There’s plenty of racists sufficiently divided by other factors, political and social, it’d be impossible to collaborate on any scale.
Thatcher decimated Scotland. There’s no amount of refugees will convince the majority of the population otherwise.

I tend to agree … the Unwashed are less apt to coalesce around one cause in sufficient numbers. Also, it never stops raining here so they’re more likely to consume their white lightning and Buckfast in the comfort of their own living rooms.
Polis Scotland would appear to have a similar view, as they’re only paying overtime for one van of very bored looking coppers.
