Hello, I have a question. Would you consider having Brian Harvey on your show? I'm not sure if you have had already.
Bring on the two SAS troopers who were broken out of an Iraqi prison , that would be illuminating.
All just some silly misunderstanding eh?
@@jamesoneill2933 it was an Iraqi police station.
@@nik-ev3eh Thank you for the correction although, it's how they got there which people need to be aware of.
@@jamesoneill2933 their cover got blown at a police checkpoint
What a guy! Old school English man, tough as nails. Last of a dying breed sadly. Thankyou for your service Mr Horsfall 👏🏼
You can tell he’s a highly intelligent man alongside clearly being ridiculously tough and brave.
My own dad is 77 and was brutally beaten by his own father from 5 yr old till he was about 19 it still haunts him to this day and when he's had a good drink he gets upset about it. I'm glad to say he was a good dad to my sister and I.
At least it has a great ending raising what I imagine are two great people. 🙂
@@Ej-en2lz thank you
What a man ❤
What a man ...true legend , we need more guys like this in UK right now
This man is intelligent in every subject put to him, a rare quality indeed.
This guy's story about his youth really reminded me of myself, and all of the stuff he overcame as well. Rob is a man among men, and an absolute legend.
Imagine if our Country was run by these legends instead of the clowns we have in office
True Story
It wouldn't make a difference. The UK is preordained to fall.
What a guy
Would you really want a man like this running your country???
He served as an NCO in the British Army, after leaving the army he was unable to hold down a job for any significant period of time.
He served as a mercenary for short periods in Mozambique and Sir Lanka but departed those countries long before the wars were over.
Robin has no qualifications or experience which would make him suitable to run any country.
He is a hypocrite and a warmonger encouraging further escalation in a war that he is unwilling to fight in himself.
If Robin was running this country we would have been destroyed by a nuclear war more than a year ago.
Robin yes please, though james i wouldn’t let run a chip shop.
You can see it in his eyes.
This is a very serious man, intelligent and an absolute pleasure to listen to
I have to admit this has been one of the best interviews I've listened to in a long long time.
This guy has been an inspiration to not only me but so many others. He's a complete legend and a credit to this country.
I wish there were more people on this earth like this guy and our government should take stock and listen to this guy!!
No doubt while listening , you put on camouflage makeup and quoted Travis Bickle" you talking to me ?"
Don't worry , you're only insane if you answer back , "there's nobody else here".
Il second that comment @timfry2295 completely inspiring. Nothing more to say.
Thank you for your service Robin.
What an interesting, knowledgeable and articulate man. I will look for his books. I could listen to him all day thank you
His book Fighting Scared is very good. I read it in 2009. Going to dig it out & read it again
I like Robin but i don't agree with him politically but I'm very glad I met him at a signing event a while ago. A real hero.
I could listen to Rob for hours.
A true gentleman, articulate, insightful, considered, humble. Thankyou Mr Horsfall, there were some words of wisdom spoken there that I hope to take on board.
Quality podcast as usual James! A wise elder with genuine life experience. We could learn a lot from him
I could listen to Rob Horsfall all day long. A thoroughly decent bloke who you’d want next to you if it all kicks off. I’m sure if he’d entered the army as an officer he would have risen to a very high level.
AS a RCT recruit in Aldershot in 84, i am well aware of what the Paras could and would do. Until myself and several other recruits were chased out of town, well they were, i sat there eating my chips from the chip shop. Mr Para asked me why i did not run away, i replied that if they were going to beat me up anyway, i might as well enjoy my chips. They stole my chips but gave me back the the bag with 1 chip in it. One guy said, you aint big enough to be a Para but you got some balls. That was week 3 in training, week 4 and above saw me get best Recruit at passing out parade. 162 That is down to that 1 Para that gave me 1 chip back and spoke to me alone after everyone else ran off. Motivation.
The Greatest Interview you’ve ever done James, This Guy from a different Planet of Intelligence, The Lovely part of his interview is describing teaching his kid’s swimming and helping them. And well done to Heather his wife for her massive support and intelligence. Loved it Ex Veteran.😊❤
‘People believe the myths of history, they don’t read it enough’. What an impressive man Robin Horsfall is. Brilliant interview, James - one of the very best.
I could listen to this guy talk all day , amazing guest
He is a proper guest
Buy his book, great read
Everyone should listen to him. He’s an amazing, very impressive man. Proper.
He’s book is great. No excuses. Proper heartfelt.
Grew up in Aldershot and Farnham .was born in Aldershot military Hospital.
I can confirm that Aldershot was a pretty dangerous place on a Friday and Saturday night, particularly around The Pegasus pub and Arcade. The town went downhill quickly once the Paras moved out.
What a lovely gentleman Robin is 👍
An excellent interview. Thank you all round....I have read Robin's autobiography many times. A real inspiration....Thank you for your service to our country..
Great interview James, as always. Thank you Mr Horsfall for a great interview, your many years of service and your sacrifice so that most of us can live a safe quiet life. I wish you the best for the future. You have more than done your bit.
Such a fantastic man. He talks an incredible amount of common sense. Loved this, these people are true inspirations
This is one of the best yet! What an amazing guy, and amazing podcast! James, asking all the right questions to get to the root of him. Robin is an amazing orator, a pleasure to listen to. Will be buying the book 👍🏻
This is the only podcast I watch on TH-cam now, always great guests and you have the best interviewing style, open and honest and you get the best out of your guests x
Dunno about always great guests
Not always. Far too many OF bimbos and "gangsters" for my liking.
Get yourself onto Dodge Woodall
Superb interview jimmy, robin is one of the most interesting and well rounded people I’ve listened to, keep up the good work man.
Thank u both for this interview. Great watch 😊😊
I read Robins words on LinkedIn every day, informed and articulate. Another great interview by James.
Top bloke engaged with the man and woman on the street. Thank you robin 😊😊
Class interview, can tell James enjoyed speaking and listening to him the way he got involved with it
👍🏼
More people like this James. Absolutely fascinating guest
I'd rather hear from people like this than wastes of space dealers and little boys.
Great interview! Great interview and Robin seems like a really clever dude! Thanks guys!
Nice. I read this guys book and its probably the most honest book on the sas i have read. Down to earth and the big i am bravado. Cant wait to watch this interview tonight

Thank you gentlemen, great interview, thanks for sharing.
Brilliant man. Great story. Disagreed with his view of MAGA towards the end of the episode, but nonetheless, a brilliant and articulate man. Loved listening to him.

👍🏼
Great interview James mate👍amazing bloke with massive balls.
Thanks
Thanks for this fantastic podcast! We need to hear more of this and we need more men like Robin
I was born and raised in the Bogside in Derry. I lived through the troubles, and I clearly recall most of the violent incidents all the way through from 1968 until the present day when violence is almost completely non-existent. I agree with some of the previous comments that this man comes across as very intelligent and articulate and by his own account has certainly led a very action packed and interesting life. I'm a proud Irishman, and I have no hesitation in saying that over a 30 year period, 95% of the British soldiers who had any contact with me going about my daily life in Derry were pretty decent young guys, no complaints whatsoever about their behaviour, but let's get real, they weren't all angels folks. Some of them behaved in a disgraceful manner. And that's putting it mildly. But I switched off when he started to quote the tiny number of armed forces members who have ever been convicted of killings in Ireland, and his ludicrous claim that ''almost 100% of the people they killed were killed in defence of the public". The reason for that tiny number of convictions of army killers is that the killings certainly were not fully investigated and there was a reluctance on the part of the police, the judiciary and the people in power at the very top to bring the crown forces killers to justice. I could rhyme off about a dozen names of people whom I knew personally who were killed by British troops without justification. And we'll set aside the Bloody Sunday massacre which has been examined in minute detail and the whole world knows what happened there so we'll leave it at that. I had a 15 year old friend who was shot by a soldier with a high powered rifle as he was sharing chips that he'd just bought with his first weeks wages. A totally innocent child. I knew a guy who was shot whilst he was a passenger on a regular city bus minding his own business as it travelled past an army base when a bored soldier opened fire on the bus as it drove by. I exchanged a "hello" with a young man in his 20's dressed in a suit as he walked past me and a group of friends, he was shot dead a few seconds later from a sandbag post and the army issued a statement claiming he was a gunman. There have been DOZENS of well documented unlawful killings by British forces in Ireland. And many more that were kept hushed up. www.impartialreporter.com/news/23049557.new-information-pitchfork-murders-heard-commemorative-event/ And the British government just this week in 2023 have rushed a "Troubles legacy bill" through Westminster to ensure that no further Army killers will ever be brought before the courts.
All sides took innocent peoples lives as in all conflicts always have done
Nailed it
@@medxl766 Ok but you could at least express a little regret at this awful truth - otherwise you come across as an apologist for horror, and that aint cool.
@@Paul-dv4dr mate it’s horrible but all armed conflicts kill innocent people, l don’t condone it but that is the fact regardless
@@medxl766 You're not thinking, lad! It's not a fact! No innocent people are killed in naval battles, air-to-air battles, or even land battles, only when armed forces are trying to occupy civilian/mixed areas.
What a great guy 🫡.
Epic interview, amazing 👏 Robin, thank you
James thank you
Excellent interview James. Robin sounds like a great chap and looks a lot like Alf Garnett. Up the 'ammers.
What a interview. One of best bu a country mile. Love & respect robin. What a hero ❤️❤️❤️
A great interview, loved this one!!
👍🏼
AWESOME point in this interview Mr Horsfall brings is to speak with the wives of Special Forces soldiers have them bring their experience.
This fella is a very intelligent man the first sentence he said was about his childhood I can't help to think his step dad maybe put the fear in life in him so he went that down road this podcast is brilliant 👍👍
one of the best interviews yet
I could listen to this guest all night, very articulate. Reminds me of the type of guy who hung around with the Krays!! I’d definitely want him on my side !!
Thank you Sir excellent great dialogue very inspirational wass feeling pissed off today. Go on YRSELF BIG YHEN James TC ❤🎉❤
What a wonderful self awareness
What an episode James, I was transfixed with this one, I served with the RAF starting as a 17yr old boy from the gorbals, after almost 7 years service I applied for a further 3yrs engagement but was refused as my conduct was considered unsuitable for airforce life, I was at RAF Hereford for a training post during my career, anyway one day I would love to have a gibber with you m8, just one wee nip at you would be sort the error in the title please😂, love, peace and respect 2u, one of Glasgowest finest, thank you for your service✊️
What a great interview and such a charismatic guest!
Nice honest interview with Robin and very interesting, although I have read about his life before. Robin makes a very valid point when he discusses the interpretation of "killings" in NI and the difference between an academics choice of words and someone who has been there and on the ground. When he descibes his position as a soldier and neither side being his more preferred cause, I am an Ulsterman and lived in an area that was always in the fore of the news. It was a friendly, mixed community of good friends that were divided by political failures. I could have very easily, as many of my friends did, joined the ranks of this organisation or the other. It was not however what or how my parents raised me and when I came of age I joined the British Army. I chose to serve the people of my homeland and tried to play some small part in ridding our land of terrorists, from whence they came, religion and politics were but words. I'd like to think I served fairly and represented all that was good and tackled all that was bad equally and I had and have never had any problems in using lethal force against any person, group or organisation that may have placing lives at risk. We owe a debt of gratitude to all who served and we owe them all, more than money can buy. Thanks to so many, my children and my grandchildren, I hope will never see or experience that which I have, and whilst we may not yet have perfect peace, we've come along way, but as Robin is all to aware of, weak willed, politicians are not doing a good enough job of stopping the spread of a very different narrative on what reall happened. Great job James and thanks Robin.
Robin one of the true full ones
What an absolute gentleman
I wouldn’t want to be in the shoes of any one who underestimates this man.
SAS = Hard as F@ck!
Hard as F@ck????
Ask him how long he spent in the wars in Mozambique and Sri Lanka?
Ask him why he left those wars long before they were over.
Ask him why he is so keen for other people to fight and die in Ukraine but will not volunteer to fight in Ukraine himself?
Ask him why he does not have the intellectual capacity or courage to engage in rational debate when his hypocrisy is exposed.
Ask him why he would rather block people on social media rather engage in rational debate and have his hypocrisy exposed.
Love these Seasoned Vets!
Interesting interview but preferred the one with ex-sas Rusty Firmin. He really does understand what's happening in Britain today.
Loved this chat
Men like him is the reason this tiny island is as powerful as it is ! 🇬🇧
Not any more I'm afraid .
Were currently all imagrants and rainbow people.
@@rozzer666😅😅😅
Powerful as it is ? Wow if putin attacked us you’d see how powerful we are
Was as powerful as it was
Robin, total legend

This was brilliant, I’ve been following this chap on LinkedIn for some time. Just gone and purchased his book. Great work from everyone on both sides of the camera.
I agree with him in regards to the British military.. but not in regards to his politics
Wow that was a belter , great story’s

Fantastic pod mate.
Fantastic podcast amazing guy well done James once again❤
❤️
Respect best one you have done
👍🏼
Your interviews are the best on TH-cam Jammy boy you give enough about yourself for your guest to open up, yes it does help you have a legend like Robin on ,but this just flowed mate really it ,all the best love from London and Dublin x
Never expect a soldier to know anything about politics.
He does what he is told. Thinks what he is told to think.
Not sure he gets the real reason behind a lot of wars, especially what's happening in Ukraine. All wars are banker's wars.
Amazing story!!
Great vid mate
James your going places lad always been a fan and never missed a pod /vid yet the guests are always interesting love hearing there stories 💙
Appreciate that mate
This man is a legend
Very interesting guest, That was a great conversation,
