‘Everyone Cracks’ Interrogator On Inhumane Torture, Being Captured, & Training SAS | Minutes With

Thank you to Ian for taking part in this episode - www.instagram.com/dilksy999/

Born in Leicester that is torture, poor bastard

This guy has that insane ability to look terrifying and extremely pleasant at the same time. Now imagine him in full combat sitting on a stool in front of you in a room stinking like an abattoir, switching characters like Multiple Miggs. I see as clear as day why they didn't want him to leave

“You know that horrible death smell. You’ve all smelt death haven’t ya?” Crew all looking at him wide eyed and shaking their heads no doubt. 😂

It’s insane seeing a man, so well mannered and spoken, so polite and gentile, but also understanding he’s probably one of the most dangerous people you’ve set eyes on

This guy is insanely focused. He never says "um" or stammers once, just drops a constant stream of massive truth bombs.

This dude is a great story teller. And seems genuine as well.

"You know, in this modern army, you can keep your long hair." "I can, really?" "Yeah, in a box under your bed, now get it chopped off!" SAVAGE 😂

I know Ian personally when I was in Hull selling cars with his wife and he's as he looks and sounds on this tin. Absolutely brilliant guy.. always so positive. A lifetime of experience. Do anything to help anyone. I am so pleased he's getting alot of exposure now. Great profile Ian. Chris

Hes Also now a full time firefighter I've worked on shift with him, one of the nicest, kindest, warm hearted guys ever, still terrifying if he needs to be thought, this man is a living legend

Army SERE graduates. I learned a lot about myself, and I also learned that I never want to be captured by an enemy force.

Being charismatic is a part of his training. He can be anyone you want him to be and that's what makes him a dangerous man.

Taking notes for whenever I inevitably get captured

So interesting to hear how he was useless academically as a child, everyone probably thought he was thick and had no brain power. But listen to how much he had to take in to become an interrogator, he obviously had the capacity to be academically solid. I think everyone has the capacity for it, you just have to find something that interests you

Thanks to Ian and the Ladbible crew for this very interesting interview.

During World War II, several remarkable British women served as spies, demonstrating extraordinary resilience under inhuman interrogation and torture. Violette Szabo, a Special Operations Executive (SOE) agent, was captured in France in 1944; despite brutal torture, she remained loyal and did not reveal any information, leading to her execution at Ravensbrück. She was posthumously awarded the George Cross for her exceptional bravery. Nancy Wake, an (edit* New Zealand Born) Australian-born British spy named the “White Mouse,” by the Gestapo, was captured by the Gestapo in 1943; yet she withstood severe interrogation and even managed to escape, continuing her resistance work. Her valour was recognized with the George Medal, the Médaille de la Résistance, and the Légion d'Honneur. Odette Hallowes, another SOE agent, was arrested in 1943 and subjected to harsh interrogation but remained silent, preserving the safety of her network. She was honoured with the George Cross and the Croix de Guerre medal from France.

"why did they put you in a dog cage!? Because they can...." Im dead

Ian is literally made for this job.. everyone who seen who dares,knows he has a switch.. he is scary intimidating, but at the same time trust worthy... with him you feel like you can talk to him,and at the same you feel you NEED to talk to him because you dont know if he bites your head off

Never forget men like Jean Moulin, Frank Pickersgill, and Gustave Bieler among many others who endured unimaginable torture for months but still chose death before giving up the names of their friends. The one token that may have spared them, their knowledge, they did not cash. Most men will talk, but as history has shown, some will not.

One of the scariest things for me would be when they're trying to get information you just don't actually have, like they're never gonna believe you, that's the whole point
