After seeing Guro onto his flight back home at Heathrow, I got myself some breakfast and Bombay Sapphire in the Three Bells. As I ate, I idly wondered how Screwdriver Smith’s getting on in prison. He’s currently serving a 35-year sentence for a string of killings, apparently committed with some kind of short bladed weapon.
Being the social media-savvy chap I am, I looked him up. I don’t know if Screws has Internet access in Belmarsh, but he’ll be happy to know his business empire is doing great! I found one of his employees, Manish, on Twitter:
I haven’t seen Manish or heard anything from him in ages, so I’m glad to see he’s alright! I was worried about him, after Screws had him roughed up for making a mistake and not ordering enough CS gas and stun guns for him. Well, judging by his Twitter bio, his English has clearly improved a lot in the few months since then, so hopefully it won’t happen again.
And Screws must have promoted him pretty fast, he certainly didn’t smoke cigars when I last saw him. 🤑
Good for him!
😊
I absolutely love that hashtag too: #NotYourRescueProject! What a great rallying cry for our industry!
People often criticise me for being privileged and unrepresentative of the violence industry overall, but Manish is a person of colour and used to operate at a much lower rank than me (he was Screws’s bagman, last I heard), and his Twitter says he loves his job.
So I’m very happy to be able to use him as an example to shut down criticism! ^_^ As he requested in his bio, I’ll leave him alone and not bother checking up on him. I’m such a good ally to him.
