OLDER NEWS

24th February 2008

Another piece by Tel Currie:

I fear for the morality of this great nation of ours. A nation that has been through so much in the last century and has been forced to take up arms to avoid oppression on more than one occasion. Now, it would appear governments are admiring and even copying the oppressor rather than the lessons that can be learned from the oppressed. Must justice now revolve around the idea of crushing a man's spirit and then waiting hauntingly & ghoulishly whilst looking at their watches for the body literally to be crushed as well. Will they not clock off until a man is buried deep in the earth, a technique rejected by even the most barbaric of country's?

What more can a slow grinding system do to Ronnie Biggs? Even the dimmest of us know this system has ground itself so hard it has dug, stumbled and fallen into a hole it can not climb out of! We all know the only idea they actually have is to wait for Ronnie Biggs to die. This is not just deserts, it's a complete lack of imagination and ideas.

This inspiring system was used on Reggie Kray. The system killed Reg Kray. The correct check ups and treatment would have diagnosed cancer in time to save him. I for one, refuse to believe they wanted to save him. His death solved too many problems for them to resist, it was a glorious open goal that even the worst striker in the world would have made sure he did not miss even with his weak foot!

So they told him it was nothing to worry about and for crippling stomach pain gave him two paracetamol at a time, an amount I wouldn't bother with even for the mildest of headaches!

Then, when it was too late, up jumped a cancer diagnosis!

Oh dear, where could that of come from ... whoops-a-daisy.

The system has Reg Kray's blood on it's hands and the people responsible are probably rather proud of it.

Now we have the same ingenious method being used on Ronnie Biggs. The difference between Reg and Ronnie Biggs is huge. Biggsy was no real villain, he was a desperate man who was skint. He was not feared like Reg because A) that's not in him and B) he was a carpenter NOT a gangster. He was not a threat to society then, so what does that make him now?

Like Bronson, Kevin Lane & Razor Smith, Biggs is a non-killer unlike, the government who keep them in jail for being naughty! How many young men & women have politicians killed over the years? Ha! Ha! ... It's almost funny... almost. It's like Peter Sutcliffe putting you in prison for G.B.H.!!!

Think of those who unleash hell on Iraq & Afghanistan, then think of a near 80 year old man who can't talk and has had numerous strokes who sat in a lorry watching an unarmed robbery over 40 years ago and has never hurt a sausage. Who's the evil party here? Well the old bloke obviously! He obviously has no morals. "Ooops... sorry that was a civilian shelter we blew up but isn't that Ronnie Biggs a nasty man, isn't Charlie Bronson violent?" Violent????? Ha! Ha! Ha! Good one!

The War mongers obviously don't think we are intelligent enough to work out what they are doing. The fact that a brain dead lemming with amnesia could work it out is more a reflection on them than us. It would surely be a vote winner if, whilst invading the world, the system also showed a small capability for compassion by letting an old man out of prison over forty years after his extremely minor part in a crime.

MR politician, we are not that stupid. Show some imagination, show some compassion, show some justice and you might ... just might ... regain some of the respect you lost years ago.

To all the lads

16th February 2008

This just in from my good pal, Tel Currie:

Hi Jason,

Me old China!!!

It's your pal Tel here.

How's it going out there in the big bad world?

Is Jesus Macintyre dead or has he risen yet?

And I always thought Roger Cookie Monster was bad...well, he was! Last time I saw him was on celeb (Celeb???) Big Bruver when he just touched the top of the lead reinforced throne with his ample buttocks and the whole BBC studio TV centre came crashing down (you could just catch Jan Leaming flying past an outside window!) Anyone remember that? Probably not.

How many REAL friends can Macintyre actually have? He has the Cliff Richard effect, a face you just want to smack! How in God's name can you take 344 hours of footage... 344 hours!!! Cut it down to the very worse bits you can find, wobble on the edge of entrapment (Falling off many times in my opinion.) Present it to court and get a man sent to jail based on a TV programme! If that was the basic plot for a novel, you would have to say " We have to make it more believable than that... Who's going to believe that?" Most people know how I go on and on about the toffs who rule the legal system and how normal folk assume it's right most of the time. Have you ever seen a judge? Put it this way, you wouldn't let them look after your kids!! Have a read of Jason's book if you think the scales of justice actually balance. Find out more about Ronnie Biggs, Bill Boal or Kevin Lane if you think compassion or even getting the right person comes into it as long as the public think they have, find out about Colin Stagg and Barry George. So when a smarmy, self righteous, conceited, had his dinner money nicked at school, well bullied, virgin until he was 26 tosser minces into court, carrying a video compilation with about 343 hours hacked out and the worse bits left in... you knew Jason Marriner and Andy Frayne were in trouble!

Anyone who is actually pleased at sending another man to prison is scum (unless they are a nonce. Even then, you should want to prefer to deal with them yourself)

Good job you didn't cause trouble at a polo match Jase, you would of been beheaded! Anybody who has had just a fleeting experience with the so called 'underworld' will tell you Macintyre's programmes are absolutely shit. The right people who a lot about some of those he makes whole programmes on and trust me, it's beyond belief. With the exception of about 3 I have seen, the rest have a history we shall call chequered. The programmes are for those who know no better. You are insulting your own intelligence by watching them! If you think 'Macintyre's Underworld' is how it really is, you must also be convinced that Rocky Balboa was up there with Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson and Jack Dempsey!!

The sad thing for our Donal, is that he can't even bring anger out in people who don't like him (Which is a lot!) He doesn't have the right qualities to produce anger. He is not a hate figure for the wrong doer's while he stands proud for the good folk. He is worse than that... He is a joke! He makes people laugh AT him NOT with him when he's trying to be Clint Eastwood. The bloke just makes you giggle. You just know for a fact that if you confronted him he would cry!! He's not a threat, Inside he is and always WILL be just the same spotty, bullied, friendless, girl less, joke he was at school. The loser who always wanted to be a hero but his fate was to be a zero. Even Jason finds it hard to get angry about this tosser!

Jason, I'm glad you are on the 'audience with' circuit my good mate. This man has a proper story to tell you that reaches a lot further than football and football violence. It describes the difference between 'Them & Us' just like Howard Marks shows do, there is a much, much bigger picture than football & drugs ... GO AND HEAR IT FROM THE LADS WHO HAVE BEEN THERE!!!!

See you soon Jason.

Respect,
Tel Currie

29th January 2008

In memory of Tel Currie Snr. A real man, gentleman and legend never to be forgotten! He will be missed.

And now, just because you keep asking me, here's a couple of the many recent emails I've received:

1st January 2008

25th December 2007

14th November 2007

About a month ago I went to China on business, forgetting that Chelsea were playing abroad. Now, I'm supposed to hand my passport in to Old Bill when that happens, so you can imagine what happened on my return. Three officers boarded the plane when we landed in Blighty and arrested me and I ended up in court, where the beak handed me a hefty fine. I had a right go at beakey, told him he was just a sweet shop owner and that I wasn't taking that from him, so I appealed. Well, today I had my day in court, told my story (I have never missed a signing at the cop shop) and the judge quashed the conviction. Hooray for the great British justice system!

Someone else who had their sentence quashed today was Barry George, exactly as I predicted on the 5th November.

5th November 2007

I'd just like to make a prediction that Barry George will walk out a free man at the end of his second appeal against his conviction for the murder of TV presenter Jill Dando. The only scientific evidence against the man was two tiny specks of residue from the discharge of a gun on his overcoat a year after the shooting.

4th July 2007

A message of good news and hope from Mike Gray:

RONNIE BIGGS WAS TRANSFERRED FROM BELMARSH PRISON (CAT A) YESTERDAY MORNING TO NORWICH PRISON (CAT C)

Good Morning,

Michael Biggs called me yesterday to say the Home Office had contacted him, and it would not be made public until this morning (Wednesday, July 4), and the story is already in The Daily Mirror.

This is absolutely great news for Ronnie, Michael and Myself and all connected to The Free Ronnie Biggs Campaign, as we have never given up on Ron and maintained a high profile Campaign, by writing to Her Majesty The Queen, numerous Home Secretaries, etc.

As a regular visitor to Belmarsh to see Ron, I can fully understand when Michael told me yesterday that Ronnie was “crying” with excitement.

I would personally like to thank Giovanni Di Stefano for his efforts in getting Ronnie moved, God bless that man.

Thank you once again to ALL OF YOU who have supported Ronnie over the past 6 Years, written to him, visited him on a regular basis (Yes Tel & Roy I mean you two) and anyone who is supporting our cause… THANK YOU.

Norwich Prison (Healthcare Wing) is where Reggie Kray spent some time in July 28th, 2000. How ironic Biggsy has gone to the same Healthcare Wing, in the month of July. Ronnie is 78 years Old on August 8th.

Should you wish to write to Ronnie and welcome him to his NEW HOME the details are:

RONALD ARTHUR BIGGS

BIRTHDAY
JASON

From
Mal and associated pals

17th June 2007

Thank you to everyone for coming to my 40th and having a good night. They came from north, south, east and west. London, Sunderland, Sheffield, Peterborough, Northern Ireland, Norfolk, Wolverhampton, Stockport ... all corners of the realm. I'd like to thank them all for a blindin' night and the respect they showed me.

God Bless them all. My message to them is: never give up on your dreams.

No Surrender,
Jason x

11th June 2007

Special thanks to Vinje for inviting me over to Norway to play for the Chelsea Norwegian supporters team in the tournament and the book signing and for his hospitality while I was over there. I had a great time. While I was on the pitch I was approached by one of their plain clothes coppers who told me: "We know about your background Jason. We have had complaints from the anti-Nazi league about you being here and we'll be keeping an eye on you." Well, I'd just like to say that that little confrontation did not spoil my rhythm or my fun one little bit while I was over there.

And to Wes, yes mate, I look forward to having a pint with you next time round.

8th June 2007

I'm off to Norway to play a little football and attend a book-signing that's been arranged by good friends of mine over there. I'll let you all know how it goes when I get back.

2nd June 2007

Congratulations to Disco, who ran the Manchester Run for charity and came a very respectable 462nd out of 28,000 in 41 minutes and thirty four seconds.

Great news for everyone (including OB): my sidekick Andy Frain, aka Nightmare, got out on tag yesterday.

Congratulations to my very old friend Dave Flynn and Lorna, who are getting married today in Sheffield after being together for 16 years. I'm on my way up for the service and festivities pal.

30th May 2007

Who saw that prick MacIntyre making a total pratt of himself (again) on MacIntyre: Edge of Existence (Five) last night? The Guardian obviously thought it was a total farce and you can read their report on the show at Donal MacIntyre's dangerous hunting expedition is about as daring as a stag party.

19th May 2007

GOOD LUCK LADS

Ready for history in the making and a lot of sore heads in the morning from all the partying

10th May 2007

A very old and dear pal of mine has recently been diagnosed with cancer and goes for his first chemo-therapy session on Monday, so I would like to wish him all the best. We held a benefit for him last Saturday and I'd personally like to thank everyone who attended ... you know who you are. My pal would like to thank everyone too, especially for the almost thirteen grand that was raised to help him. Special thanks to Ginger Bob of Millwall, Boatsy from Nottingham Forest, Lewisham and all the other lads from other clubs who came to support the cause. I salute you all.

23rd April 2007

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

12th April 2007

You can see me being interviewed about English hooliganism on ITV News tomorrow at 6 pm and 10 pm.

The following is an email correspondence with someone calling themselves Wil:

Hi Jason

In my opinion I think it would be far better to leave Mr Charles Bronson where he is as all the fuss yourself and other celeb ex-criminals etc are causing will only make the powers that be more stead-fast regarding his continual confinement.

C. Bronson is no longer a security problem. He has been 'moved' using restraints only to placate him as he likes to be seen by other cons as unpredictable and disruptive. Sadly, this is all he has and, if he were to be placed on the wings he would be vulnerable to attack by fellow prisoners.
He is not a young man and would struggle greatly if he were released owing to his inability to adjust and, would require a great deal of time and care in order to adjust to life on the outside.

Regards
Wil

OVER MY DEAD BODY THE MAN SHOULD BE FREE!!!


Hi Jason

I agree with you, he should be free. I've been in hospital with CB, I don't know him but I know of him and, for sure, he needs to be started on a release program so he can start his life again.

People who have been in hospital or prison for a long time don't just get released. There's a good chance they'd top themselves or do something daft and end-up re-called to hospital.
What I'm getting at is that he would benefit from less negative attention. Even the hospital staff acknowledged that the media seals peoples fate not the offence.

I'm not a smack head or crack head. I beleive society has more to fear from nonces that CB for sure, but unlike a lot of people I've seen loads stuck in the system, but no one cares about them.

There'll be a good loyalist day out 28th July when Rangers play Chelsea at Ibrox. The Blues Brothers are meeting in a pre-season friendly so there will be plenty of fun and loyalist tunes.

TOGETHER WE STAND!!

26th March 2007

Today is a twenty first anniversary. It was twenty one years ago today that Old Bill dawn raided Steve Hickey Hickmott during operation "Own Goal" ... and what an own goal it was! Steve wound up with nearly £100,000 in compo and let me tell you: he ain't even touched it yet. He's still living off the interest! Good luck to you Steve from your pal Jason. No Surrender!

P.S. So where's that pint you promised to buy me when we travelled away to Rotherham in 1982?

17th March 2007

Thank you to Darren and Alison for the invite to Alison's 40th tonight. But on a day like to day I'm afraid I have to refuse to go to any pubs or clubs. Just 'cos your auntie's dog was once taken for a walk in Kilburn don't make you a Paddy. So let's get today out of the way and look forward to celebrating Saint George's Day on the 23rd April in proper style!

3rd March 2007

First of all, my heartiest congratulations to Darren McDade and his missus on the birth of their son, Joshua Charlie McDade. Darren is the son of Charlie Bronson's sister, Lorraine, which must make Joshua Charlie's grand-nephew. Anyway, Charlie is chuffed to bits at the latest addition to the family, as are the whole family.

More congrats go to Ian Sim "The Twin" and his wife Jenny, who just found out that they're expecting their first - a new addition to the Chelsea Youth.

Joey Pyles funeral went off very well, with over 2,000 attending. All of the chaps there, the likes of Freddie Foreman, Roy Shaw and Dave Courtney.

And finally, a get-well-soon to my good pal Tel Currie who broke his scotch egg.

14th January 2007

My agent asked me if I'd to do a TV show with McIntyre to see who comes out the cleanest. Of course I said "Yes!" I'd relish the chance of going head to head with that ****.

Unfortunately to date (3 or 4 months) McIntyre don't appear to have responded, so I can only assume that his anal sphincter has gone into spasm, causing an excess of skid markings in the underpants department.

Come on McIntyre: if you're so self-righteous, convinced of what a great and good person you are and that you were right to do what you did then let's get it on face to face, discuss it like men and let the nation decide! Problem is, without the ability to hide behind a disguise, lie about being a big drug dealer and be able to edit the results into oblivion to achieve the effect you want you just can't cut it.

When was the last time you managed to deliver a live news report like REAL reporters do? Oh, sorry, I forgot -  you've been too busy investigating what a hooligan that weather is and how scary sharks are. What's next? How some nasty anti-social volcano nicked your mobile phone and lap-top (with trackers in 'em, of course)?

Oh, and just a quiet word in the ears of Steven Gudara, his wife Delma and James Yawona from Papua New Guinea. Be very careful and don't let McIntyre stitch you up like he does everyone else.

While I'm on the subject of that mongrel, I hear he's becoming a father. Well, I truly hope from the bottom of my heart that his child grows up healthy and wise and doesn't inherit his dad's unscrupulous and devious nature. I'd hate to think of that innocent kid learning how to go round offering all kinds of stuff about drugs in order to get a moody story.

11th February 2007

AN AUDIENCE WITH JASON MARRINER

Yes people, there's an Audience with Jason Marriner coming up on Thursday 22nd February at Cristalz Wine Bar, 29 London Road, Twickenham, TW1 3SZ starting at 8.00 pm sharp. Tickets are priced at £15.00 each or you can buy two at the very special price of £20 the pair! To obtain tickets please phone Leon on 07734 735499.

This is your chance to ask Jason any questions you might have about the McIntyre saga, the court room shenanigans, what Prison was like, how people are treated in prison or his old hooligan days, so get down there and ask.

4th February 2007

Recordings of Charlie's voice are rarer then hen's teeth, so unless you're a personal friend of Charlie's it is unlikely that you will ever have heard his voice.

Well, now you can! Charlie has issued a Limited Edition CD called "Dead Man Talking" and you can own it for the bargain price of ONLY £9.99.

This is a WHEN-THEY'RE GONE, THEY'RE GONE! deal. There will only ever be 1,000 of this Limited Edition CD in the possession of the world-wide population.

OK, Hard Sell over. Buy it just 'cos you want to hear him.

FREE CHARLES BRONSON

I was gutted to hear the news that my pal Charlie Bronson has had his request for a review of his appeal turned down. Charlie has been in prison almost continually for 32 years now and has spent 28 of those years in solitary confinement. Now his hope for release lies with the Parole Board, who have never seen fit to give him his freedom in the past. Charlie needs all the help and support we can give him and I urge all of you to look at his website www.freebronson.co.uk and his MySpace page and join the growing army of people who want to see an end to this injustice.

Now I've got that off my chest, here are some more of the emails I get:

13th January 2007

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!

First off, I'd like to send belated best wishes to my pal Rob and his wife in Holland for the birth of their first daughter, Amber.

Next, a bit of news on Andy Frain: he had now been decatogorised and will be moving prisons soon. I'll keep you all informed about his whereabouts.

Speaking of prisoners, to all you good people who read about my good friend Neil Holland in the newspapers who outrageously got four years for a minor scuffle with Man City fans. Please do not forget to write to him if he's a friend of yours. The address is Neil Holland, XD5344, HMP Manchester (used to be Stangeways), 1 Southall Street, Manchester, M60 9AH.

On Thursday I was involved in some filming of Carlton Leach's new film "Rise of the Foot Soldier". Also, Liam Galvin of Gangster Videos has asked me play a main character in his new film project, which he's in the process of writing. Apparently there are some exceptionally good looking women involved. I'll keep you all informed.

25th December 2006

16th December 2006

Mal tells me that there's a new gallery of photos from last months Awareness Event on the Free Charlie Bronson website. There's even a couple of photos of me on there.

"And what have you been up to?" I hear you ask. Well, I've been busy importing. You know the latest craze, Healys? Well, I've just got in a few thousand of them called "J's Wheelies" and they're selling fast, as my source is a lot less expensive. Strewth, they go for £60 to £70 in the shops and I'm knocking them out at £35 to £40 a pair. If you're interested in buying any (especially if you want them wholesale) then just email me. You won't be disappointed, as the quality is every bit as good as the more expensive ones in the shops now.

5th December 2006

It's been a busy time for me over the past month, hence me being so quiet on the website. Add to that mine and Mal's involvement with the Charlie Bronson campaign and show a couple of weeks ago and there hasn't been much time for attending to me own web site. The Bronson Event up in Derby was a blinding night, so if you weren't there (why not?) you missed something very special. I do hear that there may be another one some time in the New Year down in London, so keep yer eyes peeled on Charlie's website for announcements ... plus all the other interesting stuff over there. Speaking of which, it's Charlie's birthday tomorrow, so Happy Birthday Chaz from all of us mate.

10th November 2006

I've been abroad on business for the past couple of weeks, so a massive apology to all those who have purchased my book or DVD from the site. All the orders are now being dispatched and you should be receiving your items very soon. The same goes for all of you who have been emailing me.

To email me direct, simply click on jason.marriner@hotmail.co.uk

6th November 2006

A message from Mark Fish to say that Spearmint Rhino are sending two stretched Hummers packed with 20 of their girls dressed in black cat suits to the Charlie Bronson Event on 19th November to help hand out literature. Remember, entrance is by ticket only, so if you haven't got yours yet then give Gary a ring on 07968 019095.

I've banged on about writing to prisoners before. Now there's a new forum in town. Prison Chat UK is an online community giving support to those who have a loved one inside the British prison system. Whoever is inside, be it your mother, father, wife, husband, sister, brother etc, and no matter what they have done, you are welcomed there. It is Prison Chat's hope that you find the answers and support you need at a testing time. Having a loved one inside can leave you feeling lost, lonely and betrayed. They are there to help you get through it!

A small error has crept into the press release issued regarding the Free Bronson event: the phone number for tickets is 07968 019095 (Gary). Thanks to OK and HELLO magazines for pointing the error out.

28th October 2006

The film "Bronson" is slated to start production on 1st February 2007 and will shoot in 15 different locations. The film's producer, Danny Hanford, will be at the Free Bronson event, along with Tom Hardy (Layer Cake, Sweeney Todd), who it is expected will play Charlie in the film. Also, the film's casting director will be at the event looking for people to be in the film. There are a few character parts left to fill, as well as plenty of extras.

The following just in from Mike Gray:

Chaps,

Last Week The Daily Mirror, ran a Story on Ronnie….. “BIGGS BRAZIL APPEAL”

Ronnie’s Lawyer Giovanni Di Stefano said Ronnie is making a last ditch bid for Brazilian Citizenship, Which if accepted by the Brazilian Government, Ronnie could be Freed straight away and deported to Brazil, where he spent over 30 Years as a law abiding Citizen.

Giovanni said “This avoids Home Secretary John Reid making a decision on a Very Sick old Man”, “It is Biggs ticket to Rio, to be with his Family rather than be in Belmarsh”

If returned Ronnie would be FREED, under Brazilian judicial law, as his Crime was over 40 Years ago.


Giovanni Di Stefano is working endlessly on Ronnie’s behalf, and We all thank him so much for his efforts,

I will update, when further Information is received,

Thank you All on behalf of Ronnie & Michael Biggs, for your Continued and loyal Support,

Ronnie is now 77 years Old, and has Served 5 Years & 4 Months, to date.

They will NOT be sold on the door and they will go on general release next week in the local press (if there are any left!), so get yours quick or you won't get into this "Event of the Year".

4th October 2006

Coinciding with the Charlie Bronson event announcement below, I am happy to report that the Free Charlie Bronson website has now been re-launched.

evening mate, iv just read your book and felt i had to mail you to tell you what an out & out stitch up i thought the whole situation was. after the 344 hours of footage they had fuck all on you yet you still got 6 years, its not on. throughout the first part of your book i was very open minded but once it got to the offical transcripts i couldnt believe what i was reading. i tell you something else as well i think you did very well not to get drawn in to the other things he was trying to get you involved in, i think its fair to say had you have done his class a removals you would probably have been still been away now. a few of my mates watched the bbc panorama agents/managers bungs programme last week & asked my opinion on it & i said you know what lads dont believe a fucking word of it, ill let you read my book then you will never believe anything on that programme ever again. anyway moving on i hope you earn a few quid out of the book, dvd, website ect because you deserve to & im sure one day mr mcintyre will have the misfortune of bumping in to the wrong person, what goes around comes around & all that.

good luck, keith
bradford city & england.

There's a new article about MacIntyre in the Articles Section. Click here to read MacIntyre and Celebrity: The Two Faces of Donal.

Mal has made me a My Space page. You'll find it at Jason Marriner (and his page is at Mal).

9th September 2006

Sorry to all those of you who have emailed asking why the site hasn't been updated for a couple of weeks. It's simple ... I've been away somewhere nice and sunny, recharging my batteries.

First things first, deepest and heart felt sympathies and condolences from myself and all the Chelsea Old School to Chris "Chubby" Henderson, who has recently lost his father.

Now, some of the emails that have arrived while I've been away:

24th August 2006

Did anyone see MacIntyre on Channel Four last night? Blimee, you could have knocked me down with a feather when he demonstrated that if you leave your laptop on the front seat of a flashy unlocked motor parked next to an estate … it will get nicked! Bit like wandering round Brixton for two nights flashing your laptop and mobile about, innit Donal? The only amazing thing was that it took an entire hour before some likely lads started to break into a bullet proof Audi parked on an estate in Leeds, where he had left a video cam in full view on the front seat.

Then he moved on to the "Crime of the Century": parking in disabled bays. Yeah, I know it's ignorant, but honestly! He was sounding more like Wogan by the minute and was almost creaming himself when he got the guy in the Lambo to move.

Then we had a camera in a police car attending an RTA. Don’t they do that already on things like “Stop! Police!” and a couple of dozen other similar programmes?

And those “Tricks of the Trade” … has that arse got Saint Vitus’ Dance or something? All that moving edgily around his pet grasses and constantly shifting camera angles circling and circling. Dramatic … not!

He had his “Big Sting Hero”, a bloke who is going to film vandals, but apparently hasn’t got anything yet and his team dressed in “Macintyre’s Big Sting” T-shirts. Pathetic!

And the stings? Three young lads got arrested and … wait for it … one got a sixty quid fine, one a conditional discharge and the third got a caution; a very young couple were embarrassed when his cameras and lights set up camp outside their house. Yeah, sure they had his camera, but wasn’t he sooooo understanding when they “found” it? He was even trying to put words in the young lad’s mouth. About the only valuable thing he did was got an Albanian car-thief deported … and that was from a previous series.

The twat was recently quoted as saying: "This show is really to celebrate the victim - I take the view that, at some stage, adult criminals have to take responsibility for their own actions." As far as I could see, most of the victims were named Donal and most of the criminals were youths.

“Big Sting”? Let’s ‘ave it right, it was more like a “Little Attempted Gnat Bite”.

22nd August 2006

Congratulations to my good pal Andy Fraine aka Nightmare and his missus, Kelly, on the birth of their new son. The lad only weighed 1lb 1oz at birth, but he's getting bigger, better and stronger by the day.

17th August 2006

I'd like to congratulate my good pals Darren Crewe and Elaine on the birth of their son Ryan.

To my very good friend Paul Brooker, my very sad condolences on the death of your dad Mick Brooker. Mick was a man who I knew for 20 years, who used to watch me play football and always treated me with the utmost respect; he was never once interested in the MacIntyre saga 'cos he knew me for who I really was. Mick was a man who loved a few pints, his cigarettes and his football. He died quietly in his armchair watching football on the TV with a ciggie in one hand and a can of beer by his side. I'll be attending Mick's funeral today.

Another sad loss was the mum of another very close mate, John Sawyer, who is a life-long Chelsea fan, a very upstanding gentleman and known and respected by many.

14th August 2006

Apologies to anyone who was looking forward to my appearance at The Clink, but Chris the Greek, who was organising it, appears to have gone off on a mission. I'll let you all know when it'll be on.

13th August 2006

Just a sprinkling of received emails:

10th August 2006

I'd like to thank all the people who came from all corners of Great Britain to support Chelsea against Celtic last night. I'd also like to thank the Celtic supporters for paying us a huge compliment:

Wherever they go they take over the places with 10,000 to 15,000 supporters and it was not too long ago when Celtic played Fulham and over-ran the place with their horrible colours. But this wasn't the case last night, as they could only muster less than 3,000. Fulham is only a mile down the road, so maybe the extra mile was too far for them to travel from Kilburn and Cricklewood.

So, for all the Celtic fans who have been logging on to the website and sending me silly emails, I'd like to thank you, 'cos I can't stop laughing. Here's hoping we see you in the Champions League, although I'm not so sure that you'll see it like that. Happy days.

Last, but by no means least, I'd like to thank the policeman who told me last night that he liked my website and that it's "a good 'un".

Oh, and in case you haven't noticed, Mal has given us a live feed to the latest news stories from Hooli-News on the right hand side of this page.

7th August 2006

You may have read an article in today's Daily Star entitled "Footie cops fear Battle of Britain" in which I got a considerable mention. The following is an email sent to The Star by me:

Dear Sirs,
I note the article "Footie cops fear Battle of Britain" makes prominent mention of myself. I should like to point out the following:

1. I haven't spoken to anyone from The Daily Star. The comments attributed to me are taken from an article originally published in "Sunday Life" (16th July 2006). Those quotes are wholly untrue and were never made by me.
2. I never actually went to the Linfield Rangers game, despite the report in the same article.
3. I don't live in Stevenage.
4. Anyone who knows anything about Chelsea and Spurs would know that they would never "join forces", as there is far too much history between them.

I hope this clears things up.

You can read the original Sunday Life article, entitled "Skull Thuggery", over at Hooli-News.

2nd August 2006

If you remember, back on 10th February we carried an email from a friend warning about a BBC undercover operation in Germany aimed at "uncovering" hooliganism. I carried the email on this page "as a reminder to be careful to all those lads going over to Germany in the Summer." Well, the resulting programme "Hooligans" is being shown on BBC1 tonight at 9 pm. You can read a brief review from The Times over at Hooli-News here and the BBC programme information says:

"The shocking untold story of the 'Time to Make Friends' World Cup 2006 - the mindless violence, the racism, the unseen riots and the running battles in German cities as the police tried to protect the hundreds of thousands of genuine fans who were attending the sporting extravaganza."

"Undercover cameras reveal the ugly face of the beautiful game and capture the true extent of England's shame as hundreds of yobs sing, swear and scrap their way across Germany."

... and remember: you read about it here months ago!

By the way, my DVD recorder is in for repairs, so if anyone out there could do a DVD recording of the programme and send it to me via Mal I'd really appreciate it.

26th July 2006

By popular demand, the Find a Prison link is now built into the main menu at the top of the page. You'll find it under "Contact".

19th July 2006

The judge said: “The prisons are full. That is the state of our prison system in this country. It is quite ridiculous.” Many prisons are severely overcrowded, 13 holding more than 1,000 inmates .

The jail holding the most is Wandsworth in London, with 1,463 prisoners, compared with the recommended capacity 965. It means lags are cooped up for 23 hours a day.

I don't know how many of you read those words in an article in today's Sun entitled "8,000 extra crims caged". Now, let's have it right: having almost three years of experience of Wandsworth it's the only prison still run by the POA (Prison Officers Association), so I can honestly say that they're not on a 23 hour bang up because of overcrowding, it's because the screws are all in the clubhouse round the corner and all the time they're in there the cons are behind the door and the screws don't have to look after them.

Any day can be hard in prison, but when two of you are cooped up together in a 6' x 10' cell for 23 hours a day it becomes a real problem. So I'd just like to say please, please don't forget your mates in prison. Receiving a letter means an aweful lot, so get writing.

To help, Mal's put a little Web Magik page together where you can find the address, phone and fax numbers of any of England and Wales' prisons. Click Find a Prison to find one.

17th July 2006

Mal's put together a page of "It's Only a Game" reviews from Amazon. If you go to the Buy Book page you can follow the link from there.

14th July 2006

I'm now back in sunny London, having missed my flight back 'cos I was having such a good time and I'd like to thank all of my people over there for their warmth and hospitality. It was an honour and a privilege to meet so many Loyal people from all over the United Kingdom.

12th July 2006

Right at this moment I'm enjoying the wonderful hospitality of the people in the Rangers Supporters Club in the Shankill Road, Belfast and I'd like to take the opportunity to wish you all my very best on the Glorious 12th.

7th July 2006

Today is the first anniversary of the London bombings and I want to send love from myself and all my family to my fiance Julie's cousin, Martine Wright, who lost both her legs on the Aldgate train in that act of terrorism.

We still get a lot of nice emails and you seem to like reading them, so here's a couple more:

4th July 2006

Like all England fans, I'm gutted at England going out ... and the way it happened! I blame Eriksson myself. Wayne Rooney wasn't getting the ball and I'd like to think any Man U supporters (or away supporters) will BOO Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo for 90 minutes every time they go to Old Trafford. Did you see the way Ronaldo ran up to the ref and grassed him up? He ran out of ink like Shakespeare, so I can honestly say that I wouldn't wanna get nicked with him, cos imagine being in court with him! He'd sweat like Harold Shipman in the dock. He pointed the finger and grassed in a matter of 2 seconds. Now I hear that the ref, Horacio Elizondo, is reported to have said "Sven-Goran Eriksson came into the locker room after the match and congratulated me for an excellent performance and said that I was right to send Rooney off because it was rough play."

Wayne Rooney was fouled but I believe he was too honest for his own good, staying on his feet as he did. Keep going Wayne ... we all support you.

MARRINER IN THE CLINK

26th June 2006

Right, first off I'd like to thank Graham for sending me down some excellent CDs and Rangers badges. Thanks a lot mate.

And thank you too, to Mikey for the following:

19th June 2006

I'm on Mike Medoza's Talk Sport tonight at 10.40 pm for a 15 minute phone in.

18th June 2006

To all you Dads out there: I'd like to wish you all a very happy Father's Day.

17th June 2006

Listen to this: today the police come round 3 times for me, saying I hadn't handed in my passport. The first time I told them that I had and it was all documented. The second time they decided to claim that I hadn't signed in when the Trinidad & Tobago match was on. Took a while, but I eventually proved them wrong ... and so on!

So, to all the policemen out there reading my website: please try to get yourselves into the police intelligence division, cos you couldn't do any worse than they are doing right now.

On a lighter note, I'd like to thank Martin and Fernando (Bocca Juniors) for the recent T-shirts they recently sent me over. Cheers mates.

15th June 2006

Isn't it funny how England have a shit second half and our press slaughter us, and yet when Brazil do the same thing they are "just not in gear yet"?

Just my personal view, but I truly believe that England can win this World Cup. Stand on me: we will at least make the semi finals!

And don't forget it's Father's Day on Sunday ... and my book would make a tremendous present . If you do buy one then email me your Dad's name so that I sign it properly.

Note from Mal: There's a page on Bad Boys Books giving all the World Cup results, league standings, latest betting odds and Red and Yellow Cards league updated several times per day. CLICK HERE.

12th June 2006

This just arrived from Stevie:

Hello there mate.Kind of owe you an apology.The first time i seen the documentry,i thought,can't believe he fell for that one,but after reading your book & realising the amount of time that the making of it took,i can see that could happen to anybody.The one good thing,if there is any, is that now that you've exposed him for what he is,no one takes any of his stuff seriously.

Daily Record - I'm a rangers fan,so have a look at the link i've sent.Although it affects us at the moment,this could affect all the clubs.Where does it end? Just needs another set of pc followers that go to football these days to say that they're offended by other fans chanting.Suppose that's the way the games went now.

anyway,take care mate
No Surrender
