Thank you Billy for walking around the various housing "schemes" in the United Kingdom. I like it when you show the actual front yards, doors and backyards, fencing around the houses or area, the schools and the gardens and grounds around schools and schemes. I live, and am from, central Ontario, Canada. I live in a small town of around 6,700 people (I live on a river) so what you show us is very, very interesting to me. I get a feel for how the common folk live in each scheme in the wider U.K. Thank you for taking the time to show us buildings and house fronts and life.
Hiya to you over in Ontario 👍 It's brilliant to hear how far these videos are reaching .. and great to know that you get a proper feel for the way people live .
@@mol588 If nothing else I like reality. Not fake. I do care and want to know how you are doing in the U.K. I'm a U.K. "watcher" so these videos are wonderfully informative and I appreciate them.
@@gazzy9136 And I love the U.K!!! I may never get there, but I can, through videos like these from Billy Moore. Keep safe as things sometimes rock 'n roll a bit on the streets in your country. (As they can everywhere.) I'm watching and praying!
Always kind always compassionate. Bless you Billy. We are witnessimg death not by but post a thousand cuts with more to come. Stay safe and keep spreading the truth 🙏
People need to take responsibility for their local environment. You can’t complain when you dump mattresses and sofas outside your front door, or smash up and burn facilities put in place for the kids. Being poor is no excuse.
And lives ruined be smack dealers who everyone knows who they are but nobody tells the polis as they aren't grasses. No, they would rather their kids be around gear and inevitably hooked or victims of desperate addicts. Then blame the government.
Phew! So glad Billy knows how to carry himself. Also…has always amazed me how Scousers and Glaswegians understand each others language and accents. Being Glaswegian myself, the only other region/group i’ve felt that affinity with is Geordies.
Amazing isn't it! I can understand every word perfectly! I have worked around the Glasgow area a lot fitting boilers over the years. I was in the Drum in 2018 (when Steven Gerrard was the manager of Rangers) for 6 months. Stayed in an apartment on the never ending Dumbarton Road! And wegians always spot our scouse accents and have a good chat. Usually about the footy. Been to a couple of Rangers games over the years and oh my God, what a stadium!!! A bit like Goodison but bigger! 🫡🫵
I went with a girl from Wellhouse in Easterhouse 30 years ago (now demolished). We went to visit her parents and her dad gave use some booze to take with us when we left. He insisted on wrapping them in newspaper so the locals wouldn't hear the clinking when we went for the bus.
Another great vlog billy, always look forward to watching always gutted when there’s not one on every day, but you have a life too, it just goes to show how good they are, even if it can be sad to the decline on our streets, but it’s real life so that what you get! Thanks again billy.
It's a sick society where a young mother doesn't feel safe in her own home. It's also sad to see the passing of 2 young lads. Credit to the community for remembering them both in 2 very different ways. 💕
@@Debbiebarker88 People shouldn't be judged by where they live. I've met some great people who grew up in disadvantaged areas but are great people with good morals. It's how you live not where you live that matters. 💯
@@mariadodds2042 True enough but the rich who get to hire and fire want to concentrate the wealth among their own class and don't want "peasants" in their ranks.
So we have a housing crisis? Raynor goes on about building new houses, why can’t we just regenerate what we have? And tidy the country up? Surely it can’t be that hard
if you tidy anything, or make the existing infrastructure better in either of these areas, the locals will destroy it as it's in their nature to destroy,
Studied housing estate management in Edinburgh in late 90s...a trip to Easter house was unforgettable the Scots have had it harder than us down south ..the schemes are next level the best people but it pays to know a few as tricky places
I was born in Glasgow, stayed there till i was 8, my dad got transferred to the Highlands with the railway, never looked back, still say im a Glasweigan though. Wasnt as bad then 😢.
Not all bad was born in Easterhouse worked all over Glasgow , just no money been spent on the place , but plenty off money spent in the new shopping centre .
Drumchapel, Easterhouse, Castlemilk, Arden were really rough, as were many inner city estates like the notorious Red Road Flats at Blackhill, Pinkston estate at Sighthill, Gorbals/ Calton /Bridgton / Maryhill / Hutchesontown etc. Superficially much better now, just like Ferguslie Park at Paisley just down the road
Red Road flats weren't in Blackhill. Their bit was Springburn/Balornock/Barmulloch/Gringo. Blackhill is the other side of Royston Rd heading towards the the top end between the M8 and M80 motorways.
Nice one billy , welcome to Glasgow, glad to have you here bro , I think drumchapel and easterhouse are 2 of the biggest housing schemes/ estates manors whatever people call them us in Scotland 🏴 call them schemes
Hi billy loving these videos and I believe there very important its like the uks on the brink of apocalyptic in some areas its that run down not here like and thanks for making the effort to go and film these,hiws judder btw
@@MichaelParkinson-wz1nh I live in rural southern Portugal. Just peace, quiet, me, my two cats and dog here. I did a stint in London back when I was younger. Didn't like it at all. The 2011 riots were the last straw. Was gone a year later. 🩷
@DMWBN3 Aw glad they all got away. It just looks like a really tough place to be living. Angro around every corner. As I was saying in my other reply here, I did a spell living in London and that was frightening at times. Especially during the riots back in 2011.
@@MelissasArt yeah I would love that rural life in Portugal, it's not too bad we're i live in Heysham, in Morecambe bay, Tyson Fury country 😆, it's nice and peaceful and two minutes away from the Irish sea, absolutely stunning on a day like today, cos I got lovely views of the lake District and all the peaks. So if I close my eyes I could be in Portugal 😆😆. 👍.
Good one billy u show the proper places not just people that's got everything the people that lead ordinary lives enjoy all ur vids keep on going take care xx ❤❤
There seems to be some rough housing in Edinburgh just before you get to Waverley station when on the train. Don’t know what area it is. Isn’t there a rough part of Leith too? x
Bill put the word out for 100.000k SUBS come on people for all the people walking the pat back to the top Billy doesn't overtake anyone on here on the streets inside and outside. LETS GO PEOPLE 100K SUBS FOR THE GOOD GUYS THAT GOT RAMMED OFF THE ROAD BUT ARE COMING BACK UP.
@johnnybriggs773 They have increased dramatically lately is Billy connected to Scotland by family maybe his Missus has. Anyways the channel deserves the 100K I'm sure the achievement would give Billy something to keep him Vlogin because I doubt his in for the money so that leaves me thinking it's helping him help us seeing the world 🌎.
@@therealpaddy4687 for me a relate to Billy and am from Glasgow so a think that's what's happening. It's all about being genuine and saying how it is .
Yes Billy lad.. Up in the badlands of Scotland... Pretty grim I'd say... But there's folk who only know living in the schemes... I agree with you on the sad facts for youth today living in them places... Drugs n crime is so wrong however for many it's trying to escape a living existence like that. Thanks as always my mate good content... Gb 💯
Once you've visited Castlemilk, Pollok, Milton, and Ferguslie Park (Paisley) you'll have covered all the worst schemes in Scotland. There's also the "Chernobyl" scheme doon the M8 in the wee town of Port Glasgow too.
Its the people around a youngster that matters i grew up poor but people can get an education i heard the expression poverty of aspiration. So true young people have to be told THEY CAN ACHIEVE 🙏
great work billy its a sad indictment of our Government (s),that you are exposing the decay and the abandonment of the working class, cant see any political party having the desire to change it for the better you are creating a social record of the dismal circumstances that people live in . much appreciated
Lived in possil in the 70’s, Easter house as well, then the drum, then Patrick, Scotstoun Yoker in the 80’s as bad as it may seem now it was esp easterhouse and the drum wasteland communities stand or fall based on what they’ll tolerate most had the soul ripped out of them
On a serious note good stuff Bill as usual...good little piece when ya mentioned the kids playing with rubbish growing up with No inspiration and hardly any hope! None of government that's for sure and it's as you said Billy... "SAD" 😱 4real thanks for your time,passion & content pal 👍🏼
It's a shame in a way that Glasgow lost its tough side, the 90s were certainly a lot more violent, but a combination of political chages and the Internet have raised a different type of youth nowadays.
It's a shame you glorify mindless violence and think it's some sort of badge of honour. I see a few agree with you too and no doubt at the same time wonder why it's a 🚽 round there.
..excellent vid as always Billy your a 'Legend' ..many beutyfull houses yet its a shame the area is high in crime,poverty also its being neglected by the council who are doing nothing, no parks, not many shops ..alot of over-grown areas ..back in the early 90s I bet it was absolutely beutyfull
You're alright round there if you just move in with nothing, plenty furniture about, but same, I'd always heard drumchapel was one of the roughest schemes in Glasgow.
I used to do deliveries in easterhouse and I can honestly say I never once had a bit of hassle in it. Some of the people are the most genuine you will come across and they have it bloody hard they where put there with the promise of a better standard of life and have been let down by a number of governments since.
Same story where I am.Everytime a Kids playground is built(the one's with the Rubber flooring)within a day or so,it's set alight.The Kids have nothing nowadays
If Billy saw that he'd just let them get on with it and have a little chuckle about it, then complain about how terrible things are in the area. Same like he did with the bike incident yesterday.
My elderly neighbour moved out , it’s a beautiful house in a street with half council & half private. The council have turned it into a scatter flat . There’s people coming & going all hours . The last tenant was a junkie now we’ve got an ex jail bird. They are deliberately lowering the tone of the neighbourhood . You’ll only get a council house these days if you have problems & are a criminal.
Gangster my arse. Just a wee jumped up bellend same as the brother. The Dubai wan doesnae own a thing, ignore the tik toks they arenae his cars. There aw no even paid min wage to put their lives own the line, the high ups real gangsters take the majority of the dough. Mugs game
@@Sansmissione Part of that is their history. Most of them are at odds with the government but they've forgotten the reasons why or are too dumb to use the correct language to express themselves, over time the societal isolation turns to nihilism(I'm not sure how to fix this as more recent incomers from poor backgrounds tend to have a similar mindset as well and the money to make a difference is not there). If you co back in history they'll be Irish immigrants, Scottish people from rural areas forced into the central belt due to industrialisation, housed traveller families etc. Clan law is still king in the scheme not the Germanic common law we tend to know on civvy street. The legal framework of the land is of course a mixed one not just common law like you see down south.
I certainly think they don't need people like you trying to fix them. As for them being too dumb or being able to use the correct language. You know nothing
@@blairrobert3438thanks feel more educated. I understand but it doesn't make it better if it as you state then it's those you need to talk to organise clean up and safe places for the kids to go. To me it looks like the people can't be arsed and just given up
Been like that for decades. It's the people that make a place what it is. The mind set is it's someone else's problem just like you yesterday with the bike incident.
Nah don't blame the people ,I'm sure if there was enough decent paying jobs about ,and aprentaships were people have hope for the future ,again when theyv finished course they know that will ,have a decent chance in life to get a home and quality of life ,then you wouldn't see so many slums .
@@Sansmissione nothing wrong with my kids ,and has I've said these people on drugs for me ,wouldn't of started that shit if there was positive vibes around ,the community,with decent paid jobs and things so what your saying ,could of and would be prevented if leaders cared enough .
@@johnmcdonald9295 Aye m8, back in the 90's Ruchill was viewed as one of the worst places just like Milton & Posso. It seemed to have quietened doon by the 2,000's and after the Barnes Rd bit was pulled doon.
I came from Easterhouse brilliant scheme like everywhere has its bad people i done nearly 200hrs community service painting that nursing home in the 90s 😂😂😂😂Drummy is sound lol aka lochend that was my old secondary was called the hash factory in papers i was lucky i had family all over there and still do so never had any issues even gang fighting 1 the boys who killed bill got slashed in lowmoss few weeks back 👀
It was scousers that done that mural for billy maguire Mazza L20 has done a song about him and wesavelli mentions him in his songstoobhe was well connected with the scousers and all over tbf!!
I can't remember if you've been to Mountblow/Clydebank and the Paisley area? Paisley's wild just now; that's where that fella was chasing the police down the road with a chainsaw in broad daylight.
