The Krays were an evil pair of little scumbags not because of the
murders -- topping someone like Jack McVitie comes with the territory --
but the way they ran the Conservative politician (later Lord) Boothby by
feeding him adolescent amateur boxers who couldn't say no unless they
wanted to be kneecapped was just a little (for all of me) beyond it.
It bought them maybe ten extra years, but only ten years, so maybe there
+is+ some justice ...
I'm not normally vindictive, but when Ronnie died in prison, it made my
day.
