The next worst thing to a bully are the spineless people who sit back and let it happen to someone else.

    This video was so informative. The fact that they admitted the Kray's would've been killed had they not gone to prison when they did cause they were so out of control. They made a good movie about them "legend" but at the end of the day they were just two mentally unstable serial killers in the mob who were out of control and people still idolize them and glorify them it's pretty sad. People feared them more than they respected them back then but this goes to show you that nobody's untouchable because had they not been arrested for murder they would've been taken out themselves.

    I have not read all the comments.
    At about 10:00 minutes into the video, there is a photograph of three persons with one of the Kray twins in the center. I notice in this image the woman to the right. She appears to be Christine Keeler, who, during the early 1960s, was involved in a relationship with John Profumo. At the time, John Profumo was married to Valerie Hobson, a British film star from the 1930s through the 1950s. Profumo was also Secretary of State for War, and the resultant scandal, thought to involve national security, was extensively covered by the press and forced Profumo's resignation.

The Russian collusion and corruption all crap, Russian Prostitutes being peed on all made up crap, Hillary and her fake dossier more crap, the Capitol fake crap made up by Pelosi and the FBI. Strozk and lover working for the FBI betraying a President working in Taxpayers time trying to destroy him all those criminals are walking free. No government should be wasting tax payers money. Trump was a great guy to them when he was a democrat, soon as he became a Republican the knives came out. Like Oprah she used him on her shows people loved him but she is a democrat out came the knives when he became a Republican, Whoopie Goldberg was good friends with Trump but now he is a Republican she hates his guts and many other awful movie stars, look a Will Smith a complete fruit cake, Ricky Jervis took the piss out of all of you no one slapped him in the face, It took a black bloke to smack another black bloke in the face, just like BLM burnt down America killing and looting we Allies are not surprised they kill each other in the thousands in a month.

    I want to know what’s going on and no one will tell me what is going on but there most definitely is something going on that’s not good and it is imperative that I get information and clear communication so that I can live my life and do what is necessary to figure this out And rectify the situation that is most definitely negative and ruining my life that I’ve worked so hard for and I need to move forward with life and progress as God intended me to

      They kept the violence within the criminal world. Now people can’t leave their homes after dark. Back then if someone robbed a granny, they had to answer to them. Probably never robbed a granny again.

      No they kept the streets clean they were hero's also. Now look at America every street corner there are criminals killing for a woman's handbag with a few dollars in it. You guys all know nothing they were okay guys that's why they were left alone. Now the FBI and others do the Criminal acts in government with people like the Clintons and Pelosi they are the new Mafia, President Trump is too clean for then, so between them they make shit up like Russia Russia Russia, and so called Russian Prostitutes being pissed on, for a germ freak that would not happen, the Capitol another set up, shooting a Military woman not even armed this was to try and prove the Military have Trump supporters. These were people set up by a gangster government. Pelosi's father was involved with gangsters. Not just having pictures at functions with them which happens, strangely enough gangsters do lots of Charity work, not like Biden importing Children run by traffickers, leaving many to die in the desert including women, and spreading COVID they are the criminals. And these guys cannot see this, Obama is the same. president Trump is too clean for them. This is why Epstein was killed he knew too much. Trump was never involved with such crap, I have met Trump many of my friends know him well, it is like they are talking about a different person. He packed the speaking tour out when he came to Australia, we love him here, there are always dim whited people who don't, only the weak listen to Pelosi and her henchmen they are getting rich on peoples stupidity. Biden did not win that was a stitch up.
