Krays Lords of the Underworld 1997 Channel 4 documentary Pt1

1997 documentary on the 1960's Krays/Boothby/ scandal that got away. Lord Boothby was involved with Ronnie Kray who helped him procure young boys. The scandal did not come out (even though there was a paper article) because a Labour party cabinet member (Tom Driberg) was also secretly gay. Conservatives and Labour quietly colluded to keep it all covered up. All that plus a gay cat burgler and Ludovic Kennedy behaving like Paul Whitehouse's Rowley Birkin. Great stuff.

Utter rubbish. Read the informed biography.

There was not a shred of evidence for the tabloid rag content; the newspaper owners publicly stated this at once. Those responsible for the 'smear' wewre sacked.

What we have here seems to be a Channel 4 'ism.

I wish we'd had ten Boothbys on the political scene over the past few years!

Now that you mention in it, Kennedy does a mean Rowley Birkin impression. He even looks like him. A lot. Now I can't even look at his more serious interviews with straight face.

A Tory liar, cheat, promiscuous, gambler who was sexually perverted, narcisistic, selfish opportunist who sponged off the taxpayer.

Nothing much changes eh?
