That being his attitude, you have to ask this: what’s more important to Tommy Shelby, personal vengeance or acquisition and expansion? Tommy’s mortal enemy Luca Changretta is a connected US bootlegger whose customers, as Luca tells Alfie Solomons this week, want gin. War is a profitable business, and one from which Tommy, having already paid its dreadful price in France, now means to profit. Trust him to cast his eye over the incipient threat of socialist revolution and end up not with his back against the wall but with a two-million-pound supply contract to the British army. Whatever mess in which he finds himself-whether it’s accidentally stealing a crate of Lewis machine guns or being coerced into doing business with Russian aristocrats-he’s able to turn it to his advantage.
