AKA-BRINDLE 879 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I don't think he bought of them to fund there terrorism Yup,he didnt fund terrorism,he just did what any canny businessman did and went direct to the source for the best price on an imported product.if you want cheap electronics you go to china,cheap clothes bangladesh,cheap afghan border he went to peshawar,theres a film "Mr Nice" taken loosely from the book,the film is absolute crap but rhys ifans plays a surprisingly good howard. He imported hash with the help of the I.R.A...they got a cut of the deal how is that not funding terrorism!?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 29,515 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 No,he imported into Ireland with the help of a guy who SAID he was in the ira however the ira refuted the individuals claim,it's a book on smuggling,Howard is a raconteur,he wouldn't write a book on the realities of the game as no one would buy it,so certain characters are given artistic licence and expanded upon,it's just a book fact blended with a little fiction.

Have you read his book?..try the chapter....mr mcarthy...you say "he wouldnt write a book on the realities of drug smuggling because no one would buy it"...but your trying to tell me he lied about his involvement with the I.R.A...its there in his own words...he was also balls deep with them pakistani afgan terrorists...sorry to tarnish the super cool image of your hero...but he wernt no robin hood....a bit of a greedy man with few morals...who ended up dragging his wife and kids to jail with him 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tb25 4,627 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Maybe a nice man..but a drug dealer all the same.the don't sit well with me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gamerooster 1,179 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Nobody is forcing people to take drugs, and the life of a drug dealer ain't all fast cars, women and champagne....... there's no hours, your everyone's bitch, when they call, you go...... lot worse ways to make a living 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 29,515 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 "he wouldnt write a book on the realities of drug smuggling because no one would buy it" Yeah read the book mate,and he isnt my hero,I am trying to tell you dont believe every book you read,they are written to sell,and yes no one would buy a book on true smuggling without it being jazzed-up a little because its a boring game for 99% of the time.chapter 6.......sat on my arse for 3 months in a hotel and things didnt work out........chapter 9....let down by a loose link in the chain so thats another move up the swanee that didnt pan out........chapter 12...etc,etc,etc,dont take it personal but not all books are 100% factual.more faction fiction and fact combined.

Listen mate i certainly dont belive everything i read...and i dont need the likes of yous to explain the ins and outs of drug smuggling/dealing...just seems an odd thing to make up that you was involved making money for the I.R.A if you wernt...or maybe everything in that book that dont fit in with your image of Marks...you dismiss as made up???...but cheers for trawling through it for them chapter referances...reading it once was enough for me Edited January 26, 2015 by AKA-BRINDLE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
