Most won'r listen for two reasons:
They are a "face" and don't wanna be proven wrong,
or,

And yes, I would have no doubt that there are triads and wiseguys in england (idk about nottingham specifclly but, w/e.) Anywhere theres poor ethnic groups, be it black, white, asian, theres bound to be their criminal element. Idk why anyone would think otherwise.
