gnasher16 29,948 Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Being linked to the Krays back then was seen as a good career move if you was that way inclined,if you was a criminal from East London and you wasnt linked to the Krays you were seen as fair game simply because they wanted to control everything.If you was straight going people there was no problem my old dad was a fearless man who would take shit from no man but he never had any bother as the Krays were not interested in law abiding folk,infact from what the ol man said they was always generous,kind and helpful. Im no cheerleader for the Krays i just think its all been a bit overdone and exaggerated ( glamorised i suppose ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, what I meant to say that I have to agree with you, they share the same attributes, They're both parasites one way or another, lining their own pocket at the expense of those that have less... at any cost, blatant bullies or cunning bullies they're all the same.

(spelling) Every man chooses his own path in life some walk the straight law abiding route some dont,as long as the ones who choose crime as a career dont sit whingeing and moaning about it when it go,s wrong then fair enough. To me theres far worse scum in our socieites doing far worse than lining their pockets at others expense......but unfortunately your average rapists,kiddy fiddlers and junkie pensioner beaters dont seem to be as hated as a few men fighting over money anymore Quote Link to post Share on other sites
