Jamie's FB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... Jamie on Chris Thrall channel: • JAILED For A FACEBOOK Post - War Vete... Jailed for a Facebook Post - War Veterans Horror Story. In this gripping interview, we explore the shocking story of an Ex-Royal Marine jailed for a social media post. This case highlights the UK free speech crackdown and the dangers of social media censorship, as veterans and citizens alike face increasing restrictions on freedom of expression. Following the Southport murders aftermath, authorities took drastic action, leading to a Facebook prosecution that many see as politically motivated. Is this another example of veterans betrayed by the very country they served? We examine the British justice system, the role of the Public Order Act, and whether UK government overreach is silencing dissent. With rising concerns about political persecution, the Free Speech Union has weighed in on the growing number of social media arrests under vague and inconsistent laws. Many critics argue that two-tier policing unfairly targets individuals while ignoring others, raising fresh questions about Labour Party criticism of free speech and government policies. As tensions mount after the UK riots 2024, we discuss how new online speech laws are being used against military veterans and civilians alike. Does this case set a dangerous precedent for veteran rights? And what does it say about the state of democracy in Britain today?

Chris Thrall was an active Royal Marines Commando. Following active service in the Northern Ireland Conflict and training in Arctic warfare and survival, he earned his parachutist's 'wings' and operated as part of a high-security detachment on board an aircraft carrier.
A huge welcome back to Chris Thrall to the show after he shared with us last year about his amazingly, crazy life as he described his time in the Royal Marines, getting hunted by Triads in Hong Kong, and his addiction to crystal meth. All of the above has made him the man he is today and why I was eager to get him on the show to talk about his latest adventure - to run 200 miles non-stop around a running track to raise money, and awareness for homeless veterans and those suffering with mental health. Chris's mindset has been formed from years of addiction, hardships, travel and from being curious. A mind I've found fascinating for as long as I've know him, so it was fantastic to have join us to share his views on current affairs, and a few tips how we can all put down the Xbox controllers and devices and get out and train our minds the way we're supposed to. Not by following ' The Agenda'. A fascinating episode where you will learn about the mind of a man who has done more than several generations in one family in just his life alone. Please be sure to follow Chris's amazing event at www.facebook.com/groups/runninghomeless and catch him on all platforms @christhrall.
Chris tells us about his incredible life, from dodging gunfire in Northern Ireland, to becoming hooked on crystal meth while working with the Hong Kong Triads, to now being a best-selling author.

Chris Thrall. After leaving the Royal Marines to run a successful business in Asia, Chris found himself homeless, suffering acute mental illness from crystal meth addiction and working for the Hong Kong triads. Declining conventional support, Chris rebuilt his life to become a qualified pilot, skydiver, adventurer and bestselling author. He has expeditioned to eighty countries on seven continents and raised thousands for charity. An extreme-endurance athlete, in 2018 Chris ran an ultra-marathon a day for thirty-seven days, unsupported, the length of Britain, to raise awareness of veterans suicide, and in 2019 a quadruple ironman consisting of a 9.6-mile swim, 450-mile cycle and a 107-mile run. Chris firewalked forty metres on red-hot coals to raise money to work with street children in war-torn Mozambique. He's driven volunteer journalists to India and back by bus to highlight global poverty. Chris was awarded the Second Level Commendation of the Finnish Nation on the grounds of Human Generosity for his ability to inspire others. Backpacking through every country in North, Central and South America, he dived off the famous cliff in Acapulco, caught piranhas and survived without equipment in the Amazon rainforest and snorkelled with bull sharks off Belize. In colder climes, he has scuba-dived with leopard seals and icebergs in the sub-zero waters of the Antarctic Polar Circle. Chris wrote the bestselling memoir Eating Smoke, a frank yet humorous account of his time down and out in Hong Kong. He has appeared on numerous podcasts and programs and two award-wining radio plays have been made about his life. Forty Nights, Chris's second memoir, details how the life-changing experience of addiction led to his enlightenment. Chris has a degree in youth and community work and is a substance-misuse/addiction specialist. He presents this topic from a progressive perspective. Along with trademark Royal Marines humour, Chris's fascinating story, inspirational message and passionate approach appeals to those unlocking their potential and corporate clients concerned with workforce wellbeing.
