Rumours and perceptions, opinions and thoughts! Bag of lies! John Actie is the perfect example of never judging books by there cover. Yes he was a big bloke and a bit of a handful in his day. But this man has a heart of gold, and is not a Murderer. Thank you John! RIP. Lynette White RIP. Ronnie Actie Rip. Yusef Abdullahi Stay Central

[@tomsage7637]

Anyone who’s watched this knows how eye opening this story is! I hope you all took something away from this. Thanks for sharing your story John 🙏🏻

[@clarahopex]

What an amazing raw interview 👏 Such a powerful and chilling story!

[@Lewissummerson]

Just finished watching the 3 part doc yesterday. from Cardiff and had no idea about this, shocking on all levels!

[@andrewbrown8903]

A tragic story for everyone involved. Massive respect to you Big John. The saddest part of this story is no bent fucking copper was ever brought to justice.

[@katiegittins7748]

I’ve stumbled upon this by chance, I’m glad I did. John has spoken brilliantly what a guy!

[@madboygingey]

What an episode watched the documentary the other day! Smashing it Lads,

[@garethdavies5814]

Great Podcast John Actie is a legend. The biggest miss carriages of Justice in the UK John needs to continue to tell his story and we must never forget how corrupt to its core South Wales were and still are. The fact that those detectives still live amongst us is a disgrace, the fact they still receive their pensions is an utter disgrace and we should all continue to expose these disgusting humans. John Actie and all the Cardiff 5 that are still alive keep fighting men your legacy must never be forgotten ❤

[@lewisking8487]

What an episode! What a story to be told FairPlay smashed it!

Big up Central Club, some amazing interviews coming from you guys!

[@drezlove]

Cassa B, we being 3 white guys use to go down there the odd nights never any problems, its great to watch this interveiw and hear the point of veiw from John, not being a Cardiff boy myself, I listened over the years about people talking about "The Acties" personally I didnt know any of them, but after seeing the documentary recently, you could see how much of a stich up it was. Great interveiw John, its been a please to watch.

Quality lads, I remember watching a documentary on this some time ago but this interview gives a whole new side to it. Getting better and better this pod.

Thanks Marcus, every interview is a step closer to becoming a great host!!

[@shaungray4643]

John god bless you.Great listen that lads.

[@fish7215]

Great episode boys. Nice to see an in depth view from Johns perspective too. Give the book ‘fitted in’ a read by Satish Sekar. Goes deeper again than the BBC doc!

[@scouseblarney6232]

These kind of things will always happen but hopefully will be fewer. It is not isolated to South Wales Police, all police forces have bad 'un's in them, having said that Mr Actie comes across as a very humble man who seems to have managed to exorcise a lot of his demons after his horrific experiences. Takes a big man to put into the public domain what he has been forced to go through and the interview is very sympathetically structured to draw out the information without pressuring him into talking about stuff he is reluctant to talk about. Well done lads I really enjoyed hearing his story and I hope more people see this and think about the society we have created and how it always favours the ones in power.

[@ukclarkkent]

Nice piece, lads. You need to get your ears around the Shreds podcast series on BBC Sounds now. If you think the TV docco blew your mind then the podcast series is something else again. Ceri Jackson should be winning awards for what she's done. Keep on, keeping on John.

Great interview! Do listen to Shreds Podcast X thanks John

[@cullanmais8546]

I can’t wait to get stuck in to the shreds, this was last minute from John and Tony so I appreciate them coming down!

[@berlinocelot]

It's crazy to hear him mention Llanrumney because my Nan told it the exact same way. She was from the part of the Docks that got demolished to build Louden Square and she told me that bit by bit everyone was just shipped off to the edge of the city and their beautiful community vanished. She was a proud Docks girl her entire life.

The Casablanca Club, and the blues clubs around the docks were brilliant.

Good dude mr actie stand up guy.

[@darrenbowen4240]

What a guy

[@mjones9708]

I can remember local pub team playing football against gwent police in the 80s and used to draw a crowd to cheer the fouls sulphate city they called themselves

[@RedZu1]

i wonder if the scene in twin town with the fit up was inspired by this story.

[@thecentralclub]

never looked at it like that!!

[@darrendumont3055]

Good shout

[@ubuntuafrique5802]

John is a lion 🦁 The police are the cowards in this story. Using and abusing vulnerable individuals to meet their quotas Stay Central 👍🏿

[@kevintrace5396]

Casablanca club the Mount Stuart the ship and the ship and pilot the sealock Thomas Hastings club they were great places everyone mixed together all races great people

[@absjones2916]

The old Ship and Pilot was a real deal in back in 60’s and 70’s. My father use go there. He was Somali seamen. He told me the story of man being shot there with a full house back in the late 60’s. Respect bro

[@drezlove]

The part where the first trial ended when the Judge died, you must've been thinking, "Am I dreaming all this" Ironic You can recall lots from all those years ago, yet a certain "Prince" can't remember being with a 17yr old.

[@RedZu1]

i cannot believe this story, just watched all 3 of the series and seriously blew my mind. FTP!!

[@thecentralclub]

shocking isnt it.

@@thecentralclub and the guy from Newport I think

[@FlyingWoolf]

If you really are serious about being a 'Voice' through adversity why not highlight the case of Eddie Browning or Philip "Pip" Howard both victims of South Wales Policing . Not all victims of injustice are the basis of racism or colour, John Actie wasn't an angel, neither was Eddie, or Pip, but they didn't deserve that, not at all !!

[@kendothebarstad]

Monties. Can't remember the name of pub near Big Windsor. In the office Weslh Water Crwys Raod. Most, are you insane, you go there!!
