Undoubtedly Glasgow has some problems (which are not uncommon in most other UK cities), but as RF states, albeit slightly inaccurately and overenthusiastically, the city has made great strides in the last 20 years and I'm sure will continue to do so in the next 20. To describe the place as a dump etc is totally inaccurate. Apart for anything else, if things are to improve further such silly and ill-informed comments do nothing to help and are of no use to anybody.
Aside from that, 90% of this has nothing to do with PIK (or GLA for that matter).
