Aaaah the new style of British gangsters...
Gone are the old school mobsters that still had something resembling a moral code, in are the new style moralless brutal hoods. They have been sprouting up in smaller cities like Nottingham, Bristol, Essex,...but also Liverpool and Greater Manchester.
Sick that he hunted down the parents of someone he fell out with. These people did nothing wrong.
Exactly, the old school gangsters would never target innocent people like that, I remember my dad telling me the news about the couple being killed, they only lived 5 minutes from me in a place called Carlton, madness.
Well the old school British mobsters already was nearly extinct by the beginning of the 90s. Begin 90s the younger, brutal groups largely involved in the drug trade and money laundering ( mostly through porn shops) were on the rise in the white working class areas of the East End and Southeast London ( regions were the majority of the estates were already mainly populated by blacks, Turks or Bangladeshis back then ), Essex,...These groups don't have the same media coverage the Krays had. In fact, of most of those groups no one has ever heard. But no matter how you put it: the old, recognizable firms are long and gone. The new, sneeky groups are probably here to stay.
Ever heard about the Hunt firm from London's East End ? They were succesful in the 90s and till this day they are still active, although some of the members have become 'legitimate businessmen'. Read some stories about them, sick stuff.
