Glasgow - a large city - succeeds in being peacefully multicultural, despite having been massively impoverished by the Thatcher years and subsequent de-industrialisation. We have a large refugee population as well as many asylum seekers.
When the Home Office tried to deport two Sikh men locally in a dawn raid in 2021, the community came together to peacefully protest it, despite it being a mostly Muslim neighbourhood and it being the start of the Eid celebrations. The van couldn't move and eventually it had to give up, on the advice of Police Scotland (NB: the protest was entirely peaceful, it was just sheer force of numbers)
The poll tax (community charge) was introduced in Scotland - and highly unpopular - but it was only when it was introduced in England and there were riots there that it was eventually abolished 
and yes, I know it was a long time ago
I wonder why there appears to be a difference in reactions?
There are bampots here, especially of the football variety, along with sectarianism 
- but thus far they've not been taken in by the EDL type agitators.
