Britain’s most violent prisoner Charles Bronson appeals to fans to stop plastering walls with his NAME
The notorious hard man has told graffiti artists they could end up in a neighbouring cell - and they've got his name wrong
BRITAIN’S most violent prisoner has asked supporters not to daub his name on walls because it is breaking the law.
Armed robber Charles Bronson, 63, now known as Charles Salvador, warned followers that they could end up in a neighbouring cell if they don't stop the graffiti.
The hard man said: “I don’t want to see anybody outside protesting this way, because you are breaking the law and it will end in a sticky situation.
“And you could end up being my next door neighbour.
“Thank you for your loyalty, but there is no need.”
“I am honoured and humbled that there are people out there that still believe it is a liberty me being imprisoned.
“But I must say now, whoever is doing this graffiti, please stop."
The statement came after "Free Bronson” was plastered on a wall in Aberystwyth, West Wales, where he has family.
The ex-boxer added: "Bronson is no more for one thing.
“Bronson is now Charles Salvador, the born-again artist.
“For another thing, I also have no appeal left.
“The only way I will get out is to behave myself and go through the proper channels and get myself a bit of jam roll. Which I believe I am entitled to.”
