| Comment | Nah mate, no way. The definition of a shithole, and I can this from experience is way south and it is Malta : literally no parks or any grass to sit on, pavements are fucked and impossible to walk on, corruption at every level of government / business, bars and food are terrible (Want to complain? Told to fuck off every time), beyond filthy and one the most heavily polluted places in the EU, dead cats every where on the streets, houses and rent beyond what most can afford (Worse than any UK city), daily xenophobia and black people being shot in drive-bys by soldiers, just for being black. We're talking are little, pretty idyllic island which has more days of sunshine per year any where else in Europe.
I refuse to let anyone call Scotland a shithole until they've experienced a place like that. In fact, just talk to any sensible - and honest person - who is from Italy (South), Spain, Greece, Bulgaria etc, and they will tell you how bad it is in the south of Europe. As i've said else where recently, Scotland even with its faults, is pretty progressive and the standard of living, for the most part, is really high. |
