tam mcgraw dead

[cliffard]

this ones more for jinky and the other scots heads on the board, were you aware that tam mcgraw died of a heart attack. also his nickname 'the licensee', whats your take on it, is it cause he was in the pub game or because he had a licence to operate from strathclyde police....

[Jinky08]

Yeah he died last year, And the name comes from the second one you mentioned

[cliffard]

old news then, i only saw it about a week ago. how long did people know he was a full on grass for, and how did he get away with it for so long? i was reading about this on paul ferris website..

[Jinky08]

People in the underworld probally knew for a long long time, but the person to say it publicly i think was Ferris.

[cliffard]

fuckin heavyweight heroin dealer,among other things,amazing what the OB let you get away with for a few quid,they dont give a fuck as long as the rich cunts that vote for law and order aint bothered,fuck the lot of em....

God made arseholes big and small, Strathclyde polis employed them all.

[cliffard]

sorry mate, got to disagree, ALL the arseholes? no that cant be right because west midlands police, avon and somerset and of course the met have got a fair old few just in my experience

[dinky]

Tam Bagan named him as a grass at their hash smuggling trial in 98.

[Jinky08]

Aw was it, never knew that

[dinky]

Aye the name had been circulating for a while,but Bagan was the first to name him as Mcgraw.Then Ferris brought his book out and the wider public found out who the licensee was.

Think i'll need to check a few books out about glasgow crime, never read any.
