Hi there Rich it’s good to see you back with a new video focused on Jack McVite i enjoy watching your video’s its like watching mini documentaries, well done.

[@Richie2015]

Thanks Simon i am pleased you enjoyed it mate

I've really got into your videos. Great job and I love the fact that you're willing to add your own thoughts/opinions based on what you've researched.

Thank you Eric glad you enjoy the videos

@ramsey robert interesting mate,thanks

[@Gill12283]

The Twins' murders were the natural end to very long lives of crime. The prison sentence they received was exactly right: society deserved a rest from their activities.

[@MrGroganmeister]

Yes they were murdering scum and puffs. Death sentence was too good for these thugs. They had long and undeserving lives unlike their victims

[@williamwhitcombe6487]

The same could be said about M.P.s

[@patkearney9320]

They should have been crushed years before any killings.

[@IMP1963]

Pity they didn't get the death penalty but it had been abolished by then 😮

I love watching your videoes , it's like mini documentaries , keep up the Kray vids , btw I just subscribed .😊

Thank you Machi,it means a lot you saying that

[@stephen8577]

Really good video, never knew the exact details of this murder, so it was an interesting insight into the mayhem of that infamous night. Great work.

[@Ronin4614]

Thank you for all of you insights into the twins.

[@Richie2015]

And thank you for watching the videos Jim,much apreciated

[@IMP1963]

Are you going to cover Frances Kray ?

[@ihategoogle6066]

Both the Krays and the Legend movie depict a gruesome scene of Jack McVitie getting stabbed. I'd say both Ronnie and Reggie were unstable at this point and you are right they could have just kicked him out the firm instead of taking his life. Great content btw

[@preppercoops741]

Jacks Killing has many different variables. But thanks Rich, you have so well researched all available factual evidence on the Jack the Hat saga. There is a video on youtube, where a reporter and a psychic get in touch with the Krays 'beyond the grave'. The Psychic certainly deserves merit. In one of the vids, Reg reported from the Spiritual world, that Jack lived longer than he should have, by the twins standards.

[@IMP1963]

Well the Twins weren't GOD 😊

[@jackporter3194]

Awesome knowledge. Love these videos been watching them all 🙌🏻👏🏻

[@Richie2015]

Cheers Jack

[@dougbarde-macnamara4640]

That was fascinating to me, being an American, full of our own Mob legends. The (fictional) movie was outstanding, with Mr. Hardy magically playing the twins. Parts of that movie were diabolical, Lol.☘

[@IMP1963]

Was murder in the basement?

[@regscott6708]

Great to see videos like this, my pop was part of the firm and grew up with the twins a lot of information being the same as what my pop has told me through the years

[@Richie2015]

Thanks Reg,i bet he had some good stories to pass on to you

[@machibethell7687]

Do you mind sharing or making a documentary ?

[@regscott6708]

Machi Bethell Hey mate ide have to ask my pop as his a pretty private person now about what did did back in London but through the years his become more and more open definitely get back to you on this one

[@regscott6708]

Rich2015 absolutely but never glorifies anything

[@MrGroganmeister]

Did pop due in the cage with the rest of the scum? Was he a puff too?

[@bengillin2661]

Really enjoy your videos mate, really informative

Thank you Ben

[@CAVERN1234]

Jack was a pain in the arse and thought he could get away with stealing from the Krays and worst of all disrespecting them

[@nicholashannigan6930]

I can't for the life of me, see that being a pain in the arse or showing disrespect, deserves what Jack McVitie got! There're people in this world who deserve going out like that. For sure but Jack McVitie isn't one of them, imho.

[@Gill12283]

Very unwise to upset the Twins

[@sassymess7111]

I heard someone claim Jack was given money for "a contract" and went and drank it away. The guy was untouched and had no money to give back.

[@stigg333]

Really great video Rich well done, you've got to feel sorry for Jack to be done like that and wouldn't mind betting Reg was a bit high at the time and edged on by Ron.

[@Richie2015]

Thanks,Yeah it was awful really and its hard to see what he actually done to deserve it.

[@philpants44]

@@Richie2015 didnt he steal aload of money from the Krays? Then there was the whole waving a shotgun around saying he was gonna kill em both. i also think drink may have been involved.

[@stephentucker4433]

Great video as always Rich, keep them coming please. Finished reading Albert Donaghue's book yesterday. He wrote that most members of "The Firm" felt they could have been murdered simply because of Ron Kray's mood swings. Could have been Whitehead, Bender, Barrie, Donaghue, Dickson Et al. Mcvitie was just at the wrong place, wrong time. It could have been anyone in their circle.

[@Richie2015]

Thanks Stephen Albert's book is very good,one of the best

[@brionjrehamilton5546]

Wym Ron Kray mood swings

[@stephentucker4433]

@@brionjrehamilton5546 I think if you have a paranoid schizophrenic, who has risen to be a gang leader of a part of London and also by many accounts enjoys inflicting violence on people and has a fascination with murder, it would have been to put things mildly: a stressful situation if Ron Kray was your boss. One of the oft told tales is that you could say something to Ron Kray one day and he would laugh, but say the same thing to him the next day and you would be worried about your physical safety. That's what I meant by mood swings. Was fun to answer your question. Thanks Brionjre.

[@darrenfry4695]

Tony saw the gun before he got the hat to the party so for him to say he only expected the hat to get a right-hander is just laughable

[@IMP1963]

Perhaps not getting the 500 back from JM peed Reggie off 😮

[@waynemorris1030]

Great video Rich, I can't see that Tony Lambriano would have known Jack was going to be murdered, simply because I doubt even the twins knew initially. As in no plans were made to dispose of the body, there were too many witnesses etc. It makes sense that perhaps Jack was to be given a warning or a hiding. Which I'm sure Tony would have been aware of, even if it wasn't directly said to him. He wasn't stupid and sure he'd probably known or realised the twins attitude towards Jack at that time. But being a fringe member and probably trying to impress or please the twins obliged in their demands. It was known that Reg was in a dark place and on a mixture of booze and pills with his violent nature plus being dominated by his twin it's easy to see how things got out of hand and sadly a man lost his life.

[@Richie2015]

Thank you Wayne. It is very debatable what Tony knew and what he didn't know. I think Tony being a friend of Jack could have warned him either way though. There is no doubt it was a sticky situation for Tony. Maybe he was scared for himself and his brother if he went back to the party without Jack?

[@waynemorris1030]

@@Richie2015 I Believe there were other situations at different times where members of the firm had been sent away to bring back someone to allegedly get shot or beaten, and they'd either warned the 'guy' off or simply said they couldn't find him. Then it would be forgotten about as the mood changed or a different someone had then became their new focus. Perhaps If Tony had have warned Jack in this manner like you say then it may well have saved him? It is all interesting isn't it. I didn't know any of the brothers, I'm not from Bethnal Green and they were in prison before I was born. I do know the area fairly well from the many visits to old Kray haunts over the years with my wife. I bought one of Eddie Richardson's paintings off him some years ago now, and we spent a few hours having lunch with him chatting about the past, that was very interesting.

[@brionjrehamilton5546]

Thx Uu mate ❗️❗️❗️❗️

[@mashamorgan]

To turn up at a club, possibly the regency, such a short time after Reg lost Francis and discharge a firearm at the door was quite simply suicide. Reg was in a bad frame of mind and being manipulated by Ron obviously and Jack was capable of murdering him. If it hadn't happened that night it would have eventually happened, Reg said that on his death bed. Wherever jacks eternal whereabouts I don't think he will have any hard feelings, kill or be killed and he got killed, just my opinion, great channel btw

[@smithywick]

Another great video Rich enjoyed that. That woman in his car was always eating apparently as the 90,s film goes jack says to her don't you ever stop eating and she says to jack I'm fat and your bald he says I'm not bald I'm not f***kin bald then pushes her out the car. As you say how true that actually is who knows?
