The Violent Boom In Asian Gangs Battling Over London | Gangs Of Britain | Absolute Crime

- Brothers Gary and Martin Kemp turn their attentions to Britain's capital. London has always had criminals. The biggest city in Britain is like a magnet to those wanting to make a bob or two - even if that means taking the law into their own hands. Since the 1900's as many as 70 gangs have fought it out on London streets. The Second World War put pay to many of them but there was one vicious East End gang that kept alive even up to the 1960's though their origins went right back to the 19th century. Gary investigates the infamous Watney Streeters gang. A hundred years later a new wave of Asian immigrants had arrived in London. To protect themselves they formed gangs but it wasn't long before protection turned instead to extortion and then massive drug smuggling. Martin looks into the ruthless and dreaded Toot Nung gang from Southall, West London.

Well presented and informative. Thank you Kemp brothers.
Thanks for this, well documented and explained history of London's gangs and crime.
Great to see the Kemp brothers again on our screens and the other experts came across as very well informed as also.
More of this type of documentary please!
Great to see the kemp brothers back on our screens? Are you okay?
@@user-go6qh4ks2lIt’s his opinion, it’s called free speech. Are you ok?
Free speech for good thing only
🙄🤮
The ham acting in this introduction is hilarious. Reminds me of the Ricky Gervais and Ross Kemp comedy sketch in the show 'Extras' where Kemp acts tough to impress.
Top class documentary and well presented by the Kemp boys ,more please ❤❤❤

South Asian gangs might be powerful in Southall, where almost everybody is South Asian. They can push around their own people, but everywhere else in London they have never really made much of an impact.
More prevalent up north where lots of Pakistanis but there are also ethnic gangs.
London has strong Turkish drugs gangs. They have Essex white boy gangs etc etc
Check my UA-cam channel, I have a documentary about a Bangladeshi gang who had fights with racist white people in east London, South Asian gangs were active in most areas of East London and fought racists and then got involved in crime later on.
Quite true, I don't think they have the same level of street credibility as Jamaicans for example

@@Blissblizzard lol . So what are you really saying ?
I've seen gangs made up of people from all kinds of racial backgrounds that you might think wouldn't normally associate, brought together under one common cause, crime. A lot of young people are recruited into gangs in schools and colleges. The emphasis should be on preventing our young people from joining gangs in the first place.
Thanks to organizations like the Italian Mafia and the Krays etc, gang life has been 'romanticised' in order to appeal to young people. A bit like how if you ask someone today what first comes to mind when you say the word 'pirate'. They will come back with some swashbuckling heart throb from a Hollywood movie. They have NO idea how violent and bloody old world piracy actually was. I'd try sending journalists and headteachers etc into prisons and getting prisoners who were also once gang members, to tell their stories about the reality of gang life on video, and urge young people NOT to join gangs. This would also give them the chance to express their remorse and make up, if only a little, for what they have done.
These videos could then be shown to older school year groups as part of PHSE studies. More intervention at that stage might prevent them from joining gangs, and in turn, will make them better future parents and prevent their children from doing so too, so on so forth.
Prevention is better than cure, as you've said. The way to do this is by creating a culture of security/ good self-esteem and hope via education and job opportunities in society, until then crime will often win over delicate young souls.
I smell turd 🤡🦍✊
@brockit79 Absolutely nailed it.
If you want to stop kids doing crime, you have to give them viable alternatives and empower them by having the confidence and self belief to choose a different path. You also have to be honest with them and tell them why private prisons exist..who benefits from them..why, where the profits go and who invests in them.
When you've got a 15 year old with 100 grand in a shoebox under their bed, simply telling them crime is bad and that they should go and get a job for 20k a year isn't going to cut it.
Penal system doesn't seem to be very harsh as it is in Asia which deters crime much better it seems.
Perfect documentary for a relaxed Monday evening 😊

Racist skin heads was the first gang and people got together to defend against them that's why
That’s how the gangs started. It’s when the racism died down they began to victimise their own communities.
You clearly have no knowledge of the history of racism in Southall do you ? Maybe read up about it, and you may get a little education on reality
@@shsh-he5qg ah, you're one of those, aren't you? You will blame historic racism for the any poor choices made by people.

Tory & Labour are to blame for this terrible mess.
Those who own parliament, politicians, the royal family and banking establishment you mean.
Well all the British Gangster have moved to South of Spain. So just like all other industries we are having to import to fill the vacancies.
As long as the gap between the rich and the poor keep widening world wide, this is what we are going to get. The wider the gap, the worse the problems are going to be…
The actual problem is open borders and left wing politics allowing everybody into the countries. All of Europe and by now even the US learns this lesson the hard way. Within a decade Sweden turned from the most peaceful european country into a total hell hole because the left-wing politicians decided it would be a great idea to import countless muslims and africans. Same in France, Germany, Italy, the UK, everywhere and they all brought their gang culture (and homophobia, sexism, racism, antisemitism and pedophilia) with them.
And leftists wonder how it could be that way, while ignorant fools blame it on money, lol.
About 30 years to late making this, we are talking millions a year from drug dealing- Whitechapel ( in 1990) I knew smack dealers who had 3 cars driving around 24/7 ( by day driggies shoplifting by night the hookers/ working girls from Shoreditch Whitechapel all round brick lane; were talking 3 phones with sequential numbers that was ringing non stop- easy selling a few ounces a day of both ( smack & crack) the working girls ( what 150 of them) would spend 300-400 a night EASY - we're talking serious money & very serious violence- they had a car hire company that the drivers would use & this was also how they was laundering the money, having 30 cars -high end range rovers Audi Q8s that they would allow the gangs to use free ( ferrari & 911S Rolls Royce the higher end the more they was laundering ) as the cars was never hired but shared for free & tge miney from the drug dealing was going through this business- this is just the one I happened to know a whole load about but we're talking millions- in fact it's just got worse, certain areas you stand on a street & within 19 mins you'll be offered drugs ( this is what caused the violence-
6 years ago I was doing a day shift on a film unit as security, round mile end. I got chatting to a down and out. He told me that about 2 weeks previously the cops caught a gang of 42 people in one organisation, shutting down the phone line they were running. He said they were all are east Asian
@@jazztheglass6139 oh yes it's HUGE & runs like a Swiss watch- the police take out 42 people ( thats just 1 of many ) that next night not 8 hrs later tgey have 3 new drivers per 8hr shift- new phones & its back running again- that Area makes the drug abuse / prostitution problem in soho look silly- talking millions literally 🙄
Sounds like the lot from brick lane.

Heroin decimated British youth throughout the seventies and on. Martin Kemp is right to say it’s as bad as ever. But Indian people are not the consumers in any great number. Heroin is one reason Britain was ethnically cleansed, but no one will mention that. You can see the results by walking down any street in Britain now. Interestingly, scourges found around the world, like crystal meth and fentanyl are not found in Britain like they are in America or the far east. Is that because we have a more recent population who protect the traditional drug of the South Asia?
Indians are far far far better educated and wealthy than White Brits.
That is so ironic given that Brits were the ones who pursued and benefited from the Opium trade that still impacts Afghanistan and Myanmar, not to mention HK history. It's poetic in a way.
Interesting upload. There was a band ad on before this, I Wish You Were Dead. Great song, if you're reading this! I tend to watch the ads, sometimes good information. If only UA-cam would enable more information about the adverts! Please!
This video is quite refreshing to watch because it was Britain that used to export violence and crimes to other countries.

Did the Irish return home I don't think so.
I hope so...but your reyssist ilk outside europe must also go back..humans dont want wite settlers outside europe...
This is years old London has deteriorated significantly since this program
these kemp brothers act like they are top criminal practitioners themselves. with there "jack the lad" delivery and pseudo menacing expressions. as far as i know there claim to fame extends no further than pop music and acting. the closest they came to being "criminals" seems to be their portrayal of the kray twins 34 years ago. i find them comical.

Not Asian, that’s disingenuous towards Chinese, Koreans, Thais etc. they are Pakistani, say it like it is.
Not only Pakistanis, also Indian subcontinent,Bangladeshi, Sri Lankans.
Agree
What Americans call South Asians (as opposed to East Asians). Perhaps we should use those categories?
People from Indian subcontinent are also Asian.
It was about Indians (Sikhs and Hindus) Not Pakistanis (Muslims) you fool.
What year was this documentary
Recruitment usually happens for earlier schools and colleges maybe these people want to know these people that they're from there hood as they so called many more of us than they are
Explains Sadiq.
Jesus these 2 🤡🤡 milking the life out of the Kray bollox
This was an interesting watch, but I worked in the area of Tooting for over twenty years from the mid seventies to the late nineties and never heard of any gangs or gang warfare in this area.
Also living as a child in Bermondsey was aware of Cable Street, there was always the threat of the Cable Street gang, as we new them, being told to not go there after dark, or if you did, at your own peril, yes, there were Irish immigrants, but don’t forget there was also Chinese and Maltese in the area who could look after themselves as well and could be just as ruthless!!!
These “Asian” gangs are predominantly Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi. Britain needs to come up with a new label for people from the Indian sub-continent. Most countries call them “South Asian.”
Asian means Subcontinent lol
Should be more specific. These are South Asians.
I can tell you're not from the UK.
I dont know any country called South Asia
@@petepipee6751 I don't know any country called Europe either, yet British people are still European. Country and continent aren't mutually exclusive you know.

It's not 'Asian' not 'South Asian' it's Pakistani gangs. 100 percent of them are Pakistanis
long term tory policy of 'shit pay UK' ensures kids will get dragged into this shit.
1) highly unequal schooling/opportunities
2) work flat out for a pittance, pay it all out in rent/basics.
disadvantaged kids can see what's right in front of the vast majority of them every day...nothing.
Why work 9-5 when you can be in a gang. Sad but true
Get rid of all the gangs
Yes especially the ones in uniform that think there duty is to protect the elite pedophiles
Wow what a fresh and revolutionary idea I bet nobody else has ever thought of that!

Then where would people get their drugs from?
when they forced condon to be more 'correct', the police lost contact and control over a huge part of the market, hence, the success of the golden mile in harringey

The golden mile what is that ? I genuinely don't no where that is
So sad
I was expecting the Triads.
Well watch American documentaries then
I resent the use of the word "Asian" which includes very peaceful East Asian cultures
It's about money, rascim and violence is a by product
Yes I think money is the strongest motive. Most things can benefit from having money. Money is the oil.
I think in the start, they fought for survival. Now, companies need these professionals for their own survival.

It’s talking about the past history what’s it like now it’s still the same is it different I should imagine a more of them now that particular that these people
Dockers pay was a pittance so they saw it as their right to take concessionary goods for sale to make their money up.
It was during the prolific Atlantic slave trade that the authorities took notice, by then theft was seen as normal for dock labourers.
They introduced a state funded police to stop these thefts. It was the first police force and it's remit was to Protect the Property of the Slave Traders.
Not much has changed since.
There's a celebration, festival type thing that happens in London with the Indian community idk what they celebrate but they come together and do an event they are all smiling and dancing with all colourful clothes on. Bet there's no cast division when that thing is going on, so I don't see why it should be any different when it's a normal day. Well the British are not much different they are divided by rich, working class and poor so I think prejudice is everywhere
Nope caste divisions in South Asia are significantly worse than class divisions in the West , if anything in this day and age out of all the immigrants in the UK, I would argue that middle easterners and Asians are amongst the most prejudiced.
There’s no caste division even in India. Ask them to name these so called temples or businesses that ask for ur caste credentials before entering. This is classic propaganda
@@RojaJaneman What planet do you live on.
Is Gary and Martin Kemp, Ross Kemp’s kids?
The UK royals are the biggest gang in London.
The big change since the sixties is that street corner thugs earn much more money today. Drugs changed everything, what drug dealer is going to give up a £100k a year job for McDonald’s?
100k a week is more like it if ur on rd 24/7 controlling a block or area I'd bet some make more
Toughest gangs are Bangladeshi ones. Brick Lane Massive and Whitechapel Tigers are two of the bigger ones, they had Yardies, Triads and East End White Gangs petrified of geographic penetration
