How do powerful institutions handle the most uncomfortable allegations — and what happens to the detectives who won’t look away? In this uncompromising interview, former Scotland Yard officer and whistleblower Jon Wedger sits down with Andrew Gold to detail his claims about institutional culture, media gatekeeping, and accountability in the UK — including the BBC’s role in stories many would rather avoid. Wedger explains how investigations stall, how reputational risk can trump public interest, and why speaking out can carry professional and personal costs.

Inside, Jon outlines the mechanics of pressure as he experienced them: sudden reassignments, muted media interest, and a reluctance to “join the dots” across agencies. He describes operational blind spots that, in his view, let offenders exploit gaps — from fragmented oversight to under-resourced teams — and he sets out practical fixes: independent auditing, stronger whistleblower protections, better data-sharing, and victim-first safeguarding.

Andrew keeps the conversation tightly focused on evidence, timelines, and procedure, pressing for specifics while giving Wedger room to present his case. Rather than sensationalism, this is a granular look at how cases move — or fail to move — from tip-off to prosecution, and why some lines of inquiry stall without clear explanation. Wedger also reflects on the cost of persistence: isolation, reputational smears, and the quiet message that some questions are not to be asked.

Whether you agree with his conclusions or challenge them, Jon Wedger’s testimony raises urgent questions about transparency, editorial courage, and the public’s right to know. If you care about safeguarding, the integrity of policing, and media accountability, this episode will test your assumptions — and demand answers.

All claims discussed are presented as Jon Wedger’s allegations and viewpoints for public-interest discussion.
