The fires of this have been stoked by politicians and media over a number of years and this is the entirely predictable outcome. In fact, I said it was a likely outcome in the general election thread, I didn't expect it to happen so quickly though. The unpleasant rhetoric that has been spouted by Farage, Johnson, Patel etc, and gleefully promoted by the predominantly right wing media is massively complicit, to the point that I think Farage should be charged with inciting racial hatred, the vicious, nasty piece of shit.
