in Auckland, armed protection, and why she refuses to stop 🏠 Why liberating women transforms families, children — and societies 🗣 “Say the unsayable”: confronting taboos without cruelty or capitulation 🔔 Subscribe for more fearless interviews. 🎙 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3AmG2XbVFO7I47Lzk43xoH 📲 Follow Jonathan On X: https://x.com/jonsac On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonathansacerdoti/ 👇 Comment below — Where do you draw the line between private freedom and the public square? #KellieJayKeen #PosieParker #WomensRights #FreeYourFace #EnglishIdentity #Niqab #FreeSpeech #TransgenderDebate #Surrogacy #GroomingGangs #UKPolitics #JonathanSacerdoti #Islam #LetWomenSpeak
