When I was younger I wrote to tc and got a lovely reply. This was when joe steel broke out of prison twice and gave himself up to highlight his innocence. I’m in no doubt these boys were “patsys” .fitted up by top Strathclyde police officers. Totally disgusting treatment for these guys and the Doyle family
Wow this was one powerful story. Listening to Tommy talk & His way of thinking was delightful, what a well educated & intelligent man. His dignity will remain his forever. RIP Tommy Godbless 🙏🏻
I was at war with Tommy Campbell and the "enemies" since I was a teenager.. Time does heal old wounds. We bumped into each other outside a Lidl shop one day in the pissing rain waiting on a taxi..we had a nice chat shook hands and swapped numbers and promised to keep in touch. He passed away soon after. Big Tamby as well. Frank as well.
No matter where you have been or what you have done in life,this mans story will bring a tear to your eye. T.C Respect mate, Peace for the rest of your days bro x
I'll never forget the day when i got remanded in bar-l and as an overspill for c-hall they put us in D-Hall until a cell became available in C-Hall.I was looking down to cell 32 on the bottom flat -D-1-32 and i hear the sound of loud bagpipes.With 2 screws outside the door this man with sunken eyes and a big long beard came to the cell just on the outside.He shouts up to me 'alright johnboy'.I think who are you ? John its Tommy.....I was on remand with Tommy and shadow and joe in september 84 and to see the change in this big well built smart man was very sad.I got down to have a wee talk to him and john Gallagher and ricky cooney.As i did a few hours later Tommy is talking to his mate and goes onto the phone (as you may know cat-A's werent allowed to use the phone.Why i dont know)The wee rookie screw tries to pull tommy off the phone so Tommy smashes the phone booth up.Im withdrawing from drugs but i steamed in and screws were getting hit with brushes over their heads etc.Big John -G quietens tommy down and walks him to his cell.A couple of hours later they take tommy to Aberdeen jail to which he got a hell of a doing from the teuchter screws and they tear his spleen.To be there when and befrore they were on trial and get to know them was great.But how they treated this big guy was terrible.Even the screws inside knew he was innocent asi heard them say it.RIP Big man
James your number one in this podcast game bro.....I've massive respect for what you've achieved so far and can't wait to see what's to come in future 😆👌
James this is hands down the best interview I've ever seen 🙌.......what a story Tommy had to tell ......sad to hear that he had passed ,finally free & at peace Tommy ✌
Another fantastic pod cast James you should be on tv with these great documentaries, i have watched endless hours watching the pod casts every minute was amazing.
Your integrity as a humanbeing was clear to be seen James! Your miles above people like them. Keep up the good work,your really good at what you do. Stick in Streaky.....Edinburgh
R.I.P legend, you'll never be forgotten TC Tuck your shirt in stand in line, remember your number, we'll get along fine. life in prison can be hard & mean, adjust to the system & everyday routine. TC would never conform to any conditioning was fully aware of the system trying to break him, very well educated his poetry was brilliant. Convicted of a crime he & Joe never even committed, we all know McGraw was behind the ice cream wars, even to this day the Doyle family has had no closure 😢 As for Strathclyde police corruption is still there today but buried
This was a great interview, I knew about the case & had read up on it so it was really refreshing that you delved into TC's background, his mental wellbeing over the years & detailing the effects of it all on himself & his family. Great video James, you carried the conversation really well
I honestly felt like greeting listening to that man talk about his life. Maybe a bit of a boy in his day but my god he did not deserve to be put through that. Hope he enjoys a peaceful life in his twilight years. Sad and interesting james. Good luck with your career mate
TC was a wee bit apprehensive talking at the beginning, and really came more and more into it thanks to your easy going technique. Was like watching two mates opening up to each other. Brilliant interview again buddy. TC, your a proper top man. Well done boys.
Tom Harkins I helped set up the interview wae James and my da, my da says he wasn’t expecting the interview to happen so quickly or he would of got his teeth fixed 😂😂😂
James again another outstanding video. These story’s are so powerful that you can picture it while he it telling the story. Fantastic work mate keep it up👌👍
Great stuff again James i spoke to Tommy just after the podcast was done and the way he was talking about it gave me the impression it might not have been what i was expecting but as i have said before Tommy always has a good story to tell but this was really good i wasn't expecting so much emotion but i think it's down to ur interview techniques James i can't wait for Tommy,s new book as he gave me a wee insight into what to expect total respect for Tommy and Joe people can say what they want about both of them but i know them personally and what happened to them was a fucking joke ✌
Why has there never been a public enquiry into this ?. It's a disgrace how it took 4 years to take TC back to court to prove a signed afedavid existed that was there in front of them. What a fit up !!!!
tavy@ I read tc's book 'indictment trial by fire' and a felt like crying reading what that man whent through in peterhead prison alone. They TRIED to kill him just becouse he tried to prove he was innocent. That was good to watch there. But try and read his book 'trial by fire' it tells so much more. At times i had to put the book down becouse i felt so bad and sorry to what these monsters in jail did to that man all for something he didnt do. A true old school hard man who was respected and still is. I couldnt believe it when the polis said to his face "we know you didnt do it but yer not playing the game tc" while they knew who really did it. In a way that makes them as bad as them that did it. Its the most saddest and cruel misscarraige of justice scotland has ever seen. Sentenced to life, and the prosecution didnt have any forensic evidence, no dna, no eye witnesses who saw them in that street at that time, nothing. Except a serail perjurer who was a criminal charged with attempted murder, armend robberry and loads of other stuff. Who was given bail 4 TIMES and said not to be a danger lol not. And all charges dropped for a made up story he heard tc and others say he heard talking about the fire! Then 9 years later he swore on an avidavid and signed it that he made it all up. For a start he wouldnt be a reiliable witness and allowed to give evidence becouse hes a serial perjurer. A lier!!!! With criminal convictions for the most serouse crimes! The system is corrupt and rotten to the core, it always has been with corrupt peado goverment with interests in young boys and every one knows it!!!!!!! R.I.P tommy, your hell has ended!!!!
Hearing this just reminds me about how people say "Here in Scotland, we have one of the best legal systems in the world". The people who say it are the politicians and lawyers, judges and Police. The thing that amazes me is that the general public believe it when they have no direct experience of it. It's only when you go up against the system that you find out that it's a cesspit of evil. The public think that the system is genuinely based on "innocent until proven guilty" but what they don't know is that "proof" is not what you think. "Proof" is what TC is saying - 'a witness' says he seen/heard something that didn't even happen. That, unbelievably, counts as proof and the accused is "proven to be" guilty. The entire system is laughable but many people make a good living from it. You even have a totally absurd situations in court that would never happen in real life. You have a procurator fiscal who tells you "I put it to you, that you did indeed assault the Police officer" and the fact was you were there at the scene and you didn't do it while the cowardly little PF WASN'T there and he's telling you that you did something that didn't even happen!! Then they all go off to their nice homes and perpetuate the myth that they are doing an honest days work. The only justice will be in the final reckoning when they all burn in hell for their evil because their pompous attitudes and standing will do nothing for them.
I agree, been there myself on a couple of occasions, even plead guilty when I was innocent as it was all circumstantial evidence and a few lying witnesses against me just to lessen the sentence, that's why the reduced sentence for an early plea is used to back the innocent into a corner, they need results and unfortunately the results ruin innocent peoples lives, just a nasty business all round.
That was a great interview James, its a tragic story of corruption and the victims on both sides I hope Tommy finds his path and the Doyle family are able to find peace.
I've just been recommended your channel by a whole bunch of commentors from Shaun Attwoods channel (he was interviewing Blink McDonald) You've got a proper rep mate, so I'm subbed and look forward to checking your channel out.
Really enjoyed this interview James... I had heard about the Ice Cream Wars but never knew about TC and the others there wasn't much publicity about them.
Great interview mate' Guys like Mr Campbell should go round our schools & educate our wains wae a bit of his advice & wisdom & a few of his stories 'I'm sure it would plant a seed that would maybe make them think what path they want to take in their own lifes 👍
Seen your homeless doc aswell as 'blink', Paul Craig & will watch the Goram 1 soon !,... Hats off to you !, a wee reminder we can all become a success, even if we ur fae a 'scheme' ! Great work & keep it up m8 👍
What a belter this story is James unbelievable that this miscarriage of Justice could be allowed to go on for so long i sincerely wish TC all the best well done again mate
Absolute disgrace how a dirty corrupt police force used this man as a scapegoat and ruined his life........ Last saw the ''big chap'' way back in Larchgrove in the late sixties....... Good Luck to you TC........... You deserve it mate......... !
Polis are the biggest Street gang there is ,and the bastards ALWAYS get away with it. ...been stitched up myself back in the day great interview from Tommy, real hardman and a gentleman
Great interview this man deserves to live a happy peacefull life I hope he got or get s a payout so he can never have to worry about anything in his life again or tho no amount of money will make up for what they done to him people need to be held accountable
Great podcast mate .only found out about yourself 2 weeks ago been doing lots of catching up I'm hooked . Keep up the good work looking forward to Paul Ferris 👍
Shocking & the worst thing is that people are still being sent to prison for no reason this guy has been through hell may he rest in peace now bless him 💜💚💙
It is like living a nightmare for nearly 20 years only to wake up and find it was all true. Cannot begin to comprehend what this would do to your mental health. Tommy is one of the mentally toughest people that has been on your podcast. Glad he eventually got his freedom, albeit 17 years too late.
My cards on who did the murders are Gary Moore... just my opinion due to him wanting to be part of his gang. I also spoke to Moore in barlinne and he spoke about t.c,s wife coming to see him n all sorts. He also always got put in a single cell all the time cause he set about his co-pilots all the time..he was a major name dropper and bullshitter..not that I'd say that 2 his face.
Nothing but respect for this man ,those corrupt bastards who destroyed this man should watch this and see the damage they done . Those bastards will meet there makers. GOD BLESS YAE TC HH🍀
I was in hmp Perth Scotland back in 2000 I do remember TC Campbell writing a letter to Billy love.the police gave him a new name William McDonald he now stays in London UK
James English ok mate iv left a message on Tommy’s phone waiting on him getting back to me. Soon as he does I’ll get him to get in touch with you what’s the best way to get hold ov you.
TC Campbell doesn't live of his tough reputation like others love doing he now seems like a humble reformed man who will be the first to tell you crime wasn't glamorous by any stretch of the imagination and stay on the straight and narrow.
absolute shame, pure heart ache watching this, broken man is an understatement. To the doyle family may one day the truth come out ❤️ and put these unsolved murders to rest x
Wow ,what a story TC... Like you said James , would make a very eye opening film for a lot of people to see how corrupt the "establishment" is... Keep up the great work fella..👏👌
Tavy@ WHAT a true hard man! For what he sufferd in peterhead prison alone. The screws TRIED to kill him and nearly did, the booted and jumpend all over him for at least 10 long minutes and did it lots of time kicking him withing an inch of his life. Then all those hunger strikes till he couldnt walk and they still batterd him. For 18 years or more, most men would have gave up and just accepted it. But not tc, he WAS a fighter and then some. Its becouse the prison system cant be botherd with lifers trying to prove there innocent so they make life as hard as they can for them. When a read tc's book 'trial by fire' and the actual trial itself a was shocked, sickend and angry that a trial like this jailed these men for life despite no evidence, forensic, dna, eye witnesses that saw them in that street, nothing! Except a verbal from a serial perjurer, armend robber, it made me realise that the police were jailing them or any one even without evidence, or any real evidence that would stand up in court. Aye av lost faith in the system. Not that i had any to start with, but this was takeing it to another level, just jailing any1 for life just to make a show that they did there job and the goverments peados would be happy. Even Donald Findlay qc for joe steele said after the trial "Not Even God Would Have Got Out Of That One" meaning it was a set up from the start to finish. A show for the public!!!! R.I.P Tommy !!!!!!!!!!!
