Excellent clip. Paul, agreed; I doubt the twins could buy a newspaper without an air of menace. Also highly recommended is the original Krays biography, John Pearson’s ‘The Profession of Violence’.

Love the site. On a more lighthearted note, here’s a clip about a confused gangster reminiscing about the Kray Triplets, The Great Tube Robbery and his time running guns for the RNLI. Hope you enjoy it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsl-IZp7alM

I liked the way in total unison they both look at their brief when asked why they remained silent.

Anyone else detect an air of menace around in the interview?

I also liked the way old time villains were sharply attired, suited n booted, whereas modern day villains will be in trackies and t shirts with bulging biceps, tats and plenty of tom on their fingers and around their necks.
