Drumchapel

[EMDEE]

I can certainly appreciate what you are saying, and I think all of us could come up with examples.

[ionnsaigh]

The last chap I knew from the Drum - I shared an office with - got a great rise out of him on the first day by saying "bet there arent many like you in Drumchapel" - "what do you mean?" - "with an engineering degree"- "oh that" .
Stuart is black. Much guffawing later he realised he'd been had. Point is a black kid from Drumchapel couldnt have had a much worse start - but the first thing he did was got educated, then got out. So whats the excuse of all the others that are too comfy to get off thier asses?

I accept that there are some heriditary wealthy - maybe 0.0001% of the population
then there are the great unwashed - in scotland what is it 15%
then there are the pensioners you know those that fought in the war and worked all thier lives so that the unwashed could watch daytime telly in comfort, -and whom we tax to within an inch of thier lives to pay for the cooncil works and teachers guaranteed pensions.
Then there are the rest of us who pay for everything now and probably in the future too. Does you good to know that your taxes are being well spent on fags and buckie.

Deprived? explain that one, deprived of what exactly? Deprived is some kid in Malawi whos mother died and doesnt know where thier next meal is comming from - Id much rather feed him/her than the heart lazy sick man of Europe.

It would be interesting to find out what area in Drumchapel Black Stuart came from? Was he born in the Drum I very much doubt it - was he educated in the Drum?- does he remain in the Drum? ye cannae beat the Drum. when you don't recognise the beat.
