  • @Lo-FiEnjoyTheMusic-gs9wy

    oh that was the worst explanation of knife crime ever
    we know what he was trying to say but that was devastatingly bad
    did he mention a shield?! why my dude
    London has had gangs way before grime and they have always been the working class
    the firm is my go-to because they were gangsters who were treated well by the public and the infamous Kray twins
    but crime was more organised back then and it was business
    like the mafia
    smash in your windows Monday night
    Wednesday or Thursday night I come around offering protection at a cost
    anyone who messes with your business suddenly disappears or has a nasty accident
    the money is made clean through cash-in-hand business or shady business
    club bouncers and construction jobs
    you'll have a bunch of people on the books who never show up for work but are getting paid whilst immigrants do the cheap labour
    classic gangster stuff
    we had that in London, we have that all over London and some of those old men are still around
    what happened is crime got disorganised
    we no longer had gangsters but thugs
    small groups of individuals trying to make money through the underworld
    but like any firm, there are only so many places on the roster
    an now you have freelance crime
    the police start to crack down on crime ... there was a racial element to it
    the old boys retire or go legit through nightclubs etc
    an the new face of poverty are the children of migration
    put people forget "you gotta pick a pocket or two"
    Oliver Twist was in organised crime, that's what that song is about
