Malt 379 Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 London might have seemed a better place in the days of the Krays because in general people had more respect for each other. The second world War was still fresh in the mind, and Londoners still maintained the 'We're all in this together' spirit. The state of British society UK today has got very little to do with criminals & immigrants, it's more down to people loosing respect for their fellow man. It's even in evidence on here, mainly on the poaching/trespassing threads. Not saying poaching is a new thing, but years ago people in general wouldn't have felt the need to proclaim to all and sundry what they got up to.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

deanflute 550 Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 The Krays simply put were bullies, They stole money from the working class people around their part of the city, They were violent theifs, Gun crime, Knife crime the lot, Crime with knifes is probably more documented than crimes with guns these days but people don't seem to mind that the Krays hacked people to bits in the 60's and to a point idolise them for doing so! London wouldn't be a better place now if the Krays were still around, They wouldn't have stopped immigrants coming in because it would have been somebody else to rope in to doing their dirty work for them and giving them a pitance. They lived a very 2 sided life IMO, Wanting to be the hard men on the streets but then hanging round drinking Champagne with A-Listers and politictions! (and shagging the latter!) Just because they wore nice tailored suits and drove Rolls Royce doesn't make them the "Gentlemen" that most people seem to think they were, Just remember where the money came from for such luxeries!

leegreen 2,141 Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 if they were about now it would of been kept on top of they ruled londons underworld There are far too many people in London now and our police methods are far too complex, why would you think they would stick their necks out just to keep the streets safe. "Underworld" feck me, crime in London goes far far outside the boundries of the "underworld." Its a nice thought but I just think its more of a fairy tail, you could always get yourself a red cape and some blue Speedo's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
