Description

Lifer Charlie Bronson's reputation precedes him - 'Britain's most violent prisoner' - or does it? Do we really know the true Charlie, or are our impressions the result of media hype? Well, what is in no doubt is that Loonyology is 200% Bronson and will transport the reader on the dizziest no-holds-barred roller-coaster ride of their lives, from suspense and shock to laughter and tears, and from Bronson the 'Solitary King' to Bronson the Philosopher, the Poet, the Artist, the Author, the Joker, the Walking Scar and the Freedom Fighter. Now 55 years old, and having spent most of his last 34 years as a maximum security 'Bronco Zoo' inmate, he's a much wiser man as he looks back on his crazy journey of unpredictable behaviour, his ever-alert mind darting from reminiscences of his teenage years to memories of fellow-cons, the screws, the cranks, letters and news reports, prison life and procedures, and the overall madness ('loonyology') of the legal and penal systems, peppering his stories with diary entries, true gems of information, sound advice and hilarious one-liners. Together with his many supporters and with the aid of a top lawyer, Charlie is campaigning for the parole board to finally allow him his freedom, but begging is not his style: he calls a spade a spade and is determined to win with dignity, fighting with his pen and his brain to achieve his aim of a life outside 'the cage'. In his words: "I chose to be a villain. I'm not proud of it, nor am I ashamed of it. I have paid my debt to society and it's time to go home."

The power of insanity is the beginning of loonyology. Welcome to my world!

FOREWORD BY CHARLIE RICHARDSON

I have seen it all over the years: the very best of human nature, but primarily the very worst. I have been incarcerated with the absolute scum of our so-called society. Most of these ‘people’ give off pure evil; it comes off them like a strong case of BO. You don’t need to be told ‘he’s evil’ or’ she’s evil’; they don’t need pointing out, they just are what they are: 100%, putrid, Satan on Earth evil! Over the years, the powers that be have tried to convince the poor, weak, gullible public that Charlie Bronson is one of those scumbags and, incredibly but I suppose not surprisingly, the poor old public, who think they know it all, are taken in by it. Charlie Bronson is not evil - he never has been and never will be - but those they have slung him in with are. Ian Huntley is just one that Charlie Bronson has to live in close proximity to. Christ, is it surprising he gets wound up from time to time? I cannot believe Bronson is still in there. What are they trying to do with this man? The man is a rebel and he doesn’t take too kindly to being shoved about by authority, but that doesn’t make him ‘Britain’s most dangerous prisoner’, ‘the UK’s most violent man’ and all the rest of the crap they label him with. By making men like Bronson out to be the worst criminals in the country, it gives the illusion that the Government are winning the war on crime when they are not; they are losing - badly. But the worse they make out those held captivity to be, the more successful it makes them look. This is nothing new; it’s been going on for generations. It’s just that so many people are too thick to see it! Charles Bronson should’ve been freed years ago. If he was a filthy child molester like these so-called ‘pillars’ of society he probably would’ve been. My dear, close friend Tel Currie asked me to contribute to this book. After he explained the reasoning behind it I accepted, as there is a very human reality about this one. In this book, we finally get to see the real man, not the myth; the human being, not the legend. For those who do not know the man, it may come as a big surprise. Read on …

Best wishes Charlie Richardson

FOREWORD BY TEL CURRIE

Out of all Britain’s underworld villains of the past 50 years, only the Kray twins conjure up more myths, lies and bullshit than Charlie Bronson. We have heard it all about Charlie - nutter, psycho, evil, Britain’s most violent and dangerous man, killer and even serial killer! Where does this crap come from? For those of us who know the truth, it gets so ridiculous it becomes hilarious. But then you remember that there are plenty out there who believe it, and have you noticed that the more stupid the person, the more outspoken they are? Why is that? You would think that someone would be aware of being completely thick, but these idiots are not; they are actually convinced they are more intelligent than intelligent people! If you ever find yourself surrounded by velour-tracksuited, sovereign-ring-splattered, chain-smoking chavs, with five kids of differing ethnic persuasions and with 150 items in the ‘10 items or less’ queue at the supermarket, listen to the strong opinions that pour forth. Empty cells definitely make the most noise! Opinions should be earned. They should be the reward for those who take the time to acquire the knowledge to then earn an opinion on that subject. Opinions should be developed through learning, not just to fill the air. Unfortunately, this is not the way it is. And this is one reason why misconceptions about people, especially people the sovereign ring mob have never met, find their filthy way into the world. The other method, of course, is via media propaganda, turning somebody or something into what the media want it to be, good or bad (usually bad). Circulate these around our mentally challenged friends and - bingo! - we have a myth (even if the sovereign wearers do think that’s a female moth!) This is why a percentage of the population view Charlie Bronson and others so badly. And, once again, the ones that are most likely to try to impress you with their outbursts are those that know the least about it. ‘Nutter’, ‘Evil’, ‘Killer’- these wildly inaccurate descriptions of Bronson are fed from the media straight to the dim, who then regurgitate this to their even dimmer friends. The most surprising element of this whole process is that it is actually very powerful. There is no doubt that it works and, as with Chinese Whispers, men like Bronson become just that bit more evil each time it’s told. That is the power of propaganda and it has massive results. Why does it always work? Well, how many times have you heard someone

actually say, “Hold on a minute, stop there. What are the facts? What did this guy actually do?” Exactly! I bet most of you who have adopted these media labels for Bronson don’t actually have a clue what in fact he has or hasn’t done. I explain exactly what Charlie has and hasn’t done elsewhere in this book. These are facts, not rumours or fallacies to create a myth to fill dull lives. Not too long ago, a Sunday supplement printed a list of whom they considered were the fifty most evil people in Britain. Charlie Bronson - an armed robber who NEVER pulled the trigger or even attempted to kill anybody - was considered more evil than Ian Huntley, Rose West, Peter Sutcliffe and Roy Whiting. Is there a man alive who can justify that? Is it possible that some faceless hangman from the Home Office had a word about who went where? Charlie Bronson is no angel. He knows what he has done and he has suffered severely for it, as of course has his lovely mother Eira, who has already lost a husband and son at a young age. It also amazes me that whenever Charlie blows a fuse the press make him out to be Satan’s nastier big brother! But consider this: He is locked up for 23 hours a day in ‘monster mansion’. This means that most of his neighbours are Britain’s most evil child murderers, who are allowed to wear women’s clothing and call themselves women’s names whilst watching Kids’ TV. (I have seen a copy of the actual report in which Charlie appeals, to no avail, to be moved and be punished in “A man’s prison”.) Charlie despises nothing on the planet more than a nonce (which every proper man should be in agreement with). In these circumstances, wouldn’t you blow a fuse every now and then? At one time Charlie was trussed up like a Christmas turkey, stark bollock naked, on a freezing cell floor in a body belt (a contraption that makes it impossible to move). He had to lie in his own piss and shit for days. Charlie’s mental strength is unbelievable and, believe it or not, he could handle that bit. The part that was harder to take, and obviously well contrived, was that while lying there, unable to move, he had to listen to that filthy, bastard, pond life Roy Whiting (the lump of turd that tortured and killed lovely little Sarah Payne - God rest you, sweet angel) laughing and doing Christ knows what to Kids’ TV with the sound on maximum. Now, I will ask you again - wouldn’t you blow a fuse every now and then? These, of course, are the little details they leave out of the media when they print the ‘Nutter Bronson is at it again’ headlines. If people could just use their common sense and read between the lines of these media fantasies and digest the whole situation, it would be a step in the right direction. People have always needed their public good guys and bad guys, their nice

heroes and their evil villains, but please, if you have to have an evil one, get it right and save that designation for the Huntleys and Whitings of the world. Do not hang your ‘evil’ caption on a man who has given away most of the money he has ever had to children’s charities. (This 100% true. Phone Zoe’s Hospice if you need proof.) In fact all the ‘Nasty Villains’ like Joey Pyle, Freddie Foreman, Roy Shaw, Alfie Hutchinson, Tony Lambrianou, Charlie Richardson and Dave Courtney have given more money to children’s charities than ten men would make on average in a lifetime! I have promoted boxing shows and I have seen the generosity. There is NOTHING in this piece that I don’t know to be 100% true. But, of course, they’re just villains clearing their consciences, or whatever crap people with no clue are making up this week. It’s amazing how much shelf stacker’s in Tesco and kids working at Burger King know about the motives and mechanics of Britain’s underworld! I’m not saying let Bronson walk free right now, but at least give him a chance to mix on the wings and take it from there. If he fucks up, then back to the seg unit he goes. But how can a man prove that he can do something if he’s not given the chance to try it? I hope you can see the injustice in the treatment of men like Bronson and Biggs compared with the REAL evil scum - surely you must! If you can, chatting over the garden fence or in the pub is as much use as a chocolate teapot. Write to Charlie, then to your MP, then the Home Office. DO SOMETHING! This book will give you an insight into the Charles Bronson that I know and, yes, love. This is the real Charlie: a man who has become a political prisoner and national embarrassment; a human being who deserves a chance; a man whom those of us who really know him MUST stand by; a man who at least deserves to be heard - a man that should be FREE!

Respect! Tel Currie
