  • Manchester, a Gangster city from the early 1910's, notable for the worst gun culture in Europe's history. South Manchester's gangs became engaged in feuds with each other for the control of the drug trade. Shootings and murders increased in frequency in the area. This started attracting negative news and media headlines, with the nickname of 'Gunchester' being used to sum up this increase in gang, drugs and firearms activity.

    Theres always one person who comments on any video about British gang culture claiming America is so much rougher, 1 difference in size 2 difference in population 3 firearms laws....... so tbh yeah America probably is more dangerous but who actually cares? its like childish playground antics my dad is harder than your dad lol grow up

      sean mclellan I couldnt agree more. I couldn't be prouder to be from where I grew up, but unfortunately gun violence is definitely a part of life here, nothing to brag about let a couple of people you know get murdered than tell me how that feels, unless of course you are the type of of person that takes pride in such negative shit.

ANYWAY FANTASTIC PEOPLE AND GREAT BANTER.we would often drive around moss side in my mates car and buy some nice weed from the lads on the bikes.good days

    Remember when organised crime in Moss Side turned pretty medieval, more and more people getting hacked with machetes (in addition to firearms) etc. Then the police pretty much banged up everyone who wasn't squeaky clean in the entire area. Crime plummeted after that but left a vacuum for other areas to take advantage of.. Salford, Cheetham Hill, even Scousers, Brummies & Southerners.

And the bookies in the prescent all the dealers hid the brown an rock in holes in the wall, when a buyer came in the dd would reach in the hole in wall an get what he wanted. Claremont rd was just one massive front line before Operation china pretty much closed it down where you got the best brown, white or weed for the cheapest prices. The best sensi, weed you ever smoked from moss side, all my family right back to1920s born an bred and proud of it. Its home an i love the place although things are changing fast.

    From the U.K. - Been to Amercia twice (Detroit, Ohio & Opa Locka/MIA) but never NYC. NYC was at it worst throughout the 1970's & 1980's. Even during the late 1980's, parts of NYC looked like parts of Germany & during the war, after it had been blitz and that's NOT a joke or exaggeration to. That's just setting the scene/the backdrop. Add to that (1st) heroin epidemic, then (2) serial killer phenomena, then (3) loads of ex-Vietnam war veternas, wondering the streets & out of their minds on drugs, (4)hiv/aids epidemic, then (5) crack cocaine epidemic, then (6) gang culture, then (7) street crime that fuelled smack & crack, then (8) liberal guns laws. NYC during the 1970's & 1980's was "YES" a place to travel and for international business, but NOT an international tourist destination like it is today...... The point being made is that there never had been a place, time or era in the U.K., that could or would rival USA for violence/crime THANK GOD.

    If people spoke to the police rather than allow drugs pushers and dealers to hide within the community then the young people wouldn't be being shot on the street.
    If you don't act like a community and don't fight to keep the crooks off the street, then you are allowing crooks to act as they wish.
    Don't blame the police for targeting everyone, if you don't tell them who the crooks are.

      The people of Ireland had enough of terrorists murders and stood up and stopped the violence. It's not just fear of dealers it's an institutional hatred of the Police. Well there is no one else to help you put these thugs away so wake up.
