The UK situation is weird: on a day to day basis you notice almost none of that in most places, and while the gang problem is real in certain places it's also massively overhyped by right-wing politicians.

The big tensions are all anti-"immigrant" and of course Brexit and now the poor pandemic response. You can't tell people to ignore the deaths and hospitalisations of people they actually know. While most of the consequences of Brexit haven't hit yet, there is going to be a huge mess when the interim arrangements expire at the end of this year and the government has still done almost nothing to prepare.
