The two guys at the end of document speaking pure facts 👊

"Deep in the Scottish Highlands"... goes to Kilmarnock

As someone who lives in Inverness, actually in the Scottish Highlands, I would like you to apologize for the extremely misleading first sentence of your voiced intro. You are not deep in the Scottish Highlands you are film is set in Kilmarnock in the South West of Scotland. You should of looked at a map first or maybe googled where the Highlands begin, certainly not where you were.
-
That opening sentence is like saying London is in the north. Have you lived your whole life thinking 'Highlands' was synonymous with 'Scotland'? 🤔

"You don't have to be highly educated to know when you're being shafted." - Some Old Guy -

the 2 blokes at the end sum it up perfectly. country is on its knees, people have had enough, meanwhile Rishi and his mates continue lining their pockets. Our grandparents would be ashamed of what this country has become.

You’ve had a shocker with the opening statement then you hear Killie boys.
-
Kilmarnock isn't the Highlands. It's just outside Glasgow.
-
Aye OK the guy made a mistake saying the Highlands. Geography is no his strong point. But he did shed some light on the deprivation and lack of work for the people of Kilmarnock and paisley.
-
Decent documentary, but one of the first thing you say is "Scottish Highlands" then show Kilmarnock in the south of Scotland.....the whole of Scotland aren't the Highlands

I grew up in a low income family on a council estate, but my mum had morals. She taught me manners and encouraged me to do what I wanted to do. I ended up going to uni even though I was broke and managed to get a computer science degree. I have been traveling the world for 10+ years working remote as a software engineer doing what I had only dreamt of doing at 15. Poverty is an issue, I grew up amongst it... but good morals and a role model is how people break out of that. It's sad to watch this and see kids that want to grow up to be dealers.

"You don't need to be highly educated to know when you're being shafted."👏👏

Jack and Victor at the end were spot on

THE TWO AULD GUYS HIT IT RIGHT ON THE HEAD . ITS A BIG CLUB AND WERE NOT IN IT

What's wrong is lack of Discipline, when I was a kid if I did anything like this, did anything that was disrespectful to anyone or anything I'd be punished hard. Today that has been taken out the hands of parents so we have feral yobs running around. I'm from a working class coal mining village in Yorkshire, I didn't turn to stabbing people, robbing people, drug dealing etc, so I can only put it down to lack of discipline and the breakdown of the family unit

Sorry, but this video is just full of inaccuracies. The creators of this type of video don't do any proper research and constantly get crucial points wrong, from saying it is one area when it's actually nowhere close to there. Also the youngsters in the shopping centre at the start - so much bullshit, unbelievable.

Kilmarnock was shafted recently with Johnny Walker (Diagio) pulling out the area. IIRC they even made a JW museum and placed it in Edinburgh. As someone who supports Kilmarnock you can see reflected in the support how much people are struggling. Football clubs are trying to engage youngsters or use community programmes to get people along to support their local club and their community but there's just not enough money. Scotland for decades has been shafted by governments. It should be one of the wealthiest countries on earth yet we have highest drug deaths in Europe per capita because there's fuck all to do, no houses and no work. Many folk you met if you offered them a chance at making a decent living would walk away from gang life and drugs. Real shame.

I was born in Greenock, right next to Port Glasgow. You're actually in the Lowlands, not the Highlands! I grew up in the U.S. but have gone back to visit family several times. There are some rough area's in Scotland but I would say by far most of the country is beautiful, as are the people, especially when you get up into the actual Highlands.

I'm from Clydebank but studied in Paisley. I also got my first teaching post there. I've now been a resident for over 30 years. The Buddies are excellent individuals. I've friends in Kilmarnock & I've never experienced any problems. The Dead Scheme in the Port is a very sad situation. However when I visited the area 2 years ago, the last residents I spoke to were open & polite. I even met two families from Birmingham, that'd moved into the area. To improve their family's chances here in Scotland. If that doesn't speak volumes for my Country & the Scots I don't know what does? ❤

Anyone remember "The Scheme" with Dana and Marvin? That was also in Kilmarnock if I remember right.
