    >But when those on the right talk about civil war and riots on the streets, willing on violent protest and inflaming opinion against immigrants, they are cynically fostering fear that attracts recruits.

    Who told the British it was a good idea to import the United States sociopolitical atmosphere? Because this article is about the UK. But with just a few changes of the name of the nation and the name of the parties involved you could easily be talking about the US.
