What happens when a veteran detective says the system is policing itself — and protecting itself? In this gripping interview, former Scotland Yard officer and whistleblower Jon Wedger sits down with Andrew Gold to detail his claims about Freemasonry’s influence inside UK policing and the culture of silence, cronyism, and retaliation he says he encountered when he tried to raise the alarm. Focusing squarely on Wedger’s testimony, this conversation explores how informal networks can shape careers, block investigations, and punish dissent.
👉 How, according to Wedger, do Masonic ties and internal loyalties distort decision-making?
👉 What happens to detectives who challenge powerful colleagues or uncover inconvenient truths?
👉 Which operational blind spots — from evidence handling to oversight — make it easy to bury cases and hard to protect whistleblowers?
Wedger walks us through the mechanics of pressure and pushback: sudden reassignments, reputational smears, and the chilling effect that keeps good officers quiet. He explains why he believes transparency, independent auditing, and whistleblower protections are non-negotiable if the public is to trust the badge. Andrew presses for specifics — paper trails, procedures, and practical reforms — while keeping the focus on evidence, process, and accountability rather than personalities.
You’ll hear why Wedger thinks departmental careerism and fear of embarrassment can trump public interest, how investigators are discouraged from “joining the dots,” and why some lines of inquiry stall without explanation. Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, this is a rare, first-hand account that raises urgent questions about governance, ethics, and the duty of care inside British policing.
If you care about the integrity of institutions — and the people brave enough to challenge them — don’t miss this episode.
