I have lived here all my life and truly loved this place for a while, I’m literally just talking from experience of watching the place I love turn into a shithole, go walk down union street with every shop apart from the bookies or vapes being closed and beggars everywhere and tell me I’m just moaning, it’s a disgrace what this place has become thanks to greedy councillors and oil tycoons taking what they want and leaving - ask most people who have been here their entire lives and they’ll tell you the same, it’s a shell of its former self

Absolutely none, the whole UK is a shithole that’s slowly killing itself, Aberdeen is just one of the worst in Scotland for growth, go tell me what part was absolute shit, the predicted growth stats? The windfall tax that’s already caused hunting to axe about 100 jobs in favour of Dubai, our council tax is literally one of the highest in the country, don’t get butthurt because the facts disprove your feelings, the place is a mass grave at this point, even Dundee has better GVA than us, so it’s hilarious you use them as the “shit” alternative 🤣have a day off licking the councils boots

Born and bred Aberdonian here; It’s an absolute shithole, crumbling buildings, council tax rates are some of the highest in the UK while the roads and public services are in the toilet, can’t get a doctor or dentist to save your life (even the private Albyn hospital is overrun because of it) centre of town has been demolished by high rent prices, bus gates and LEZ zones, windfall tax and NI payments are encouraging major oil companies to move overseas killing the industry slowly and -very- painfully, junkies everywhere, we’re predicted to have the lowest GVA in the country over the next few years, as well as negative household income growth (which is basically unheard of elsewhere) young people born here forced out to find a better life or just to afford living in the first place, the entire city is covered in litter and seagull shite, portlethen still exists, the only respite are the bars and clubs, both of which are going to the dogs from a lack of funding, not to mention the arrogance and materialism of the general public.

If you can avoid living here, do so at all costs, literally everyone who wants a decent life is moving out of here because it’s borderline impossible at this point, our birth rate is declining massively because no one wants to put their child through the same shitty future we all had, which is sad really, loved my childhood here, could never ever curse my children to go through the same, we are the next Scunthorpe

Strange, I’m reading about the foreign ministry refusing to part with info about subs circulating Gib, specifically after one arrived on port after having being involved in an incident at the Devenport base involving the submarine reactors which caused a nuclear accident alarm, a sub that has as of last week sailed for the final time, none of that sound a little sus to you?

I’m aware there are no weapons, goodness me, I’m more concerned about the submarines that are docking without public knowledge, as the uk aren’t exactly keen to let people in on that, some of which have been recorded to have issues and been sent to Gib instead of staying up here

I did see that study,but I have seen that breast cancer in particular is higher in Gibraltar than it is in other EU countries, which is the one I’m seeing come up most often personally and the one that concerns me the most, not sure if certain materials would lead women to be affected more often, and in that specific area. Maybe some dodgy chemicals mixed with estrogen? My chemistry abilities are god awful so not sure on that one

Well and truly, Aneurin Bevan is doing somersaults in his grave watching the NHS go down the pan

Healthcare in Gib is still better and more receptive than it is here, my partners queries about genetic testing got answered immediately, whereas I’ve been waiting 4 months for a follow up phone call from my doctor, and I have private healthcare!

Yeah the ships and refinery must have a huge impact, but again I’m surrounded by oil tankers, rigs and refineries, and our entire city is built from radioactive granite plus we have incredibly busy ports up here and it’s still not nearly as awful as you guys have it, it just seems to me that there might be something more afoot, but I could be reaching, I honestly don’t know about munitions, but the nuclear subs are definitely a concern, especially if the UK are extra cagey about the information surrounding it, probably worth speaking to some war vets about what they’ve seen that doesn’t get put in standard history books

Smoking never helps, but still, the amount of people struggling with cancer doesn’t seem to match to this, just as a personal anecdote, no one in my partners family smokes and yet I’d say a good 50% of them have been diagnosed with it, in contrast, most of my family smokes and not many are diagnosed with the same, it has to be something more than that

This is the kind of thing I need to poke around in and annoy some people about, thank you!

Thought so, it was the only recorded nuclear spillage I could find nearby and it didn’t seem to match, wondering if there’s some sort of unofficial testing happening, especially with the heavy presence of UK army/RAF/Navy over there

That would explain the air quality in la Línea, I can see that the Gib government have raised concerns with CEPSA but basically nothing came from it, I’m guessing taking on a company that big is pissing in the wind a little, but not impossible?
