If you haven't yet watched Peaky Blinders; turn ye back for here be spoilers.
This week we were introduced to the Billy Boys, a heavily-armed, Fascist Glasgow gang with close ties to the UVF. They will be the enemy of The Shelbys and by extention the enemies of all fans of The Peaky Blinders. Such opportune timing that they would be introduced to a worldwide audience on this of all weeks and how interesting will be the results of google searches for 'The Billy Boys' by those many fans around the world. The can of worms has been opened and there is no wriggle room.
It should prove to be an interesting story as Tommy has had dealings with the IRA and killed members of both the IRA and UVF in the past. I think it was last season where they sent people to safety in Glasgow where the Peakys had links to 'Catholic gangs'. Peaky Blinders has always had an undercurrent of social and historical commentary and it seems the bigoted bedfellows loyalism and fascism are in the cross hairs this time.
It will be interesting to see how closely art imitates life in this case as we watch the impending doom of The Billy Boys.
