So glad you decided to air this James, allows John’s story to reach other audiences and give hope that the truth always prevails.
👍🏼
Once known as the hardest man in Cardiff at one point, Tough guy, but a very genuine and nice guy with it, glad he's doing ok these days, all the best John. Great interview James.
He was tough but nowhere near the hardest man in cardiff, there were plenty who we would of stopped him in seconds.
John faruggia ???
Realest interview yet,this guy is a real stand up fella.
Wish you well Mr Actie
👍🏼
I know all of these boys who were involved personally they were no choir boys but definitely no murderers . South Wales police are the lowest of the low
What a guy ❤️ Proud of what you have come through John, always a pure gent to the women in Cardiff x
This is one of the best podcasts I’ve watched in a long time ❤️🏴
John’s story was absolutely sincere, really happy the truth was found. Excellent interview James 🙏
John has mellowed almost beyond recognition! Still see glimpses of the old John now and again. Small signs of being irritated and I could see James getting uncomfortable, would have spelled trouble back in the day!
Old bill saw lynnettes murder as an opportunity to get him from under the skin. Everyone else (co accused), we’re just collateral, no even associated with each other. Good to see him looking well!
@@aldo30 not a bad bastard,but someone who people would follow,he was and is much respected In Cardiff.
Tony Paris rest in peace another one of the 5 that died too young very sad .
Fair play, I’m really pleased you took the time to give John his chance to put things straight. I was actually working in the Bridgend police headquarters when it came public that the bag which contained the evidence needed to convict those bent police was actually found under a coppers desk ….. after their trial collapsed…. Through lack of evidence. You couldn’t make it up.
Total gent. Brilliant podcast, really enjoyed it. Take care John and all 💙💙💙🏴🏴🏴
Respect to Actie, Dullah and Paris.. I know family members to this day and back then everyone knew they didn't do it. Whole city showed support, Police back then were well known for their racist corrupt bullshit. Couldn't be touched.
Exactly.Same lot fitted up Mike Obrien n 2 more the year prior to this.You couldnt trust them back then.
The same lot who killed Gary allsop in custody in cardiff bay police station
Unfortunately some Police are still racist to this day. It’s hardly surprising that black communities have no trust or respect for the police. Me being white will never really understand, but I’ve I remember when we were younger back in the 90s and early 2000s my black mate would regularly get pulled over for nothing just to inconvenience him, where as me rarely got pulled over whilst driving. The police used to make excuses why they pulled him over, but it was purely down to the fact he was black.
God bless you John. I can’t think of a worse case scenario of being wrongly convicted of a murder that you didn’t commit. It’s a living nightmare.
James you often give a voice to the voiceless and allow them always to express there story in a true and authentic way. I also appreciate your interview style because you know know when to speak and when to let your guest speak. You make it look so effortless but Its no easy feat constantly having to gage and read an intense interview situation. Tensions are sometimes high and emotions are often to the surface, so a calm demeanour, smile and joke helps to alleviate the situation.
Be it a sports legend or a man wrongly convicted of murder, you treat everyone with the same respect and considered attention. I respect your work and wish you continued success. Keep them coming.🥊.x
❤️
❤
Watched a lot of your interviews James, this one is up there with the best of them
👍🏼
@@JamesEnglish keep up the good work, you're an inspiration. 👊🏻
I'd never heard of this case until a few months back. Saw the documentary on TV and was truly shocked. God bless them all and thank you John for doing this interview. Those cops should be behind bars for the length of time you lot spent in prison.
It ruined lives some are no longer here because of the trauma it caused them while the officers who did it are retired living it large on there pensions.
This guys a total legend. It shaped your life it didn’t fuck it up as your still standing
It’s shameful, an unbelievable disgrace that those corrupt police got away without any kind of punishment.
Where do you get unbearable 🥴
Loved this bloke, what a chap. Brilliantly put as always jamesy bravo young man
another great interview, this story is beyond belief we watched the TV series and couldn't believe/didn't want to believe this could be true but it very much is..Well done...👍
Jonn a Fabulous Man, told his story, look very good for 60,👌 I hope he has good luck with his book and A Blessed life ahead🙏
This is heart breaking. I'm getting emotional watching. All the best John. You deserve everything that comes your way in the future.
👍🏼
big up John , the world need to hear this. one love
Shocking miscarriage of justice!!!
5 men shafted while the killer roamed free
Cracking podcast mate I can't imagine what these fellas went through , keep up the good work all the best from Newcastle 👍
That’s butetown community centre
What a story this is going to be, The Cardiff 5 was the biggest miscarriage of justice ever. Glad to see John is well… Deffo tuning in for this one
👍🏼
It's up there with the Guildford four ! Currupted bastards
Horrifying how these things happen. Nice to see John looking so well. Great interview!
👍🏼
Can't wait for this one James 👍👏💯
❤️
Great podcast. What a great guy. Totally switched on even after all he's been through.
👍🏼
Justice has been a long time coming RIP Dullah
Hale Salasi!

Watched the murder in tiger bay. So shocking what they went through. Those interviews...wow. sad some arent here to tell the story now. I really hope him Miller and tony Parris are ok now . .❤❤❤❤❤
@Reece Chappell cardiff
This podcast was simply the best one done on this awful miscarriage of justice. John was very emotional on this podcast towards the end as he talked about his daughter and the personal impact to his life and his family. I am just amazed nobody from South Wales Police went to prison for this or lost their pension. Complete and utter corruption. Only when investigated by another Police force did prosecutions even happen.
John is a proper genuine person u know
👍🏾👌🏾👊🏾 Yes BRO u a GENUINE GEEZER John, Great too see u on James show❤️👊🏾👊🏾
Just want to say best podcast ever, raw emotion and utter pain from such an injustice is utterly gut wrenching!
Love to this amazing man! wrongful conviction is detrimental to anyone and the wider community.
What is worse is the fact the officers are all not in jail!
This needs more exposure
The central club from Cardiff is where i watched john a few weeks back and tony paris interview cracking interview also
good podcast, gutted for John and the others who suffered. all the best for the future John.
Pulled off another great one here James 👏 keep it up...
👍🏼
Th real deal back in the day when i was a youth, was twice the size and not to be fucked with, like looking at a different man, he ran the docks.
Amazing guy with the remarkable grace not to hate all police. Much more interesting interviewee than a celebrity.
I met John when we worked in the Aylesbury area for a few years , ( landlords were Bastards. ) HE was about seventeen looked. Like the Hulk 78/79 , he didn't turn green but the landlords didn't like him when he was Angry , good luck to him , I know some of the others have not fared well after this injustice , one of many in the shite system called policing ,
I know the landlords ur on about lol,nice one.
I’m johns daughter, and I know the landlords your talking about loool
This is awful! Bless this man ❤️
Watched this story on the telly, omg this lot went through hell and back... You could see the absolute horrific impact this has had on all of those five men through out there lives.... Watching it you could feel there pain... So sad and they lost their dear friend.... Wish John well and I will be watching... Good one James topman for this one.. ☝️🙏🙏💯💖👆

@@cullanmais8546 yes brother James having your seconds only joking this must never be forgotten and your interview with Tony was amazing you were well respect full 👏👍
@@darksideofthemoon1002 thanks anthony! Nah James is cool man we’re little fish compared to him!!!!
My heart goes out to this fella and the other innovent people who had their lives destroyed. I am glad he still has his marbles. I wonder where the going straight to hell police are that did this now.
60 years old wow he doesnt look a day over 40!!
Best podcast for an age. F*ckin outrageous that those public employees get away with this stuff. Hope John Actie has nothing but positives from here on in.
Best one yet.god bless John
John's a nice guy speaks clear he been through hell with all the shit thrown at him at 1 point but he gets on with life good luck to him 🎯
Crackin podcast, thanks to both James and John for this brilliant, emotional interview.
Damn those corrupt south Wales cops, there's a special place in hell for basturds like them .
John, 60 is the new 50, there's still plenty life left in you yet pal, all the best for the future ❤
He looks in good knick for 60.
Many respect for this man come a long way and still spreading the message
Great podcast! However, can I just say that this is the second podcast now that has had poor sound quality.. Mainly on Spotify, almost have to turn the car full volume when driving just to hear.
James, Brilliant watched the 3 part documentary on BBC. It would be Fantastic James, if you get Steve Miller on your Podcast too. 👌
👍🏼
Top interview nice guy respect James
Great podcast. Can you get Tony Paris on and get his side of the story, that would be wicked. Great work 👍
👍🏼
I know tony very well grew up in the same street top top guy tony he wouldn’t harm a fly
The central club podcast just had Tony on after their John actie interview! X
Absolute travesty of justice.

Ronnie actie was a good friend of mine
This sounds like the Central Park 5 (in New York) set up in the late 80s. Worth watching 'When They See Us' on Netflix. Same story.
Yeah that's a good documentary. Those lads got completely stitched up destroyed there lives they did any interview with Oprah Winfrey & you can see on that they had a rough ride.
@@krisgriffiths2985 made to think it happened in Wales a Decade before
Central Park 5 weren’t innocent
Is it still on Netflix?
@@matty6848 yes, still on there for sure.
Brilliant podcast James mate 👌
Incredible story..I wish him well

Wow very powerful story so glad John is doing well now strong man and god blessed
👍🏼
I was told 20years ago by Angela psaila exactly what the Interviewing officer told her to say! Angela and her statement was the key to conviction in this Corruption case
James says "was there a point in the trial where you think im gonna get away with this"?
Well you can only get away with sumthing if you did it James and this guy didnt do it.
Well spotted.
Hear hear!
an absolute disgrace, families were destroyed, the ramifications will still be felt today, i remember this time well, i remember Steven having his business ruined by this corruption, other's changing their names etc, several premature death's probably through stress, lives destroyed
Respect John.......God is with you bro!! Bless
Cardiff legend
Great podcast as always James. Crazy story, highlights the corruption in the UK.
Drinking game: take a shot every time John says “yeno” or “Do ye know what I mean”😂😂
It's y'na'mean - Llanrumney speak 😁
This is so fucking bad! Why would those police want the actual killer on the streets?! Obviously that’s a rhetorical question. God bless this man and the other victims.
Big John 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Great watch
Known as a hard man in Cardiff walking around Glastonbury with an hammer taxing people they just wanted him the fit up was terrible
Neighbourhood Legend 👊🏾🙌🏾
proper loving this one
👍🏼
How can these officers get away with this they should still be able to face justice. This is not fair were is the justice these racist officers must face justice.
I remember hearing about the murder when I was a kid (I lived in the Welsh valleys), watched the documentary on BBC and was fucking shocked! The police so corrupt.
I’ve never even heard of the Cardiff 5 or the murder this is the first I heard of it and what a complete shocking story. But I was a kid when the murder took place so wasn’t even aware of it at the time.
Great podcast James , glad this fella got justice seems like a good lad , have you ever thought about interviewing anyone from the justice for the 21 campaign ( Birmingham pub bombings ) families seeking justice and the police doing everything they can do so they can't get it , they have to collect outside football grounds , a lady called Julie Hambleton would be great on one of these , it's some story . 👍
These Guys Been to Hell and Back 💯 S.W.P🪝Biggest Crooks of all SHAME ON YOU 🖕🏼that's all I'm Saying, I know all involved on Both Sides 🏴R.I.P To All 🙏🏻
Anyone else notice James is being a bit skeptic in the way he’s asking questions?
I think your reading him wrong bro tbh
Fantastic interview from Cardiff myself and I’m glad John is doing well South Wales police are so
Corrupt
Boss one this 👌🏻👌🏻
Wa a Top bloke John actie is & what a great/backstabbing story about time it got recognition & can’t believe them corrupt officers walked man .. really messed innocent mens life’s up .. I’m a Cardiff boy born & Raised GABALFA my dad was sharing a cell with John Actie on A wing in HMP Cardiff & always told me he knew John wasn’t a saint but definitely not capable of brutal murder & knew Ronnie as a family friend and my friends uncle around Gabalfa sad how that man died in a shed big up jon top story hunty 💪🏻❤️👊🏻👊🏻
I seen Ronnie a few weeks before he died in my uncle rockys flat he was in great spirits that day
Much luv bro
Madness this one
👍🏼
