Undiagnosed ADHD. DJ culture. Ibiza. And decades of cocaine use hidden behind success.In this episode of Coming Clean With Me, addiction specialist Elliott Wald sits down with Andy Manston, co-founder of Clockwork Orange, to unpack how a childhood shaped by undiagnosed ADHD and a lifelong relationship with music quietly evolved into decades of alcohol, speed, and cocaine use.Andy grew up in Walthamstow, East London, an only child who struggled at school with concentration, impulsivity, and constant disruption — issues that were never recognised as ADHD at the time. Music became the one place his mind settled. From his father's vinyl collection to learning guitar, mixing tapes on an Amstrad stereo, pirate radio, and early raves, music gave Andy structure long before it became a career.That path eventually led to Clockwork Orange, which exploded in Ibiza during the 1990s. After appearing on Ibiza Uncovered, crowds doubled, money flowed, and the lifestyle intensified. Andy explains how alcohol and stimulant use — which began socially in rave culture — became embedded in DJ life, escalating as success and access increased.After Clockwork Orange began to decline in the early 2000s, Andy explains how the loss of structure, income, and identity pushed his drug use into a more isolated phase — using at home, often alone, to escape financial stress and emotional collapse. By the time Clockwork relaunched in 2010, his business partner Danny Gould was clean and sober — but Andy was not.The darkest period came during lockdown. Living alone, drinking wine, using cocaine, and sleeping irregularly, Andy describes severe cocaine-induced paranoia: checking cupboards, scanning rooms, pacing stairs all night, listening for noises, driving around the block for hours convinced people were in the house.Elliott Wald is a British psychologist, hypnosis expert, and behavioural analyst with over 30 years of clinical experience. He specialises exclusively in the treatment of cocaine addiction via nasal use (snorting) — a form of stimulant addiction that is frequently misunderstood and poorly treated by generic recovery models.Alongside his formal clinical training, Elliott also brings direct lived experience. He maintained a daily cocaine addiction for 15 years, when he was publicly visible and appearing as an expert on national television. This combination of clinical expertise and first-hand experience allows Elliott to understand stimulant addiction from both a neuropsychological and human perspective — without ideology, moral judgement, or surface-level explanations.Elliott's work focuses on the psychological, behavioural, and neurobiological mechanisms that drive cocaine addiction, including dopamine dysregulation, compulsive habit loops, impulsivity, identity reinforcement, and relapse conditioning. His approach is highly individualised, evidence-informed, and fundamentally different from generic coaching, peer-led advice, or one-size-fits-all recovery programmes based on someone else's story.He has appeared as an addiction expert across major UK broadcasters including ITV, BBC, Sky News, and Sky Living, and is a published author in the field of addiction.Over 90% of Elliott's patients work with him online, meaning private, one-to-one treatment is accessible to clients across the United States and worldwide, without the need for travel.If you'd like to watch a video explaining how Elliott's one-to-one programme works, or to enquire about private treatment, send a WhatsApp: UK: 07875 751960 International: +44 7875 751960Find out more on Elliott's website: https://www.hypnosis-expert.com/ADDICTION/

In Episode 229 of _The Battle of Britain_, listeners dive into the intense, attritional final phase of the aerial campaign as the Luftwaffe shifts focus to dismantle RAF Fighter Command's defenses with precision raids on key airfields. From the devastating bombing of Manston to the failed, costly attempt on Portsmouth, each raid reveals a clash of strategy and resilience—where German pilots claim massive victories but reality shows only half the damage. The episode uncovers how British squadrons fought back through clever tactics, early warning systems, and bold leadership, while highlighting the Luftwaffe's growing losses despite their relentless attacks. Amid shifting targets, tactical adjustments, and a battle of attrition, one truth emerges: the air war was turning—and the tide was clearly beginning to turn against Germany. This is history at its most gripping—where courage, technology, and sheer willpower determine the fate of nations. Don't miss this pivotal moment in the Battle of Britain.

Nous sommes le 20 janvier 1943. Ce matin-là, Jean de Selys Longchamps, pilote belge de la Royal Air Force, décolle de Manston, dans le Kent. Sa mission: perturber le trafic ferroviaire entre Bruges et Gand. A bord de son Hawker Typhoon, il mène l'opération à bien. Mais plutôt que de rentrer à la base, il met le cap sur Bruxelles. Jean de Selys a une autre idée en tête: il va canarder les locaux de la Gestapo, la police politique des nazis, qui a pris ses quartiers au 453 avenue Louise. Après un vol en rase-motte de plusieurs minutes au-dessus de la capitale, à 9h05, en l'espace d'une vingtaine de secondes, il tire ses obus de 20 mm dans la façade sans toucher aucune maison mitoyenne et disparaît comme il est arrivé. Un acte d'une bravoure folle, qui va redonner le moral à l'ensemble de la population belge. A 9h05, le 20 janvier 1943, en pleine occupation allemande, Jean de Selys ouvre le feu sur le 453 avenue Louise, siège de la Gestapo. 9h05, c'est l'Heure H de mon histoire.

We're back offline, and inside Banned., a new exhibition blending archive and present-day photography at the Turner Contemporary in Margate. Curator Sabina Desir joins Anita, Mark, and Julie - three children of Black and Indigenous American airmen stationed at RAF Manston in the 1950s - to imprint their portraits of racial identity and ambiguity in Britain. Between 1951 and 1958, 2500 US Air Force servicemen and women were stationed at RAF Manston, near Margate. 200 were African American, and others were from non-white Indigenous and ethnic groups. After finding a 1957 newspaper article in the East Kent Times which downplayed the level of segregation imposed on British soil - and the furious responses this triggered from residents at the time - curator Sabina Desir began to reach out to those in the community today. Anita, Mark, and Julie, portrayed on the walls by local artist Richard Birch, share their lived experiences of tracing their ancestry - some, all the way back to Cherokee chiefs. Plus, Sabina exposes the different perceptions of the post-war Windrush generation, new connections in Charlie Evaristo-Boyce's pop art series, and the power of representing these people in the same place where they were banned. Banned. runs at the Turner Contemporary in Margate until 8 May 2023. WITH: Sabina Desir, curator of Banned. She is the Artistic Director and Creative Producer of the Ramsgate-based Freedom Road Project. Anita Stokes, Mark Mahan, and Julie Wing are all children of Manston US Air Force Servicemen, working with the Banned. project.

It's not all asylum, though, there's also some blog posts to go over on Comprehensive Sickness Insurance, third party support in spouse applications, marriages in durable partner cases, the opening of the citizenship route for Chagossian descendants and a Solicitor Regulation Authority report on immigration lawyers. They end by discussing a couple of opinion pieces Colin published, on whether the Home Office should be abolished and whether strategic litigation does more harm than good.

Two people have been injured after part of a hotel wall in Folkestone collapsed. Falling debris from the Grand Burstin landed on a coach outside, hitting the driver and a tourist yesterday evening.

Les traversées de la Manche au coeur d'un nouvel accord entre Paris et Londres La France et le Royaume-Uni viennent de signer un nouvel accord de coopération pour limiter les traversées de la Manche par des bateaux surchargés d'hommes et de femmes, candidats à l'immigration en Angleterre. Le sujet est particulièrement sensible des deux côtés du Channel et des scandales éclatent régulièrement. Ce week-end côté français avec une enquête du journal Le Monde sur la mort de 27 migrants dans la Manche en 2021 qui accable les secours ; côté britannique, ce sont les conditions d'accueil au centre de Manston, dans le sud de l'Angleterre, près de Douvres, qui font débat.

For the last six weeks conditions at a centre housing people who made perilous journeys across the Channel on small boats have been making the headlines.

The Home Secretary Suella Braverman is at the centre of a migration crisis after the Manston immigration centre was reported as unsafe, understaffed and 'wretched' by the borders watchdog. So, how did the situation unfold, what are the politics behind it and what do we know about the people risking their lives crossing the Channel to come to the UK?This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

We thought they couldn't do worse than Priti Patel. As conditions in Manston reveal Suella Braverman's stupendous callousness, it turns out that yes, they could. We unpack the rank incompetence, as well as the rank and incompetent. Plus, New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg joins us to look ahead to the US midterms – and the unfortunate parallels in politics both sides of the pond.  “The blue tick is going to become a sign that basically you're a huge dork.” – Michelle Goldberg  “Everyone in the Conservative Party now thinks they're Winston Churchill.” – Seth Thévoz  “What you're seeing with Braverman is the Republicanisation of British politics.” – Seth Thévoz  “The Republicans are now a party that has turned its back on democracy.” – Michelle Goldberg “It's frustrating that only the people who believe in language take it seriously.” – Michelle Goldberg www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Arthur Snell and Seth Thévoz .

Law and order has shot up the political agenda in the last year or so, with the chaos in the Channel, damning reports into the culture of the Met Police and chaos in the prison system. Just this week we've seen the firebombing of a migrant centre in Dover and uproar over the treatment of asylum seekers at an asylum centre in the Kent village of Manston.Few commentators are better equipped to address this range of security issues than CapX regular Ian Acheson - a former prison governor, home office civil servant and community police officer, and now a senior adviser to the counter-extremism project. Ian brings a huge wealth of experience to bare in his regular pieces for CapX. In a media landscape where 'essential reading' has become a cliche, Ian's pieces genuinely fit the description – and his contribution to the CapX Podcast didn't disappoint either. Hosted on Acast.

For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God
