Old ladies mugged in their homes, shootings & fingers chopped-off all over the shop & they're asking if we think anti-social behavior is a problem? I would have hoped PCSO McLeod might've figured that one out on their own.
McLeod - where have I heard that name before?
So it goes.Quote:
The inquest was told that the two men had been recruited to carry out the hit by Moss Side gangster Ian McLeod
