    what i like about Eric is-----he went to a bar in london to see about some trouble-----he said he saw aurthur thomson n jimmy boyle there---he said i,l give the jocks their due, they let people fix the row. Eric those 2 guys were the most dangerous guys in britain. Nobody messed with thomson or boyle

    Australia was still using the 'Cat' into the early 60s on violent and sexual offenders,i have actually held a prison cat in Victoria this bloke had one that was retired,the tails are about a metre long, with 3knots in each one and wooden handle with binding,the tails were sort of a cord, quite stiff because they used to soak it in brine,jayus it was a fearsome thing,50 would flay the hide off you!

      Probably because Scotland Yard would have pulled out all the stops to catch the offender or they'd get someone. Then they'd have to be hung and you can bet they'd make sure that didn't go smoothly, slow strangulation. People didn't mess with authority in them days like that because the heat would be tremendous and the punishment brutal.

    Not a very difficult thing to do flogging a man when he's tied up and can't defend himself. If the flogger had gone into the boxing ring with Eric it might have been a very different story.

      Research reptilian shape shifters... They are the demon reptilian bloodlines, the seed of Satan. That's why they like violence so much because they are genetically different to most humans. These things are controlling the whole world, gangsters and government work together they are the same thing it's all an illusion to fool people the gangsters just do the Rich's dirty work for them. Honestly research RH- bloodlines if you see these people on LSD or in the astral realm they actually turn into hairy lizard demon things very creepy they are energy vampires they feed off negative energy hence why they like fighting/violence so much also research adrenochrome that is the secret behind the blood drinking rituals.

      Are you mad?. The cat was the ultimate punishment as a deterrent for the worst offences. How would they have kept people in line if they knew they were going to get it anyway?. You sound more vicious than most of the criminals in there.
