Vic is obviously a colorful bloke, but I did have a chuckle at his comment, words of the effect, 'Nowadays the system is completely against ya... the prisons, the police, the courts' .... that is the general idea when you commit crime. Its like implying in the good ol' days they went a bit more lenient or softer because 'he's a decent sort of villain who helps old ladies cross the road'!! Its kinda where you chose to pitch your standards and ethic's I suppose. Good content James.

Vic's story about the robbery that went wrong and ended up with him burying himself in a potato field is one of the best capers I've ever heard, completely enthralling and it happened in real life. You could totally see a movie being made wbout his life of crime. It would as he himself said be the British equivalent of The Town.

      "We dont need the police, we're working class.." The working class have had their streets taken off them by the atomisation of society, all these areas have been flooded by massive numbers of migrants who have taken over the areas that he grew up in. How can the white working class tell anyone what to do, how can they police their own neighbourhoods anymore..? in the way they used to do? They've been marginalised. "Until we get back control" Whens that gonna happen? The globalists have won.
