Teens to save Glasgow

The environmentally friendly 'Hope Scout' Christian volunteers pitched to save the industrial wasteland in Glasgow in a YouTube video, which went viral, although it has been criticised by viewers as a patronizing and racist clip.

Speaking on their social media clip, which sees them mis-pronounce Scotland's capital city, the pair said: ''We are volunteers. Currently we are part of 'Hope Scouts'. We both love serving.

''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.''

However, following negative feedback the duo removed their post, which has subsequently been re-uploaded by other people.
