So yeah, anti-islamic slurs, attacking immigrants, burning down mosques, the whole works. The UK has a serious racism problem.

Sounds like there needs to be some kind of serious investigation of the police. Places where the locals stood up the rioters backed down immediately but everywhere else they were just allowed to do their thing unchallenged.

Massive anti-racist protests shut the rioters down entirely last night. Congrats to the British!

You don't see the police at Nazi movements for the same reason you don't see Peter Parker and Spiderman together.
