British Army veteran and mercenary Eddy Ellis sits down for one of the most raw, unfiltered conversations you’ll hear.
From chaotic youth and near-jail time to the Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment, Iraq, and the absolute hell of Afghanistan.
He talks about the “blood rage” killing that saw a fellow soldier murder his 8-month pregnant wife and unborn child the moment he got home.
The alcohol, own lives taken, the desensitisation to corpses, and why so many never recover.
Then the mercenary years in Basra and Libya — militias, beheadings, women burned alive in cages, and a culture he says the UK is sleepwalking into.
Now he’s launching the Community Protection Group: training ordinary people in tactics, self-defence, first aid and how to respond to knife attacks or terror threats to give ordinary people the skills the system no longer guarantees, because, in his words, “the UK is changing”

✅ About Liam Tuffs.
The Dozen with Liam Tuffs is a no holds barred podcast channel, where True Crime, Celebrity, Politics, Current Affairs, Combat Sports & Comedy are amongst the topics discussed! I sit down with some of the most fascinating and controversial characters including ex-gangsters, comedians, bare knuckle fighters, boxers, celebrities, and politicians to bring you raw & unfiltered conversations.
From underworld secrets and true crime confessions to fighter career insights and the dark side of fame, I discuss the stories most people are afraid to tell. These aren't just interviews - they're real, gripping, and often shocking accounts from those who've lived it, survived it, and have nothing left to hide.
