      Stig: No. Never. He was a smashing bloke. He used to buy his mother flowers and that. He was like a brother to me.
      Interviewer: But the police have film of Dinsdale actually nailing your head to the floor.

      Where I grew up there had been a guy who terrorised everyone, especially drug dealers.
      My uncle got out of jail and moved back in with my aunty.
      Week later he had bumped into the local lad on what had been a walkway in the seventh floor of a highrise block of flats.
      My uncle picked the lad up by the neck held him over the railings and told him this is my area, you sell anywhere else you want. If you sell here again then next time you go over.
      Moral of that story is, regardless of how much you think of yourself as Mr big there is always someone that makes you look small. The guy he had grabbed never got seen about in that capacity for years.

    There's a better story told here between these two men than in any film I've watched about crime. It's a remarkable difference from the overdone and glamourised True Crime format. LADbible, you are doing this consistently. The truth is the truth. You guys find the people who tell it as it is. Respect to you and all of the people who come on. Lots of the people you interview have been served justice or injustice. You let people tell their whole story regardless (some editing too, but very thoughtful editing) . Keep up the good work and do not change the format. It really does help people gain a real insight into the lives of others. I hope Ray and Chris are doing well.

    @the_local_bigamist Před rokem +65

    Interesting interview. It is always inspiring to see people turn their lives around and try and give back to the community. Ray's introduction was important though and I think that it speaks to an element of criminality (especially organised) that isn't understood well by most people: trauma plays such a significant role in the paths that people take, whether to addiction or to the kind of violent criminality being discussed here. Listen to the pain in Chris' voice and imagine holding that inside of you, all of the time. This is a long post but hopefully worth it for those who are interested in OC. What the famous gangster movies and TV shows don't touch upon is this kind of trauma (The Sopranos did a little bit, but for the most part, it may only be hinted at and is not integral to the story at hand, even though it was an integral part of the make-up of these notorious real life gangsters). Sexual abuse in particular is something you will find in the backgrounds of many within organised crime, and sexual violence is often used within organised crime.
    It isn't spoken about really, possibly because it is so horrifying, but it goes on a lot more than people realise and isn't confined to the prison system, which is more of a cliche. One notorious gang in Birmingham was known to use gang rape as a form of violence towards people who owed money, and this gang controlled the drugs in that city and the wider region. It happens all over within organised crime as it is a highly effective form of violence which many people will fear more than getting stabbed or having a finger chopped off - one story about two guys "punishing" a man who owed them money, a young guy who was basically being mentored by these two was shocked when he saw it happen but was taught that this was basically business practise. The guy who suffered that took his own life shortly after. I remember hearing of it happening locally to me - one of the local gangsters and a second person did that to a person "to teach him a lesson" as I was told (and I suspect that the person who told me was the second person involved in that punishment. Just something about the way he said it, and he told me many more horrible things that he and others had done as part of that whole lifestyle - the creativity of these crooks when it comes to violence is crazy.).
    The point I am making I suppose is that there is something very wrong with how organised crime is glorified in our culture, with young kids looking up to the local gangsters in areas where there aren't many opportunities and where there is neglect, abuse and so on, even though so many of the prominent figureheads within organised crime are highly damaged, traumatised people who had awful childhoods. Ordinary people wouldn't last in organised crime: not only is there the constant paranoia, not knowing who to trust, expecting cuffs or a blade or bullet at any moment, knowing that you will have to be as violent as you possibly can in order to succeed and to keep this up but also to be able to withstand those levels of violence. A large percentage of the population have never even been punched in the face!
    Violence breeds violence - combine this with poverty and lack of opportunities in our broken economic system and you will always find people trying to earn a living in other ways, and the ones who "succeed" in that world are the people with the greatest capacity for violence. But beware that if you go into that lifestyle because you got a kick out of Peaky Blinders (haven't seen it myself), just keep in mind that you may well get yourself buggered (literally) if you don't pay up or if your OCG is in a war with another one and you find yourself having been kidnapped and tortured, or your family threatened, your house petrol bombed or shot at - the list goes on.
    One thing I noticed when I was younger was that you always knew some wannabe who was "related to the Krays", who Chris in this video worked for. Every town and city will have one of these guys. I've even heard it second-hand from others: 'did you know that X is related to the Kray twins?!'. I used to point out to them that the Krays ran nonce rings, and that Ronnie Kray in particular was known for being a violent homosexual rapist as well as pedophile. Usually Mr. Wannabe will stop claiming that his second cousin's brother-in-law was the third cousin of Charlie Kray senior's half-uncle. It is just a bit of a joke, but you get the point. In Manchester, people idolised the Noonan brothers - two of the three are dead and the remaining brother, Dominic I think it is, is currently serving time for historical sex offences against young boys. Go figure.
    It is a nasty, horrible world and no matter how much filmmakers and TV show producers try to claim that they are showing nuance and context etc., in the end, most of this stuff just ends up glorifying the whole lifestyle. If anybody got close to making a film about how it really all goes on, it'd be more like a horror film than anything else. If anyone has any recommendations for films or TV that show things honestly and don't try and glamorise it for the audience, please let me know. In terms of Hollywood gangster films, I'd say that The Departed comes closest to showing how it works, especially with how close organised crime is to law enforcement. Ironic given that this is a film by Scorcese, who is considered by many to be the best when it comes to this genre. Ironic also that it is a fiction and a loose adaptation, but Scorcese's flaw is that he relies too much on the source material: Goodfellas is a flashier telling of the notorious rat Henry Hill's version of events (Scorcese wouldn't even let Ray Liotta meet Hill before filming!). The Irishman relies on the ramblings of some old man who claims to have been everywhere, from giving weapons to David Berrie (played by Joe Pesci in JFK by Oliver Stone - a great movie) to actually shooting Jimmy Hoffa - that film is the Forrest Gump of the gangster movie genre. The Sopranos, as mentioned before, is probably the best example of the gangster genre being deconstructed, especially with regards to the therapy angle, which offers glimpses into Tony's trauma and helps us to try and understand how he became who he became. Funnily enough, the wannabe, keyboard gangster-types hate those parts of the show, and that's because they are too caught up in the fantasies of power, wealth and all that.
    An important aside here: just as in any industry, black market industries that are run by organised crime groups also feature high levels of inequality. The local big shot might be driving a nice car, but he's probably mid-level and can only hide so much of his cash, and unless he is friendly with some people in law enforcement (which the best gangsters always are), all it takes is for someone to snitch - possibly a rival gangster giving info to his own cop - and then his door is kicked in. The real guys at the top who actually make all of the money, you probably wouldn't know them if you passed them on the street - they have the real money and they favour keeping it. "Snitches get stitches" is a load of BS too - it is to keep the little guys in line, to throw fear into subordinates and rivals, but all successful organised crime groups will have close relationships with law enforcement, and they will happily inform on a shipment coming from a rival so that attention is diverted from their own, or they may even snitch on one of their own, having a few of their underlings go down and keep their mouths shut ("snitches get stitches", unless you're running the show).
    Then you have the runners who run the drugs/guns/whatever else around, who get paid peanuts when you place it up against the risk (even without risk, I knew a runner who was employed as he was a crackhead and the dealer used him to run the little baggies to all the other crackheads, paying him in drugs and a weekly wage that was probably around the same as the minimum wage, in a major city (tax free but still, not exactly a life of luxury, especially when you spend all of your money on crack). This is also why gangsters like to recruit children - you can pay them next to nothing, groom them into the falsehood that they are a part of something and are protected, let them have an "image" and they don't face the same legal consequences (although the system will likely f*ck them up if they end up in it, effectively training them to become proper gangsters when they are older, if they don't die first) and so wont be likely to grass (snitch for the yanks).
    Anyway, rant over. Point is: kids, being a gangster isn't flash - it is a facade and is policed by a monopoly of violence that most people wouldn't have the ability to withstand. Also, unless you are lucky, you will only end up either dead or in prison, with all of the pain and suffering you have been through, let alone that of which you put others through.

      @@Leadfoot_P71 Thanks, I'm glad that you appreciated it. I haven't seen Top Boy yet but have seen bits of it and some of what I saw seemed quite accurate. Only from clips and such but it seemed to capture some of what I saw when I lived in southeast and east London, in terms of how some of the black gangs operated (not exclusively black but in areas with high black populations etc.), but I don't have much to go by. It seemed to have been inspired by The Wire which is one of the best I've seen in terms of policing the drug trade, basically in how futile it is, and the creator had a series out recently based on true events about a corrupt task force in Baltimore (where The Wire is set). 'We Own This City' it was called and, whilst it relates to American policing which is different to that in Britain, it definitely showed how police officers can and do become corrupted, particularly in the drug trade.
      I might give Top Boy a try, even just for entertainment. I don't think we'll ever see anything too close to reality though, given that the truth of the matter would be too much for people to stomach IMO. I started a novel on gang culture and got about 30000 pages in but lost the thread a bit, but it came about after a funny instance: I was on a journalism course run by a paper I wrote for a few times and, on one session, an editor from another paper came to give a talk and also an exercise which was to come up with ideas for investigative pieces and we would vote on the best two and split into groups and plan the story. My idea was to investigate links between the big drug dealers and the property developers. The editor said that it was a great idea but I'd end up wearing concrete shoes and being thrown into the canal! It was voted on though and we looked at how we might go about it. I decided to write it as a novel instead but lost track of it and moved onto other projects. I may go back because it can be frustrating to see these worlds glorified.
      Anyway sorry to bang on, I can't really say when it comes to Top Boy but from what I saw, it seemed that they tried to keep it real as much as you can expect from a BBC drama. There was a good mini series by the BBC recently starring Martin Freeman, playing a copper in Liverpool, and it sets you up thinking that he's bent but it becomes more complicated. Worth a watch to see how some relationships between police and crooks come about. Sometimes its as simple as a family member or childhood friend. But again, they only really scratch the surface.

      Well written and interesting!
      As a Dane, one Danish movie from the 90s, called Pusher, comes to mind that I think portrays how quickly a criminal life can go from going well to extreme shit in a very short time. Mads Mikkelsen became famous for being in it. I also think it was the first movie done by director "Nicolas Winding Refn", that also made the movie "Drive".
      I'm an ordinary citizen so I wouldn't know how accurate it is, but it certainly doesn't glorify crime and shows how greed backfires and the loss of control, violence, F'd up relationships and paranoia that follows.

    both Chris and Ray you can tell can still handle them selfs, but would be a good pint talker, one thing my vet friend told me, never anger older vets, they survived to be that age for a reason. my uncle Terry, sure he was 500 pounds but he also was a black belt in judo and over 50 years of training, pissed him off only twice, never have i flown over a chair so fast in my life lol and i deserved it, i think i was 11, and the other time i was 22, i was angry at my cousin his son bc he was being a richard, he was 13, as i grabbed garret, i feel uncle Terry's hand on my shoulder, size of a bear claw, at the time i was 220 pounds in good shape, i was tossed over the couch and he said you touch him to fight him again, i will fight you, let me deal with him. my aunt and mom saw it and said well did you learn. yes lol hes been gone 6 years now, dude was an awesome man, 74 he was.

      You are attacking your organs with anger which will leave you in a debilitated and sickly state one day (with you being physically unable to do anything about about it. The worst kind of prison you'd want to be in. Trapped in your own body). Go the other way my friend. Leave alcohol alone, and tame your wild demons as YOU are the master and not them. I pray you discover your self mastery and take possession of your true power and dominion. As for the violence, i encourage you to join a boxing gym so that you made feed your demons with exercise and structure. A heavy bag will leave you drained and filled with peace. Seek its time and attention daily. Good luck my fiery friend. 🙏🏾😌
