    After atrocitie after atrocitie in ireland and yesterday in southport on innocent kids not by loyalists or republicans but illegall you know who's its time we put our differences away for now.The great replacement is taking place in Ireland north ,south ,east and west its in the mainland and the rest of europe.We have to be honest sinnfein and the unionists are allowing it because they get EU cash.The kids who were attacked in southport by a 17 year old syrian was a tit for tat attack for gaza and the IDFs onslaught against their kids and community.You have to put yourself in thè shoes of how the mums and dads of those kids feel here and over there but killing kids here won't change isreali policy.We all know nobody has gone away they still exist but they are gangsters in it for cash both mobs ,yesterday it was southport tomorrow it could be one of our kids in Scotland.14.000 irish men ,women and kids are homeless even more on the mainland yet billions are spent housing these would be assasins who only see westerners not green or orange .

    That lass at 29 mins hit home how I felt while deployed in NI. Family from Kerry my gran moved us to Scotland. Growing up through the 70s on army movies that's what I wanted to do. Irish and growing up as a Scottish lad. I joined the Scottish divisions and had originally been told we were being deployed to Derry to help the catholics. How fkn quickly that changed. Home then deployed to Belfast at the barracks initially. Catholic and always in trouble due to being sent to detain catholics who in my eyes were fighting for equal rights. In my honest opinion, if you want to be British feck off to england. WTF does Scotland or Ireland have to do with the union jack. Took me a year or so to sink in I was not seen as a Scottish soldier but a British soldier. I've never in my life been British. Always an Irish Scotsmen. Sadly naive as a teenager. Sadly Adams sold everyone out and should be treated as the traitor he is. They say things have changed, not in areas such as Derry, Belfast and more Ballycastle with its red white and blue kerbing. Scotland is still as divided, on that note I did have a rangers supporter tell me he didn't care what religion I am. Astounded due to tje times I grew up in

    Moved to 74 Aberdalgie Road in October 1958 from the Gallowgate on my tenth birthday. Then there wasn't even street lights or pavements on Westerhouse road. had to walk a couple of hundred yards often in the dark on very muddy conditions to catch the number 41 bus to Duke Street.

    very interesting. all the east end housing was let down by the council. (cranhill, easterhouse, queenslie, etc). you'd put in for a repair..... never get it.... and thats just the tip of the iceberg. never be ashamed of where you came (Glasgow made me what I am). There is no two ways about it ; the areas were neglected. Still are.

    I remember Easterhouse in the late 1980s. Dante's inferno comes to mind. I was a security guard for a few days. My father told me that when it was first built, people nick-named it Exodus because everybody wanted out as soon as they arrived. I forget the street names, but I have this memory of burnt-out cars and a 30-foot-high water spout on the pavement. Half the houses were boarded up. It looked like a third-world nightmare Disneyland in the city of culture.
