My family is very proud to say that my Grandad had a coffee table nailed to his head by Bert Rossi., and he carried on wearing it with pride until the day he died. Even then it was only removed because it wouldn't fit in the coffin. Great days, never to return.

My grandfather was Antonio babe Mancini associate of the Sabini family who took care of all their interest when they were interned during WW2. My grandfather was found guilty of murdering Harry Distleman in May 1941. It was a injustice it was self defence, he was Albert Pierrepoint first hanging. My mother informed me a year before she died aged 89. My middle name is Anthony! I asked her often who I was named after. Her mother was a prostitute who picked up clients at the racecourses in the midlands in the 1930,s. My mother was only informed when my father ask to marry her, she was 18yrs. My mother was raised in an orphanage in Kent. I have no proof except what my mother informed me of. My father was informed before he married her, his family objected to the marriage and it explained why I never saw my fathers family. It filled in many unexplained events in my life and all made sense when my mother told me! Both my parents gave me and my brother a happy healthy childhood growing up in the Eastend at E2. Its a family mystery I will never solve. My son did a DA test which showed he had a lot of southern Italian genes. I'd welcome any help in solving this strange even in my life. I've know for 4 yrs!

Your grandfather's execution was Albert Pierrepoint's first one as a "number one" (chief executioner). He was assisted by Steve Wade. Previously he'd been an assistant executioner for his uncle Tom Pierrepoint.

Luckily our drugs and prostitution has been subcontracted to our overseas associates from Albania , Somalia , Nigeria , Romania, not to mention Greek/Turkish Cypriots. Times have changed our country has become a haven for economic migrants where pickings are rich both in terms of criminality and Universal credit handouts. Control was finally completely lost in the early years of Blair and his human rights sidekick Cherrie.

I have always wondered why, after reading a lot about this subject and social history generally, the British people have been the victims (not just the perpetrators) of serious criminality within their own country. Does this happen to natives residing in other countries, I wonder? England has slid so far that I cannot see it ever been cleared of the negative criminal elements that now control the streets. By evidence of this documentary, it is not a new phenomenon.
