I just paused the video and reflected on my short time, my "snapshot" in an American jail & then acknowledged he did 8 years in the various circles of hell & you can tell from how clear and concise and genuine he is that the British tried they're hardest to break this lad and he remains intact, my dad was a staunch republican, born in Ireland but spent his adult life in the USA and he would tell me about people like Bobby Sands and watching this man's recollection of events it honestly gave me chills, if you can't respect this man's strength, determination and courage (even if you firmly disagree with his stance) then there is something missing in your human foundation and you should do some soul searching, this man is the personification of human determination and the will to go on, I hope I can have 1/1000th his strength and fortitude in my life and the struggles and trials and tribulations that I will inevitably face

So here’s a thing, having just returned from my first tour of Belfast and all the tourist spots of the political divide ( on both sides ) and without disclosing my back ground or beliefs as it would offer no purpose to my comment…..I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, this interview and testimony by Sam Millar is the single most informative and in my opinion, honest, piece I have ever heard concerning the troubles by someone involved. It’s fearless, brave, heartbreaking and mind blowing all rolled into one. Quite stunning. Sam, I fully tip my hat to you for your bravery and courage in the face of such dire consequences and I salute you as an inspiration.Your honesty has removed many of the so called truths I have carried on this subject which have been constantly peddled by media and other outlets that have been pushed over the years. May you and your testimony continue to reach people and educate new generations in the hope that more of us will choose the pen over the sword.God bless you.

The misunderstanding is illustrated by the widespread use of the word Fenian as an insult (or compliment, depending on your perspective). It's broadly used as a pejorative meaning Catholic, when in fact the Fenians were both Catholic and Protestant, whose common aim was Irish nationalism. This was lost via propaganda and segregation. Great interview. The guy really knows what he's talking about.

I’m English /British, I’ve great grandparents from Ireland all catholic, yet my family are not religious. I grew up in the 70s 80s, hating the IRA, but over the years I’ve realised that if I was Irish catholic I would’ve chose the same path as Sam millar. The oppressed have a much better cause to fight for the rights of equality. Respect to any person and people fighting for change against the system, I see things so different now, and during this plandemic I realise I/we/ all of us together cannot trust the government, the BBC,the media suppression, podcasts like this give a real uncensored view of all things that the average person is oblivious too.

What an interview, what a story, what an adventure, what humility and finally what understanding. The line about Unionists in a UI: "I would be one of the first to go and fight for them if I thought they were not being treat equally," shreds the bitter sectarian BS and exposes the reality of who really benefits from its continuance.

Riveting from start to finish. One of the best Podcasts interviews I have seen, such honesty and passion shown by Sam and such respectful questions by James. Sam is living evidence that Heaven & Hell are right here on earth.

Compelling! Best 2hrs Ive watched on YT for ages.

Very good interview, let Sam Millar tell his story with ease. I liked the candour of Sam Millar, it's the first time I've heard of him.

This is by far the best 1 I’ve watched 👌

Absolute top class podcast James, one of many infact. Keep up the good work, best wishes to you from the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪👍.

Allways loved your show. My family comes from Glasgow and l enjoy listening to you, Much love from Australia.

I don't use the word legend lightly but my good lord what a story and what a legend he is, one of the best podcasts I've ever listened to, you really let him tell his story and didn't unnecessarily interject.

Thank you for serving our country Sam. Unbowed, Unbroken and undefeated. God bless you. Tiocfaidh ar la 🇮🇪☘️

History, psychology, crime, drama and even some therapy in another great interview from the master, Sam English. Murder is never ok.

Wow... what a story... i wish this man well... from start to finish this was a fantastic interview james.

Wow!...going to be hard to top that one James!!!... Great job as usual 👌

Very powerful and honest memoirs. Had me in tears in parts and hysterics in others. As half English half Irish I was never truly educated to what the troubles were about and this has got me intrigued to look into the history of both sides (soldiers not politicians). Great interview James

Thank you for sharing your story.... You deserve a Medal! Much respect to you 👊

When I was in Iran, I visited Tehran and they have a street called 'Bobby Sands St.'

Straight off the bat - amazing. What a great interview and insight into the troubles. God bless ALL who lost their lives in that war.

One of if not thee best interview iv even seen. What a life store and a fantastic interview. I was born and raised in Northern Ireland in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s and lived through the troubles. My mother was able to get us out of the country and to America in 1985 but iv seen and know all about everything he’s talked about. Being brought up catholic we use to pray for Bobby Sands in our morning assembly through the whole hunger strike. I have also lost close friends to the troubles it was a really hard time over there for Catholic’s and this brings back a lot of memories good and bad. I can’t wait to see the movie about Sam’s life. What a hard life he’s had I’m glad he has come full circle and is enjoying his life now. He deserves it. God bless you Sam.

hi James, thank you for this interview with Sam, i am a loyalist and i enjoyed listening to his story. very honest interview which i was very surprised at, and james you were very good with your questions and how you allowed Sam to answer ... well done to everyone

I’ll be honest James. I don’t usually listen all the way through I’ve got a short attention span. Can’t keep my concentration. But this one with Sam was something else. A very articulate man and honest man who’s story is both fascinating and frightening at the same time. I liked your style of not saying too much. You let Sam tell his story. I think I’ll go buy some of his books now.

I’ve watched so many of your podcasts, James, a few have been hard to watch, this one was absolutely brilliant, what a guy. Couldn’t turn it off, hopefully something comes of Sam’s film

A friend sent me this video because i am being tortured by my PTSD from abuse i suffered as a teenager on a trawler at sea. If you can still be standing after the horrific experiences you been through in your life, then i can too. Your a great man sam. And this helps me so much.
