Not surprised at all David, I visited Manchester this year, a real let down and no one seemed to speak English, it’s a hotbed for extremism.
A FORMER spy chief has suggested there are more terrorist suspects operating in Manchester than in London.
I don't know which areas you visited, but it's a city divided. Whalley Range, Crumpsall, Audenshaw, Wythenshawe I wouldn't walk round at night. But you don't have to travel very far to see the large detached houses of Didsbury, Altrincham, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge. Even parts of Stretford and Urmston are gentrified, and Salford is another success story, given Hazel Blears had the ear of ministers with government money pumped into her constituency.
Notwithstanding, sad to say, if you import Third World citizens, who haven't been educated in British schools and don't understand how society works you are going to encounter Third World problems and grievances.
