Episode 27: Glasgow Gangster Ian (Blink) MacDonald Tells His Story

As a young man in Glasgow's underworld, Ian Blink MacDonald earned a reputation for fighting and stabbing his enemies. After refusing to work for Arthur ''The Godfather'' Thompson, he attempted to steal £6 million in a high-risk armed bank robbery. While serving 16 years, Blink met the torture-gang boss Eddie Richardson, serial killer Archie Hall, notorious lifer Charles Bronson and members of the Krays. After his release, his drug-fuelled violent lifestyle created conflict with the police and rival gangsters. Rearrested several times, he was the target of a gruesome assassination attempt. Blink provides an eye opening account of how he survived gangland warfare, prisons, stabbings and bombs. @Blinkandyoullmissitpodcast Books available on Amazon ⬇️⬇️Blink: A Journey Through Gangland Mayhem https://amzn.eu/d/6mnDQ07Scotland’s Wildest Bank Robber: Guns, Bombs and Mayhem in Glasgow’s Gangland https://amzn.eu/d/7AuRM5nhttps://youtube.com/@Blinkandyoullmissitpodcast?si=7VmuHlOa_9GjXJap
