Quote
"One in four men in Glasgow die before they are 65."

"According to a 2016 study, 43 percent of adults are classified as either disabled or chronically ill. Suicide rates are higher than they were in 1968, and the all-cause mortality rate in the 15–44 age group is 142.4 deaths per 100,000.[4] Drug-related deaths in Scotland more than doubled between 2006 and 2016."


large parts of manchester/liverpool/glasgow/belfast and also london are quite fucked up. birmingham mostly makes the headlines for its ongoing islamization.

and a little pic from Bristol:



a lovely place, isnt it?

From my experience, Glasgow is a very nice city. The wikipedia page you've linked shows that Glasgow's low life expectancy is really low even after accounting for poverty and income. That's not evidence of it being fucked up, that's evidence of a not fully understood phenomenon that poverty can't explain. If anything, it's an argument against your point.

We could name rough areas of any city, but as you are arguing these ones are comparatively worse, you'll have to back up why Moss Side or Toxteth is worse than a rough area in other Western countries. I don't really understand where that assertion is coming from. Again, in my experience both Manchester and Liverpool are pretty similar to cities like Hamburg and Dublin.

Bristol is actually a rich city and ranked one of the best places to live in the UK, but on the other hand that photo is compelling evidence.

I've lived in Birmingham, it's fine. It's got a bad rep because of levels of income inequality but there are super rich areas:

According to the 2014 Mercer Quality of Living Survey, Birmingham was placed 51st in the world in, which was the second highest rating in the UK. This is an improvement on the city's 56th place in 2008


Don't get me wrong, Hamburg is clearly a richer city than Manchester overall, I'm just referring to the less affluent areas.
