- This Hallowe'en join us as we welcome the legendary writer and director of Withnail and I, Bruce Robinson, to discuss They All Love Jack, the tale of a gripping quest to discover the identity of history’s most notorious murderer and a literary high-wire act.
Bruce is a national treasure. Thank you for posting!
I love Bruce, always so modest and honest, when you look at what he has achieved he really is a wonderful man
Bruce Robinson is an excellent speaker. So pleasant and affable he is a joy to listen to even on a subject as grim as The Whitechapel Murderer.
I could spend most of the day listening to Bruce Robinson; the balance I would spend listening to the diction of the great Richards - E. Grant and Griffiths - delivering their lines in Withnail & I
Brexit is anti-EU, not anti-european. Also, Cameron is not right-wing. He flew down to join Murdoch on his yacht in the Med to tell him the Blair Project was safe in his hands. This is how Cameron got Murdoch's newspapers on his side.
This is a fantastic book. Urge everyone to get it.
Ok Bruce
This book is more a history of Victorian (lack of) morality than anything else. The man has a way with words and it is an absolute page-turner. I wish I had three hands so I could rate it 3 Thumbs Up!
I am enjoying Bruce's book, but would point out Stephen Knight never said Prince Eddy actually carried out the murders - he said Netley, Gull and Sickert. Also. I am dismayed as he doesn't seem to know the Juwes/ Masonic theory was first aired to the mainstream public, on BBC 1, in 1973, three years before Knight's book, in a six part docu/drama called 'Barlowe and Watt investigates'. Barlowe and Watt were characters in a police drama called Softly, Softly. I have this on dvd, a copy, and watched it recently so my memory is not fading. For those who are interested it's in the 2nd part called 'Double Event'
Spot on. Not having read his book, I also doubt that he includes PM Ted Heath's act of adding 70 years to the moratorium on the release of the Case Papers from the Records Office at Kew. Why? If the killer was a relatively insignificant person, why would that warrant such secrecy?
@@stirlingmoss9637he does talk about the papers not being released. The book is not so much about a specific person being significant, but instead an institution, freemasonry.
@@NAB001 hence the graffiti saying the Jeues shall not be blamed for nothing.
@@stirlingmoss9637'Juwes'.
'The Juwes are the men that will not be blamed for nothing'.
The host is excellent!
this is a fantastic book .as with everything bruce has ever written it has his dark humour crashing through.the guy is an institution. i raise a glass to this fabulous man.and of course he will raise a glass to anything.peace, love and blessings bruce.chin chin.
peggs1 he's raising too many glasses it seems
Sober up.
Sorry, I like Robinson too but he's way off beam with his theory on this one and the book has been completely slated.
Methven - the book can be slated forever ,it doesnt matter. Who else would write " F.M. " in mary kellys blood ? Michael is your man , and only a couple of suspects fit the physical description - maybrick and one other . A ginger man , very menacing.
@@FantasyVisuals Oh dear, you'd convict someone on just that. Please don't do jury service - ever.
Fascinating, Bruce certainly has a pair, you have to give him that! Whether or not Maybrick was the Ripper, the book is an amazing piece of invective, and a pretty accurate indictment of Victorian, and modern, society. The book could have done with a good editor, granted, but he makes some good points, I particualrly liked the fact that he put the boot into so called 'Ripperologists', who have turned this fiends actions into a profitable industry, and who pontificate and flex over it all as an intellectual exercise. In many ways, this isn't just a book about Jack the Ripper, and that's the point. I would recommend it, and also, if you really need to delve further, The Five, by Hallie Rubenhold.
On the contrary, the book is a good read-nothing in it is superfluous. One can always skip ahead if one wants to get to the actual details of who he was, but it's nice to know the background against which he was operating.
I read the book just now. I wished he (Bruce) would write more about Micheal Maybricks death or last years. I know that he said Micheal "disappeared" form the civilised world. But damn It's interesting to know more about Maybrick.
Michael may Rick moved to the Isle of Wight and it was all covered up from the masons
I am reading this fantastic book for the second time.
I’m reading it for the third time. A great resource.
Superb book.
Also The Ruling Class (1972 !) got it pretty close too...
A fascinating book. To be recommended.
Somebody states below that this very book was slated. Well who slated it that is what I want to know... what is their back-catalogue of work so that I can measure them against? I am willing to bet they are flag-wavers if they exist at all.
Fantastic book !
wow nice one that's interesting, thank you Bruce
A brilliant book
Great book maybrick was Jack as far as I'm concerned job done,would be great if was follow up about the murders Jack did elsewhere
Thanks for Uploading.
Fact of that matter is we will never know who he was, I highly doubt the police even suspected the real Jack. However Bruce’s book is definitely worth the read, most accurate account by far of life in that period
Clearly, Hillary Clinton is not a suspect in the Whitechapel Murders case....but she certainly reminds me of some of the victims
Interesting point. You're not related to Bruce, are you ?
@@susannamarker2582 NO....and I wasn't Born in the USA
Interesting that Prince albert victor and maybrick had a connection.
Considering its previously been suggested that p.a.v fathered a child to one of the women and the 4 other women were her friends.
Also that he stated the king was highest fm.
Just pondering.
Erm...the first speaker got the location wrong in the first sentence. Not 'Whitehall', of course......it was Whitechapel! But, then again......?
I am getting this book ASAP
You should - did your read it? What's your take?
I did ha ha! It's a heavy read but an amazing historical documentation of Victorian Brittan . A must read for sure.
My apologies for the tardy reply.
It's a pity Bruce doesn't acknowledge Alan Moore's contributions to the idea of the murders being rituals based on Freeemasonry back in the 1990s in his comic From Hell.
ya stephen night dont agree with that. it makes mire senae that waren rubbed it off the wall so thwre would not be riots that makes more sense than him protextinf a free mason ok why woundt we belive that isrial swartz was protextinf a jew witj kosminski that is more documented than this so thwre more of a chance that ia truw than this but whatever
@@jamesdean6478 the Juwes /masonic connection was first aired in 1973, three years before Knight's book, in a six part docu/drama called 'Barlowe and Watt investigates JtR'. It wasn't Knight at all. Barlowe and Watt were top policemen in a show called 'Softly, Softly', and it ran in the UK for many years
Nor Stephen knight in the early 70s
@@billyellis4670 He mentions Knight in the book and in the talk before the Jaipur Literature Festival. You may want to do some research before flapping your jaw.
Not sure he’s right about who Jack the Ripper is but as books go on the subject it’s the best thing I’ve read x
buying it a.m. excerpt hooked me....has anything changed
Jack the Scrubber!!
I came across a discount copy of this a while back but let it go - I obviously made a huge mistake and have to buy this book
I knew him well. Love his anger...
My mother was an art teacher in the same Suffolk town as you in the 80s. I remember going round your house when I was a kid! Matthew
I might join The Masons.
Does anyone know if you can get in at a discount if you do a direct-debit?
:0)
these days? probably.
Its actually quite a good argument but we need to hear a counter point of view.
Still it's a lot more convincing than all the other suspects that I've heard about.
A Liberal asking for a "counter point of view"....that's refreshing!
It's a pretty good theory if the locations and dates of the guy on his singing tour and the locations/dates of the postmarks of the Jack the Ripper letters do actually line up. But even if he sent the letters that's not proof that he did it.
Elizabeth Short .... a.k.a..The Black Dahlia was Cut in Half..
Hey, I may change my mind about this guy...
All the booze finally caught up with him, lol. I'm a first-generation Withnail & I fanatic, so it's sad to see him go all dotty in his old age, though it happens to the best of them, I guess. Still, it's as if Marwood wound up as some old man ranting about Freemasons and Jack the Ripper. Not the way I'd have pictured him turning out as he walked away from Withnail and towards his budding film career, eyes full of wonder and promise. File under: Downsides to Getting Sober.
We need people like Bruce, but I don't feel moved to chuck out modern masonry, or indeed our Monarchy. Blair was a marxist at University. I never voted for him.
He was smokin in Romeo and Juliet!
I thought he was smokin in Still Crazy
Interesting.... I tried to Google the mayor's of early 20th century Ryde mayor's and all I got was recently elected mayor's 🤔
Wow that sounds awesome free England you know freedom the American way. You just had to go back in time to England Drugs ya
Interesting
Very good up to 0:08 seconds when an adult wished the audience HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!Anything after that could not possibly have any credibility.
Wrong right off the bat, not the widows men, but sons of the widow, or the widows son are the terms that are used, if his research got that little matter wrong how does he expect us to believe the rest of his narrative.
Well, Cherry-Blossom now does sprout spontaneously on The Mile End Road...
Robinson was definitely in need of an Editor when writing this, 300 pages max.
Strange..my book states '1200 harlots on the streets '.. maybe I have the freemason edition!! Interesting book all the same.
i noticed the same thing with my copy
and james maybrick was never a suspect before the diary
It was Michael Maybrick, his brother. Read the damned book.
Aaron Komiski, 'nuff said.
Kazminski.
The DNA results were mess up - Kosminski ? Nah dont think so
He was a Jew....so it's a no-no to mention him....ruins the preferred revisionary history and the desired agenda.
I think it is Kosminski. And he lived in London until 1919. I don't think it was him because serial killers don't just stop killing.
@@davidgori4500 He stopped killing because he was locked up in a mental institution.
9:31 interesting choice of words...
Alcohol is destroying Bruce
Isnt he 107?
Time is doing a number on him too.
@@finkelsteinshitkid1299
On all of us......
It's the way of all flesh.
@@henryottis295 I was just being sarcastic, as Bruce is only human, and he’s at those stages of life where Time is no longer an ally in terms of one’s longevity, or one’s youthful physical appearance. That being said, I have heard him say somewhat recently that he wasn’t currently drinking, and had been on hiatus for sometime now, because of health issues, though that had to have been at least 4-5 months ago.
Balls! He only drinks the finest wines available to humanity.
Chanty-rassler.
Doesn't explain how some of the victims had little blood , they were killed elsewhere then moved and laid out. Stephen knight theory
If you watch the Jaipur Literature Festival talk, he indicates that the Knight book was an intentional diversion, meant to sour everyone on the idea that the Freemasons were involved.
@@stefanfrankel8157 they were ritually laid out stephen knight already said this. He also said that knight said prince Albert was JTR , he never said that in his book.
@@billyellis4670Prince Albert died 17 years before the Whitechapel murders, so unlikely to be him 🤣🤣🤣
@@paula3124wrong
m.th-cam.com/video/5alxci9IzMQ/w-d-xo.html
and he was singing that night that makes him less likely suspect most if not all the letters were fake
You dont know what youre talking about. The letters predicted the ripper murders in stunning detail , including a little boy. one letter even gave maybricks address , and another stated "I have a sore throat " (maybrick was on tour at the time)please stop spamming.
00:22 “Whitehall” ? Waxing lyrical on notoriety of the crime but can’t even establish location, let alone identity...
I think maybe a slip of the tongue.
That's the host, you dweeb. Robinson never said that. And you know damned well that he never said that. Even you aren't that dumb.
at 52:25 what is he saying? paedo?
Pédé is “queer” in French (the talk is in Paris).
Elm House Productions proudly presents "The Savile Has Landed" Co-starring Cliff Richard and Tony Blair. Episode One : We all like a nice young boy.
Thatcher was a man.
@jimmy. She was rumoured to have a bigger cock than Ron Jeremy. X
Don't be silly.
@@susannamarker2582 best man for the job,they said.
if he was that famous wouldnt the witnesses all know who he was. when hutchinson saw kelly witj jim neother one new who he was but yetbje was the most famous singer again makes no sense so i can come back at u bruce with alot of questions bro 🤔
Don't think they had youtube back then.
No. Jimmy Savile was famous, and he got away with it for years. And Cliff Richard. And the young Tony Blair.
@@Stantheman848 Newspapers were the TH-cam of the day and there were over 100 available there...
it will never be probem it almost was witj dna but that was undetermined so if we cant prove the dna how do we know for sure therw ia just better suspects than other but we can not know for sure sorry unless we go back in time
Dawkins.
Is the world an actor based reality show?
Given permission, BS
what about the medical and surgical knowledge of jack the ripper? he didn't address that and the dumb audience forgot to ask that. audiences are so friggin dumb nowadays. they always forget the most obvious questions. very annoying.
NAH. SHILL.
One technical point about this presentation: Authors should NEVER EVER read their own works aloud. They invariably read them badly, no matter who they are.
Have you heard Will Self reading his own work?
Or David Sedaris?
or William Burroughs?
@@nisbend Will Self is unbearable. Even his name reeks.
@@pinetree1616 when I want your opinion I'll give it to you ;-)
it was george allen cross, fact
it is NOT a FACT! and he is NOT Jack!
fukin morin kosminski is best suoext by far cross he onky foubd a body thats it ok john davis foubd the body of chapman so maybe he was the ripper u fikin moron he is an ok susoect but hes not the best auspect
No. The Ripper has never been 100% identified, in fact, not even close. He will now never been identified you fool.
You haven't done your research. Fact.
Zero evidence it was lechmere... u just watched one doc by a swede and became an expert.
I agree Bruce. I'm American and my country sucks too.
You should not. The alternative(s) would be a lot worse.
I commend Mr Robinson on his candor with regards to freemasonry but when it comes to religion he is the one that should stop peering through the microscope and take a step back. What is Christianity and what is judaism? If he truly understood who Jesus Christ is then he would not blaspheme His name. Mr Robinson would understand what the ultimate purpose of the masons is and that is to serve the jews. You cannot understand society or history or religion, or anything for that matter, if you don't understand the jews. Why does Mr Robinson think they are called Masons? Because they have to build the 3rd temple in Jerusalem!
To be a famous person, at least since WWII, you need Jew approval. Don't expect anyone in the public eye to take a critical glance at Jewry.
what a load o bollocks
rubbish!
randy williams is just as sure as this guy and i disproves his thwory too peopel docus too hard on one thing.
This guy doesn't even know its White Chapel. If he is not a F&AM then he knows nothing about rituals. Two kinds of people, those who know they don't know, and who don't know they don't know. He is the second. But putting $ in his pocket.
Brilliant
