| Comment | Spent most of my adult life living in Glasgow and will risk the downvotes by giving my honest opinion - despite the marketing slogan it’s actually people that are the problem with Glasgow, or at least a subset of them.
It’s a mindset that exhibits itself as a sort of celebration of being a total cunt, noising up as many people as possible. To be honest it exists everywhere in Scotland but it’s at its worst in the former industrial cities so here, Liverpool, Manchester and Newcastle stand out.
I didn’t move back to Glasgow 3 years ago for the people. I came here because I’d get paid double what I was on in Dundee for the same job, I’d have much wider opportunities beyond that and could spend my weekends going to gigs, hanging around street food festivals and drinking in obnoxious Finnieston bars. Thats the true appeal of the city, not this false promise that it’s some sort of big happy family where you make pals for life every time you get on a fucking bus. Who even wants that?
Don’t get me wrong, the majority of people you meet are decent, but between the snootiness in the west and the suburbs, the growing pretensions of the south and the chaos of the north and east, there are at least 200,000 total cunts in and around the city. I wouldn’t have it any other way though. |
