Compared to what actually happened?
not sure if anyone has seen this site http://www.bernardomahoney.com but the newspaper articles seem to tell the same story as the film, so do you think what the film and newspapers said is the real story?

shareThe film is fairly close to the actual events of the Rettendon murder. There's small differences like Pat Tate did not use a pizza cutter but banged the pizza guy's head repeatedly against the counter. The fact that the pizza guy did not press charges indirectly led to Pat's murder - if he had then Pat would have immediately been sent back to prison, as he was on parole, and he would have been in jail the night he was murdered
Also the murder scene was not filmed at the real site as it was deemed not "movie" enough.
Bernard does not believe Whomes and Steele committed the murders whereas the newspapers all follow the establishment/Crown's view that they did.
read the book essex boys way better than this and bonded by blood
A lot of the events in this film were vasty different to the real thing.
Carlton Leach's involvement in all of the events was extremely minor compared to the film, the whole Turkish subplot is pure fiction.
Craig Rolfe is portrayed as a snivelling and cowardly sidekick, when in reality he was just as fearsome as Tate and Tucker and certainly not some little pussey.
The welsh guy who gets abused by the trio (forgot his name in the film) is actually based on a cockney guy called Nipper Ellis, who was a friend of Tate's in prison.
They completely omit the entire Raquels/Leah Betts story from the film and cut characters such as Bernard O'Mahoney, John Whomes etc. Which is quite shocking really seen as without it there's no real story.
Men are guilty of all the good they do not do.
you really believe everything o mahoney says? Bernards only got one or two pics of himself with tucker and tate. theres loads of leach with tony tucker. still doesnt prove carlton was involved with him is well
imn not saying yer wrong on most of them points like but BOM likes to say CL had nothing to do with that scene like. i think both are half lying telling truth
bernie for years was campaigning to release steel and the wholmes, then in 2010 allows his bonded by blood film to potray them as guilty
