Recently, “former BBC presenter” Andrew Gold has pulled his nose up from under Meghan Markle’s skirt (after stalking the woman for 3 years to make gossip videos), noticing (what a shock!) that his audience was full of racists and anti-Semites, some of whom would like him deported from the UK, where he was born, for being Jewish.

As someone who has been waiting patiently for this to happen, I will say it again: don’t make content tailored to neo-Nazis for money, and then act surprised when they show up. This is your crowd now.

The journey took a few years and was based on enrichment and personal success.

Was Gold an actual BBC presenter?

Technically, because they bought and aired his freelance documentary. That means he was on screen when it aired, and it was aired by the BBC. But that was it. The way he frames his history with the BBC is exaggerated and inaccurate, to boost his legitimacy. He was not a BBC employee.

In January of 2024, taking instruction from Musk & company, Gold started inciting intensely against Muslims, portraying them as a threat to the UK (suggesting that they should be either converted or deported, perhaps, without saying it explicitly). He has maintained the same line ever since, interviewing people like Katie Hopkins (who once compared asylum seekers to cockroaches), Liz Truss (who is now podcasting from the vegetable patch) and Reform mouthpiece Laila Cunningham.

Gold and his ilk (cough-cough, Konsatantin Kisin, who sounds like he takes lead with his coffee daily) have amassed large audiences, initially from the premise of being enlightened centrists who refused political extremism. Oddly enough, all specimens labelling themselves as such only had criticism for the left and over the years, leaned so far to the right their stances could not be differentiated from it 99% of the time. It was therefore a false label and a grift, appealing to more people by pretending to be moderate in their views.

Do they have genuine beliefs? Hell knows. They are doing this for money and popularity after all.

These weaselly types mainly discuss abstractions (cancel culture, “wokeism”, freedom of speech etc.), while being uninformed and unsophisticated regarding current events, for which they cannot provide actual analysis, as a journalist would. They speak in broad terms; they suggest, they ask questions designed to elicit the same response from interviewees and viewers: that the left and its support for multiculturalism is a threat to so-called western civilisation. In other words, they start with the conclusion and make everything fit around it.

They represent the polite society version of thugs like Tel Aviv Tommy, using a soft tone, allusions and an air of naivety to push their propaganda across, as if they were in the same boat as confused viewers, trying to decide how to interpret this point in history.

Their claim of being moderate and against genuine bigotry should have everyone in hysterics by now – their current content only attracts the far-right, causing an increase in hatred towards ethnic and religious minorities. Their claim of being against racism, while constantly inciting (pardon me, suggesting and asking questions politely) can go right up their arses.

For these reasons, they deserve everything they get, in terms of identity-based attacks, unlike the unsuspecting victims of their viewers’ bigotry, however that is manifested.

The shitstorm

In the video screenshotted below, the guest, Steve Laws, was dubbed Britain’s biggest racist by Gold, who seemingly wanted to depict himself as the opposition. At some point during the interview, Gold asked if Laws wanted him deported from the UK as well. The answer was yes. Gold feigned shock and dismay (he is, after all, white, and not the stereotype vocal fascists tend to target today; however, he is Jewish, namely the so-called great replacement is directly blamed by fascists on his ethnic group).

Queue the comments in support of the anti-Semite’s honesty. From Gold’s own audience. Perhaps a few supporters of Laws, who weren’t typically watching, stepped in as well, unexpectedly. But this should be no surprise.

Oh, the shock! The horror!

Who the hell did Gold think was with him in targeting immigrants, Muslims and people of colour? Surely not the neo-Nazis, who hate Jews as well (even more perhaps)!

“You wear British identity as a skinsuit” – 497 likes.

As a group, they constantly repeat that “England is gone”, but when Gold parrots it back to them, they find it insulting and threatening at an existential level. It infuriates them to the point of wanting him thrown out of the country (where he was born and according to him, his family has lived since before the 1900s).

The Overton window has shifted to the right, making Steve Laws’ discourse acceptable to part of the population. In this paradigm, Gold, who incites hatred on the daily against a variety of groups, becomes a “virtue-signalling liberal”. At the back of his mind he surely knows what would happen to him if these psychos achieved their fascist utopia. But he doesn’t care. It pays well now.

The subversive “tiny hat mafia” (they mean Jewish people)

A few years ago, one would’ve censored blatant antisemitism in their comment section. Or blatant racism. It was not acceptable. Now it’s everywhere and content creators don’t even bother, even if comments spread delirious conspiracy theories that have been very harmful in the past, leading to pogroms.

Gold may object fundamentally to such statements, as they target him directly – however, he has no issue pushing the thoughts and sentiments behind the following:

Gold is being cannibalised by the Cerberus he has fed for years. So he can eat shit. Pardon my language.

Did he learn anything genuine from this? Of course not. His next video:

In his discussion with Laws, he further pours fuel on the fire by claiming the following: “Everyone I know is Jewish and none of them are pro-immigration”. Evidently, people in his personal circle are all right wing or far-right (there likely is no distinction nowadays). Is he insinuating Jewish people are against immigration in general? Does he speak for them?

This is as precious as the moment Dave Rubin realised he’d been propagandising for people repulsed by his gay marriage and the birth of his children through surrogacy. However, he swallowed hard and continued grifting, as it paid the bills. It still does, for the time being, until the Trump administration starts going after gay people as well (they will surely be met with local resistance and fingers crossed, the madness will stop at some point).

Catering to Nazis and Zionists at the same time

As previously mentioned, there are two types of fascists currently: Zionists, represented by Farage and Tel Aviv Tommy (who now shills for the UAE as well), and neo-Nazis, who blame the world’s ills on Jewish people, based on conspiracy theories propagated by the original crowd in the 20th Century. These two groups have everything in common apart from their approach to Judaism; they unavoidably end up mingling in the same spaces, fed their daily dose of hatred by the same grifters. Neo-Nazis are seen as fringe, compared to Zionists, who often appear in the media, as the acceptable face of fascism.

Propagandists like Gold try to cater to both, inciting hatred against all minorities apart from Jews. Both categories share a rabid hatred of Muslims, whom they regard as an imminent threat to the so-called west, as well as white supremacist views. They are selling a product after all – and like any salesman, they like a broad market.

There is no one left in their audiences apart from fascists. No decent person would tolerate their generalisations, scapegoating and incitement, whatever else they may be doing on the side (like Gold’s exploitation of cult victims or Thomas Sheridan’s talks on spirituality, which are now either a political instrument or used in personal vendettas). They have painted themselves into a corner; whatever happens in the future, that’s what they will be known for in perpetuity. They have no choice but to continue.

Gold could have been an honest, respectable content creator

Even if he was only doing it for profit, without caring one iota about the social issues he was discussing. It still would’ve worked.

Gold’s venture on YouTube started in a captivating manner: by making content on cults and extreme religious sects, interviewing people whose stories needed to be heard. This deservedly caught a lot of interest. All he needed to do is find them, contact them, arrange interviews and ask questions. He wouldn’t have run out of material or people willing to speak out. Ever. People would’ve tuned in organically. Everything would’ve been ethical.

He likely got this idea from the success of a documentary he had made, about a sleazy so-called exorcist in South America. And it was working – but not quickly enough, as it was organic and it required a modicum of effort.

He wanted overnight fame (and its corresponding revenue). He didn’t give a shit about the path taken to get there, whether moral or not. Just numbers. He was honest at the time that “topical subjects” (celebrity gossip videos) were very useful to his channel.

In 2022 he discovered the “narcopath” grift and ran with it, employing cheap tactics I described in this post. These could only remain unnoticed by an audience of low intellect. His audience became stupider overnight. He then boarded the “stalk Meghan Markle 24/7” train, which brought in more flotsam, in droves. His subscriber count skyrocketed. First to 100k, then 200k, now almost 800. He began focusing on the content that brought in more views, as opposed to his original niche.

Lastly, and having amassed a right-wing audience through said methods, he pivoted to interviewing “controversial figures” on the right (far-right, quite often), courting the supporters of Tommy Ten Names. After October of 2023, he was, of course, activated against Muslims and took it from there.

He pushed the lie (debunked shortly after) that 40 decapitated babies had been found in a kibbutz. The media as a whole was spreading this at the time, with zero evidence, but remaining respectful to the fake decapitated babies nonetheless. Gold went one step further and chose a tabloid title: “Hamas did THIS to 40 babies”. I can’t seem to locate the video now (unsurprisingly). This is a clickbait tactic – as it says on the tin, it baits people to click, wanting to find out what “this” refers to. Disgusting beyond words. Assuming he believed the story, the first thing the thought of was how best to get the most clicks out of it. That’s Gold in a nutshell.

Please excuse the fact that I keep including AI analyses; they are very well-structured and explain these points succinctly. For instance, the fact that Gold’s trajectory on YouTube was driven by the algorithm, not necessarily an ideological shift, and how this happened over the years.

This is, of course, not unique to Gold, but to a plethora of content creators chasing numbers and revenue, only to end up having to pander to fascists and their purity demands.

The right wing paradox: impose austerity, yet demand larger families to preserve the white race

I shouldn’t need to comment on the idiocy. The people constantly combatting welfare programs simultaneously wish to see white people have more children they cannot afford to raise. The thinning of young generations and need for immigrant workers won’t change if non-white people are expelled, as Trump is attempting to do in the US.

Furthermore, swathes of white nationalists aren’t merely concerned with race, but with immigration in general, including from other parts of Europe. Many in Andrew Gold’s comment section refer to Englishness as needing to go as far back as 1066. They surely haven’t taken a DNA test themselves.

Many propose a return to patriarchal control of women, including taking away women’s right to vote, and women’s freedoms in general. They argue that this will ensure population growth, while the same population remains impoverished by the capitalist system they support. It will never work and it will never happen. Removing ethnic minorities does not solve the ethnic majority’s problems.

Their vision of the future, as they describe it, is pure fantasy.

Thinking like them doesn’t suffice

Here’s a conversation from Gold’s comment section, initiated (presumably) by an immigrant (or British person of colour) willing to pander to this crowd ideologically, while not being exactly like them.

Full circle: Gold half-apologises to the neo-Nazis who want him deported…

He even phrases it as an apology in this YouTube post:

Like a good whore whose mortgage or other financial commitments depend on the continued attention and praise of today’s fascists. Which is not surprising.

To avoid copyright issues, I won’t reproduce most of the text, which you can find on his website. In a nutshell, while he does distance himself from the more extreme parts of his audience, he starts using their language about demographic concerns.

The last section is very revealing:

The poor soul still thinks invoking Israel, the state committing genocide in Gaza and mass land expropriation in the West Bank, as well as killings and pogroms, towards ethnic cleansing, is a good example that will earn him understanding or sympathy (from anybody). Regarding maintaining a demographic balance off all things.

A cultural shift is not what’s needed to encourage having children. An end to poverty is. But as a staunch capitalist, he won’t mention the financial aspect behind people having less children.

He echoes their concerns back to them: continuity is threatened. This is a nod to the great replacement theory.

Gold describes his grift in a YouTube post – it was always about money and fame.

It’s not even subtle. He does attempt to describe his latest pivot, to far-right content, as one triggered by genuine dissatisfaction with the state of his country. However, that is preceded by paragraphs of admitting he had been chasing a better financial situation, in vacuous ways (celebrity gossip videos) as well as being “on screen” (visible, recognisable, famous, the main character).

So he taught himself how to make documentaries. But he only made one, and swiftly chose a different career path. Perhaps because he sold it for “peanuts” after “two years of calling and emailing hundreds of TV channels”. DEI-related allegations, or whether the BBC wanted to actually hire him in the first place, just “off screen”, were never confirmed or responded to by the BBC and never detailed by him.

I recall him celebrating 100k, when he was covering Meghan Markle 3 or 4 times a week. It’s honest of him to mention audience capture. He doesn’t realise how slimy it makes him look, and how apparent it is that many of those videos were made not for a legitimate reason, but because the audience demanded more, and he had to keep feeding it. Even absolute rubbish (it all was, to be fair). His other videos weren’t doing as well, so he kept having to excrete rumour-based videos on Meghan.

Scientology-based channels exist, which cover the cult in real time. One can never run out of things to say, unless news is quiet. The truth is that Gold used Scientology as SEO, even pasting Tom Cruise’s face in thumbnails for completely unrelated content, for clicks. He used the subject of cults to climb a ladder, content-wise. He wasn’t actually invested. He learned the bare bones and basic vocabulary to have a conversation on this subject, just like he did on Cluster B disorders.

More likely, he already had a right-wing audience, the type that is obsessed with Meghan Markle, whose stalking and dissection caused his channel to balloon in size.

They are not sensible and calm views. They are fascists views expressed in very polite language, or dog whistles to ethno-nationalists.

“Trans is a ridiculous and illiberal concept” – as in people having gender dysphoria and needing a sex change? It’s an illiberal concept? Regardless of other phenomena around sex and gender, he surely acknowledges that some people on this planet are actually trans? No, of course, he doesn’t.

Fearful my arse!

In a climate dominated by GB News, Talk TV, Farage on screen more than he shows up in Parliament, marches led by the likes of Tel Aviv Tommy and so forth – fearful my fucking arse. Do you see a news story every other day about a corruption scandal? A billionaire? A millionaire? No, but you do see one about immigration, to the point that Starmer is starting to sound like Enoch Powell.

Grifters like Gold (or Sheridan) are so shallow and so intellectually lazy that they repeat slogans, concepts, mantras from years ago (they were equally false then), although the political landscape keeps changing dramatically, at a fast pace. There is no acknowledgement of that. They don’t diverge from the script; they speak as if it were 2015. They all do this (Kisin as well, obviously). This was never reality; it was a narrative they all adopted and keep making money from.

Let’s analyse this one as well (I love the clarity and conciseness).

Finally, and I guess you’ll have to take my word for this, as he seems to have deleted these videos. Gold turns anything into content, including videos he knows for sure are based on inaccurate stories. I can give two examples:

Some time in 2022, he rushed to record himself reading a tabloid piece on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry being involved in Scientology. He realised while recording that it was nonsense. He giggled and apologised, but left the video up. It was still up months later, when I found it. Anything using their names attracted clicks, so what the hell?

Before Amber Heard settled the case with Johnny Depp (December of 2022) , Gold recorded a talk with one of those sleazy YouTube lawyers discussing celebrity disputes for clicks, opining on the outcome of the case. Gold scheduled the video for publication in January of 2023. The lawyer’s assertions and predictions were incorrect. When the video came out, it was both irrelevant (the case had been settled) and wrong (predictions were incorrect). Did that stop Gold or cause him to delete the video? Not at all. He justified publishing it as it was his content and there on a pre-established schedule. Even though it had no value to anyone and could have been misleading. There was no mention in the description of the actual outcome of the case, as that would cause people to not watch.

Again, Gold in a nutshell. It’s rubbish, but it’s my rubbish and I should make money from it.
