I lived in Belfast during the troubles and I always had friends from both communities. Nobody has to be a bigot. The real tough guys are the ones who didn't get involved and made the peace.
Good man, a man after my own heart mate, I grew up in the Shankill road area, always had friend on "the other side", even in the 70's-80's when the trouble was high, 50 years old now and I still can go to any one of the mates I had back then for a cup of coffee or a roof over my head if needed.
Well said Paul . I lived in the greater Belfast area during the Troubles . I guess I would identify myself as a Unionist / Loyalist . But I also had friends from both communities and thats a major reason why I did not get involved .
@andrew chambers Historically the Catholics are right ...hmm that's a pretty broad statement , care to elaborate how's the Catholics are right ? If you are meaning that the Ulster Scots came in and pushed them off the land , well I would say its was not their land anyway.The Celtic tribes invaded Ireland , Scotland and Wales from what is present day France and Germany. No one has ownership of the land if you want to wind the clock back far enough .So no you are wrong , the Catholics are not right..
@Pablo Escobar No one owns the land ....Please prove me wrong Cabron......if you can ?
@Pablo Escobar No one owns the land but I do not condone the things that were done by Oliver Cromwell against the Irish ,.
I miss when he was on cowboy builders
What 😂

😂😂😂😂he's a cowboy on run
Brilliant haha
Dominic littlewood 😂 dont get dom get done 😂😂🏃🏽♂️
Brilliant interview James....so interesting listening about his life and so glad peace can be the winner.
Coming to watch this again back to back with the Sam Millar episode is remarkable viewing and a true sign of James ability to speak to anyone
Same. Its crazy to think this happened in the UK just yesterday in historical terms
This is why this channel is the best on youtube the diversity of the guests and the stories they have to tell Johnny has been through so much and is still here to tell the tale keep it up James
Mark Lee thanks mark
To be fair this was much better than i thought it was gonna be when I clicked it.
He was much more reasonable and intelligent than id expected and it also gave me some good information regarding loyalist feuds and terrorism, as well as an insight into the IRA side.
Thanks to the both of you.
I only hope Johnny stays like this and provides a service to the world in the form of truth, which he surely can, god bless.
Very well said. Let’s hope things don’t flare up again.
Growing up in Belfast in the 80's and 90's everything he said is the truth, one thing he touched on and very few talk about is the constant fear , its very hard to put that into words to describe what that fear is like but it was constant from hearing gunfire most nights , to houses being shot Into , bars being sprayed with bullets , gun men killing taxi men , army smashing your door in and wrecking your house I mean the list goes on and on ...but even today that fear hasn't really left me . Don't get me wrong im not afraid of much but years and years 9f constant fear leaves it mark on you.
the family across the street from me sponsored a Catholic girl from Belfast one summer. The first few mornings they came into the room she was sleeping on the floor. She apologized but said " it was just habit because in Belfast the bullets go through the windows" that's why she slept on the floor.
I always wondered why my parents were just happy their front door wasn't getting kicked in... Now I know why
I’m still trying to figure out wtf you all was fighting for lol I’m being honest help me
@@rolofox1046 Im not an expert, but I think it was initially an issue of rights and equality and became an issue of who Irish unification. If you watch Sam Millars James English interview, he gives a good picture of how bad the rights were for Catholics
The trauma
I'm a 56year old man from The Falls who would consider my as a republican but I have to say I enjoyed the honest and straightforward interview with Johnny Adair .
Honest when the cameras are on him...he refers to himself in the third person
@jackietreehorn5561 yeah maybe I was taken in by him 🤔
@@jackietreehorn5561 Well the ira were attacking his community . He had a right to defend it . Well done to ppl like Johnny Adair . Its called cause and effect .
@@steveperry8031he attached & destroyed the Shankill & got turfed out..Billy Hutchinson is 10times the loyalists compared 2 him David Irvine was the best loyalists they had
@@Chop2016 It was a dirty war and different Loyalists made different contributions .David Ervine made a great contribution. So did John McMichael , Johnny Adair and Billy Wright..
And cpuntl3ss others who remain in the shadows or who were murdered.
Take all the political rivalries and personality clashes out of the equation and applaud each and everyone of them for what Loyalists were supposed to do , and that was take the war to the ira.
Bever forget that was the main objective.
Thanks for getting him on James. Great interview in my eye it’s your second best to blink

That was a fascinating conversation James .
You actually believe that shit you sad person, he was a tout that killed innocent catholics
@@Preppygirl720 a tout that got 16 years? Wise up!!
Hadn’t seen this before, but very, very interesting. Terrific interview, James. Many thanks.
As an American I've always been confused because it's never truly been explained to me. Listening to you gentlemen talk, it all becomes quite clear. Thank you very much for this
In the tenth century britan tryed to invade Ireland and over the next 600 year's Ireland fought Britain then Cromwellian force's tried and failed although they did inflict bloody casualty's on the the Irish but then in the 1600s the Scottish Protestant came to the North of Ireland then came the rebellion's And rebellion's And rebellion's in the early part of the 20th century the IRA came into their own fighting the black and tans having losses but also having Victories such as kilmickal in1919 under general Tom Barry And then the provisional IRA came into being with Bobby sand's who actually died on Hunger strike in 1981

And this moron adair is his worst interviewee... A complete moron..
Another cracking interview.....thanks James
Interviewer has a good flow and natural good relations, especially to get Johnny to speak so frankly and honestly
After listening to this and James Miller podcast I feel as though the Catholic side were fighting for freedom, whereas the loyalist wanted control through violence.
Loyalist paramilitaries are protecting thier communities against republican paramilitaries
I agree. Chicken and egg
@@thcdavies8479 I think you for forget it was the loyalists who started this
@@thcdavies8479 😂😂 what on earth are you taking about. Why are Protestant boys failing in school badly. While the catholic girls in Northern Ireland are thriving topping the whole of the U.K. in gcse and Alevels. I’m from a mixed marriage. I’ve experienced both communities. Uda target young boys to sell drugs. A lot more freedom and safer in Catholic areas especially if you aren’t white very safe. Loyalists commit up to 90% of racist attacks in Northern Ireland and make half the population. Thr loylaists started the troubles. There houses were not being bombed them. It was the religious bigotry that loyalists had. To the Irish in Ulster it was about civil rights not religion UDA up to there necks in crime and heroin smuggling. Your more likely to be shot or put out selling heroin in an a catholic area in Northern Ireland. Low crime you must be having a laugh 😂
@@thcdavies8479
Loyalist paramilitaries existed before the IRA
And
They still exist even though the Ra doesn’t operate anyone
James English interviews are the best Uk podcasts by far so interesting and informative,
Addicted!!,
listen at work every day 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
❤️
I think the recent interview with Tommy Robinson was better. More relaxed setting.
Great interview again as always . The best podcast on CZcams hands down
👍🏼
Another masterpiece, keep them coming James. Great work.
This was the 4th podcast of yours that i listened to over the last 2 days the first 3 were ex IRA lads and cant get over the contrasts about how he describes his time in the maze compared to the ira lads. These lads were living it up in the maze whereas the ira lads were tortured. The difference in how these 2 grouos were treated is the reason why the ira came to be. Another stand out comparrison is how the 3 ex ira lads made clear that they have no issue with loyalists, protestants, english people or even british soldiers, their issue was with the British goverment. All of them showed a degree of passion and understanding to the other side, i used to have respect for him but after this interview he just came accross as a ganster using a political issue for his excuse to be a gangster
He destroyed the Shankill with drugs
Your comment "3 ex ira lads made clear that they have no issue with loyalists, protestants, english people or even british soldiers " is either naive or just plain stupid . They may have no idea with the people listed above but nevertheless they murdered them . Rubbish statement .
The ironic thing about Johnny adair is that he did more to destroy his own community in the Shankill than 30 years of IRA violence could ever do
Done more for the recruitment of republican paramilitarys after thatcher and paisley well done Adair sack of shit
@Andrew Andrew there was no need IRA for brainwashing thatcher paisley and Adair and where enough to keep a steady flow of new recruits joining the IRA they made them 2nd class citizens in their own country and a million other reasons
@Andrew Andrew couldn't give a fuck 😂😂😂
@Andrew Andrew 😂😂😂go fuck yerself tosser 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Psychopath .
Excellent podcast again James , keep em coming!
Never disappointed James, you always deliver brilliant guests. I grew up in the Gorbals on the opposite side of Adair, but we get to understand what life was like on his side. Thanks!!!
Hi Ray how are you doing today
@@jeanettestilwell2369 are you from the Gorbals too?
He was a sectarian butcher who only murder
Well done on another quility interview James. Your on a good run mate. Some top interviews over the past month. Keep them coming brother!
Excellent interview. Adair very forthcoming and explains well what we went through living through the troubles. The fear is real and why many of us emigrated elsewhere, me Canada.
Another brilliant interview James
Really good interview James, time flew by. You now need to even up the sides.
It shows you ,people are not born bad ,, the circumstances they live with changes them, it is so sad to see all such conflicts going on in the world,, one day we hope peace will prevail ,,,,
Just watched this 1 James, fck he's got a story to tell, great interview.
A story???. Ffs mate.. Catch yourself on... Hahahaha... Aye.. He lives in wonderland.. If you believe 1 word comes out of this imbeciles mouth.. You're as daft as a brush.
He was a bigoted wee runt
He’s right about the kids being scared..he drove past us 1 night in a big Ford Sierra and just looked at us....we shit ourselves and ran home n told are mas.they were mad days and Adair was a mad man
I worked in Scotland during the late 90's and most of my colleagues were loyalists and absolutely loyal to their cause. I'm a West of Ireland Catholic those lad's drank with me, laughed and we had mutual respect. Great worker's, we were friends co worker's. There was a bit of slagging going on, but overall I made friends. I was attacked one night and these lads stuck up for me. And I felt fear after 4 guys hammering me, these ulster Scots called to my flat a few times a week seeing that I was OK and my mental state was OK.
It changed my narrow view of loyalists....I stopped tarring them all with the same brush...
Thanks m8 brought up around the Church of Scotland meant nothing because I was taught to live and let live and if I ever heard someone from either side heckling the other I just closed my ears obviously there were not brought up the same and who was I to judge back then .
I went to Southern Ireland lots when I was young the family all prodys would rent same house year after year just of burtonport 20 years on we still send and receive Xmas cards from what’s left of that generation lovely loving people always made sure we felt at home thou I never asked personally what they thought of the ira I was able to judge these lovely people were embarrassed of the situation the ira was doing at the time ashamed is not the word and this was in around 1994
I’m by now way making excuses for the British no way but look where things are heading if we don’t let sleeping dogs lye shits going to hit the fan for sure and worst of all everyone that’s lost there life’s is only going to be history repeating itself unless we as a whole make the changes now
That's all fair enough, but you do accept that being a catholic makes you a loyalist target? That was enough for your death warrant.
@Christy Dolan we'll file this comment under 'things that never happened
@@boldbhoy67 maybe in some places yes, but what I was trying to say was they're not all the same.

@@irishwolfhound5703 Hopefully now anyway prods and nationalists can build some bridges and get on with life.
Il check Google.. but did Johnny kill a protestant & just order the murders of catholics
The war in Northern Ireland was between people who identify as British (mainly Protestant ) and people who identify as Irish (mainly Catholic ) . It was never a religious war. Like every other war it was about identity an territory .
There were some sectarian elements. I admit it was mostly political however the sectarian religious element was significant.

No idea why this popped up after watching somthing else. Didn't know you from Adam. Now you another podcast added to my weekly show to catch up on. Very interesting guest his story i could have maybe gone the same way if I still lived there (moved when I was 2).
Liked your style of interviewing.
Good to hear he is still about was wondering what he was up2, not heard anything about him since the danny dyer programs.
Thanks for share,nice to see things getting better in Ireland,great video and chat,good health long life to all.

I understand the history of Ireland and the horror & sadness of the "troubles" but putting that aside, I can see both sides; those that wanted sovereignty & those that felt they wanted to stay with the UK. Always for me though, is the overwhelming sadness that this happened at all. Ireland is a beautiful country & the Irish are utterly fantastic people. I hope now that they will all live in peace but I think it won't be possible as we all now face new enemies, but at least now we can stand together to face them. God bless Ireland & for different believers ...may you be happy & live in peace.xx

Whatever about him turning his life around, I think people watching this video should know that Adair wasn't some loyalist hero fighting the IRA, he never even killed a single IRA member, he used to kill Catholics at random
At Adair's trial in 1995, the prosecuting lawyer said he was dedicated to his cause against those whom he "regarded as militant republicans - among whom he had lumped almost the entire Roman Catholic population".
If you think that just because it ain’t in a court document that he killed anyone in the IRA means he didn’t you surely arent thinking right guy had c company who carried out assassinations n such
Hi Johnny and so glad to see you are doing so well and I do remember you and hope you are ok over there but we would need you home xx

Great interview, I live in NI there is still hatred on both sides to this day, never will it be back to the old days but unfortunately both sides will never trust other and 1st time u meet a new person like workdays etc it's good to try and figure out which religion the person is so as incase the wrong thing can't be said, I come from a loyalist village and I respect Adair, hes telling everything with true words. Unfortunately paramilitaries are still recruiting to this day.
There was a Mad Dog MC Coll in the 1930's NY life. He was from Donegal!

Enjoyed watching this and the one with Seamus Although this one was more about Jonny himself and not expanding as much as Seamus did in his interview
Loved both
Good interview. 100% correct, trust no one bar yourself.
I'm a "Catholic" (I'm Athiest now that I'm older and have a mind of my own to think) from Co.Down but you have to respect the way Jonny has changed. He said himself if he was born on the other side he'd be in the IRA, so it just goes to show it all depends where you grow up. He didn't make a decision to be a Loyalist, it was a sure thing growing up on the Shankhill.
@covenanter You need a girlfriend and a hobby. Your life must be bereft of joy.
+Craigbrown1999 I think Johnny's "born on the other side" comment shows him to be merely a thug without principal.
@@adammartin7007 exactly nothing but a gay thug that would use any excuse to make trouble.
Craigbrown1999. Johnny didn't need to be born on the other side to admit wanting to joining the IRA. His admission, like many of them, only testifies to the deep seated affection and admiration they had and still have for the IRA. If by some strange miracle they asked him to join ranks he would be over the moon. Make no mistake about it. That's the pull the RA have.
Lamentable. What 2-page anti-Catholic palp leaflet did you read that from? There is not a chance in hell that someone of your apparent intellect would ever be aware of Teilhard de Chardin through his own research and interest.You have nothing but a postage stamp knowledge of such men. If Catholicism leads to atheism, then Protestantism - whatever the hell that is - clearly leads to it in double-quick time. For most, the belief has long gone...only the anti-catholicism remains. @covenanter

His own people turned on him he was that foolish. Listening to this I was surprised, he sounds more intelligent than some people you’ve interviewed. Nice to hear him say we are all human which we are. I have nothing against this chap because he done more damage to his own people than he could have to any catholic. Has he changed his criminal way?

Great insight into your life and a true speaking
Got too honest. I'm not the biggest Adair fan. But this shows what a good interviewer James is. And fair play to Adair for opening up. Good work.
What a fascinating interview, as an Englishman, I genuinely cannot imagine the hardship and brutality that so many Belfast folk experienced, it really saddens me, deeply. For me, it matters not that this man was Protestant or Catholic, for in reality he could have been either. I hope Belfast has a rosier future with the peace process. But every word was fascinating.
He didn't tell the truth though
It wasnt just Belfast, it was across all of NI.
Hardship and brutality was caused by people like him on both sides. All terrorists, evil psychopaths and guilty of murders.
