Britain has a long history of acid attacks (mostly white on white) and of anti-immigrant hatred, which reaches back to their colonial era. But since the 1930s, it has been organized into a fascist or, more recently, neo-fascist ideology which appeals especially to lower-class, unemployed, white British youth. 

Among the popular sites for this are English and Proud https://www.facebook.com/englishandproudofit/



They fancy themselves modern Knights Templar defending Britain from "cultural suicide." Since Tomlin was drinking from that fountain,and reportedly shouted "Britain first" when he attacked, I imagine that's where he got the anti-immigrant, anti-muslim focus. https://discover-the-truth.com/2017/06/29/john-tomlin-who-threw-acid-on-two-muslims-followed-anti-muslim-facebook-pages/

The idea that subhuman, brown foreigners are destroying white British national culture is whipped to a fever pitch via right wing websites and social media. Anti-immigrant hate crimes have been on the rise since Brexit.

That is why we should all be concerned about the return of fascism and neofascism to Europe. It will prove attractive to US Xenophobes as well.
