Local flag shaggers (who love ethno-nationalism) immediately switched to “wel he dussent luk brittishh!!!!” as soon as it was announced that the attacker is from here
I'm American and I've heard that response many times, sadly. There are a lot of people in my country who say the word "immigrant" with a hard R, as it were. My advice, just look them dead in the eyes and ask, "Oh, what does a British person look like then?" Then, you get to watch them struggle to explain how their racist statement wasn't actually racist, and how they're a good person, according to themselves. Social humiliation is one of the only non-violent anti-fascist strats that actually work.
The crazy thing is they’ll use “indigenous english” and “proud anglo-saxon” in the same sentence. Can’t be both. To be indigenous to england you’d have to trace your lineage to before the angles, the saxons, the jutes and the romans
