I've heard/seen half of those words, they are used by a lot of young people. Slang has been used by young people for a long time and this is no different, many got nothing to do with gang code. Most of the time it's a misguided attempt to sound cool
Feds = Police that's just an American Words like bait, bare, washed and certy are a part of the lexicon in London. Someone "bagged" doing a "stretch" in prison, nothing new. (edited)
This is how language develops like you said jamie nothing to see
Gangs, as well as other sub par groups, like to think they are fooling the law, or making themselves stand apart from normal folk, with the invention and usage of their own language, but it is soon translated, whether they be Cockney, back-patch groups, caravan dwelling tarmac layers, or other "independent" groups. It is even more irritating when the idiots use terms like "the Feds" when referring to the Police. An imported term that shows those involved don't even have the intelligence to make their own way, but need to copy the language of american gangs.

"What is going on?"
Raasclart
"Arsecloth"
How does "gwop" relate to "money"? It reminds me of the game "qwop".
I just read this as how to talk like a mo Ron . Always makes me laugh how people end up talking like bruv/ting/fam it's totally embarrassing

Unfortunately low level crime leading to more serious offences is something you see regularly in most cities and the funding to break the cycle of offending or to seriously punish, those that do, just isn't in place The Birmingham mail does just tend to recycle news from other areas or from other sources and adlib over the top Not to say it's not a growing problem, slang terminology has always been around is it just we are more used to hearing it through music/films/TV series
More scaremongering

Id like to gather up all these home grown ‘gang members’ and then fly them to Mexico, or Columbia, or Ecuador, or El Salvador and give them a knife and say go on then, be a gang member for the day.
I guarantee they’ll be back on the plane begging to go home and back to school or join the forces before you could down a tequila.
Immature little scroat bags the lot of them that think they are sticking it to the man!
There was one of them "Police Interceptors" where some chav on a motorbike was mouthing off acting tough, revving bike, then an off duty copper rammed him off the bike with his car and pinned him to the the tarmac with his knee behind back.
The charver was practically crying like a baby n apologising.
Have some heat bro.
