I just watched this last night.
Now to me, is he really a respected head of a criminal organisation?
Key word is "respected".
Looking at the company he keeps with a buch of "semmingly thick" teenage boys and just his general demeanour, I just can't really see him being any thing close to a type of crime king pin...?
Perhaps he did keep his real cohorts of screen to protect but even still, he seems to be a guy with no money, a bunch of second hand vehicles, very low IQ kept company and not to mention he's gay.

Is there someone who can really confrim whther this guy is actually the bollocks in Manchester or just England in general or is he just some small time thick crook with a story/reputation blwon out of proportion?
