    I joined the navy in 1960 s and i only went back to Glasgow only on my leave and i seen the gang slogans spray painted all over and decided to migrate to Oz in 1967 when i left the navy ,was the best move i ever made , i went back 4/5 times only for a holiday but things seemed to get even worse looking now at these videos , i find pathetic , the mentality of these youths is unbelievable, but then society now ,everywhere has gone mad , i am 70 now and feel civilization will be lucky to last 100 yrs if its lucky

      Your destiny was Oz, the whole world has changed forever as we know from the constant barrage of negative media available dwelling on ''appeasement'' to someone ''offended'' enjoy the rest of your days in the sunshine Dave, you've earned your rest, I myself have just been a grand da for the 2nd time, got a beautiful 7 pound 10 ounce grand daughter, and I can only hope the time she is grown up, the world is a far better place than what we are seeing around us today, all the very best to you, god bless

    Read "Autobiography of a Murderer" by Hugh Collins. Joe Devlin plays a big part in the book,great read.He ended up Stabbed up by someone who was hiding in a wardrobe,who jumped out and murdered him.It's all in the book.

    I remember my pal took me to see his old pals in Possilpark. They were a great bunch of young men. They accepted me a stranger, saying any pal of Alex's was a pal of theirs. I told them I was getting a bit of hassle by a group in my village. The gang walked Alex and I back to Queen st station. One guy wearing a Crombie jumped on the train beside me, he opened up his Crombie to reveal an array of weapons, he said when I have finished with Bs you won't get any more hassle.I persuaded the guy that I could sort things myself. I didn't want him getting into bother over me.I got my eyes opened that day and often wonder how they all got on in life.

      I don't think it has changed that much. The deeper you go into the inner city the harder the accent is. Today, the neds and inner Glasgow gangs sound the same to me. When you get around the more posh type, such as trendies they sound more modern, their English is better and easier to understand.

Mods were around from early sixties right to now with a big 'revival' late seventies to 80's then another with the likes of oasis but they're a btmritish sub culture of music, style, hair etc not just a scooter, I've been a mod for 35 years and I've never owned a scooter ever for example.

I was born from a large glasgow family in Glasgow and I know Glasgow on the whole as a friendly great city but if you want trouble you'll get it, by God you'll get it, Edinburgh is toddlers playing in a paddling pool by comparison. It's well said that you'll have more fun at a glesga stabbing than an Edinburgh wedding! Also, you just don't get a hard man from Edinburgh

      See my post a few posts above this post. He was not Joe The Bear Devlin… The Bear, was another guy… But yes he was Joe Devlin… Joe was murdered about 15 years after this interview. Another guy caught him shagging his bird and beat him to death with a crow bar… Joe was a full time gang member and lived the gang / criminal life till he died… Joe was one of the leaders of The Shamrock but the real leader of The Shamrock at that time was Albert Faults.... Joe and the other leaders were wild and game but Albert was in a league of his own… Albert would literally have stabbed his own granny for a laugh.. RCS=Royston Catholic Shamrock….

      Not sure about the first three but its definitely worse than Sheffield. Sheffield is the safest big city in Britain. Im not saying it doesn't have tough spots- all cities do, but there is no way its comparable to Glasgow. Glasgow has proportionatly more murders per 100,000 people than London. I think it's improved a lot but it is still unquestionably a tough, violent city. So yes I would say it's worse. For decades 'Glasgow' itself was a byword for a tough place.

    • @bnns1219
      @bnns1219 6 лет назад +2

      Yes glasgow has double the murder rate of london and 170 gangs 10 more than london even thought its a lot smaller . Seems that the gangs and knifes are starting to calm down. But at the end of the day glasgow will never change as much as people want to move away and hide from the stereotype of knives and gangs its true all over scotland not just glasgow . The small town where i live near glasgow has 10000 people and 3 gangs in one small scheme. Depends where you go in glasgow go to the drum pollok easterhouse calton and you will see.

    Joe "the bear" was known as Joe "the hare" to other shamrock members due to the speed with which he would leave when things kicked off. Pointed out Hugh Collins in court and made a statement against him which led to Collins' conviction.
    Still lives in Royston Road I believe but is treated as a pariah due to his role in Collins conviction.
