The Detectives: Fighting Organised Crime

[FantasyIreland]

Fantastic series.

Still no bigger gang than Old Bill's.

 

[FantasyIreland]

That Gym is just a five minute walk from where I live and me any a mate of mine were talking about joining it when they open up again,.

That's not going to be happening now.

I paid it a visit a few years back,just as a change of scenery.....fucking horrible place.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Two things i'd do

1. Remove the right to no comment
2. Place a permanent GPS device in every fucker convicted of serious crime.

Fuck em,the filthy rats.

There is a minimum amount you need to live on though. A pensioner coming out of prison today with no income and no state pension would be paid £173.75 a week in guaranteed pension credit.

Well that's £23 a week more than me & I worked from 1969 to 2010 & spent only 6 month only 6 month on the dole

Don’t worry you will be dead by the time he receives it

The guy who burned himself trying to set fire to the car was the pick of the bunch for me.

Stunningly stupid !

Unless you have a private pension, I reckon you ought to do a benefits check pal.

Gold Cup had a really great Sunday football team. Most were Cheshire League Saturday players

Alas they never asked me to play as I could never head it on a Sunday morning due to my hangover.

Just to be clear, are we talking about the Gym or Stalybridge :)

I have a NHS Pension as well
That is the reason I get less state pension
Since I got my state pension I now get taxed on NH S pension

You need to do a bit of a stretch ,
2-3 years to get it topped up !

 

[PinkFinal]

Judging by their names and facial features I'm pretty sure two of the gang are closely related to someone I knew well years ago
Never had them down for a criminal family but you just don't know these days

 

[WestGorton]

I don't think the level of crime is any worse than it has ever been. We just see more of it through tv/social media etc. The most popular crimes are done online now and even with drug gangs the average wage of those in the lower levels is probably less than your average manual job. Hardly worth risking your freedom for but most see it as a macho thing to get into. Even the likes of Curtis Warren eventually end up behind bars and in any town or city you can find out very quickly who the dealers are. Truth is they grass on each other to avoid jail generally.

Agreed. The biggest crime syndicate went to Eton.

 

[cyberblue]

It's a wonder why they bother
They either get shot, battered,killed or jailed for years,
Not exactly a great advert for a job

I paid in for 45 years

 

[nw42]

This guy knows. Ridiculous DJ one minute....

Cobdens was it?

 

[ell]

I wish the BBC had told us more about the court case and why the 3 of them got off

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

Switching allegiances to become a rag?

Worse than anything on the programme itself that.

agreed

 

[theres only one carlito]

The one on the run. I know a few stories about that young man, but to see his name on this programme last night was a shock. Silly little bastard.

Halpin, hiding in Marbella with the rest of the wanted criminal underworld. I know his mums best mate. His mum brags about him a lot.

I wish the BBC had told us more about the court case and why the 3 of them got off

Only the jury who decided will know that though?
