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 burglar and Ludovic Kennedy behaving like Paul Whitehouse's Rowley Birkin. Great stuff.

  • I think the key point that they make here at the end of the documentary is that because of the failed attempt to get Boothby and link him to the Krays, then the police and press felt that the Krays were protected by people in power. With the press and police somewhat neutered then the Krays were able to continue their crime and mayhem deeper into the 1960's.

  • Gay Kray

  • If homosexuality was punishable by death we'd have no government, no media, no bankers!! That would be so awesome!

  • RIP-Leslie

  • The Krays were KEPT in prison for 30 years for knowing about the pecadillo's and 'tastes' of the ruling elite.

    NODODY cares that the Krays killed people-i bet they had very incriminating evidence on all of the parties involved in their circle!

    Governement ministers,judges,actors,clergy­men-the ENTIRE establishment had EVERY reason to keep them in jail.

    The parties at Cedra court were of the most shocking and depraved kind-scat,scat and more scat!

    (need i go into more detail?LOL)

  • It's amazing how messed up people's private lives are! Especially the lives of those who don't have to worry about things like the gas bill.

  • I find the labor twist interesting too.

    respect

  • this has little to do with The Krays in that sense, and more to do with Ronnie and Boothby. So why is it called Krays: Lords of the underworld ?

  • bloody Nora, if I lived on the eastend during the sixties, I would without a doubt pull Leslie.
