American Reacts To Flesh and Blood The Story Of The Krays | Full Doc!

[@markbailey2981]

Great reaction bro. It might be worth looking into John McVicar. He was the journalist been interviewed on the video, but before he became one, he was one of Britain's most notorious armed robbers. I think he got a degree whilst in jail and became a journalist upon release. The Who made a film about his life.

[@anthonycullen]

McVicar must see movie

[@mattwilliams5386]

You should also look into The Rettendon Murders or The Essex Boys.

[@pampennyworth]

Can I just say that it’s great to watch a reaction video where there isn’t the same constant pausing and interruptions.

[@Flexx2nicEReacts]

Never understood how someone can react when they haven't even listened. I appreciate you very much!

[@bennym5244]

I like your approach Flexx, I hope you get more views as you seem genuinely interested in other people and documentaries. The Old Bailey is the Highest Crown court of the UK. A pony is £25 quid and would have been worth around £800 in today's money so almost a thousand dollars per week. If you've seen the Godfather film whereby they snared the Senator after the mishap at the brothel in real life it was similar to Ron 's grip on Lord bootby. Although the situation was way out of hand. He was a Lord so a member of the establishment so untouchable. However, Ron and Reg used to put on parties in scruffy East London flats of the most rarefied nature. Total debauchery of which involved more members of the ruling elite, high ranking police brass, aristocrats, film stars. Bootby himself enjoyed what most of us would find highly highly distressing. It doesn't take a rocket science department to work out what these parties entailed and why they were recorded.

[@mrsfranklin1]

So glad you are back in the motion baby!! Another great reaction my love!!!

Excellent viewing mate from a Kray fan in Birmingham England

[@garethbrown2456]

Don't know if you noticed but in the photos they were mixing with top celebrities like liza minelli and Barbara Windsor etc. When he handed the 2 bullets over in the pub the gun misfired. That's why he Said it was his birthday. The krays weren't the most dangerous gang though. You should look up the Richardson gang from London. They were the proper gangsters and had the krays sweating sometimes. The richardsons never get the recognition that they should. They didn't want to be known though and show off all the time, they liked to try keep quiet like proper gangsters. Kray firm Vs the richardsons, the richardsons win. In all ways, strength, smartness, business and money. That's why the krays hated them so much. Even Freddie foreman who helped the krays sometimes was far smarter and more dangerous. He was going to kill the krays as they were becoming too much of a liability but they got locked up. Freddie foreman, the last godfather of London. Check that out too. Oh and both brothers were gay. Ronnie admitted it his whole life and didn't care but reggie never admitted it until he was older. Reggie was married to a woman who killed herself eventually but they were both gay. Which was against the law back then. Ronnie liked his young guys. Very frowned upon. The bit you couldn't understand them, they were just sticking up for their clubs saying they didn't think that their clubs were really that bad and making out as if they were normal pubs and clubs lol. Tom Hardy is good in movie legend but the 1st film is better and more accurate. I'm curious, do you know what happened to both of them? They both died locked up. Reggie got a couple of weeks suffering in a hospital with cancer before he died but they were never getting set free

[@bennym5244]

I thought it was the Nash brothers who ran things back then? They certainly ran the West end and were considered the heavy mob. Also Reg's poor wife had to deal with a jealous Ron. The twins were in a full sexual relationship and it must have totally confused her.

[@kazbye79]

I lived opposite where the krays lived and in the flats with the legend was filmed and the 1st movie school scene was my school in hackney xx

Easy easy... But you missed the Nash brothers.

[@mattwilliams5386]

You should also watch Secrets of the Krays, it's more updated and recent....a must watch.

[@inout3513]

You really need to look into the shankill butchers bruv

[@mattwilliams5386]

You should also look into The Richardson Gang from South London.

[@frankallen3634]

Being gay in the 60's was illegal and you would lose everything. Same in parts of the US

[@billyswainsonsnr6508]

Great bro, you should watch John McVicar story armed robber turned Journalist ….

[@pampennyworth]

Thanks I love the Tom Hardy version of the Krays too. Great reaction. Here’s some fuel for your bike 🏍

[@Flexx2nicEReacts]

Thank you so much for the love and the super thanks!

[@juliethompson9196]

You didn’t mess with the Krays back in the day , they were dangerous. The east end of London was ruled by them . My dad was a typical Eastender he drank and frequently drank in the Cornocopia pub in Southend in Essex . My dad was also a typical Eastender he was brought up and lived in the East End . He moved us his family out to Essex to live a quiter lifestyle. The boys where dangerous, but also the Richardsons where to be feared

[@blastproces]

if you want rons opinion,he intensly disliked john mc vicar and said he was a mug who knows nothing and claims to know everything. that was from his own mouth in an 1989 interview thats on here very intersting very softly spoken was ron

[@UKMessi1]

I'm from Chingford, krays are respected here

[@gaminggrind7304]

Pony is cockney slang (person from london) its 25 GBP

[@Tom-ed-w]

The crays come to south wales to have holidays away from the negative stuff in london! they come to my grampas nightclubs in swansea, but my family told them to leave, they could of done something, but they dont want the noise.

[@coyotesayswhat]

Specifically they shared an interest in young men. Ronnie introduced boothby to east end rent boys.

[@bennym5244]

I think it was the other way round but the Lord preferred the cheeky chappies. Also boothby introduced Ron to when humiliation that's all I'm going to say here.

[@brentdavis3102]

You could say that Ronnie messed it all up in the end due to his homicidal tendencies (Although it obviously helped create the firm's notoriety)But without that photo of him known as a gay male with the company of royalty together in his own club, I cant help but wonder if their intimidation over the UK media which obviously sent a almost untouchable reputation throughout the public had which in turn had given them somewhat of a green light/immunity to go on with their illicit affairs and public slayings beit before or after the photo.

[@pershorefoodbanktrusselltr3632]

There were a lot more murders than those three!

[@willmartin2078]

No your right a pony is £25, bullseye is £50, £100 is a ton or oner, £500 is a monkey, £1000 is a grand, or bag a sand

[@brentdavis3102]

A witness testimony wasn't just given back those day's such as their cousins.It was bashed out of them by the interrogators.Much like the Australian police had done throughout history up until the late 80's and very early 90's.

[@bennym5244]

They used to say ' give us their name and address now or we can always find them using the yellow pages. "

[@carlaspinall7418]

I've seen the kray twins movie with gary and martin kemp

[@s.wilson5675]

Love your reaction here. Look at Cops, Criminals, Corruption The Inside Story BBC Panorama 2016 for more recent OCG in East London in particular the Hunt Syndicate.

[@Zacksleeps]

Yeah, a pony is £25. A monkey is £500!

[@gazstreeter1981]

Didn't touch Manchester they tried so I've been told

[@casmckay8034]

The thing is once in prison the got the deal big money, this story has a ,ot of twists and turns.

[@Tigerland1962]

gre and better organised,,,at film,, they were bad but the Richardson from South London were pure evil and better organized. West Ham v Milwall comes to mind...

What does a yank know about the east of London pre 2000 😂

[@DeeDeeLowryLegs]

Britains only gangsters? Not even Londons only gangsters.

[@DW-py4up]

Respectfully the Krays were big fish in a very small pond(east London). They wouldn’t last five minutes on the streets of London in modern times. Not being disrespectful just being honest

[@johncarlisle6865]

society today is far more violent, how do you honestly know that they wouldn't be able to adapt and thrive as they once did?

[@DW-py4up]

@@johncarlisle6865 I don’t “know” nobody does, it’s all speculation. But as you said, society is far more violent. Londons population is much larger and way more diverse. It’s just not the Richardsons they’d have to deal with. They’d have Turks, Albanians, Russians, Jamaicans , Somalis etc. some of these guys make the Krays look like a pair of ballerinas.
