I no Jimmy, James Brown . What a lovely man . He's clearly done a lot of bird. If u grow up around him u would no what a decent respectful man he was to women
Fabulous interview was so intrigued to view this one, James is a lovely guy and my goodness he's certainly had an eventful packed life ! Really enjoyed watching this one 🙏💙
Thank you Chelle for your lovely words of support. Thank you very much. Look forward to meeting you sometime in 2024 if you come to one of my shows 🎄🎅🏼❤️
Thank you so much Dom. I really appreciate that and it’s at least 25 years. Do you remember when you came to the DROP ZONE at SIBSON AIRFIELD when you was pregnant and Emily came along too when I did some jumps that day? Your sister KATY has been a major part of my life as you know, and I love you and all your family XX continue enjoying the Christmas festivities. I wish you all the best for 2024 hopefully I’ll see you soon XX❤
Well one thing i know hes lying about is gartree escape he never organised that i know andy russell well and he dont even know this grezer..andy was involved in the whitemoor escape aswell well respected guy .
Never met Andy Russell he was a Category B prisoner however, John Kendall is my reference as to my validation vis a vis the fact that the helicopter escape was MY idea and planning. John Kendall is thankfully alive and well and furthermore, has verified my FACTUAL account. I find sad keyboard warriors on occasion never lived a life!!!
James’s has lived an extraordinary (to say the least) life, which is truly fascinating and at times terrifying to hear about. Albeit this is a rather condensed resume of it, which leaves one wanting to hear more. James is now a great contemporary poet, who writes from the heart and I look forward to seeing him perform live. Having been introduced to James by a mutual friend, it’s hard to imagine such a mild mannered, gentle and charismatic character is who he was. I’m looking forward to meeting him again to hopefully hear some more of his life stories.
Thank you so much for those kind words, Thomas, that genuinely means so much to me, especially coming from such a successful and highly respected person as yourself I enjoyed your C Son OMPANY the last time we met when you was with your beautiful daughter. I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you all the very best for the New Year. Once again Thomas, thank you so much for your kind words that means a lot to me. It really does 🎄🎄❤️🤺🪂
Another classic, from Britains finest who have served for Queen and Country who have earned respect to those who have tread paths a little more troubled... Keep up the interviews Dodge, looking forward to the Dubai tour. 😉
Absolute legend.. a gent and an artist. We could not be from more different walks of life but he has always been a pleasure to be around and so generous. Love this podcast.
Not seen James for many years. His mother and mine worked together for years. It was an interesting pod and some dear friends of mine mentioned. Everything you hear accurate and true. All the best to you James.
Now a lot of the old lot from kentish town Tufnell park Camden. Happy days. James always treated me with the up most respect and we had some laughs together . He probley wouldn't remember me. I remember him and his mate drinking in kentish town. Happy days I have the up most respect for him ❤
Nice compliment but dodge is better of doing real podcasts on RUclips because the tv is all utter bullshit 90% of tv is fake all set up and manipulated
This fella has the old school "kray brothers" ora about him, you can can tell by the twang on his voice he's one of the legends of the "old school! I'm only half way through and you've got me hooked with this one dodge! 💯👊👏👏
Let me tell you James is legendary in north london and is known by all the proper people in Camden Islington and all over. Great interview and he has many more things but couldn’t say them due to incriminating active people. All you key board warriors and absolute whoppers saying he’s talking crap you know nothing.
I was kept in GLASS HOUSES or Barracks Guard rooms, i escaped THREE TIMES and got back to UK TWICE via my own means and lovely top soldiers i met. I got 3years 6 mounths and went to chelmsford young offenders prison in Essex in my Army uniform. Valid observation though
Imagine going to all that trouble getting a Helicopter bust you out of Prison and only getting taken 1.5miles up the road. 20mins in a Helicopter is 200 miles away and by the time they identified and tracked the Helicopter they would of been out and safe.
The longer you were in the air the more peril you could incur. Johnny Kendal was screaming for helicopter to land asap. It did in Market Harbrough and the the first of two vechicles hijacked at gun point on the edge of the town was used for a SUCCESSFUL ESCAPE and a SPECTACULAR ESCAPE AT THAT. Sid Drapper is happily living abroad now i can confirm! Interesting thought though SMC
He never had anything to do with the helicoptor escape i know andy russell well and kendall this guy never helped organise and didnt have a spot on the helicoptor fact.
Dodge, brilliant podcast but I did a few stretches in the military nick....YOU GOT absolutely beasted in military nick and the Army nick was always in Colchester
Correct. So if listen to part where i say i used to climb out through a window in the GUARDHOUSE because i cut part of iron window security bar I'd climb out at night and return in the early hours of morning, to face BEING BEASTED RUNNING UP AND DOWN STAIRS ANDUP AND DOWN LONG STEEP SAND HILLS, YOU HAD TO RUN DOWN TO RIVER; WET YOUR HAND AND RUN BACK UP THE SAND HILL YOUR HAND STILL WET. IF YOUR HAND WAS DRY TOO SLOW, YOU DID IT AGAIN! I FOUND IT EASY AT 19. INTERNATIONAL ATHLETE ONLY A COUPLE OF HOURS SLEEP! An off duty guardhouse corporal saw me in this Pub/club one night, so checking i didn't have a doppleganger he returned to Barrcks to check my cell He found a bed made up of my army kit and boots under blankets on my bed! The corrporal returned with LITERALLY, the troops, to this Pub/Club place to arrest me, fate had it that i went on some minor mission to finance a return trip to Blighty England. I returned to that venue an hour or so later, a German girl told me they (soldiers and red cap MP'S) had come looking for me, i was fucked, now i was on the run AGAIN, it would be the THIRD and final time i escaped from a REGIMENTAL GUARD (GLASSHOUSE) HOUSE whilst i was stationed in BAOR Germany. I got BEASTED alright! However, the other few soldiers with me doing time,a week for ill-discipline eg, they were far less fitter than i, so attention was on them and NOT ME.I found it EASY... I was taken out of the Guardhouse to go on TEN MILE RUNS with another sergeant at lunchtimes who was trying to join a regiment where you had to be ultra physically fit before apptitude considerations, so you need to appreciate my fitness back then, it would be fair to state i was still liked, even when in such trouble and as good as NO longer a soldier for Queen and Country! Correct you will be beasted. Even in Army my time was quite different to others. READ MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY THAT WENT TO No'2 on Amazon last year . Merry Christmas @User-rh
He keeps banging on about "highly successful robbers and vilains!" Then in his next breath explains that he met them in high security prisons doing very long sentences lol!😂 there is not such a thing as a highly successful criminal... that you have heard of.
Oxymoronic i agree. Definition of success is surely subjective. Gerry Scalise is active to this day. The Marlbrough Diamond was NEVER RECOVERED. The GOLD from the Brinks Matt Robbery was NEVER RECOVERED, I coild go on and on. However,very valid point
@@jamesbrowne5353 and most of these vilains die without leaving any significant wealth. Some do, but most of the ones that do have money, end up earning it later in life through reasonably straight businesses. 99% of the time crime never pays in the long run. Look at Freddie Foreman for instance, he lives in a council flat on benefits and a state pension, and he had some involvement in most spectacular robberies of the 60's 70's and 80's, probably brinksmatt too in some roll.
A Council Brat From A Council Flat …. Ho Ho! You’ll never get the chance to see how beautiful his council flat is with south facing large Bar and miscellaneous activities garden, which his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren and all enjoy it when they go and see him all the time. On the open market, the house is worth fortunes, he is just extremely fortunate that that’s where he lives and that he will pass on to one of his children or grandchildren!! Then because of his age, he will be paying, literally fuck all, absolutely zero… One of his son’s is a famous actor, and a personal friend of mine. You do have a valid point though, that for a large percentage of people they would’ve been better off working on the buses or something.! Now All aboard! Hold tight for the last ride!! ; )
He’s conditioned himself to say ‘thing’ instead of the act.. very interesting to see and note how we over decades create ways to deal with what we have done, linguistically and as a slip, or otherwise. He’s done that more than anyone else on the pod that I can recall (who have done similar things). Edit - top bloke though. Was not meant as a dig at all. Who wouldn’t subconsciously deal with it in some way?!
It's how criminals and especially ex cons say something without actually saying it. Yammy does a similar thing if you listen to him. If you dont understand the context of the story, you wouldn't have a clue what they are on about.
Saying that ('thing') was almost automatic to me! This is first time i sat down like this and openly discussed sensitive and difficult subject matter. Thanks for your valid input though

Love the podcasts dodge as always. But cant get over the gun been just a prop. It would not of needed to be loaded if just a prop. Just a thought. Everyone is different but not my favourite guest. Keep it up dodge
@@jamesbrowne5353I don't know draper but Johnnyboy Steele was in there after Jimmy Boyle Jimmy is living in France now james did you ever meet yammy b I speak to him noel fielding mighty boosh I watched him live in Cardiff what a funny man you should do more podcasts
This was a tricky one to follow, bit all over the place with timelines etc and Jimmy still holding his carda close to his chest! Enjoyed it nonetheless!
Aaa cat belmarsh used to visit my step dad Mr D. C there totally separate to normal prison holds about 20 men plus Charlie bronson at the time rip dad x
BEWARE LONGEST REPLY IN RUclips History BUT F..KING DYNAMITE : ) I was in Belmarsh with Micky Petterson aka Charlie Bronson, in the special Cat A Unit along with a few others. I went on an ID Parade, they [the potentual wittnesses) didnt pick me out. . Apparently THREE men tried to attack a guy two days before in a pub called THE DOWNHAM ARMS in Islington the man had only just walked into the pub. Then words were exchanged with one man which led to three men coming outside the pub, so the man literally cut all their clothing, leather jackets in tatters etc WITHOUT CUTTING ANY OF THEM .. with a knife and then exited the scene as lively as he arrived, only to return two days later with a gun and held THE WHOLE PUB UP by lining everyone up because he was looking for the three bullies! Armed police were called and arrived super fast, and I WALKED OUT OF THE PUB armed police with rifles plus armed squads everywhere.I INNOCENTLY walked along the pavement away from main entrance whence upon a squad of four heavily armed and masked policemen took me down to the pavement with a running kick to my back in the shouder region from behind. THAT DID THE TRICK Then seconds later whilst i was being squashed into the pavement i heard a shout; " WE'VE FOUND THE GUN" which was a rubber handled short barrelled handgun found in the mens toilet area. I was naturally unarmed as i walked out of the pub with adrenaline exploding throughout my whole body, my only friend. I was very roughly bundled into an unmarked dark grey SUV van and taken to ISLINGTON POLICE STATION. I was already wanted because i failed to appear at Crown Court in Portsmouth on drug inportation charges, and I forfeited £25,000 bail assurity someone put up for me because i failed to show up. This is why i was moved to the CATEGORY A UNIT IN BELMARSH. I had been put BACK ON CATEGORY A STATUS by the Home Office. Whilst in Belmarsh Cat A Special Unit i went on an ID Parade in North London. I was the the only one with a bald head so everyone had to wear wigs, it was a most surreal scene especially as you're looking at yourself and the others in the two-way mirror, it was comical had it not been so SERIOUS. I WASN'T PICKED OUT ON THE ID PARADE ( i think the fact that i'll admit i looked rather fetching in my wig might have swayed things my way, i just needed a pair of heels to complete the look ; ) The Home Office Had to downgrade me to a Category B prisoner as i received TWO YEARS PRISON for DRUG IMPORTATION OF CANABIS and a further SIX MONTHS for not showing up at Portsmouth Crown Court. A FOOTNOTE TO THIS EVENT was when the THREE BULLIES were confronted and asked by certain nameless people why they wanted to fight the lone male who'd just ordered a drink at he bar, there honest answer was .... "THEIR DAD HAD DIED THAT SAME DAY AND THEY WERE FULL OF PAIN, HURT AND ANGER" SOMEONE WAS GOING TO BE ATTACKED THAT EARLY EVENING IF THEY HAPPENED TO WALK INTO THAT PARTICULAR ISLINGTON PUB CALLED THE DOWNHAM ARMS DOWNHAM RD...Which incidentally closed down not long after this event. I had been wearing a distinguishing blue and white hooped jersey when this gun incident occurred whilst i was in the pub but i said i'd been drinking with some QPR supporters who were prepared to testify to that to be fact. "WHAT IS A FACT OTHER THAN WHAT THE MAJORITY AGREE TO IT BEING A FACT" Quote by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. It was ALWAYS ALLEGED THAT I WAS THE single male involved in both incidents and even though ALL THESE GUN AND KNIFE CHARGES AGAINST ME WERE DROPPED; THE POLICE NEVER LOOKED FOR ANYONE ELSE EXCEPT ME I was moved to HM Prison MAIDSTONE FROM BELMARSH CATEGORY A SPECIAL UNIT where my daughter Pollie's MUM had to endure all the most intusive security and having to speak to me from behind a glass screen WHICH WAS VERY RARE back in 1991/92 IMPOSED ONLY ON HIGHEST SECURITY prisoners IN BELMARSH.Here i was with a super guy out of BERMUNSEY EAST LONDON called JOHN REED A TOP TOP MAN... OH YEAH WHAT ABOUT WHEN PAUL WELLER THE LEAD SINGER of THE JAM AND STYLE COUNCIL?? Paul Weller's very soon to be WIFE HANNAH, ASKED ME TO HELP WITH STOPPING A MALE FLAT MATE called Ben FORM BASICALLY BULLYING HER and her other FEMALE FLATMATE... WHEN I WENT TO THE FLATto speak to him HE PULLED A GUN OUT AND POINTED IT AT ME .... Read my book for rest of FACTUAL EVENT which took place, my book which went to NUMBER TWO ON AMAZON ..... THE MOST OBVIOUS OBSERVATION .. DODGE WOULD'VE NEEDED A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO GO THROUGH JUST WHAT I CAN OPENLY SPEAK ABOUT...
I could be pedantic and tear someone Joe a new one' over what some may pass over. However, to me MORE heinous than treason THE CRIME of attempting to be SUCH A CLEVER DICKIE..In THE ART OF WAR SUN TZU STATES THAT MINIMALLY BEFORE YOU GO ON THE ATTACK BE SURE TO HAVE DEFENSE IN PLACE. I merely make this point because IF YOU DON'T KNOW NO FROM KNOW THEN NO YOU NOT KNOW TOO MUCH NO I KNOW NUANCE OF NO AND KNOW OR WHEN TO SAY NO YOU KNOW .. I KNOW NO FACT A NO NO CASTING ASPERSIONS INSTEAD OF CHRISTMAS CHEER NOW YOU KNOW KNOW; NO? ; ) I digress I was on different wing and unable get a message. John Kendal tried to mark my card as passed each other briefly that morning but security was very tight around him. He naturally believed id be on exercise yard. Fair observation but i have no need to elaborate or embellish anything i've done, its rather the reverse Joe. Read my book that went to no' 2 approximately 18mths ago. Much easier for you to be less sceptical than you are now once you read and see photos etc
The one in belmarsh is a mini prison in itself you have to get in a van once your through all the security in the main prison takes 45 to get to the main door after many huge metal doors gates inside the grounds when you get into the aaa cat there's 4 visiting rooms 3 with 6 inch glass and it took 6 months until we could give d.c a cuddle was crazy me genson jenny and drew. I've never been to jail once I was taught well to not 🦋🦋
In my book i write about being in BELLMARSH with Bronson on Category A.. I too endured all that security and that included legal team going through it and glass between ANY of visitors. I called it HellMarsh.Fortunately Gun Charges dropped i was moved to HMP Maidstone

Thank you Chelle for your lovely words of support. Thank you very much. Look forward to meeting you sometime in 2024 if you come to one of my shows 🎄🎅🏼❤️
Spot on , I used to no this fella omg lovely guy
I’ve known Jimmy for 25 years and his story is 100% true, he is genuine to the core, an amazing guy with a fascinating life story, nothing but love ❤
Thank you so much Dom. I really appreciate that and it’s at least 25 years. Do you remember when you came to the DROP ZONE at SIBSON AIRFIELD when you was pregnant and Emily came along too when I did some jumps that day?

Well one thing i know hes lying about is gartree escape he never organised that i know andy russell well and he dont even know this grezer..andy was involved in the whitemoor escape aswell well respected guy .
Never met Andy Russell he was a Category B prisoner however, John Kendall is my reference as to my validation vis a vis the fact that the helicopter escape was MY idea and planning. John Kendall is thankfully alive and well and furthermore, has verified my FACTUAL account. I find sad keyboard warriors on occasion never lived a life!!!
Come on dodge name a better way to be working on a sunday than listening to this pod!❤
James’s has lived an extraordinary (to say the least) life, which is truly fascinating and at times terrifying to hear about. Albeit this is a rather condensed resume of it, which leaves one wanting to hear more.
James is now a great contemporary poet, who writes from the heart and I look forward to seeing him perform live.
Having been introduced to James by a mutual friend, it’s hard to imagine such a mild mannered, gentle and charismatic character is who he was.
I’m looking forward to meeting him again to hopefully hear some more of his life stories.
Thank you so much for those kind words, Thomas, that genuinely means so much to me, especially coming from such a successful and highly respected person as yourself

Why say you had out to do with the gartree helicopter escape when you never ?? Listening to many stories in the kitchens.
Belter 👍
This was a tricky one to follow, bit all over the place with timelines etc and Jimmy still holding his carda close to his chest!
Enjoyed it nonetheless!
I didn't make it easy for Dodge I agree; ive never been easy!! Thanks Shaun
@@jamesbrowne5353 understandable once you explain your reasoning etc...much respect to you.
Aaa cat belmarsh used to visit my step dad Mr D. C there totally separate to normal prison holds about 20 men plus Charlie bronson at the time rip dad x
BEWARE LONGEST REPLY IN RUclips History BUT F..KING DYNAMITE : )
I was in Belmarsh with Micky Petterson aka Charlie Bronson, in the special Cat A Unit along with a few others. I went on an ID Parade, they [the potentual wittnesses) didnt pick me out. .
Apparently THREE men tried to attack a guy two days before in a pub called THE DOWNHAM ARMS in Islington the man had only just walked into the pub. Then words were exchanged with one man which led to three men coming outside the pub, so the man literally cut all their clothing, leather jackets in tatters etc WITHOUT CUTTING ANY OF THEM .. with a knife and then exited the scene as lively as he arrived, only to return two days later with a gun and held THE WHOLE PUB UP by lining everyone up because he was looking for the three bullies!
Armed police were called and arrived super fast, and I WALKED OUT OF THE PUB armed police with rifles plus armed squads everywhere.I INNOCENTLY walked along the pavement away from main entrance whence upon a squad of four heavily armed and masked policemen took me down to the pavement with a running kick to my back in the shouder region from behind.
THAT DID THE TRICK
Then seconds later whilst i was being squashed into the pavement i heard a shout;
" WE'VE FOUND THE GUN"
which was a rubber handled short barrelled handgun found in the mens toilet area.
I was naturally unarmed as i walked out of the pub with adrenaline exploding throughout my whole body, my only friend. I was very roughly bundled into an unmarked dark grey SUV van and taken to ISLINGTON POLICE STATION.
I was already wanted because i failed to appear at Crown Court in Portsmouth on drug inportation charges, and I forfeited £25,000 bail assurity someone put up for me because i failed to show up.
This is why i was moved to the CATEGORY A UNIT IN BELMARSH. I had been put BACK ON CATEGORY A STATUS by the Home Office.
Whilst in Belmarsh Cat A Special Unit i went on an ID Parade in North London. I was the the only one with a bald head so everyone had to wear wigs, it was a most surreal scene especially as you're looking at yourself and the others in the two-way mirror, it was comical had it not been so SERIOUS.
I WASN'T PICKED OUT ON THE ID PARADE ( i think the fact that i'll admit i looked rather fetching in my wig might have swayed things my way, i just needed a pair of heels to complete the look ; )
The Home Office Had to downgrade me to a Category B prisoner as i received TWO YEARS PRISON for DRUG IMPORTATION OF CANABIS and a further SIX MONTHS for not showing up at Portsmouth Crown Court.
A FOOTNOTE TO THIS EVENT was when the THREE BULLIES were confronted and asked by certain nameless people why they wanted to fight the lone male who'd just ordered a drink at he bar, there honest answer was ....
"THEIR DAD HAD DIED THAT SAME DAY AND THEY WERE FULL OF PAIN, HURT AND ANGER"
SOMEONE WAS GOING TO BE ATTACKED THAT EARLY EVENING IF THEY HAPPENED TO WALK INTO THAT PARTICULAR ISLINGTON PUB CALLED
THE DOWNHAM ARMS DOWNHAM RD...Which incidentally closed down not long after this event.
I had been wearing a distinguishing blue and white hooped jersey when this gun incident occurred whilst i was in the pub but i said i'd been drinking with some QPR supporters who were prepared to testify to that to be fact.
"WHAT IS A FACT OTHER THAN WHAT THE MAJORITY AGREE TO IT BEING A FACT"
Quote by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.
It was ALWAYS ALLEGED THAT I WAS THE single male involved in both incidents and even though ALL THESE GUN AND KNIFE CHARGES AGAINST ME WERE DROPPED; THE POLICE NEVER LOOKED FOR ANYONE ELSE EXCEPT ME
I was moved to HM Prison MAIDSTONE FROM BELMARSH CATEGORY A SPECIAL UNIT where my daughter Pollie's MUM had to endure all the most intusive security and having to speak to me from behind a glass screen WHICH WAS VERY RARE back in 1991/92 IMPOSED ONLY ON HIGHEST SECURITY prisoners IN BELMARSH.Here i was with a super guy out of BERMUNSEY EAST LONDON called JOHN REED A TOP TOP MAN...
OH YEAH WHAT ABOUT WHEN PAUL WELLER THE LEAD SINGER of THE JAM AND STYLE COUNCIL??
Paul Weller's very soon to be WIFE HANNAH, ASKED ME TO HELP WITH STOPPING A MALE FLAT MATE called Ben FORM BASICALLY BULLYING HER and her other FEMALE FLATMATE...
WHEN I WENT TO THE FLATto speak to him HE PULLED A GUN OUT AND POINTED IT AT ME .... Read my book for rest of FACTUAL EVENT which took place, my book which went to NUMBER TWO ON AMAZON .....
THE MOST OBVIOUS OBSERVATION ..
DODGE WOULD'VE NEEDED A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO GO THROUGH JUST WHAT I CAN OPENLY SPEAK ABOUT...
Old school bank robbers, turned into drug dealers / smugglers,
Hi James, darling ❤
🥰
A lot to say but saying nothing at the same time
Orchestrated the helicopter escape and didn’t no the day it’s happening hmmm
I could be pedantic and tear someone Joe a new one' over what some may pass over. However, to me MORE heinous than treason THE CRIME of attempting to be SUCH A CLEVER DICKIE..In THE ART OF WAR SUN TZU STATES THAT MINIMALLY BEFORE YOU GO ON THE ATTACK BE SURE TO HAVE DEFENSE IN PLACE.
I merely make this point because
IF YOU DON'T KNOW NO FROM KNOW
THEN NO YOU NOT KNOW TOO MUCH
NO I KNOW NUANCE OF NO AND KNOW OR WHEN TO SAY NO YOU KNOW ..
I KNOW NO FACT
A NO NO CASTING ASPERSIONS INSTEAD OF CHRISTMAS CHEER
NOW YOU KNOW KNOW; NO? ; )
I digress I was on different wing and unable get a message. John Kendal tried to mark my card as passed each other briefly that morning but security was very tight around him. He naturally believed id be on exercise yard. Fair observation but i have no need to elaborate or embellish anything i've done, its rather the reverse Joe. Read my book that went to no' 2 approximately 18mths ago. Much easier for you to be less sceptical than you are now once you read and see photos etc
Lo ve ya Jim xx
🥰

The one in belmarsh is a mini prison in itself you have to get in a van once your through all the security in the main prison takes 45 to get to the main door after many huge metal doors gates inside the grounds when you get into the aaa cat there's 4 visiting rooms 3 with 6 inch glass and it took 6 months until we could give d.c a cuddle was crazy me genson jenny and drew. I've never been to jail once I was taught well to not 🦋🦋
In my book i write about being in BELLMARSH with Bronson on Category A..
I too endured all that security and that included legal team going through it and glass between ANY of visitors. I called it HellMarsh.Fortunately Gun Charges dropped i was moved to HMP Maidstone
