Two American Christian teenagers have made a video offering to help ‘save’ the industrial wasteland of Glasgow – and it’s possibly the most patronising, racist video ever filmed.

If they DO come, they can be sure of a warm Scottish welcome – and possibly even a Glasgow kiss.

‘We are volunteers. Currently we are part of Hope Scouts. We both love serving,’ they warble. ‘You are probably wondering – why ‘Glass-co’? High levels of poverty, high levels of alienation.- one-third of all children in the city are estimated to be living in the poverty.

The teenagers seem to be convinced that Glasgow – which they pronounce ‘Glass-co’ for some reason – is basically an enormous rubbish dump, populated by people like Rab C Nesbitt.




The two ‘Hope Scouts’ have been greeted by a barrage of abuse which is pretty hardcore, even for Youtube.

‘F*ck away wi yees ah’ll smash a bottle a bucky aer yer f*ckin heeds,’ says one commenter. (Translation for non-Scots: ‘Please go away, or I will smash a bottle of the popular tonic wine Buckfast over both your heads.’)

Others were even less kind, saying, ‘Couple a f*nnies,’ ‘Couple of little cons trying to get money for nothing,’ ‘P*ss off,’ ‘This is utter sh*te’.

The two teenagers rapidly deleted their video – but other kind souls uploaded it to Youtube, there it remains ours to laugh at for eternity.
