Sitting under a sun umbrella in the beer garden of The Blind Beggar, the East End pub where Ronnie Kray shot George Cornell, “Mad” Frankie Fraser was putting a group of tourists straight on what led to the murder.
“He didn’t call him a big fat poof,” insisted the notorious gangster, referring to the notorious comment allegedly made by Cornell. The pair had words, said Fraser, but “poof” wasn’t one of them. “George wasn’t the sort of man to speak like that,” he said.The Blind Beggar is one of the stops on Fraser’s East End Gangland Tour, set up in response to the enormous interest the Krays and their peers still generate. “I’m happy Reggie’s been released but it should have been 20 years ago,” said Fraser, 77, who heard from his ailing friend over the weekend “Everyone in the East End loved the Krays. No woman got mugged, and no children were tampered with.”It was a view, undoubtedly romanticised, shared by many drinkers.

Doll Frost, 72, who was tucking into Sunday lunch with her friends, said the area regarded the twins as heroes “You were safer on the street. I’m very pleased Reggie’s got out, but it should have happened a long time ago,” said Ms Frost, who met the Krays at one of their clubs.Her friend, who remembered dancing with Jack “The Hat” McVitie – later murdered by Reggie – agreed “He should have been released way back He’s done his time. I’ve never known anyone talk badly of them.”Jeff Bailey, 39, who works in the building trade, had come to the pub in the hope of meeting Fraser. “It was unjust keeping Reggie in that long when there are paedophiles and rapists getting away with it The Krays and Frankie only ever harmed their own It’s wrong to be inside that long.

I admire that fact that they had the gall to find money the way they did. They only took money from people who could afford to loose it.”. The gold hoard of Clive of India, lost in a shipwreck off South Africa in 1755, has finally come to the surface and will be sold in London next month. The gold hoard of Clive of India, lost in a shipwreck off South Africa in 1755, has finally come to the surface and will be sold in London next month.
The hoard of 830 coins, worth about £3,000 at the time, is expected to fetch about £350,000 when it is auctioned at Spink on 28 September. The treasure was found by two scuba divers, but its discovery resulted a legal challenge in South Africa in 1997.Mark Rasmussen, one of Spink’s coin specialists, said yesterday: “The divers didn’t want to reveal the exact site of the discovery because it was in international waters and would compromise further research in the area. But South Africa claimed strongly that the treasure was stolen from Bird Island, which is inside their territorial waters off Port Elizabeth.”The dispute ended in an out-of-court settlement.
