Possibly because of the 90s film where they were both paid £255,000 for the rights and the bodyguard firm Charlie was running. It was useless anyway as they both died in prison (well Reggie was released and spent 3 weeks in a hotel before dying) without any direct family to leave it to.

There’s a scene where Ronnie tells Francis “Sometimes in order to grow, you need to cut off a little piece of yourself.” That line was said to Tom Hardy by Charles Bronson, the prisoner Hardy would play as. Hardy just got his heart broken by his girlfriend and Bronson gave him that advice to help him move on.

Ronnie was committed to a psychiatric institute in real life yes. However, it wasn't the psychiatrist that was threatened by Reggie that got Ronnie released. Since they were twins, Reggie went to visit Ronnie and swap places with him. That's actually how Ronnie got back out in the streets. Reggie on the other hand displayed sanle (normal mental) tendencies to staff, so they released him.

@TrapHouseMafia Ltd No offence, but you must be American, If you weren't then you'd know about the Richardsons. The Krays were hyped up, mainly because they were blackmailing the Government. If you believe that the Krays were bigger than the Richardsons then go ahead, that's fine. I'll bet you don't even know that the both twins were Gay. Reggie just didn't want to be, he was actually interested in the brother of his soon to be wife before he met her and when the brother didn't accept his advances, he decided that the sister would do instead, allegedly. His wife knew he was trying to hide his desire for men, but hey you obviously know more than I do. I'll even bet that you don't know Henry Hill was into young men too. Take care and have a good day, Sir.

With them and Jack the Ripper, the area has a lot of fascinating and frightening history.

He wasn't openly gay, no one knew at the time. George Cornell never called him a fat poof either because that word didn't exist at the time, it was unthinkable in that walk of life in those days that some one could be gay. Plus Ronnie Kray was a paedophile with his mate lord Boothby so deviance and secrecy was important to him.

My dad was born in the east end during the era of the Krays and the Richardsons (the film calls them the torture gang). The Richardsons were not stopped by the Krays, they got broke up by the police a year or two before the Krays got broken up. The shooting of George is what started the beginning of the end for the Krays. The methods the Richardsons used was what ended it for them, (cutting peoples toes off with bolt cutters, and nailing people to the floor for example)

So this is the first video of yours I've seen, but it definitely won't be the last. You speak very frankly and openly about your life experience, it's a valuable perspective worthy of massive respect. Having a conversation with you must be a philosophical trip! I'll check out your book when I get the chance. Appreciate what you do!

The identical twin thing I recognise from my own father, Derek, who had an identical twin brother, Delwyn. The krays as twins and my old man and his twin have so many similarities that i always assumed its a comment thing. My old man was more calm, level headed and reserved than his twin brother. The two of them could and regularly did have physical fights and punch lumps out of each other and yet the sibling bond I saw was much stronger than average brothers. Both of them worked in the same yard for 20 years together and I myself did so with them for a short time. It was quite funny to hear the owner of the yard tell me that if he wants to have Delwyn do something on the yard that he would go ask my dad Derek to ask Delwyn because Delwyn didn't like to be told to do something and did not listen. So the boss would ask my old man to ask him cause he would do it if it was his brother that was asking him. The.yard owner knew if he sacked my dad's brother my old man would leave too so couldn't because the job was a skilled one which youd have to train new employees to do. I heard many very funny stories from other people which my old man confirmed and one quick one that I remember my old man telling me that I found funny (as did he) was a nite that both of them were arrested and my old man being pretty drunk puched a police officer who was trying to stop him and Delwyn in the street and cop hit his panic button. I don't know if US police have these but here in UK police basically have a small button on their radio that if pressed signals to every other cop within a 10 mile or so radius to immediately drop whatever they are doing and respond to that because it is only used to notify all other cops that a colleague of theirs is in serious trouble and need help. When they do press it you will literally see blue lights come from all directions. So, anyway, button is pressed and both my old man and Delwhy are arrested and held overnight in different police stations. Next day both are bailed and my dad goes home where Delwyn is waiting. Delwyn has fresh black eye, split lip, lumps on head etc and my old man asked what the hell happened to him. He said " I was fast asleep and at 3am the cell door opens and five of them came in the cell and beat shit out of me! Bastard, you punched the copper and they thought I was you!" My old man thought that was hilarious, I did too when he was telling me.

@chris brady Just because they did their homework on the likes of Lenny McClean it doesn't mean the film itself has any basis in reality. True Geordie did a podcast with a well known London gangster called Bobby Cummines, who specifically said of Lock Stock, and I quote; "Forget what you see in films like that Lock Stock, absolutely- I sat there and I was laughing my head off, it was like a comedy series! I thought are you taking the piss or what?" and described films like Pink Panther and Oceans Eleven as a more accurate portrayal of the life of a career criminal.
