What do you want to be when he got man? I see this bike. Are you in a gang or something? You know what sir? Did he say a porn star a corn star? Big big killer boys man. Yeah, but you should you should try hard in school man You got kicked out Move that side What what do you think that is the police Fucking all that Sorry, did it do the police bother you a lot like Oh, you know I bet this is a common thing in Scotland just bonfires everywhere. I don't even know why I'm muted it That was my bed the whole Do you like do you like to carry anything on a Good bro, yeah Well, I'm gonna go off that's good for you man. Never let nobody get behind you Yeah, no, no, not a y'all might not have peaked this but this is politics one-on-one Well, we asked him a question He felt it you're probably feel energy behind them. He was like No, sir, what's up buddy? Good bro, yeah Well, I'm gonna go off. I don't I don't want to fucking do it if the police won't say the kids Just throw a gas bottle joke man What's going on there me? I just walking through the scene of fucking big fire me. Yeah, what's going on? Yeah, fuck please man. Do I don't wear a mask and stuff me by the club is scary, bro They're scary man Sad about the whole situation is like I understand it they're from this poverty-stricken area They actually haven't got anything and they were starting to see me as a target like the wanted the the wanted the stuff off me But you don't need to attempt to rob someone Like there's better things to do I was born into a guy up out of there It's even saying that intuition kicked in And they slowly get to start surrounding you like a poverty-stricken area and I'll try to make these videos Like it doesn't give you an excuse to just just try and add badness to the world So if you lads that just try to rob me are watching this shame on you man The media have painted a grim picture of life in this town So I'm here today to see if they're full of crap or not What is this area like to live in? Not bad. Nice airshares, nice countryside, little villages. Oh, okay. Do you think it's like a dangerous place? Oh, they're all dangerous It's a violent world. Okay. What's there? What's the biggest problem of this town? Not enough work not enough work. So if you could improve it yeah, not enough work There's always gonna be the key to I mean there's there's always gonna be a strong point of not enough work Where there's a lot of crime around but at the end of the day as a man and It's a anything I can honestly you want to feed yourself and your family Do more for the youngs instead of letting them run loose Youngs are need more to do. So the young is a bit crazy here. Yes Need more to do There's no mind in this all we're all fathers that learnt them now. There's no kid. They let them run loose Okay, so you put them back down the mines I personally couldn't live without the luxuries of modern life But some things in the past were actually better when my grandparents were growing up industry in the UK was thriving Without it now towns like this that left a rot The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something A little well put together a little documentary type joint. I like this. It's not just a tour. It's not just a it's not just a It's not just a walkthrough. There's like It's like the history of it. Like I like it. I like what's going on here This is my first day doing this. I saw the ladies doing this last week and thought well done and then I spoke to them and joined the WhatsApp group and When you look at areas like this that are covered in litter, it just makes you feel really down So if we're trying to get more and more people involved to do things like this hopefully Reinstall a bit of pride in and where you live. I don't know what's went wrong I think it should have other people like to do it instead of 74 year old person What would you say like the biggest problem that this community faces? I think probably deprivation maybe People are probably struggling on low incomes And it's very difficult to think about other things when you're surviving and you're just managing to put food on Man see see the money is always the root You know I'm saying like they say money is the root of all evil, but like That's not the full story of it. Oh, you know I'm saying in the world We live in money is the necessity and when you don't have enough to do your miss essential stuff Things get a little spooky It's So I think yeah, it's hard to think about litter when you're actually You've not get that security of just food and heating So if everybody just does a wee bit to help then everybody's gonna feel better And maybe create a bit of a sense of a community, but that's a long way That's a long way off Grasses green out there, okay? What is it like to live in this area? It can be quiet, but as I said there's no show ups They've shot me to the tune center dinner everybody's getting that hard way or the raises the prices and everything Because even the food shops and everything even they're saying obviously their prices have shot up So it's a lot of them shut down on other now. Oh, it's really left here. There's drug users basically Nice to miss D. Lish food is crazy So it's a lot of them shut down on other now. That's a crazy name D. Lish food. It's really left here as drug users basically Nice to miss What's like the worst thing you've seen happen around here miss? We're in here Well, I've got a big slice on my own myself Boys, there's quite a few boys certain carry like miss blades by them all the time They do some care anymore. They gave up As I said the police don't go chasing them that much anymore because they don't they like random stopping searches up here They've gave up with it. So no, it's just Obviously just need to watch the back at every angle. It's naked. It's no good. Obviously you like to chill That was a miss shitty that was just passing through the underpass got short leads for a bunch of boys Because I was like a wee skater when I was kind of a couple of year ago man That's all the yank me up because I was wearing skinnies to start it slagging me and that sort of thing goes What was that you said? You just the shit you can try to sweep and got me right the man. I ended up with 34 statues across my right arm One and four but I am One and four people and kill wait kill them mark knock Wait, what and kill more knock live in deprived neighborhood one and five children and live in poverty 1339 people died of drug misuse in Scotland last year So you just told me a little fact about that the drug dealers around here, man. What was that? That's a new one to me That's a crazy digital mark that you're leaving on the world You know what I'm saying when you trying to be under the radar and you out here accepting credit cards is insane It is we've called readers My visit to come on it was wrapped up by witnessing a man threatening to kill David But other than that people have come on it were genuinely quite friendly the following day some friends had made Aiden and Craig had agreed to show me around one of the most rundown estates in the country So I was in come on it and there was like 40 like 14 to 18 year olds having like a fucking party under a bridge Bridge up here is where me and all my school pals used to go and get absolutely mad with it Yeah, every single day the week we used to just go up there sit underneath a bridge and get drunk Yeah, it was the worst and what has become of your life since then sir place, but it was so fun So I went there and I was filming them having this fire And then like the fire service come like all fucking like Spraying the holes isn't that and then I kind of got like a little bad feeling, you know like I got feeling Yeah, I got feeling and The lads that was just lurking around then just had like masks on, you know, like Balaclava's and And one guy kept like going going behind me like standing behind me And I kept I kept like stepping back and I said to him like oh, you're right What's going on and then he you know he'd walk off Never let nobody stand behind you. That's like unless that's your blood brother. It's the only person that can stand behind me freely I don't trust that type of energy or security guard Often and stuff and I was like, I've got to get out of here Those dodgy so when the fire engine turns up I use it as a cue to get out like and I start walking quickly and then the fucking start throwing gas bottles at me man Yeah, yeah, start throwing gas bottles at me. So I'm like if I'd have stayed there any longer that probably would have Rob me man. I'd see see the schemes in Edinburgh. Yeah, a lot worse now Screen the Scottish console is like large go watch. Okay. So if you're wanting to actually experience like stone ed culture Yeah, bounce to Edinburgh kids. You will experience it Non-educated delinquent basically a Scottish Vando slash hooligan different accents similar clothing and same attitude This is W. Edding editing It's all I heard Ned like if it's almost a non-educated delinquent Yeah, but like is it more like deep than that likes like gank culture or something low key But like not really it's like you you see someone non-educated delinquent issue. We're not gonna address What is what is going on behind us right here? What is all of it? This is normal This is normal housing This is where are we? Where do we just teleport somewhere else? Oh, what is going on? Just the people that I hang Scotland is really like this I'm about doing any social sort of stuff right and Not all of them are non-educated right enough, right? It's just the word that's been used isn't it? Okay, I don't even know this is not even like the subject of the video right now This just boarded up houses like what does like this trash everywhere? Um, it's more just like just your troublemakers and bombs on it young teams. I now I will say the hedges are well kept Whoever comes around and does the maintenance on the bushes is they did a thing but you know I'm saying nice bushes What about this up here? Somebody come put a window in here young teams Young teams groups from a different air wait, okay, hold on. It's not L reading hold on groups from a different areas Groups from a different Groups from different areas who engage in everything from casual violence or intimidation to open street warfare warfare Casual violence is insane I ain't even there. I've never heard these two words next to each other casual and violence. That's tough It's sad though to think like you know the The lack of housing as well and these could be put to use but yeah, man, like especially for people at me as well I've been looking for a house for months at this point like eight nine months. I've been on the waiting list Yeah, nothing get her back, but if these So we're in a housing estate right now I got one of these like that Like just closed down Oh, yeah, mate, how long does this go on for there's more rolls down the bro. Just say If these were open and running he would have a room like that in a second on their mashers This is great cinematography What is that a million woman like Flashlight not gonna even lie. This is giving me real Caprini green vibes right now Like this is what it kind of remind me of right now a bunch of abandoned Slightly occupied for old project buildings mostly torn down the bigger ones, but It's a bus got the nerve to be going through this This is insane man. You spent the night How many houses do you let's think there's this round a like what abandoned or an old abandoned like Hmm 80 odd houses This is like Chernobyl like isn't that it's like an abandoned this is whole abandoned neighborhood like what is going on? What's this zombie apocalypse and everybody just left or something like what is what is it like somebody? Why are they not fixing these up like at least to the bare minimum? Those and downstairs cuz Oh, so they used to be like flats That's the closest anybody stays that was over there. Oh, it's like it is genuinely right next to houses So do you do people like avoid walking through this like a stay at night or we're not anymore Yeah, if people like see the people that stand for you This is the hardest hood in the UK that I've seen ever like this is the hood. This is it Imagine these with people in them. Boom. There you go. There's an American hood for you At least they took people out of these months. This is crazy mattresses in the yard These bring back memories. This is how I learned to do backflips and stuff mattress in the backyard Probably not cuz like we're used to it. Yeah, but if you're coming through like from my moods I don't imagine anyone would even want to touch it. Well, how much Need to start selling these off. How much? Cuz all the schemes don't get along either so it's like said like a call-of-duty map This dude look like a call-of-duty map Like you just dropping in right here land on a roof go look with some weapons and things of that nature See people from Lombard wouldn't Like get along with people for Fige people for Fige wouldn't get along with people for Johnston Shortridge as well. Yeah, so it's all the different schemes have their own young team And that's like all the different schemes these neds fight each other. Yeah, so so like it's similar to like English It's like demand them So I went to I went to like possible If they were to start selling these houses off for a dollar like a pound would you have to be a resident? I Surely get like $20 go buy 20 of them Try to give me a little loan to come fix them up and like, you know I Know it's like there's a there's a vigil like a vigil I you know for like a young lad and all I just wondered if he'd been involved in any stuff like that It's a really bad thing with teenagers especially I'm up the generation of Scotland. It's really really good Scotland is ghetto Bad thing with teenagers especially I'm not gonna lie. This is very shocking. I didn't know none of this was happening It's not the generation young I'm just wondering if he'd been involved in any stuff like that even these buildings is shocking to me to see this like It's a really bad thing with teenagers especially I'm up the generation young girl and I was if started picking up a wee bit more Yeah, but it's just because they are trying to be like neds Compared to Where it used to be I'm low-key man like this neighborhood like I would try to buy the entire thing and just call it the lit neighborhood The lit hood Lit neighborhood slum Before us. Yeah, where as they actually all fucking hated each other's guts I had no reason to hate each other's They stayed all places And paisley it was postcodes as well To paisley and Glasgow. Yes, instead the other schemes it's all the different postcodes will fight each other just because Where I'm from that's what it is as well. Yeah, it's postcode The ice cream walls that was a thing in the 80s and 90s ice cream walls. Yeah, it was about the ice cream vans Ice cream vans were drug dealing behind The gang's own I remember the ice cream warms. We did a wars. We did a document. We did the documentary on it Ice cream vans and so they're like gangsters Would you say panning? All our ice cream vans My uncle used to do an ice cream van Fucking my dad was covering for him one day and as he was going into the shaft. He was like, that's fucking bullet holes in the van I'm no dangerous Bullet holes in the ice cream van Because everyone just assumes you'd like drug dealing out of there Scotland seems like a just like a crazy spot to be I would love to see the nice part Where? Like they actually were Every one of them Maybe if you went to a scheme that wasn't the scheme your ice cream van was in Yeah There's no chance you'll make that back out Cause you're dealing on other people's topics I don't know Not anymore, right? Cause it's like 80s and 90s type shit I don't know I think that's the most interesting thing I've learnt today So like if in the 90s or early 2000s you went to an ice cream van around here You could probably score Get some snack I don't know I want a 9 to 9p smack, mate We did that in America as well They did that in America as well Cities like New York It was been doing that New York, Chicago It worked for as long as it worked for I said bye to my friends And took some time away in nature To prepare for the final visit of my trip Oh yeah, Paisley Okay that was Paisley Some time away in nature To prepare for the final visit Paisley was Descendant What's the word I'm looking for? Derelict Paisley was derelict as hell Godly God, it was about to get worse I was just trying to decode why this had these little asterisks But then I'm like ah Okay Of my trip I can't believe that this is the The same place as what you just seen earlier You know the ghost town and stuff Wow What you talking about? I'm just on the train that now Had a bit of a rough night on the push As you do in Glasgow And I'm going to my final stop of the trip A place called Port Glasgow I've heard that there's a Three apartment buildings or like High-rise towers It's just full of squatters So they're all like living illegally There's a big massive estate Tenements And it's just hundreds of tenements And they're all abandoned They'll be filled It's like a whole estate is abandoned Bro why is there so many abandoned buildings And why are there so many abandoned Estates Whole neighborhoods in Scotland Two is too many Go ahead and tear them down Do something else Why are there so many You just giving You just giving People A reason To cause trouble A bunch of people not paying rent With roofs over their head All they got to do is like Come on dad Like what do you expect Supposed to be happening over here People still live in them And there's a lot of trap houses and stuff So there's like squatters as well Yeah there's squatters There's bandos There's everything man You can just walk in as well So you could actually just go And video stuff Just be careful See if there's a door that's locked Don't unlock it Watch out feet as well Yeah yeah need dosing shit Yeah man You've been where they're going You from Scotland Talking to the chat I've been watching the video So I've just arrived at the heroin heights Which allegedly a lot of people are squatting in And honestly it looks terrifying Oh my god Jesus You know what's crazy Like North West Side in Chicago They just they did some They redid some Some of some Some projects that used to That looked like this They just redid them And they opened in some Well when I was there They were opening some of them Honestly this is sketchy man And it's a huge compound Of all these flats where people are People are Why is this still here Oh my god Like this is like movie scene type stuff They're squatting But even the shops may Even the shops abandon It's like this town This like apartment complex Has just been forgotten like Okay so I've just found a way in Man I don't really know what to do me I'm fucking shitting at me My hell nah No sir Nah What you mean you found a way in You might not never come out of there You about to teleport to the dark realm Like what is this I like if you've ever had that feeling in life Like you feel like being watched But you don't know where from I got that feeling the whole time Dave John I'll just start calling names Is it an American accent?

What are you going to do? Are you going to love me? You know I mean back in the old days You would be worried a bit Getting lefty Because you think if I get that mark I'm not going to get to where I want to get out of The type of employment I'm in When we did this Traditionally amongst the working class Education was the road out Education was the road out Of course for us You would go to night school You could have a labouring job If you could go to night school You could study And from that gain Certificates would move on We have a college down the road there It doesn't offer any night classes Neither for recreation Nor for self advancement And I do think the uni does either now I don't Do you think the uni does either?
