A Very British Gangster Page #2
So with all the money you've made,
you're still active.
Is that the message you're giving out?
I'm still dangerous.
Anyone's dangerous...
but there's some that are really dangerous.
Are you really dangerous?
Yeah.
And the next generation
is ready and waiting?
Yeah. They're already primed.
So how many is in your crew?
There's about 20, but I always keep
because they're more loyal,
more trustworthy.
I've got a lot of respect for them
and they've got a lot of respect for me.
I know that they will watch my back
and I will have to respect them
And they know I've had their backs
many times for them
because I know that they will die for me
and I'll die for them.
They'll shoot for me and I'll shoot for them.
Let's all get in the car quick.
He's in the van.
Where's Adam and Michael?
I don't know where Dominic is.
Shut up. Shut the f*** up.
You nearly got me arrested
for your shouting!
He poked me in the f***ing face,
you little knobhead.
Don't take me for some
little d*ckhead, right!
Don't take me for some little d*ckhead.
I was getting griped up for f*** all,
so don't take me for some dick.
done for on the street.
Because I'm shouting at you...
Because I'm shouting at you,
You were told to give your name
and information, yeah?
Give the information
and shut your f***ing mouth.
I f***ing gave my information.
You weren't getting grabbed up,
you little knobhead,
so shut your f***ing mouth!
They said he'll be out Monday now.
They've taken the car, have they?
We've got to get our van now.
That's been clamped, sorry to say.
- I asked.
- It's not. It's not.
Dom said it might be...
Steve said they clamp them for the day...
You can't do a right here, can you?
No. Go on, just do one anyway.
We was walking up the road, yeah,
to collect the car, to collect the van,
and an Audi's pulled up,
a knob in an Audi Estate's pulled up,
skidded, jumped out,
said, "No one move.
"Stand again the wall. Freeze.
"Put your hands up.
Let me see your hands," and all that.
So why were you two guys fighting?
That was just a little silly argument
blown out of proportion.
The police were like...
He's giving the police loads, yeah?
I'm just trying to calm down,
saying, the more you shout,
the more you're just gonna
get yourself f***ed.
They'll just arrest you.
They'll say, "Look, sunshine,"
throw you in the back of the van,
and he's riding f***ing...
But there's a way of doing it
and there's a way
of explaining things to people,
and poking somebody in the face
in a public place just pissed me off.
Andy, how do you feel about being the boss?
We're the boss.
Me and him are the oldest, simple as.
And we're the younger brothers of the family.
Thank you.
Have you been arrested before?
I have done, yeah, and I've been
into a young offenders institute.
- And how old are you now?
- Seventeen.
You're 17.
So, if you weren't working for Dom,
what would you be doing?
Acting.
Acting? Great.
So who are you acting for?
I've done things for Red Productions,
Love In the 21 st Century,
I've done adverts with Roy Keane
and David Beckham.
Really?
but he won't get off his arse
and get it into gear four and do his lines.
Whoa!
Why do I need to sit and stand
and just speak a load of bullshit
into a camera?
I've got better things to do with my time.
You'd make more money from acting
than you would from criminality.
I wouldn't say that.
- But I'm not a criminal.
- Okay.
You're just assuming I'm a criminal.
I'm not.
But you're part of the crew.
Are you part of crew?
Part of Dominic's crew?
Dominic's...
I'm not saying I'm part of his cr...
I'm friends with Dominic,
do you know what I mean?
- You clearly get respect when you go...
Oh, yeah, you do.
Everywhere we go,
everywhere we've been with him, isn't it?
They always... Everyone shakes
your hand everywhere you go.
I suppose you do get a bit of a big head
standing next to him and all that.
He's genuine, man.
He's top.
Do you think there'll ever be a day
when one of you guys
are gonna turn grass on the other?
- No.
- Really?
Every criminal gang always has a grass in it.
No.
Well, unlucky for those that do,
then, isn't it?
I was kept in the cell Saturday night
and Sunday night.
No visits, no phone calls,
no letters, no mails,
no newspapers to read.
Not even a change of clothing
Other prisoners got that,
but not me, of course.
You know what? The police harassment
You know all the vehicles,
you know they're all insured,
you know they're all taxed.
You ever think of going straight?
I've thought about it many times,
but sometimes it's difficult.
I'm trying to set up a security firm,
but the police won't let us go straight.
It's the way the police is
around here in Manchester.
Yeah, but the going straight
is a personal decision, isn't it?
You could go straight.
You choose not to.
No, you can go straight,
but it's just that we've got that name.
Got that reputation.
The reputation goes before the name.
But you made that reputation,
along with your brothers.
Maybe so, but at the end of the day
we don't really want to keep that reputation.
It's just stuck with us.
Stuck with us through
generations of uncles, as well.
And now our nephews
As we get older, they'll suffer the same.
So, do you think you were always
destined to be a criminal
and you are always destined
to continue that work
and not go straight?
You never know what's round the corner.
You never know what...
Might win the lottery.
I've got a f***ing leather sofa
that I need to sell,
but it's f***ing bank holiday and sh*t.
No one's got any f***ing money.
Just talk to them, just tell them the story,
and then I'll go and talk to the other fellow
and f***ing get the payments down.
Yeah. Well, I can try.
I can get 500 for tomorrow morning.
All right, I'll give you a call
in about an hour,
let you know what's happening.
- All right. Cheers, Dom.
- All right. So long.
This guy f***ing got himself
into some serious trouble.
He's gone to some f***ing
really heavy gangster
and got himself into some
serious f***ing debt.
He's offered the guy nine grand
for a two-grand f***ing loan.
The f***ing knob.
Just for the record,
what made you... possessed you
to go into a post office with no weapon
and expect to walk out?
F***ing stupidity, I think.
I walked in, put the bag in
through the tray and said,
"Put the money in the bag
and don't do anything stupid."
He went, "What?"
So I repeated myself.
He went, "F*** off!"
Pushed the button.
And I was like, "F***!"
'Cause I've seen it on TV
where the f***ing...
the shutters come down
