That interview with the Met police commander was fucking unbelievable. Just goes to show they waited for the problem to get out of hand before they took any real action - makes you think how many lives could have been saved had they took things more seriously.
It’s classic police action. A lot of times the police will refuse to take action for things like a missing person, they try to convince the person making the report they have to wait 24-48 hours, or they shrug them off as a runaway. If someone burgles your house all they do is take a report and move on. Half the time it takes them hours and hours to show up so you can just make a report. Nothing happens unless they’re lucky enough to catch a crime in the act or the crime is extreme enough.
Bro this was what it was like !! Chills my bones tbh!!! I came out good though!! Live in America now got a good life !!! Was born in lewisham hospital and lived in new cross ! My parents used to drop me off in the ferrier estate at my aunties house with no idea what that meant! I got dropped off at other uncles and auntie houses in lewisham and brockley too! Just never got caught up ! American gangs may seem more deadly but ….. Europe as a whole is / has a way more darker energy to it!

Love how when the guy doing the documentary's doin the commentary hes all prim and proper but when hes talking to the lads hes like "wag1 my g whats appening ? suttin a gwarn ya ear me" loooooool
also the Ferrier estate which was a no go around 2008.There were blocks where only a couple residents were living in and the conditions were terrible and the gangs were active but the place doesn't exist anymore. They knocked it down for private homes and only around 20% social housing.
You obviously haven’t watched the film. The kid who had to leave wasnt in a gang. Kids get caught up and done for not joining gangs. They get done at school and on their estate.
6:22 - Rest in peace Charlie Lockyer, who passed away Nov 2022. A world renowned skater with a talented past and bright future, leaving gang life behind after filming. This is a snapshot from the entity of a man who lived a few lives, having experienced a lot by his early 20s, and moving on to coach youngsters in recent years. His family are taking donations via gofundme.
I remember watching this on TV in 2003/2004. I was in year 10, top of the class expected to go on and study at Oxford/Cambridge. I joined the gang life, got out quickly, went to a shit uni got a 2:2, now working for a bank. Driving an 07 plate Merc😂😂😂

@@the-blue-barron2791 init these lot really think london is bad now because of drill music and beef. But back then anyone was getting touched these days it's more targeted
Love the way the interviewer changes up his accent and way of speak when narrating and when chatting normally and freely. A lot of people watching won't be able to relate
I grew up in south East London around all the gang stuff … glad my parents were able to keep me away from it! My son is one year old and I got know doubt my son will also not be involved ! Prayers sent to the young lads who have never been given the guidance I had!
If you watch any old documentaries about deprived areas of Britain in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, the people are always quite well dressed, dignified, articulate and trying their best to provide for their families. But in the last 40 years gradually everyone has become scruffier and scruffier and the low standards of education mean that they can barely speak proper English. It's appalling what has happened over the decades.
32:28 This young kid thinking about how his family could suffer having to bury him....man for a kid of that age to be so aware of this is so poignant and terrifying
People back then were more mature for their age, they were inside less. These days kids just grow up inside of social media and don't experiences real life thinggs
I grew up on the Cambridge Estate in Kingston, my mum moved us away when someone got stabbed to death a few ft from me whilst I was playing with friends.
I grew up on the ferrier in the 80’s/90’s and everyone was so poor we all stuck together. If there was ever any rivalry with other gangs, thamesmead, woolwich, barnfield estates the rave scene brought us all together. I remember going back in these times (when this was filmed) to visit my family and it was like a Somali war zone.
@@marctomkins I get what you mean, was SE1 myself in the 90's and got fronted by a gang from another code looking for somebody i knew, but wouldn't call a friend, over a stolen bike. I was literally about to get attacked by about 12 lads as one took a swing at me when one of them recognised me from the 'rave scene' (think I'd bought a shed load of pills off him for me and all my mates) and he called his boys off saying he's (me) is safe. So yeah thank fuck for the rave scene, well in those days anyway 👍
This was filmed in 2003, and Somali’s have been coming to the UK since at least the 80s, but a lot more came after 1997 when Toby Blair was in power, and from then on that’s when Woolwich boys were mostly Somali. They’ve gotten more diverse again nowadays
I met a few guys in gangs in 2001 when I visited England, it was interesting to see the differences and similarities to our gangs in the US. The gangs in England tend to attack in bigger groups, with knives and machetes. In the US its usually a smaller group of heavily armed guys hosing down the large group. US gang members have a higher danger of being killed by police, in England they arent worried about the police because as you see they dont use the same tactics against them. I dont know how much has changed in those 20 plus years, but what I saw was an equally dangerous gang but different tactics.
Depends, there's always been police here with guns, they're just in specific departments. But I mean back then... yeah they didn't seem so serious. But generally, when a gun is reported, the gun squad comes, if it's knives they don't.
I'd say they've gotten worse and probably more similar to the american gangs these days. These days everyones got a big fat knife down there trousers and a lot of them have guns too, social media has made tensions worse and instead of vandalising bus stops and stealing phones they're all selling hard drugs and doing armed robberies on other drug dealers. On the plus side you're a lot less likely to get randomly attacked as long as you don't look like one of them. Still I grew up in a relatively not too bad part of central london and I used to hear at least one or two shootings happen on my street every year which I don't think would've been the case 20 years ago.
I had the misfortune to live in Northampton's Red Light District for a while. It was insane. From teenage Prossies to gun carrying crack dealers it was mental. I thought Northampton would be a small, quiet town. It was a dodgy shit hole. Sorry Northampton, I really hope you've changed in the 20 years since I was last there.
its a mixed bag, the seeling of drugs is in city center right infront of police, and drug addicts get high every where, pack of teenagers roaming the parks, its a small town but for a short time i was there, seen few incidents , seems like whole england is infected, the "regular" youth still go in city center to get drunk out of their minds and the district is ridddled with nitrous capsules...but it becomes like that in easter europe too, not getting better mate, its the end times
When I started reading Jerusalem by Alan Moore I became interested in visiting Northampton. I eventually got around to it. Disappointment is an understatement. Absolute shit hole. But a lot of Britain is like that these days. It's a real shame.
Its so funny when the reporter starts talking to danny in the roadman accent jsut to get him to talk then he speaks back to the camera with this posh accent lol
23:26. It's crazy seeing Rapman when he was still on road. He looks so young here. I'm so glad he moved on to better himself. He's now a top-rated rapper and netflix producer. Talk about reaching your goals.
The mistrust of Police and unwillingness to talk to them is a direct result of the war on drugs. Even just using that term forces people to pick a side.
All the governments plan, make fortunes sending people to prison and the kids killing eachother makes the job easier moving them out and gentrifying places…rich get richer
I was a gang member. We were known as the Muff Diving crew. Me & my mates went pubs & bars and did our best to get as many muffs as possible. We saw every shape & size 😃
I am watching this for the very first time and guess who's album came out on this day? Yep you guest it, 50 Cent - Get Rich or Die Tryin’ released 6th February 2003. The Algorithm Gods are working overtime!!!!
We are currently the 6th richest nation on earth. Ask why there were and still are these levels of poverty and inequality when the rich have never been richer. There’s money… but why aren’t we seeing it? It’s by design, to quote Rishi Sunak: “I managed to start changing the funding formulas, to make sure areas like this (Tunbridge Wells) are getting the funding they deserve because we inherited a bunch of formulas from Labour that shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas and that needed to be undone. I started the work of undoing that.” Stop voting for the millionaires party, get real people into positions of power so we can reduce the gap between rich and poor and end inequality.
@@nothanksggl6599 You’re absolutely right, compared to Lagos this is a paradise, but that doesn’t mean we can just let things get worse. Food banks are providing 128% more emergency food parcels than they were 5 years ago. The number of homeless people in the U.K. has risen by 83% over the past decade and homeless deaths in the UK have increased by 80% since 2019. We may be comparatively better off than other places, but if we want to stop things getting worse, we need to start voting out the millionaires.
@@Brokout I agree, especially regarding the homeless (who are among the few who actually do experience true poverty in this country). But as you say, the nation keeps voting the tories in. I have a feeling things are going to get much worse before they get better.
if my kid gets beat up at school on a regular basis and nothing's done about it HE'S SIMPLY NOT GOING TO SCHOOL. I'm sorry but my kids not losing his life for education, from when a pupil in school is a threat to your life and authoritative figures like TEACHERS set an example of injustice there's no way i'd let my kid leave that door. As a black man i understand financially it may not be easy to keep your kid at home, but i for sure know its even harder to mourn them for the rest of your life just wishing you didn't continuously send them into deaths hands. My families been in this situation and the police arrested no one, i just didnt go to school till my life wasn't in danger and live to tell the tale.
some make it out and live normal lives - you'd never know. others cant get out and either die fighting, die in prison, or die on drugs eventually. everyone involved pays a price for certain.
I am from the same peer group as 24:00 . I can't ID them all but a few. I am now in my mid-30s and can tell you I live a staggeringly different life. My children are oblivious to the traumas I went through, and any old acquaintances from those times. I learned many great lessons from being in the thick of it and have become sharply aware of how to make things right for my kids. I am in a stable marriage and if you were to pass me on the street you would never know that I would sit on a brick wall all hours of the day with many of those people scheming and planning degeneracy and delinquent acts. There is a mother in this show, the mother of Jude. I remember when that happened, and as a parent now, I can't believe she never pulled her son out of that cesspit St Josephs's academy. Violence in school is a red flag and should never be tolerated.
The tape jumped. He said he was from the Stonebridge estate. Ishmahil Blagrove (the narrator) grew up in a flat on that NW10 estate, raised by his Jamaican parents. Back in the days when the blocks were there.
@@AnteNDH1 Part of it was filmed around where I grew up and featured people I knew. I came across the documentary in the video archive room at Richmond College, along with another one that also featured a local area and a different gang, but since then I could never remember them clearly and couldn't find them to rewatch
Growning up in SW london From the age of 17-25 ... 3 friends of mine were killed from stabbings, another 2 stabbed in the face but lived, and all had been to prison ranging from 1-7 year bids ... but to me growing up in this environment was completely normal..Everyone from a council estate lives this life.
Grew up with people in the Cambridge estate which is where the gang wk comes from and it’s rough, there should be more documentary’s and research on the place because there’s a lot of stuff that hapoened

@@MrGOD-mx5wb is she though , these young guys for sure became young fathers , that’s if most of them were not already . Probably in snd out of prison at some point in their life !
Yes bro. Ex pat west Londoner here. Grew on A40 mile up road from the Bush. Living in Leeds united land at moment. Still going about beating Chelsea! Respect.
Having spent most of my life in Detroit, all I could think watching this, was that British gangs are so adorable. Just a bunch of boys up to shenanigans, and playing gangster in the same way other kids play cops and robbers.
Do you honestly think these are our hardcore criminal firms? 😂 Americans are so fucking insular. These are dopey kids who think they’re living in some rap music video. Our real gangsters aren’t hanging on the street corner selling crack like yours mate, they’re upper echelon criminals that would put the shits up your baseball wearing halfwits.
That's because you are ignorant of the reality. London, birmingham, manchester, and liverpool have serious gang problems with regular stabbings and shootings over control of a rampant drugs trade. Lots of murders caused by the drill scene too, just like in america with the rap scene. A couple of years back the London gang murders were on par with New York.
I think that any of these kids that are involved in gang violence should be given a prison sentence. 10 years hard labor minimum. That should serve as a deterrent.
great documentary! the first estate with the low rise flats talking bout PTS is the watersedge estate in Ewell, on the outskirts of south London. I remember when at 7pm there would be a huge pack od dogs, you see the people let them out and they ran riot lol. Anyways since this documentary the estate got much worse. Looks can be deceiving it does look all good but theres alot of crack dealers street drinkers and the current gang WEC (Watersedge crew) i must admit there is nothing to do there. There is one shop and in the lst couple of years they built a skatepark so at least the coucil is trying to help the youth problem. But that estate is nowhere near as bad as some of the other estates near by. Which is a good thing. We need peace unity not violence.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea !" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
8 & 10 years old !! How sad . If I was one of their mothers I’d be terrified for them !! It’s not the children , it’s the system . Education , no after school activities , low job prospects ! and not much chance of moving out of the estates . It just seems apart from their own family no one cares about these kids . Broken Britain 👎🏻👎🏻
I watched this on TV years ago and always wanted to watch this again!!! Soon as I heard him say PTS I knew it is this one. The name pillin thugs stuck with me lol
I grew up on the Ferrier Estate, I wouldn't say it was so bad in the 80's but by the 90's it really picked up. Some kid's from my school just went off and killed another over a stupid rumour, that was one of the first teenage murders in the area, one of the kid's that did it got a life setence, from then it just got worse and worse.
@@j_c2225 They were stealing cars, joy-riding them around the area, then setting them alight. The Police managed to put a stop to it by lying in wait and quickly arresting them as soon as it happened. Late at night some kid's were literally intimidating locals, and some people were afraid, muggings, burgarly and assaults were increasing. Maybe that was part of the reason they decided to demolish the estate in the end.
The people in these gangs are not thinking for themselves do not appear to have their own opinions on things and just seem to be following a typical gang life style which is based on northing. To solve this the police must take control literally just arrest and keep these people in prison
27:33 lets give this policeman the recognition he deserves for what he did watch closely and you will see the boy actually aims a pistol at an armed officer but rather than shoot dead the young man the officer kicks the gun out his hand those actions did not go unnoticed 👍👍 kinda restores a bit of faith in humanity

Brilliant 👏
Read about code switching, especially with black people, its interesting.
also the Ferrier estate which was a no go around 2008.There were blocks where only a couple residents were living in and the conditions were terrible and the gangs were active but the place doesn't exist anymore. They knocked it down for private homes and only around 20% social housing.
Where did the displaced people end up? Were they relocated?
wonder how many of these kids have watched this years later and thought wtf was i doing ffs lol
Trust me😂😂
Friendly reminder that if you need to hang around in a gang to feel hard, you aren't.
But you already know they're cowards on their own.
You obviously haven’t watched the film. The kid who had to leave wasnt in a gang. Kids get caught up and done for not joining gangs. They get done at school and on their estate.
6:22 - Rest in peace Charlie Lockyer, who passed away Nov 2022. A world renowned skater with a talented past and bright future, leaving gang life behind after filming.

Amazing documentary... a shame it wasn’t all taken seriously back then .. copper was in denial! All about looking good and there stats. 20 years later nearly and gangs running rife through London. My heart bleeds for the mothers especially the mother of John and Jude ❤️🙏🏼
Facts!!! The officer's denial and his reluctance to implement a gang strategy nearly 20s years ago has now resulted in an epidemic of youth violence. I wonder how many senior officers had his approach because policing this problem now has become reactic. Youth violence is completely out of control.

You can tell that Police Commissioner had never been to an estate.
If you watch any old documentaries about deprived areas of Britain in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, the people are always quite well dressed, dignified, articulate and trying their best to provide for their families. But in the last 40 years gradually everyone has become scruffier and scruffier and the low standards of education mean that they can barely speak proper English. It's appalling what has happened over the decades.

That poor woman who had lost her son, and nobody does anything. The police are in denial.
no one goes to the police, everyone hates the police, everything they've tried to do people said its racist and they had to stop
I grew up on the ferrier in the 80’s/90’s and everyone was so poor we all stuck together. If there was ever any rivalry with other gangs, thamesmead, woolwich, barnfield estates the rave scene brought us all together. I remember going back in these times (when this was filmed) to visit my family and it was like a Somali war zone.
When did the Somali start making a gang
@@Search889 i have no idea. I moved from SE3 in 92.
When was this filmed? I’d say about then.
@@marctomkins I get what you mean, was SE1 myself in the 90's and got fronted by a gang from another code looking for somebody i knew, but wouldn't call a friend, over a stolen bike. I was literally about to get attacked by about 12 lads as one took a swing at me when one of them recognised me from the 'rave scene' (think I'd bought a shed load of pills off him for me and all my mates) and he called his boys off saying he's (me) is safe. So yeah thank fuck for the rave scene, well in those days anyway 👍
This was filmed in 2003, and Somali’s have been coming to the UK since at least the 80s, but a lot more came after 1997 when Toby Blair was in power, and from then on that’s when Woolwich boys were mostly Somali. They’ve gotten more diverse again nowadays

I met a few guys in gangs in 2001 when I visited England, it was interesting to see the differences and similarities to our gangs in the US. The gangs in England tend to attack in bigger groups, with knives and machetes. In the US its usually a smaller group of heavily armed guys hosing down the large group. US gang members have a higher danger of being killed by police, in England they arent worried about the police because as you see they dont use the same tactics against them. I dont know how much has changed in those 20 plus years, but what I saw was an equally dangerous gang but different tactics.
Where u from in US
Depends, there's always been police here with guns, they're just in specific departments. But I mean back then... yeah they didn't seem so serious. But generally, when a gun is reported, the gun squad comes, if it's knives they don't.
@@Laura-sg6ss the gun squad lol. Its fucking armed police laura
I'd say they've gotten worse and probably more similar to the american gangs these days. These days everyones got a big fat knife down there trousers and a lot of them have guns too, social media has made tensions worse and instead of vandalising bus stops and stealing phones they're all selling hard drugs and doing armed robberies on other drug dealers.
On the plus side you're a lot less likely to get randomly attacked as long as you don't look like one of them.
Still I grew up in a relatively not too bad part of central london and I used to hear at least one or two shootings happen on my street every year which I don't think would've been the case 20 years ago.

The mistrust of Police and unwillingness to talk to them is a direct result of the war on drugs. Even just using that term forces people to pick a side.

We are currently the 6th richest nation on earth. Ask why there were and still are these levels of poverty and inequality when the rich have never been richer. There’s money… but why aren’t we seeing it?
It’s by design, to quote Rishi Sunak:
“I managed to start changing the funding formulas, to make sure areas like this (Tunbridge Wells) are getting the funding they deserve because we inherited a bunch of formulas from Labour that shoved all the funding into deprived urban areas and that needed to be undone. I started the work of undoing that.”
Stop voting for the millionaires party, get real people into positions of power so we can reduce the gap between rich and poor and end inequality.
They only care about their tax cuts because none of this affects them. GET THE TORIES OUT
The poverty isn't that bad. Could be better, but the poorest people here are still better off than most of the world's population.

We may be comparatively better off than other places, but if we want to stop things getting worse, we need to start voting out the millionaires.
@@Brokout I agree, especially regarding the homeless (who are among the few who actually do experience true poverty in this country). But as you say, the nation keeps voting the tories in. I have a feeling things are going to get much worse before they get better.

I am from the same peer group as 24:00 . I can't ID them all but a few. I am now in my mid-30s and can tell you I live a staggeringly different life. My children are oblivious to the traumas I went through, and any old acquaintances from those times. I learned many great lessons from being in the thick of it and have become sharply aware of how to make things right for my kids. I am in a stable marriage and if you were to pass me on the street you would never know that I would sit on a brick wall all hours of the day with many of those people scheming and planning degeneracy and delinquent acts. There is a mother in this show, the mother of Jude. I remember when that happened, and as a parent now, I can't believe she never pulled her son out of that cesspit St Josephs's academy.

Looks can be deceiving it does look all good but theres alot of crack dealers street drinkers and the current gang WEC (Watersedge crew) i must admit there is nothing to do there. There is one shop and in the lst couple of years they built a skatepark so at least the coucil is trying to help the youth problem. But that estate is nowhere near as bad as some of the other estates near by. Which is a good thing. We need peace unity not violence.

I grew up on the Ferrier Estate, I wouldn't say it was so bad in the 80's but by the 90's it really picked up. Some kid's from my school just went off and killed another over a stupid rumour, that was one of the first teenage murders in the area, one of the kid's that did it got a life setence, from then it just got worse and worse.
And then by the 00s when this was filmed it was even worse
@@j_c2225 They were stealing cars, joy-riding them around the area, then setting them alight. The Police managed to put a stop to it by lying in wait and quickly arresting them as soon as it happened.

Maybe that was part of the reason they decided to demolish the estate in the end.
