Yeah, that's the danger - that it gets so bad and people's frustrations boil over. It's like what the NF did in the 70s/80s - recruited from economically deprived areas and found a captive audience.
But this would be a problem anywhere: it's human nature to look for scapegoats.

Indeed but scapegoating should not be encouraged.
The Shankill area here had big issues with xenophobia against Polish people. Their community group decided to explain the Polish fought hard in the RAF in ww2. Xenophobia reduced.
Instead of doing that, while acknowledging there are issues too, real or whipped up, it's just pissing pole talk. I see this in many places btw not the UK. But that doesn't make it right.

No it's not. But it's made personal by continuous suggestions of immigration causing issues.
Handing people loaded guns really. At some point someone gets shot and we have already seen it with post brexit xenophobia.
There is just no middle ground, exploitation of anyone should be frowned upon. Local or not.
