Full on roaming EDL gangs. Pretty insane stuff. This article doesn't do it justice. Most of the footage I've seen has been on Instagram.
The craziest part is they started in response to a misogynist terror attack in Southport. The suspect of the terror attack was Welsh born, with parents from Rwanda, and is most likely Christian. So naturally they started lynching Muslims.
EDIT: This next part is dubious.
Apparently before it all kicked off there was a russian clickfarm that posted a fake article calling the suspect 'Ali Muhammad' or some sort of very stereotypical islamic name, before all the real information had come out.
I mean, not that you can really blame it all on that. It was just a fuse waiting to be lit.

Isn't british culture pretty exceptionalist. "We british have been isolated on this island, we've developed into superior beings than the continental European, we don't need them"
By british they almost certainly mean only white englishmen, welshman and Scotsman etc.
Typically they just mean white englishmen and nobody else. Scot and Welsh attitudes are typically far more international and less supremacist.
There's something to be said about the lowland scots and imperialism In the 19th century, but it seems they've turned their back on that and become oppressed by the english themselves.
Wales also participated in the empire, not as much as lowland scots, but they did.
For sure, but attitudes have certainly changed since then.
On the map of where these riots happened, none of them were in Wales or Scotland. And only one was in NI.
yes, that is v true and accurate
