"Not choirboys"

Ross Kemp went to El Salvador to investigate the Mara Salvatrucha, MS-13. He describes El the country as the "most dangerous" in Central America, though I do believe that statistically-speaking, Guatemala still deserves that particular accolade.

It was very brave of him to go into that MS-13 prison where, it was said, someone had thoughtfully provided the misunderstood homies with the severed head of a rival gang member to play football with!

The programme suggests that the big boys are allowing the indigent clicas to soak up the blame for the cocaine traffic through El Salvador. "In other words," suggests Kemp, "the biggest gang in the country is the government".

"After the revolution..." Which one was that Ross?
