Most Somalis in the UK dont drive or can even afford a car if they wanted to get one. Those videos don't mean anything. A Somali family might have a 2 door hatchback Peugeot at the most.

tell me about it, the dedication and motivation and wonder they have, so many questions, but I can't help but feel if they were brought to the west vast majority would fall into the same trap

Mothers are carrying 5 grocery bags on double decker buses while their sons are chewing and not helping them. I think you people need to get off the benefits and get a job so you can lead normal lives

In the run-up to the murder, a Somalian crime network with London connections was operating in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Huseen and Ali were involved in large-scale drug dealing with Mohamud, a close associate. There were claims Huseen and Ali earned £15,000 a week and downed £100 bottles of vodka and cognac in nightclubs.

DETECTIVES have revealed how Somali drug gangs “work shifts” in Southend in order to sell up to £1million of class A drugs a year.Officers also said gang-members, from London, carefully manage and split their work in the town.They separate their drug-dealing dens, where they sell heroin and crack cocaine, from their “flop houses” where dedicated “shift workers” get their rest.It is a fascinating, and disturbing insight, into the workings of the group who are preying on the vulnerable within Southend’s community.However, police insist they are closing in on the gang – seizing 80 wraps of suspected class A drugs and £2,500 cash since June.They have also made at least six arrests and built up a picture of their practises. Det Sgt Richard Burgess, of Southend Target Offender Team, said: “We established the Somali men were working 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in two shifts.“The drug packages were coming in from London and desposited by unknown individuals in an alleyway or a bush, at random locations and then a phone call would go in and the operatives would go down there and recover the drugs.”A team of “shift workers” will then find a base from where they work in filthy conditions, selling the drugs to local addicts.When their shift is over, they take a taxi to a “flop house” where they swap over with another dealer.Police believe about £2,500 could be made in a 24-hour period, by selling wraps at £10 each. This equates to £910,000 a year tax free.However, they believe the people working these shifts in Southend are only “middle tier street dealers” who come down from London. The profits go back to the gang masters.Southend police also believe the network has close links with the younger generation “GPD” or Get Paid Daily Gang, connected to a string of violent robberies across Southend where young men have been attacked for their mobile phones, as revealed in the Echo Det Sgt Burgess said: “In relation to the Somali males, they have been associated with young male runners, and there may have been links to the GPD.”He also explained how the violence which surrounds their operations is two-fold.Firstly, they will attack rival drug dealers, so they can preserve their interests. Secondly, lower-level members of the gang will be assaulted as a matter of discipline. This is because the gang-system is intensely hierarchical.However, Det Sgt Burgess was keen to stress that people outside of this Somali gang life-style should be safe from these violent attacks.He said: “The law-abiding public have nothing to fear in going about their lawful business
