    A lot of theese gangs were liberty takers… Nothing proud of being a jail bird.. the straight and narrow gate is far better and harder.. I use to get involved in fights.. but later learned no response is the best response.. but Scotland has a real problem with the scum elements.. and theiving and fraud is nothing to be proud off.. but j.d can actually speak very well… and has a hint of the truth of the area he grew up.. but I don,t get how they think criminality is okay.. and yes some coppers are plain liars.. but what’s the alternative.. and some are as bad as the criminals.. they abuse there power in many forms.. some of the highland Gaelic ex cops could buy and sell you.. I knew many who had no tax disc’s on there autos.. they thought they were excempt.. because they were the police..a lot of fly men in the east end of Glasgow.. why do theese you tube people never do .. what good folk have done in there life.. like a life helping others as Albert Einstein quoted.. it’s the only life worth living.. I could,,not do that as am not a people person.. but I admire those who do make a life helping others.. the problem of the world is not money.. it’s selfishness and self centered mankind.. no time for fly men.. decency and honesty far harder than criminality..
