What does the UK think of Manchester nowadays?

Question

As a resident of Manchester myself, I'm certain this city has changed dramatically in the last 10 years or so, since the bomb at least. In the 90s we had a terrible reputation, "Gunchester" springs to mind. It's nothing like this here anymore, but what do the people of the UK think of Manchester nowadays, has it lost its reputation as a crime den and, more importantly, do you view it as the second city of the UK or not? If so, why? If not, why?

Thanks in advance to everyone.

I can't speak for the U.K., only for myself. The centre of Manchester is okay I suppose, as is the new Salford Quays development, but too many of the outer areas are grey, violent concrete slums. The nearness to Mamchester of the Peak District National Park is a great plus and so is the good public transport and the now very fast train service to London

it really is truly unrealistic depending on the actual undeniable reality that there is unquestionably some targeted Muslim immigration contained in the large cities which makes it seem that the united kingdom (and Western Europe) is being "flooded" with Muslims. besides the undeniable fact that, if one seems at inhabitants distribution, that is sparkling that with maximum immigration tendencies in historic past, immigrants have a tendency to hover round large cities, and there'll be a extreme visibility of them. So, the easy answer on your question is "no", 0.5 of the folk contained in the united kingdom at the prompt are not Muslim, besides the undeniable fact that that is achieveable that a huge variety of everlasting electorate contained in the large cities might want to certainly be Muslim.
