Comment on The trouble with England – why rioting in the UK has not spread to Scotland and Wales

Racism is mostly unrelated to actual immigration. In Germany the east has comparable immigration percentages to Scotland but leads the nation in fascist poll numbers by a huge margin. Economic factors are orders of magnitude more important

Economic factors don’t correlate either. It’s tied directly to mentions in the media.

The least they see different people the more they fear them.

  Yeah if they would meet more immigrants in person and not only in the fear mongering of social media or the right wing press there would be less racism.
