From Liverpool myself and lived in Glasgow for 5 years worked on every deprived area and it’s very sad to see how many people are addicts there,still love the place and Glaswegians 👍🏻👍🏻
My home city .. I worked in Birmingham mosley 😳 that was worse all young girls on the game smack crack .. homeless units went to get weed two black guts Swan off down the side of the front passenger seat 😮 fk I'm only wanting a half q of bud .. first day there front of house foil black lines up and down it .. everyone where I was on the crack heroin 14yr old girls on the game i was 17 first time in Birmingham but our company probably put us where the cheapest rent was .. next to the carphone warehouse could rent a gun 2 doors up was there for 7 months 😮 this mad but central was fine some good nights out .. but shocked me I thought im from Glasgow Birmingham 🤨 won't be bad.. it was worse
Glasgow could be such a nice city. I think they always seem to spend money on the outside of areas in Glasgow or Scotland really and they forget about the parts in the middle and 9/10 the middle bits are horrifying. I bet Roxanne would’ve been stunning if she could get clean and most probably before whatever got hold of her.
Roxanne has people waiting to help her she needs to want the help billy i was brought up with all her family her mum & brother are dead she lost her we gran a couple of years back and a uncle just before xmas she has people around who are willing to give their time up but you really need to want it for yourself ive tried so many times ive had her in my arms as a baby and as a young lady 💔 We have to Just pray she sees sence and does what her uncle edward wants her to aswell and get into recovery 🙏🏻 #wdr..1nall
@@alicewatt416 Morning Alice 🩷 Thank you her yesterday he made sure she was okay poor we soul😢 I was once were roxanne was 9 years I have been away from that life & i 🙏🏻 one day Roxanne will take the help waiting for her ❤️ it's so sad the young ones of today are lost and stuck in addiction some as young as 12,13 yrs old and they don't know what or who to turn to 💔 They think that's a freind selling that stuff to them when in reality no freind would offer you the devil's dust 😭 Have a lovely week ahead 🩷🙏🏻
As you know Billy from my previous comments, I work with addicted people and homeless and one of the biggest problems with the homeless is, we get them into rehab, we get them off the drugs or the alcohol, then when they leave rehab because they are homeless we stick them in emergency accommodation that is full of addicts, and alcoholics, no wonder they go back to there old ways, this situation helps no one and local councils need to address this urgently
Derek 46 percent of drug related deaths toxicology reports had cannabis in their system. We if we allowed people to grow their own and allowed clubs to bulk buy different strains that people could chose to suit their own needs at reasonable prices, we would be in a better situation. Recovery support has to accept other drug use as a valid form of recovery. Eg Aa must welcome and accept that someone may want to stop alcohol and continue with other substances because if they aren't made to feel welcome they will leave.
Do you ever stop and think - these are people who made the CHOICE to take drugs? In the past my life has been a complete pile of shit, yet the first thing on my mind is not ‘my life is crap - I know, I’ll deliberately search out someone who sells drugs to buy to make me feel better.’ You have to also teach the people about PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, and that sometimes, their shit life is THEIR FAULT.
@@peter-cj5fo are you being deliberately difficult or are you really that thick? The ones you go to an ILLEGAL DRUG dealer for. 🙄 No one (unless they have acquired an addiction through something like pain medication) is a VICTIM of drugs - they DECIDE to voluntarily seek out people who PUSH these (again, illegal) drugs, and they DECIDE/CHOOSE to take them.
Billy I love your channel. I'm from Halifax and Leeds. Lost my sister to smack and drink 11 yrs ago. It is so easy to go down that bad road to drugs. I'm so lucky to have a good family and learn from my sisters mistakes. Respect Billy 👍
another great video, love your style so much, you care so much and it really comes across and the people you meet open up to you because of it....brilliant
Being brought up ( dragged up) in Stepney East London and now living in the chilterns in Buckinghamshire I have seen both side of the coin.I have a open mind about these people,and never try to judge them.Everyone has a back story,and our life’s can be changed for better or worse in seconds.I hope they navigate their way in a positive way .

Like your style of production Billy, capturing our countries problems with a sympathetic approach. Ex addicts know there is no silver bullet to the issue of hard street drugs. The politicians involved in every problem area need to study these and other creators videos. I’ve seen the cynical creators, running round capturing drama for views. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth, but these creators showcase the hard hearted cynicism that plagues our parliament. I’m no lefty with my head in cuckoo land, just a recovered addict who has met many brilliant people in various states of despair.

You got my old flat on video it was one of the high risers. Lived there many years ago when I was young but moved away from there bought a house got a degree have a really nice life now. I'd never change my time in Maryhill no matter what, absolutely loved that part of my life was there. I sometimes go back and visit just to take it all in.
So desperately sad. I think the last interview demonstrated your totally empathy. I felt a heavy sense of hopelessness ,and really respect you for sharing this video although it was difficult to watch. It seems nobody is taking responsibility for the whole situation.
You are following my footsteps Billy :) as a child I grew up in the Wyndford Barracks, then some years in Ruchill Smeaton and Mayfield st, then we moved back down to Maryhill Road at 970 which was next to Cash and Carry carpets. I last lived in Acre Road before we came down to London in 86'.
You're a good man Billy - you encourage a fair few. I was just talking about that today - the difference in achievements. I mean you can own a house, smart car, have loads of money in your account and be qualified but then you can be set up in life in a totally different way - hit the bottom, the underbelly of it all and come out the other end. These are different kinds of achiever, which as you said deserve a bit of credit.
Great videos Bill, I live in parkhead, a few miles away from that area. It is far to easy to fall into a life of crime and children are expose to hard drugs at really young age. Its tragic
Funny how Scousers got innocent English club teams banned in 1985 with their violence they were happy to be classed as English that year, poor Everton missed out on a chance to defend the Cup Winners Cup and FA Cup winners Man Utd missed a chance to win it, thanks to the Red Lice, scum.
Love what u do im a recovering alcoholic i had to hit the curb and got told if i drank again i would die off of yhe paramedic. Shame to c someone else hurting so bad hope wee girl turns her life around but only she can do it
Great stuff Billy ye should come out to the shire sometimes. See the wee market towns and smaller towns like motherwell Bellshill carluke and lanark where William Wallace started the rebellion. Its got it good and bad and lots of ancient history and modern problems . You'd be welcome mate
Well done bro, not many come out of the class A addiction, I done it but on 28ml of methadone and it takes some time to get down. Better coming down 2ml a week than 5ml cos you seem to feel it on 5ml drop. Great content Billy again. God Bless.
The Old "I'm a Scouser shout" does not work up there in Scotland I'm afraid Bill! You're a "Englishman" as the young Lady states Still Salt of the earth people though 👍👍👍
28 its sad to see this young lass, younger than my own daughter. I hope some off her family see this, horrible, as an addict myself, you know what's in store for her, addiction can be beat . but no way can anybody do it alone.
Legend bill. Hope you paid your old 20 year plus pal George a visit when bk down here. ! Great content. Think you would do great numbers doing live audience in Glasgow. People can relate to you bill. 🙏
wow billy you are covering ground......i mentioned in your possilark vid my dad lived in allander street......but he was born on henderson street in maryhill......whats next ruchill? great videos. toronto
Stand in High school teacher asks the 2. Boys and a girl pupils who are late in class " were have you been? First boy says " Up Maryhill ! " And you boy ? Aye miss i wiz up Maryhill as well ."And you missy ?? I um Mary Hill ......😮
Good content, the guy at the end hes cooked difficult for him to return to a normal life, although I have seen people like him turn it around somehow. The girl is still young and has plenty of chamce to turn it around and lead a good life but depends how much she wants it, first of all she needs to surround herself by people who are going to encourage here to change. Good luck to them both
That’s peoples life’s and I’m in Glasgow and it saddens me we seem to have forgot to look after our own. It’s probably early morning and he’s out his face. You go abroad and you notice something is missing, you can’t place it then you realise the place is clean and tidy and seems safe and people don’t drop litter or wreck things for the sake of it and take pride in where they live. Obviously people have problems and go down the spiral, good luck to these guys it can happen to anyone.
Billy you should do video just purely based on central west scotland. Coatbridge and Airdrie in particular are two of the most deprived areas in the the u.k nevermind scotland.
I once worked with the German man his name is thorston he was a man of many stories about his time in the military overseas was a very fit and physical man back in 2009 -10 has fallen into the wrong crowds it’s sad to see how he looking nowadays .
Beeing from dundee, scotland, im a regular visitor to glasgow. Especially barlinnie prison lol. Glasgows like everywhere, there's good and bad. If your streetwise you ll survive..
Just a thought. I know it's important to highlight real life struggles that individuals go through, and hearing voices straight from the street is invaluable for us to learn. Is it possible to also find and show videos of the Supporting Groups in the places you visit? Show viewers and people you meet a link for help, if they decide to follow it up, and to show a glimmer of light to those in the areas to go to, and more importantly to shout out the groups in these communities who do give positive opportunities and make a difference in people's lives. TYIA
Was thinking the same, I know the first boy he was talking to, grew up with him. Only difference is, I started taking heroin when I was 14. I lived in Ruchill when it was a dump and now it's all done up the only place I could get a house was in drumchapel which is still a dump and after seeing some of these videos about Glasgow I just feel more fucking suicidal than ever. I have an addiction to diazepam and I keep getting told that I should never try get off them myself because it could be fatal. I've been asking for help with getting me into some detox program but they just tell you there's nothing out there. I would love to see some information about getting help with addiction, homelessness and mental health. We need some hope, I feel like what is happening is a form of extermination, they know people with any of these problems will never survive and they will just die out. The government should be held responsible for the neglect of the city, the city that played a massive part in the industrial revolution and ship building, true hard working people but the city got neglected and the jobs weren't available so people had to claim benifits then politicians use that as a stick to beat them with.
Those high rises are literally a 10 min walk from million pound houses. Shows you how much the postcode lottery can make all the difference. St George's Cross isn't really classed as Maryhill it's really its own area.
Gotta love the Glasgae accent. Great vid as ever Billy lad. It sounds weird but it feels like folk know you personally , on the comments I mean , must be your manner and the way you come across. Nice one pal.
this is my home town bro back in the day it was like something from the cult classic movie the warriors lots of youth gangs in this area alone the VYT YRB YPF CYT and the list goes on

We need some hope, I feel like what is happening is a form of extermination, they know people with any of these problems will never survive and they will just die out. The government should be held responsible for the neglect of the city, the city that played a massive part in the industrial revolution and ship building, true hard working people but the city got neglected and the jobs weren't available so people had to claim benifits then politicians use that as a stick to beat them with.

Those high rises are literally a 10 min walk from million pound houses. Shows you how much the postcode lottery can make all the difference. St George's Cross isn't really classed as Maryhill it's really its own area.
Woodside is it no?
No sure if Garscube Rd. counts as Maryhill either.
Just came across your channel, do you only film bad bits? There is alot of good spots around Glasgow too 😊 you seem to have a lovely attitude though ❤

It's beautiful. I think. I know they're freezing like, but they always looked grand to me
What hes saying about entering other schemes back in the day is spot on.
Gotta love the Glasgae accent. Great vid as ever Billy lad. It sounds weird but it feels like folk know you personally , on the comments I mean , must be your manner and the way you come across. Nice one pal.

Thanks for showing a bit of humanity. Hope that we’ve treated you with respect whilst you’re here Billy.
And yes he isn’t English - but he’s Scouse. ☺️👏 (Unfortunately met lot’s of Scousers, all very game 99% gentlemen, up the Big House🙄😏✌️)
Well in to the north face dude
Breaks my heart to think these folks have disappeared off the radar of Humanity. As with every place all over the country.
