My name is Frankie Fraser I'm known as "Mad" Frankie Fraser because I've been certified insane three times Only because I acted mad, to have it a bit easier I was born December 13,1923 in Waterloo, Where the Royal Festival Hall is now, it was all docks then My father was Canadian, my mother was Irish and they were two lovely hard-working people... Why did I get into crime? It was me, no excuses for me, I must have been born to it, Simple as that And the upset it caused my mother and father, me going to prison, The shame with all the neighbours, that's one of the biggest regrets I've ever had I've served 42 years in prison They had many forms of punishment if you broke the prison rules, Solitary confinement, loss of remission, bread and water, The cat of nine tails and the birch I experienced every one of these, And I would say I've definitely done more bread and water than any other man alive. They abolished bread and water on the first of June,1974, The cat of nine tails means exactly what it was, You personally never see it and you'd never see the guy who gave it to you. Actually, what it was, 7 lumps of leather joined to the main Part, You were put up onto a tripod, your head went through a noose, and before he gives it to you, He twirled it round and round as a rule and you'd hear it whistling right across your back And this went on in my case till you had your eighteen strokes, When you waited for your corporal punishment, you waited up to fourteen days after you were sentenced And they played mind games with you You always had it after breakfast or after dinner when all the prison was locked up And always as a rule in the prison laundry where it had a very high roof where they could put the machine up, And that was the same with the birch and all, A bunch of twigs except with the birch, you went over a barrel where your wrists were handcuffed to your Ankles and your bare bum stood up. Out of the two, I thought the birch was worse than the cat In 1947, I had cut my wrists to pieces, 70 stitches and they put me in a straight jacket. Straight jackets then came in three sizes: small, medium and large I'm very small, I should have got a small one, But they put me in a big one, the biggest and at the back of it, they put all wet blankets, The hospital at Pentonville prison had been bombed in the war and still hadn't been repaired And they were using B2 landing, converted it into a hospital, they had no padded-cell, They just put mattresses on the floor, and that's where they left you and I'd have to turn over and lay on my stomach, In the meantime, being fit and young I did like an idiot, get up and sometimes try and walk, This way, I snapped all the stitches in my wrist, and all blood was oozing out, Smothered in blood, and as I was lying there, face down, as I've had to turn over on my back to relieve the pain, I heard the flap of the door and the prison governor shout out, "he's still alive", won't be long now, soon be dead. That saved my life, cause that made me determined to survive till seven in the morning, when fresh prison officers come in And they had to put me on the chair, take me out of the straight jacket and give me a glass of water, All night he kept coming, still alive, and I survived, his name was Laughton, I'll never forget it. The prison authorities couldn't care less No television them days, no radio stations, no media, who cared But luckily for me I survived, never forgot it and attacked the governor afterwards and tried to hang him The worst prison in my opinion, especially for a Londoner with a bad record, was Durham It was called the last outpost when I arrived there from Wardsworth They really beat me up, stitches in my head, black and blue all over One of the worst beatings I should think I'd ever had in prison and later on, they sent me to Broadmoor(criminal insane prison) Even though at that stage, I wasn't acting mad or anything, it was just to get me out of the system. Today is better than it was thirty odd years ago, but the difference today in that respect Is that people on the outside are much more likely to take an interest in what goes on in prison I came out of prison in 1989 and I'm happy to say, I've been out all these years the longest I've ever been out of prison On the other hand though, I wouldn't change the past, that is what I done, I ain't grumbling about it, Like it or leave it, that was me, mad Frankie Fraser.

Jul 16, 2008 - pitiful
StronglyFancied Says:
Jul 16, 2008 - yes, indeed you are pitiful, the only reason he liked the war was because he could do his crimes more easily, he is a highly intelligent man. If someone said to me, would you like to go and fight in a war and die for nothing, or stay in London robbing everyone , i know which one i would pick!!! You however ybot1983 sound like a homosexual, im sure you would have joined the army, so you could be with all the other men, standing to attention . Frankie Fraser, the true definiton of a hard man....
ybot1983 Says:
Jul 16, 2008 - fighting in world war II was hardly dying for nothing, no freedom of speech, genocide, totalitarianism, just a few things that would have been imported to Britain if the majority had decided "oh i know whats the easier option". still you would have been rounded up soon enough
grabar20 Says:
Jul 16, 2008 - StronglyFancied,you and this daft prick are as daft as a box of frogs,what did you say,he is a highly intelligent man. he cant even talk.and all the people that died in the war,yes why so people like you can sit at home and toss over pictures of there grandma,you would not get in the army you are a butt plug.......boo hoo...........ha ha ha ha ....
ybot1983 Says:
Jul 16, 2008 - i get the impression this page doesnt attract the sharpest tools in the box so i wont waste my time further
StronglyFancied Says:
Jul 17, 2008 - They did die for nothing, look at the state of this country now you ugly thick northern monkey.What was the point of all those people dying? Frankie had the right idea, only sheep follow orders.Baaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Why dont you just go and batter your fat wife some more, you revolting alchoholic gypo...
StronglyFancied Says:
Jul 17, 2008 - The Army is just a way of gathering all of this country's homosexuals together. They all love an officers mess ......... Real hard men like Frank Fraser dont need a uniform and hundreds of their bum chums to feel feared,Frank fights alone, and he is worth two armies....
StronglyFancied Says:
Jul 19, 2008 - You might as well, its not like you have a job, or any hope of ever getting a job. You may as well hang around a bit longer till you have to sign on next, you old northern wife beating maggot.

Aug 3, 2008 - fuck this musuic
kelly4peace Says:
Aug 8, 2008 - He isn't mad, just bad and not a real man. he could only hurt people with weapons. Not a hard man, just an evil little man. Looking for respect but he will always be a little wee man, who never used his fists. He also lies in this tape.
bov1984 Says:
Aug 9, 2008 - He's hardly in the same league as the like's of your roy shaw's, mcleans, lee duffy's etc, all used there fist's to do the talking, if you seen him in a bar you wold'nt be frightened because he has'nt got the asme aura as the above.
goodhew6155 Says:
Aug 9, 2008 - He's just a big mouth old cunt, wouldn't last a fucking day, today. what a fucking useless loser. Frankie you silly old cunt, go and die and do the world a favour...........
partybiscuit Says:
Aug 9, 2008 - goodhew6155 : You should be glad you wern't around when he was running riot, he would of eaten you alive. He's the real thing, you're just some one behind a keyboard. I met him briefly about 8 years ago.. he still had an air of danger about him, even in old age.
jimleedsutd Says:
Aug 10, 2008 - i totally agree with partybiscuit, he would have ate you for breakfast.
StronglyFancied Says:
Aug 12, 2008 - you mug, you dont seem to have a functioning brain. Frankie was the most feared and respected gangster that will ever walk Londons streets.Fear is a state of mind, I dont expect a weak ugly spotty faced queer like you to understand that though. Everyone was frightened of Frankie, fear doesnt come from size, Frank is capable of anything,even the Twin's were careful to avoid trouble with Frankie, they werent stupid.....
StronglyFancied Says:
Aug 12, 2008 - We are hoping that you die, from AIDs you rampant homosexual....
josepolo950 Says:

These guys had only one way to make a livin' and if my life was worthless like theirs and doin' some bird was part of the job then yeah, you might be jus' as mad as them but most of us have too much to lose by doin what these meatheads did. I mean come on, no fucker is takein even a year of my liberty away, I gots too much to do.
