In this episode of Crimetime, Inc., we delve into the life and legacy of Arthur Thompson, infamous for his dominion over Glasgow's criminal world for more than three decades. We journey back to the gritty streets of 1950s Glasgow to explore Thompson's beginnings as a ruthless money lender in the slums, notorious for his violent enforcement methods. Thompson's empire expanded rapidly into protection rackets, illegal gambling, and dealings with stolen goods, solidifying his influence in Glasgow and beyond, even partnering with notorious figures like the Kray Twins. Known as 'Bomber Thompson' for his use of explosives to intimidate rivals, he balanced his criminal ventures with investments in legitimate businesses, creating a respectable facade. We also discuss the personal tragedies and violent rivalries Thompson faced, including a bomb attack that killed his mother-in-law and the murder of his son, Arthur Thompson Jr., by rival Paul Ferris. Despite numerous assassination attempts and a shifting criminal landscape, Thompson maintained his grip on power until his death from a heart attack in 1993. This episode examines his impact on Glasgow's underworld, the transformation of crime in the city, and the enduring social issues that perpetuate a cycle of violence and desperation.00:00 Introduction to Arthur Thompson00:26 Early Life and Ruthless Beginnings01:00 Rise to Power and Criminal Empire01:23 Alliances and Reputation01:48 Bomber Thompson and His Tactics02:22 Legitimate Fronts and Family Tragedies03:29 Rivalries and Power Struggles04:54 The Heroin Trade and Family Involvement05:50 Paul Ferris: The Betrayal06:27 Assassination Attempts and Personal Losses08:19 The Death of Arthur Thompson Jr.09:25 Legacy and Impact on Glasgow's Underworld13:36 Reflection on Crime and Society Hosted on Acast.

Aaaand we're back. Guest friend this week is Ben Cameron from the ABC. Ben works on ABC radio each week with Mick Malthouse and has a theory to put to Dane, that Mick loves ratbags. And we hear more about Mick's 'jam' passion.We talk about Ralphy's slightly misleading Bucks headline about Dane not wanting Bucks to coach, the longer version is that Dane says Bucks is a better person when he's not coaching. We discuss Tassie and who might coach the team, Dane reckons they will struggle for players, and should focus on players who aren't into the more exciting lifestyle on offer in places like Melbourne and Sydney. Dane makes the comment that Tim Lane has no idea what he's talking about when he says that kids will love to live in Tassie.We ask Ben about COLA and Ralphy puts his idea to Dane and Ben about a kind of reverse COLA in cheaper to live in markets like Adelaide.We then get to the list. Dane and Ralphy give their Top 20 players of the past 20- years, and Ralphy gives his Top 20 of the 80s and 90s.Ben tells us a story about going to Taronga Zoo with Mick Malthouse, and Mick told him about preventing Glen Jakovich from being eaten by a lion.Dane tells us why Bomber Thompson is an arsehole, and Ben tells us why he reckons Malcolm Blight is one of the nicest blokes, he shares a ripping story about Blighty and Karmichael Hunt.Ralphy and Dane ask Ben, who watches and calls footy every weekend, to talk us through where he reckons each club is at. And as a Perth boy he explains why he reckons Adam Simpson survived at West Coast at the end of last year.Ben reckons the ABC's footy call and commentary is far more contemporary than it gets credit for.We talk about the relationship between the media and footy coaches, and how those who 'play the game' get an easier ride than the others.And Ralphy continues to bang on about his bet on Freo for the flag.Follow us, share the pod with a mate, and support us if you feel the urge. If not, then as you were.Podcast : @swannyandfriendsDane: @danes84Samantha @samantharichesSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/hump-day-with-swanny-and-friends. Hosted on Acast.
