SAS Paras & Royal Marines To Be REBRANDED EU!

SAS Paras & Royal Marines To Be REBRANDED EU! We’re losing the control and identity of our UK armed forces to the European Defence Forces and the ‘global’ agenda. No one knows or cares!

Transcript snippet from ‘SAS Paras & Royal Marines To Be REBRANDED EU!’

C – Hello Dave and what have you got for me this week. Is the face of the Royal Marines changing for the better or worse?

D – Very good morning to you Chris and a big shout out to all the fellow bootnecks and frontline units there. Well we’ve sort of rounded the revelations made yesterday at the defence committee and we’ve had this integrated review finally being released. It’s full but of course what they’ve done over the previous months is this stuff keeps being drifted out in little snippets. Just as if it’s like a softening up exercise. So there’s several things happening in the same time frame. So let’s go with the Royal Marines and Stonehouse. We’ve got the same M.O. as drifting this stuff out in the press, so they want to shut Stonehouse. That’s the cultural centre of the Royal Marines. We’re seeing this gambit of a Rangers force coming in. The concept of this unification of our military was articulated by our permanent secretary back in 2015.

They Tried To Kill My Family featuring Sean Ivey

When former Royal Marine Sean Ivey reported thugs to the police, the law did nothing. The thugs burned his house, car and caravan down while he and his family slept.

Transcript from ‘They Tried To Kill My Family’

Chris and Sean

C – Sean, I usually say how are you brother, but for some reason that doesn’t seem entirely appropriate, considering what the hell you and your family have just been through. But I’ll say it anyway, how are you mate?

S – I’m pretty good actually, because obviously for those who haven’t heard, my house was set on fire. I stood up to anti-social behaviour online. My car, caravan and house were set on fire while we were asleep at night. The outpouring of support has been amazing and from my family, it’s just something to behold. With it, I’m going to use this platform to make positive changes to anti-social behaviour and that’s keeping my spirits up. A lot of people are taking solace from the the fact that someone stood up to be heard. That’s what I want everyone to do. So my spirits are good and the kids are a little bit oblivious to what’s gone on because their only five and seven. My missus is struggling to be honest.

History Bro Discusses The Falklands Conflict | Podcast #155

Posted on 17 March 202111 May 2021 by Chris Thrall

A chat with one of the channel’s biggest supporters, History Bro, about the Falklands Conflict – or was it a war? We discuss. History Bro’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEwYhrka7Je0ZASriyDWmyQ

History Bro | The Falklands Conflict

I chat with one of the channel’s biggest supporters, History Bro, about the Falklands Conflict. Or was it a war? We discuss.

Transcript from ‘History Bro The Falklands Conflict’

C – History Bro how are you?

HB – Hi Mr Thrall it’s a pleasure to have a bit of your time, I really appreciate it. If we could talk about the Falklands a bit, is that what we’ve got on the docket today?

C – You can see just by looking at your channel and for everybody watching I suggest you do, you’ve got a fairly in depth understanding of history, compared to someone like myself and I think we could talk forever, but shall we talk about the Falklands?

HB – Yeah, I would really like to, it’s one of things when I first got in touch with you that really sprung to mind, with of course your history with the Royal Marines. Just to put it in a bit of context I’d like to say early on that neither of us where there if anyone’s under any weird idea. |I wasn’t even one years old, I was born in 1981 and I hadn’t even had my first birthday when the action went down on the Falklands there. I imagine you were ten or twelve at the time, that sort of age but it’s part of your regimental history.

BBC Film Danny Boy | Brian Wood MC | Podcast #151

Posted on 5 March 202114 May 2021 by Chris Thrall

The BBC film and docudrama, ‘Battle Of Danny Boy’ Brian Wood MC, features Brian Wood MC chatting with Chris Thrall. The soldier was falsely accused by disgraced lawyer, Phil Shiner, of war crimes during The Iraq war. Shiner’s firm were behind 65% of the allegations received by IHAT.

[yotuwp type=”videos” id=”bJa5sZW-evU” ]

BBC Film Danny Boy | Brian Wood MC

Brian Wood MC, former Colour Sergeant with The Princes of Wales Royal Regiment, was awarded the Military Cross. This is one of Britain’s highest awards for gallantry in combat, by Her Majesty The Queen II, following his courageous leadership under enemy fire in Iraq. In the heat of a lethal close quarters battle, fighting outnumbered, he seized the initiative, taking a split-second decision to lead his men into the teeth of enemy fire. This was the first bayonet charge by British soldiers in 25 years. Read Brian’s book ‘Double Crossed’ https://amzn.to/38cNQxQ

Danny Boy is now a BBC docudrama (documentary drama) film.

Transcript from ‘BBC Film Danny Boy | Brian Wood MC’ podcast

C – Brian, how are you brother?

B – Yeah I’m good thank you. Thanks for having me on, I appreciate it. We’ve been trying for a while now so it’s good to get on.

C – Yeah, we seem to be passing ships, like I am with a lot of my guests on social media. We’re out there doing our stuff, when we finally get together it’s all good huh?

B – Absolutely, absolutely.

C – I’m going to start by asking where do you get you drive from Brian. We’ll probably come on to talk about everything you’ve been through which is enough to tread down ten men, if not a hundred. You’re so busy all the time, you tend to get so much done, is there any philosophy we can learn from there.

B – Do you know what, I’m not the Oracle and I’ll never claim to be. I’m just driven by hard work.

SAS Legend On The Fight For Goose Green | #150

Posted on 4 March 202111 May 2021 by Chris Thrall

SAS Legend On The Fight For Goose Green.

[yotuwp type=”videos” id=”4XWAowDLhWc” ]

SAS Legend On The Fight For Goose Green

Nigel ‘Spud’ Ely’s soldiering career in the Parachute Regiment, the SAS, as a Military Consultant and as a War Photojournalist has taken him in to some of the most high-octane battles of the modern era. From Northern Ireland, the Falklands, to Africa, Afghanistan and Iraq, Spud has been in the thick of the most ferocious battles of modern times. He writes with passion, pace and the knowledge of someone who’s seen it and done it; because he has.

Transcript from ‘SAS Legend On The Fight For Goose Green’ podcast

Chris and Nigel

C – So Spud, is there something that makes people stay around Hereford after they’ve served.

N – Umm, no, well I love it. I’m a city boy and I’m a country boy, but I wouldn’t say there’s much to keep the lads around here. As a percentage I guess there’s very few of us who live here. Most of the guys move back home or overseas. I mean the camp is only five miles away from me as the crow flies, from my place. It’s nine miles away and I’m on the flight path to the Beacons, I get a lot of air traffic sometimes, but they don’t fly low enough for me. They always stay up high and I think they should get a bit of low level training!

C – So Spud, how old were you when you joined the parachute regiment, did you join the paras first?

Surviving HELL The Chennai Six | Podcast #67

Posted on 3 March 202112 May 2021 by Chris Thrall

Surviving hell as one of The Chennai six, Nick tells his story of being arrested and imprisoned in India. Nick wasn’t just innocent of any crime, there was no crime.

[yotuwp type=”videos” id=”d4OjRDE1Ng4″ ]

Surviving HELL The Chennai Six

Arrested and imprisoned in India as one of the ‘Chennai Six’, Nick wasn’t just innocent of any crime, there was no crime. Stationed on an anti-piracy ship to protect vessels against Somali pirates, the six were arrested and falsely charged with intruding in Indian waters and the possession of illegal weapons. Nick lost four years of his life trapped in a legal nightmare in India, thousands of miles from home and his family, spending the bulk of his time in appalling conditions at Chennai prison with extremely limited contact to the outside world. Despite this, Nick refused to buckle and now he tells his full story of endurance and survival for the very first time.

Transcript from ‘Surviving HELL The Chennai Six’ podcast

Chris and Nick

C – Nick how are you brother?

N – I’m good thank you very much.

C – You’ve been through a lot.

N – Yes, you could say that.

C – On the bright side you’ve got a book coming out.

N – I do yes and I’m trying to promote it at best as I can. Hopefully during lockdown people can potentially read and take something worth of value from the book, especially when I’m talking about isolation. People may say you were in a prison and I’m at home. For people with mental health problems they feel they are a prison in their own home. I want to shed light on what my isolation was like and the stuff I had available, people can then think well I’m not in a prison and look at the stuff they have at their disposal.

Transcript from ‘1 Para In Iraq | Steve Mathews | SFSG’ podcast

Chris and Steve

C – Steve how are you brother?

S – I’m good thank you how are you?

C – I’m very well mate, thank you for asking. You’re in Iraq as we speak?

S – Yeah, currently on lockdown in Baghdad, Iraq yeah.

C – What position are you holding in there?

S – I’m basically working for a private security company. Part of the regional management team. So we basically oversee all the projects in our region and provide support for those projects.

C – If we go back to the beginning, it was 1 Para you were in?

S – Yeah, so I left school in the year 2000, always wanted to join the military, I had three other family members in the parachute regiment at the time, so my allegiance was to the parachute regiment. I was too young to join as an adult entry, so my only option was to go to the army foundation college in Harrogate…

Alex Reid Big Brother Winner | Paratrooper

Alex Reid is a man of many talents, being a former paratrooper, actor, celebrity, MMA cage fighter and Big Brother winner. He’s also a phenomenally nice guy who knows his stuff. Alex is

a seeker of the truth and little from how the press portrayed of him, resembles the real Mr. Reid.

Transcript snippet from ‘Alex Reid Big Brother Winner | Paratrooper’ podcast

Chris and Alex

C- We’re live, how are you Alex brother?

A – I’m still in my jim jams and I thought I’d pick out my old Commando T Shirt today, as you’re an ex Commando. It’s funny I haven’t worn this T Shirt in many, many years. I run boot camps now and when I came out of the army I never wanted to wear combats again. But obviously running a boot camp, you want to have that kind of feel, so I put on my old uniform.

C – I would just like to do an extended thanks to the British Military for providing me with an excellent set of gardening clothes. You can also wear them on building sites!

A – Did you take an NBC suit home?

C- Nah, I left in all a bit of a hurry, but with what’s going on at the moment, I wish I’d liberated a bloody machine gun!
