When you have nothing, but each other. Who can you blame? Always look up. It comes from some body. People of wealth and authority always share the pain of failure, but keep the abundance of victory.
Still watching seeing the elderly at the illegal market the lady made 4 pounds by standing there all day & that was Sunday's dinner mt heart was heavy i bet she was a hard working we soul in her day she was old then she will be long gone now still dont make it any more sad rip ma hen x
Are you actually joking with this comment ? This is not some 19th Century colourised Pathe News footage , this is recent history in my eyes as a 56 year old exiled Paisley guy .
Shithole but ay , let’s face its a fckn shithole with issues it refuses tae face , ah’d like tae jist remind awbody that Scotland’s catholic’s make up 16% of the general population, however nearly 30% of Scotland’s prison population is made up of Catholics in addition surveys huv repeatedly shown that hate crimes perpetrated in Scotland are done so against Catholics more than all other demographics added together, but it’s jist ah family day oot but ay, the problem is we huv lived wi this shite fur so fckn long we huv told ourselves it’s normal , it fckn ain’t normal, fck all normal aboot it , it’s ah city and ah country with ah long long history of abusing ah certain demographic of its population, ah some fckn trouble maker making shit up aw this is common knowledge , some clown gave the orange bosh the keys tae the kingdom centuries ago n they huv been fckn it up ever since
yes, it is quite a spectacle. I don't mean that in a judgemental way. Although on seeing the lady singing in the pub at lunchtime, I think 'that should be your mother, daughter, me in a different incarnation... someone like us. My dad took me to the east end of London when I was 4 years of age. It was much like what you may have witnessed if you've watched this video , perhaps a few years prior. It had a profound effect upon me. I found the people direct and not hidden or Reserved. Most of the people in this video though are far from defeated and have much nuanced irony and humour. That is quite evident. Material poverty is one thing, having hope is more important in my opinion. Thankyou Alex
Are you actually joking man ? A city more divided and consumed by poverty I can`t find a metaphor . Glad I moved across Hadrian`s Wall in 1985 never to reside again .
@@gordoncampbell100 depends were your vision visited.Plenty places in Manchester Liverpool Birmingham and other places just as bad.My vision was from Possilpark.
Things were pretty grim in the late 1970s the city had been bulldozed unemployment was high in saying that people didn't have much but their was good community spirit Glasgow is still repairing the damage done to the city 50 years later its still sad we have pockets of poverty through out the city glaswegians have been through a lot but have always been the salt of the earth
What a really interesting video. My problem is that this was one walk of life from Glasgow. To categorise this as all of Glasgow life is a stereotype that people love to buy and sell and interesting as this video is, I wish people would move away from it. New York stopped doing this around the 1970s and that’s why it’s seen as must visit destination today.
@@alexglass It’s a history of a certain walk of life in Glasgow at that time. My beef is not with you it’s with the commentary in that documentary. Glasgow, even then, had a spectrum of lifestyles and people living there. This commentator kept speaking as though this was all Glasgow. I did enjoy watching it.
@@barbara1904 this was one of four programmes produced on different aspects of life mainly in the east end of Glasgow. Sometimes when narrators don’t know the wide areas covered they can give the general impression by making references which include everyone. 👍
@@alexglass Thanks Alex. If I'd thought about it I should have realised it'll say at the end who the reporter is! I'm only half way through this one. I came across it by accident, and am really enjoying it. (born in Glasgow in 1971).
what a long walk the Glasgow july parade was went over a few years in the late 80s with the band stayed in a place called thornliebank was told to watch out for the bags of pish getting through out the top of the buildings must have stopped walking that area i never seen anything like that but under the bridge epic to say the least we got best overseas band one year Regards from ulster folks keep the faith in these uncertain times
