The Scheme

The Scheme - BBC1 Scotland

BBC said:

An observed documentary series following the dramatic and often emotional highs and lows of daily life for six different families all living in one large housing scheme in Kilmarnock. From parents battling to keep their kids on the straight and narrow to people fighting for community projects, the series offers a snapshot of life in modern day Scotland.

Marvin and his dog Bullet are reunited with an old flame while another family struggle to deal with one of their children being jailed. Single mum Kay decides to take in three of her teenage daughter's friends.

It makes Shameless look the height of respectability...

A waste of skin, and I work my bits off to pay for them ?

Christ, you have my sympathies.

Loved the way a certain family dont work, yet they have the mobility motor and the cash to have the big TV and get all the nicotine they want.

Not to mention the 'I'm a good Mother, and I take in other kids'

No love, a good mother isn't lying in her bed at 8:40am, shouting for her lighter and using the word at the top of her voice while her 5 year old tries to get herself ready for school.

Seriously, why are we funding the lifestyles of these wasters?

I feel so sorry for the good people in that scheme, and there will be good people. Having to be near doleite wasters like that lot.

Edited to add, and those who were gutted at the boy getting sent to jail, after ahving seven, yes seven, chances in the past from the courts. Seriously, what the fk more do they want.

Piss has now achieved superheated status.

Just watched this, alot of demographic labour voters there.

I live 15 miles away from there, my mate lives 2 streets away in the new builds featured halfway through the program.

I don't feel safe visiting him, as I need to drive through scumville to get to the new part.

That 20 year old who looks 12, I want him dead. Everyone in that program should be sterilized.

Dole scumbags.

I did love the crying 'mother' walking out of the courts. "All the bin laden bds of the day"

I was sent out the room by my wife, after shouting "WHO'S PAYING FOR THAT...ME!" about 15 times in the 5 mins I watched it.

I was depressed after 10 minutes and had to change the channel. What chance do some of those poor kids have with parents like that? It's so so depressing...<sighs> .

It's a familiar lifestyle in many schemes in the west of Scotland.

heres an article on the local reaction http://www.heraldscotland.com/mobile/news/home-new...

Areas and families like this are the reason child poverty and the like is so high. the government have targets and all that but these areas produce large families of useless kids who grow up to make feck all contribution to society and live off handouts.

That young boy Chris would get slapped around for fun off off the majority of folk yet strolls about with impunity because he doesn't give a toss or he's out his face.
