Have you ever wanted to experience what life was like for a gangster during London's Victorian era of the 1850s and 1860s? This video covers your life from birth in Ireland to immigration to Whitechapel, one of the crime infested and poor parts of London's darker and seedier underbelly.

Here is the full version. Hope you enjoy! As always characters are a mix of fiction and fact. Fiction for the main character and some supporting characters...fact for events like the Baum and Sons Heist...which to this day...remains unresolved. How many easter eggs did you spot?! Let me know below :) Cheers all. LIKE AND COMMENT IF YOU CAN IT HELPS THE ALGORITHM AND ME!! :)

This hits so close to home. My great-grandfather and great-grandfather went through this famine. They left for Wales and then my "clan" dispersed throughout the world. From America, Canada, Australia and even to South Africa (where I reside now). Anywhere but England. The stories my grandparents told me, which stuck in my mind up and until today, are horrible. Makes me grateful for what I have.

The potato “famine” was half famine half genocide of the Irish. The British willing gave food to the Protestant Irish but if you were a Catholic you starved. The Irish who converted to get food were often referred to as “Soup takers”.

It’s a testament to parental and mother love that babies survived at all. Logically, these women had NOTHING to give their babies, but found the energy to feed & clothe them. Astounding. The sensible thing to do would have been to let them “quietly fade away”, but no, they fiercely protected them. We are the descendants of these people. The survivors. Interesting.

In regards to the first 5 seconds of the video. We would have had enough food but the British took and exported all to other foods such as meats. We had enough food in cork to feed the whole country but it was stored in the port to be exported under guard. Of course the blight did hurt the potatoes but they were not the only food on the island. It was a man made genocide of my people that nobody has ever felt bad for doing to us.

A weapon NOT designed not for responsible harvesting and respectful giving thanks to god while preparing all which has been harvested too after another meeting in a booth on how best to proceed with the harvest. Gangsters will never approve of any booth no matter how small unless it is theirs to re-name in their own language.

couldn't the irish have found backup food supply? what didbthey eat beforebl potatoes were brought over?
@YoreHistory
@YoreHistory 9 месяцев назад
It's a great question and while i didn't really go into the reasons they were as follows: Ireland at the time was ruled as a colony by Great Britain. Land was owned by the British. Irish tenant farmers could not own land. THe British had a huge percentage of their farms designated for potato. The first year of the famine the blight destroyed half that crop. So without other food sources or ability to grow other crops (they didn't own the land) they starved. Was actually horrible. This is why there are so many Irish in countries like America/Canada etc.
@khallkhall7237
@khallkhall7237 Месяц назад
Actually there was plenty of food grown in Ireland during the potato famine. However it was worth more money in England than it was in Ireland. So the people who owned it, the upper classes, shipped it there. The food crops that failed were mostly the tenant-farmers potatoes. Which means they had no food and no cash. But that didn't matter because if they'd had cash all the other food had pretty much been shipped to England already. Thousands of people starved because there was more profit in selling the product somewhere else. It was an entirely manufactured famine. The same thing happened in India a few years later and then again during WWI. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened in WWII too. But I know less about that era.
@columbannon9134
@columbannon9134 29 дней назад

During WW2 Many italian were interned which allowed Jack Spot and Billy Hill To become the major players in London crime. The two later fel out but people like the Kray twins and Frankie Fraser served their apprenticeship with them and went on to become the main men of their era

The hazardous crossing?😂 it's the Irish sea ffs not the Atlantic ocean it's around a hundred miles Sure life was hard for the poor As it always is for the poor everywhere. I grew up in Whitechapel just after WW1 life was hard then but no ever said it would be easy.The elephant gang were much later they were a gang of female shoplifters who later became known as the forty thieves. They were still operating when I was growing up they were mainly from the Elephant and castle and Lambeth walk where we moved to in about 1955

For a moment I thought you said you grew up just after WW1...was going to congratulate you for reaching 100+ :D I had to take a few fictional liberties but tried to be as historically accurate as I could. Some of the gangs were very long lived.

Funny how you use the name of British comedians and comedian roles😅😅 as your characters totally fictional entertaining

So this is fiction, apart from the gangs? I noticed because you have the names of so many British comedians prominent in the last century as the crooks: Ronnie Corbett, Ronnie Barker, Basil "Faultless" [John Cleese], etc. Still an enthralling story!

Yes, setting, robbery, socio-economics, chronological big events are all historically accurate. Main character and supporting based on those from that era but historical fiction is how I label it. More accurately 2nd person historical fiction. Thanks for watching?

@@YoreHistory Yes, very enjoyable! I just had a "wait a minute ..." moment when you started mentioning British comedians of my era. Very nicely done, hats off to you!

@@OLDCHEMIST1 Apologies. I grew up with those comedians as well so was just me playing a bit of homage. Most haven't noticed but a few keen ears like yourself have lol :)

@@YoreHistory Absolutely no reason to apologise! I agree they are well worth an homage or two, " Fawlty Towers" , The "Fork Handles/Four Candles" sketch. I am paid, although in a relatively lowly job, to be observant, so nothing special, really! Thanks once again for your work, much appreciated!
