The far-right has been more active in England and Northern Ireland than in Scotland .
Some of the most vile extremists imaginable are Scottish .
But it's absurd to pretend there’s not something specific about these riots when it comes to England and N Ireland .
If poverty alone was the cause, then Scotland would be in flames too.
Wales has also, so far, been exempt, and it isn’t some egalitarian idyll.
History, and immigration mechanics, has limited the ability of racists to gain traction in Scotland .
Over time, Scotland experienced a slower, rolling form of immigration.
This allowed Scotland to culturally acclimatise to immigration in a way which didn’t happen in England - thereby reducing the power of racist propaganda.
