Scotland's Gypsy/Travellers are also a factor.

Sure there must be some in the UK, there is a large amount of Italians based here, and this goes back many years.

We see that in all urban areas in Europe sometimes it's a warzone. There are about 200 identified gangs in London.

A man wanted by the National Crime Agency for eight years has admitted to being involved in large-scale international drug trafficking. It concerns Michael Moogan (36) from Croxteth near Liverpool, who was extradited from Dubai to British police in July . Moogan narrowly escaped in 2013 during a police raid on the notorious Rotterdam café De Ketel.

That cafe was a meeting place for people involved in international drug trafficking, it was not just open to the public but only accessible to familiar faces through a security system. Moogan turned up in a Dutch National Unit investigation. He was linked with others in plans to ship hundreds of kilograms of cocaine to the UK every month from South America.

Robert Hamilton, 71, was arrested near Manchester in the 2013 raid. He was jailed for eight years in 2014 after pleading drug charges. Another co-defendant, Robert Gerard (57) of Liverpool, turned himself in to the NCA after being on the run for three years. He also made statements and was sentenced to 14 years in prison in England in 2017.

According to the NCA, Moogan deposited $500,000 per shipment to Europe with South American suppliers, making those payments through Iraqis operating out of London. The South Americans shipped cocaine to various ports in Europe, and Moogan was responsible for hauling it out of the ports and transporting it within Europe.

He's also of Irish decent I believe.

David Hunt Sr was born in 1961 in Canning Town to May (née Wicks) and George Hunt,[17][18] the youngest of 13 children.

Maybe they have an Irish great grandparent somewhere - which British guy in any major UK city doesn't have an Irish ancestor somewhere down the line? - but I believe the Hunts are pretty much of full English descent. However their former colleague, Jimmy M., is of half Irish descent.

Adams are of full Irish descent as are the Reilly's - like most families in that part of Northeast London. The Brindle's and the Daly's in Southeast London are both of half Irish descent.

Anyway, I think any of those guys will regard themselves as Londoners first and foremost.

True where they were born and grew up is more relevant the Hunt's grew up in canning town near the port back in the days a real slum it had London’s largest black population of any area in London.

London also had some powerful Jewish gangsters. Little Russia was an area of Tottenham. There are still many Russians in London.

The "Operation Tiberius" report is actually pretty damn terrifying. Eight major crime firms in Northeast and East London having contacts within Scotland Yard and Freemasonry so far reaching that they basically had free rein.

Already in 1994 Lord Nolan was appointed by PM John Major to chair an Inquiry into Freemasonry within the Police.
