Public Enemy Number ONE #317

Posted on 3 February 20239 February 2023 by Chris Thrall

Public enemy number one, features Jason Wilson, who is the son of a drug dealer once named public enemy number one, by British police.

Public Enemy Number ONE

Public enemy number one, features the story of Anthony Spencer. He was a successful business man and then he robbed his first bank. After many years in prison and a shoot-out in Amsterdam, Spencer was back behind bars. He was eventually freed after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Jason’s book, ‘The Old Man and Me’, chronicles a childhood of dealing with such an infamous father.

Transcript from ‘Public Enemy Number ONE’ podcast

Jason – So within the year we had all these businesses everywhere. He built slowly and he was just constantly expanding. Me and my brother would go to work with him on Saturdays and there’d be all these guys visiting him and calling by for advice. We’d go out in the car with him and meet people in pubs and in car parks. Sure enough he’s still a city villain but he’s mostly a businessman and straight.

Later on when I wrote the book, I’d meet one of the guys from CID. They became mates after he’d left the force and he used to visit my dad. He used to say to my dad, you need to knock this villainy on the head because you’ve got it made now.

Posted on 12 December 202212 December 2022 by Chris Thrall

22 Armed Robberies features Lennox Rodgers, who after an abusive childhood, found himself living a life of crime working for violent gangs.

22 Armed Robberies | Lennox Rodgers

Lennox Rodgers is a former gang member, who committed 22 armed robberies. His childhood was thwarted by physical and mental abuse, which led to him spending many years in the care system. After attempting to join the army, Lennox’s life spiralled out of control, between gang life and prison. He served approximately 15 years behind bars. Eager to turn his life around, Lennox became co-founder and CEO of the charity, Refocus Project. Their aim is crime prevention and intervention. His book, ‘Breaking Better’, is available now.

Transcript from ’22 Armed Robberies’ podcast

Lennox – People used to talk about the Dartmoor stare. There was so much knife crime and people made sure their backs were to the wall. People were scared to expose their back because someone would come up to them and stab them. People sometimes had magazines around their waist and you know they took precautions. It was a horrible experience to to be in Dartmoor. It was cold and you didn’t have a lot. They weren’t the facilities there that you would see at some other prisons.

Chris and Rupert

C – Rupert how are you?

R – I’m very well thanks Chris, how are you doing?

C – Yes, I’m very well and I’ve been really looking forward to our conversation. Firstly I’d like to thank you for joining my One Life Smash It community group on Facebook.

R – Yes, I’ve been enjoying it. You know normally I’d be jetting around the world for work, one of my motorcycling adventures or just yomping, but because of Covid you know I’ve been stuck here. I’m here in Hong Kong. I hadn’t watched any news for a long time, so I started to watch, but that didn’t last long. Probably for the same reason you stopped watching mainstream media. So I dipped into YouTube and found the podcast world which has been enlightening. I discovered yourself and I’ve been following some of your courses which are right up my street, like nutrition, endurance and looking after ourselves and keeping positive.

Working For The Hong Kong TRIADS | A Former Royal Marine’s Story

https://youtu.be/Mf9AhjbXgGM

In this podcast I discuss what it’s like to work for the 14K Hong Kong triads in the Wan Chai gangland

Transcript snippet from podcast

Hello Friends!
In the 1990’s I left the Royal Marines Commandos to go and run a business in Hong Kong. Six months later I was chronically addicted to crystal meth, in clinical psychosis, homeless and working for the 14K Hong Kong triads.
