Liam Rondi on Collective Action, Transphobia & Breaking Ofcom Records

The Pieces with Bimini

Thursday, 23 July 2026 - 52 minutes

Liam Rondi is an activist living in the south of France who has become an unexpected champion of accountability in mainstream media.

With a Substack dedicated to exposing journalistic failures and media bias, Liam has built a following around unflinching critiques of how British television weaponises rhetoric against marginalised communities.

After years of witnessing homophobia and transphobia become normalised on breakfast television, Liam decided to do something radical: he created a complaint generator, mobilised a community, and broke the Ofcom record for complaints against a single broadcast segment.

On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Liam dive into the formative moment that politicised him and how he was inspired by transphobia on TV to attempt to create accountability.

They talk about the pattern of demonisation of LGBTQ+ people in the media, the reality that transphobia opens the gates to homophobia, why collective action matters and how teamwork breaks records.
