‘The security agencies of the West have more to fear from penetration by serious criminal interests than the agents of foreign governments’ 

– Prof Glyn Owen

‘The clever thing is that everyone stays schtum. Those who know what’s going on are too scared to speak; those who don’t know don’t want to know. It is too terrible for the authorities to contemplate so they won’t discuss it. The general public doesn’t want to know. The chattering classes don’t like to chatter about it – bit of a downer at a dinner party – and they’re happy to leave it to the politicians they claim to despise. The politicians think it should be left to the police because it’s a vermin control problem, but they certainly don’t want to be told that Vermin Control is controlled by vermin. So we have the converse of moral panic: a state of collective wilful denial.’

‘Then comes the band of the Royal Marines,
One ukele and two tambourines’ 

Frank Crane was an admirer of the various versions of the Italian mafias, but it was the children of the East who drew his greatest approbation for their willingness to go to charnel-house extremes. True, Albion had its own serious nasties, but nothing in the Eastern European league. Like Polish plumbers or Italian lovers, they just seemed to be better at the job.

Central London had long lain beyond the reach of Middle England, so Clay lived south of the river in Wandsworth in a stylishly ugly late-Victorian terraced house. In the hallway: obligatory shrine to pastoral roots consisting of large log basket sprouting golf clubs, cricket bat, walking sticks on which perched rural headgear all proclaiming, ‘Though we may dwell on the edge of this dank urban park, our hearts lie far away in an England of weald and wold where the lark is forever ascending’.
