The leading question... paedo charges less than weed. The judiciary don’t like to send their own down..

Against ending prohibition with a beer in front of him. End the drug war which funds corruption worldwide.A public health approach is the only sane solution.

Ex criminal here. I’ve been shot stabbed kidnapped off moss side drug gangs (chewed off scrap yard dogs) chewed off police dogs got a huge scar on my tongue through a bouncer in Blackpool for pickpocketing, bullet holes in my body, got crack lung, had cocaine psychosis, had a big reputation in northern prisons for being a debt recovery agent (hit man) been in prison dryers for payment, back flipped off the landings from the 4’s to the 2’s for payment, had fireworks shot at me at night with dangerous dogs in the garden, spoke to reggie Kray for a few months, had Darryl laycock sell me crack in the dead of night, Ian brown off the stone roses when he was in jail was being protected by me in strangeways( good friend of mine now when we bump each other ) ... and no, I don’t want to speak about it. ; )

So glad i came across this channel, keep up the fantastic postive work boys

Corruption increased within Merseyside Police whilst this person was in charge,he refused to bring in weekly drink & drug testing for all Police Officers

All Youth clubs in Liverpool should never of been closed

That's a great interview, thank you

It’s actually disturbing that someone in this guy’s position is so out of touch. He contradicted himself so many times when discussing legislation of drugs and you guys just nodded along in agreement.

Coke & guns on the streets & bent councillors in the Town Hall!

Subbed good interview 👊🏾

Always worth hearing another viewpoint but got a couple holes in his logic about legalising drugs there IMO. Wrong to buy cannabis because you're giving money to crooks. Okay fair enough let's legalise it then. Nah they'll just find another crime to commit waste of time. Yes lets punish users for crimes other people are intent on committing regardless of what the laws are. Totally fair.

Freemason tells the truth 🤣 had to laff

Great podcast really enjoyed it

If you want a serious conversation on the reform of cannabis, start looking at the rest of the world and how it's changing things (legal in 17 states in the USA).. this guy is stuck in the 80's.

Can't legalise Weed, increases drug driving, immediately takes a drink from his bottle....

Cracking pod fellas, consistently smashing it, ever fancy a pint in huyton give us a shout 👍

Great watch boys keep it going Always something different 👏

Just got your book today enjoyed this podcast so much sick of seeing gangsters glorified rather listen to this fantastic podcast x

What a good interview.

Love how he drinks his drug while telling us how he's against everything else. Also his argument for not legalising is criminality won't go away? It's never going to lmao

Need to get this guy on Shaun Attwood or James English I bet he's got some brilliant stories

Great podcast guys But this guys arguments for legalising drugs is awful. If they were legal, he would have been out of a job decades ago. Victimless crime is what they live on. The audacity of him sitting there saying cannabis should be illegal as he sips a beer haha behave lad

Your sitting there way a beer and judging green. Do one ya bam

How about the criminal case of Liverpool FC, RIP the 96,

When I was in school there was a bust on kids either selling weed or smoking it in school. I was caught buying from the dealer who was involved. They let me go but arrested my friend tho because he had the weed on him

Think his opinion on legalisation is flawed. He’s suggesting the primary reason for legalisation is to stop criminality when it’s public safety? If you can get criminality down that’s a bonus. You can legalise cannabis use but still impose a law against driving under the influence the 2 aren’t mutually exclusive

🇺🇸 That Was Very Interesting 👍 My Best Friend is an 80 year old Retired Police 👮 Officer. These Days, who Wants to put a Uniform & Do the Job.🙏

Interesting podcast and the cocaine in Liverpool Is a real problem it's absolutely everywhere and so easily available,you only have to go into any pub and there is empty bags in the toilets

remember call 101 and always hearing this guys voice lmao

A fantastic Pod, top lad and spot on what he is saying, keep up the good work guys

Class pod this the boys 😎

Legalise drugs how they have done it with cigarettes and have adverts of what bad affects will be. Many young people dont take up smoking as they did maybe 20 years ago and that's down to education and same could be done with drugs. Be so much better getting it from legal shop then on a street corner off some dodgy fella

Another great podcast and to get insight from the top man himself is fascinating

Use the old method , carrying pigeons 😂

When you mentioned the stats that you are more likely to be stabbed when you are carrying a knife than when you aren't, is it not also worth considering that those stats will be unbalanced in that the sort of person that would carry a knife is the sort of person that would be targeted vs someone who wouldn't carry a knife is less likely to be involved in that life, so the person being stabbed who is carrying a knife has a higher chance of being stabbed whether they have a knife on them or not? If that makes sense?

Good listen, seeing EncroChat was mentioned, could have asked Tony how leaving the EU impacts on potential future operations such as this.

Wouldn’t mind seeing this fella june 4th either 👍

Possession should be de-criminalised. Obviously selling drugs shouldn’t be legal. But a young lad having a spliff who could of easily grew out of it can then be fucked for the rest of his life because of a shitty possession charge.

Very weak views on exploitation of kids compared to drugs

just watched your vid , was real good and he spoke well enjoyed it ! but one thing what he said about Hunting teams ! . he said there is a big i am about them , look what i have done !! these teams give up there own time and money to catch pedos , when they give it to the police it can be 6 to 12 months before the police do anything !!!! . It would be nice if you asked a hunting team to come on and tell there side of what goes on , they work hard to keep our kids safe on line RESPECT to them all and to there decoys !! thanks just had to say that !!

They’re all corrupt. Especially this fella.

I'm all over this fellow nothing worse than a reformed Hoar.... Please don't delete this comment as we're all entitled to are opinion....

Coppers never retire

What about juliet bravo back in the 80s did he watch that. I don't agree with weed been illegal. Government will happily take tax money from grow shops. Bit of a tax hungry double standards government we have.

Seems a sound fella but his view that drug dealing criminality will remain if drugs are legalised is flawed. The reason there is no underground alcohol dealing criminality is because it’s available to buy from retail and there is zero market for criminals . The exact same would happen with canibus was legalised . He seems to skirt around the debate by generalising that all criminal activity will never go away.

Very good pod again lads , id rather listen to him than some jumped up so called gangster talking about his exploits.. As someone who speaks in schools about choices , peer pressure etc i can only say that the police have funded us. He is right about communities , improve rhem make people feel proud not scared.

It was a good interview and very interesting but I think you need to do more research on the modern drugs situation - a lot of addicts are now addicted to heroin *and* crack; rather than just cocaine. It's cheaper and provides a quicker hit. It's also more harmful to health especially when combined with strong smack. The heroin users from the 80s and early 90s are an aging segment of users (indeed, many have died off) but they & younger addicts (often the children/grandchildren of the 80s generation) are increasingly addicted to crack, smack and strong cannabis. It's a really toxic mix and far more damaging to physical & mental health combined than either drug by itself. Combining strong stimulants & sedatives is awful for the heart

Biggest criminal in Liverpool

He forgot to mention police in all sectors and ranks🙈🤨.... Just one of those things that makes to much money.

The rest of the world laugh at us because of the way we look at cannabis

Well back in the 80s and 90s they prescribed heroin and cocaine with good results. They should go back. It will eliminate dealers who are usually addicted and push drugs on new people so they can fees there own habits. Eliminate the drug gangs and the crime associated with drug use

I agree boils my blood! - guidelines obviously need reassessing

I have a theory , if drugs where legalised society would eventually become immune

Well I’m not doing it!

Were my comment gone??

like this ex copper but weird him the sat swigging on a bottle of ale tbh

I thought it was a great podcast dont know what the other guy is on about

He would never agree to legalising drugs because that is one of his main sources of income.

Liar to the end and beyond...

Those comments on child molestation images etc did not recieve an adequate answer and i find it utterly abhorrent...

What about mi6 the c.i.a and the international drugs trade

Find it a bit of a contradiction that the cocain users aren't the problem the dealers are, if it wasnt for the users there be no dealers and theres more and more people using every year . The war on drugs was lost years ago

Can not watch because of during sounds

Which family has been the biggest drug importer/dealer in the uk since the 1800s they never give up the family business

Ironically they are chatting about how drugs should be banned,when there sitting there taking drugs. If u want to ban drugs ban alcohol too. Just legalize it doesn’t matter if criminals find other crimes that’s a stupid argument for not legalizing it

It would seem special branch are a law into themselves

There are a lot of wrong uns...in Liverpool.

I feel like I can drive better after a wee joint lol

The police are not there to think 💭, if lockdown has taught us anything

The uk prisons are jam packed, sadly there isn’t enough room to lock up all the paedophiles. I work within the criminal justice system (CJS) I do believe certain crimes like domestic abuse and paedophilia do not have harsh enough sentencing guidelines, as these crimes are devastating to the victims. I have thought about alcohol and drug use in relation to the CJS, alcohol misuse costs the public sector millions of pounds a year (in health care, policing, mental health sectors)- however, the government makes millions on VAT etc on this. (Plus the jobs it creates in pubs, clubs & supermarkets). However, drugs are not taxed, so the government makes no income.......... Food for thought right there. (I do not use drugs, & I believe they are harmful to people and the wider community).

I take it nobody in Liverpool has a playstation....

Gang of dogs? Removing comments

Sorry but the guy who claims to work in laboratory’s testing drugs clearly knows f u c k all about them....... it’s cringe to listen to some of these questions

The police enforce polic-y what should and should not be policy is not in the hands of the polic-e

I'm retired, we, we, we, the thin blue line never ceases, and yet they don't admit fault on any level. The UK special forces have been involved in drug importation for generations, it won't end even with any factor being exposed, there' too much money in it for it to be deemed worthless, interviews are pointless as you are not even talking of what the facts are...

Plod take drugs and money from dealers and walk away I’ve heard 🤷‍♂️

He's most likely bent as a nine bob note

andy cooke operation care ?

Who's Mr Cooke trying to kid? Corrupt plod are few and far between? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Make a big jail for them lock them up for life

I have to say crack cocaine in my area is a lot worse than heroin ever was. The people on crack are constantly doing crazy things, like kicking shop windows in, just to snatch stupid things, they snatch handbags off old woman, they pinch collection boxes off shop counters, they burgle anywhere, and everywhere, to get enough money for their next session of pipes. There was a time when heroin was worse, but all the old heroin users have now turned to crack cocaine, and they are worse than ever. I think peoples opinions on cocaine are based on them knowing friends who have a line at the pub on the weekend, but that's just the side of cocaine they get to see, the other side of it, is disgusting, users lock themselves in their house, until all their cocaine is gone, and then they run around like headless chickens, panicking, and trying to earn enough for their next session of pipes, and most of these people get psychosis on a regular basis while using crack, obviously that's going to lead to severe mental health problems in the furure if they don't get off it asap.

We're is my comment gone lad

What a good interview of a proud Scouser.

*Listen the drugs in livpool is a Joke* *The police should hammer individual gaffs that don't do anything*

Liverpool’s finished

Please look at video taken in Liverpool titled "racist thomas gorman" lark Lane. Police and housing aware and he is still there,terrorising a black family. Police not doing anything

Will someone please drag that clown in the blue jumper away from the microphone when drinking. Sounds disgusting, couldn't continue listening. Shame cos it's a good interview

Unemployment is far worse now

I'm gone fck the drinking noise

85 was ace especially Everton 💙

You can criticize SCHOOLS (especially the board) but NEVER criticise teachers man (you know them ones that truly care no one wants to be a teacher for money. Its shit underpay for overwork) You even have HOMEWORK (grading) i mean people complain that "these teachers get as much holidays as the kids" GOOD jesus christ. They dont anyways coz they do training courses but yeh I think the misinformed parents (who by the way are FAAAR too much on their kids side like you see mams threatening teachers DONT TALK TO MY SON LIKE THAT. I would have have a clip round the ear off our mam and it'd be the other way around DONT EVER TALK TO YOUR TEACHER OR ANYONE WITH THAT KIND OF DISRESPECT. And im not old like when it was cains and shit. Im a 90s kid i left in 2002 when labour nailed education (I started seniors in 1997 and saw the change happen first hand) Its like the teacher against the parent and kid. It should be the teacher and the parent trying TOGETHER to sort this kid out. If he's brought up thinking if anyone speaks to him wrong his mam will just go up and threaten the teachers? How the FUCK is he gunna grow up to be a functioning student/civilian. He (I say he Im a lad lets be honest its 90% lads). But like parents will act sooooo antagonising to the teachers that the teachers want the disruptive kid gone because they havent got the time or patience to deal with chav mothers who think they're rock hard and no one can say ANYTHING to their kid.

Had to watch this in 2 parts I hear police and I start to fall asleep and fell asleep. The first day of the latest violence in Israel 🇮🇱 they already talking about peace talks. So why has the outdated war on drugs been going for over forty years. The longest running war on drugs is a joke. How many people have died in this war still police and government will to stand back and watch the chaos. Who is the real criminals in all this

Tom d

And there’s people on other podcasts calling drug dealers “ Legends “ 😏 mentioning no names. Disgusting creatures those major players are.

PLEASE stop glugging on that water so near the mic!! It sounds like an exaggerated sound effect 😳😱

operation pelican

I don’t support legalisation of cannabis! But I support myself with this “man made” alcoholic drug while I do this interview....

Bullsit
