Here is a clip of last nights live debate on BBC one. Nicholas Scullion was invited by the BBC to to give a comment as we are Scottish Criminal Law Firm of the Year and we work with people from similar areas.
What are your thoughts on The Scheme? There were some interesting points raised last night from the audience and we were inspired by some of the stories of recovering drug addicts and alcoholics who have managed to turn their lives around after reaching out for help. Did the Scheme cause you offence? Did it shock and distress you or do you think it is important that the BBC lifted the lid on the way some individuals within these communities lead their lives? Are there solutions? Has anything positive come from the show?
What are your thoughts... We know there are so many positive stories within these communities, of young men who go to College and on to the Army or into jobs and this is great, as well as the talent for singing, dancing, sport and so on. We know of several good, honest hard working individuals and a wide range of professionals that work hard to provide for their families and lead a morally good life. Not all are on drugs!
Unless you live there or know someone who does, you will never fully know of all the good as well as the bad that goes on in each community - and it is not just Kilmarnock! Please leave your comments below...

'A vivid portrayal of life in a Kilmarnock housing scheme has been criticised by some as "poverty porn" but the programme also attracted large audiences and has been praised for highlighting the harsh reality of life in parts of Scotland today'.
