      yeah but back then a group of Black boys were just that, a group of black boys, now we have Knife-wielding gangs and they're prepared to use those knives, some wear face masks. They make RUclips clips in balaclavas where they rap about stabbing 'opps' till the knife snaps in them and selling drugs. We also have groups of Black boys who are just black boys, going to college and universities and trying to elevate themselves but look the same as the gang, how do the Police tell them apart?

      I had one, was self employed courier van driver.It was only the self employed ,yuppies and crims who had them.The costs were horrendous, probably the equivalent of £1.50 to £2 in today`s money per minute to phone anyone.The monthly charges (before you made calls) were about 30 quid which is about 100 to 150 adjusted for inflation.
