GANGSTERS? REAL MEN IN GLASGOW TALK!!

I Talk To Two Elderly Men In My Walk And Talks About Growing Up Back In The Day When Men Were Men Growing Up In Glasgow And Staying In London And Manchester.
They Speak Openly When People Had NOTHING But EVERYTHING. Could Leave Your House Door OPEN And Everyone Helped EACH OTHER Out When TIMES Were BAD But ALWAYS Managed To Look Out For One ANOTHER.
Also Talk About RESPECT Or LACK Of It These DAYS. Charlie Speaks HIGHLY Of Walter Norvall Back In The Day, Peterhead Prison And How Glasgow Is A Fishbowl Were EVERYONE Knows EVERYTHING About One ANOTHER.
Don Speaks About His Time Growing Up In
VIEWPARK On Outskirts Of Glasgow And Also Of Having NOTHING But The LOVE Of His FAMILY. Through HARD Work( Nothing I Knew About Tbh) Don Became A Successful Businessman And Stayed In South Africa For Many YEARS.
JOHN BOWDEN Is Spoke About He Spent Nearly 40 YEARS In Prison For A Murder In London 1982 When He Was Sentenced To LIFE With A 25 YEARS RECOMMENDED TARIFF At The OLD BAILEY.
JOHN Was Viewed By MOST PRISO
N STAFF As A COMMITTED AND DANGEROUS TROUBLE MAKER. He Was OFTEN BRUTALITY PUNISHED, Sufferering YEARS Of Prolonged SOLITARY CONFINEMENT And BEATINGS From PRISON STAFF!!
He Took The GOVERNOR HOSTAGE In PARKHURST PRISON ON The Isle Of Wight In The EIGHTIES And Was Sent To WAKEFIELD PRISON In The NORTH Of ENGLAND( Dubbed Monster Mansions).
It Was A Category A PRISON And A SEGREGATION UNIT Was Opened In F WING For The Most DISRUPTIVE PRISONERS IN The COUNTRY. It Was A HATE FACTORY Were The SCREWS Had TOTAL CONTROL And THEY Were Seen As UNBREAKABLE
There Was SUICIDES And PRISONERS Suffering From MENTAL ILLNESSES Due To THEIR TREATMENT BY The THUGS In UNIFORM!!
John Staged An UPRISING Among HIs Fellow PRISONERS And In TWO MONTHS Had The BULLIES Of WAKEFIELD At THEIR WITTS END And THE ALCATRAZ OF THE NORTH OF ENGLAND WAS CLOSED DOWN And ALL The PRISONERS 'GHOSTED Out All Around The COUNTRY!!
And JOHN Is Now A FREEMAN TODAY With His Own PODCAST PRISONERS SOLIDARITY NETWORK on KZbin Continually Fighting For PRISONERS Of Being The VICTIMS From These SADIDISTIC BULLIES IN UNIFORM!!
And Lastly But Not Least The Gentleman From The Park Lane Pub On Hope St Glasgow City Centre Jim/Jimmy.
Jim Kindly Shared A Period Of His Life Mentioning He Stayed In Bethnal Green London For 30 Years And Met Many Characters From Yesteryear. He Said The People He Met Were Kind And Decent And Was Sad To Leave.
He Spoke Of Robbing As A Way Of Life For A Period And His Involvement In Crime Which Ultimately Led To Stretches In Prison.
Also Said He's Made More Money Living A Straight Life Working Than His Life Of Crime.
He Put It To People If You Want To Be A GANGSTER Then Be PREPARED To Be Treated Like A Gangster Going On To Say There's ALWAYS Someone HARDER Than YOURSELF.
Lastly Jim Said He Came Back To SCOTLAND For LOVE ❤️ Met A Lovely Woman Who Wanted To Move Back HOME 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 And Got MARRIED 🎊
