Nothing British about it. This idiocy exists world over. Remember when the wrong guy got pointed to as the Boston marathon bomber? Or when someone shot up a pizza restaurant because of a rumour about paedophiles? Or when people stormed their nation's capital because someone who lost two popular votes in a row told them the election was rigged? Or remember when people, to this day, still try to claim a president of their nation wasn't actually from their nation and demanded he prove it, while also, to this day, claiming his wife is trans?

To their credit, every example you provided is from an Anglosphere country lol.

Specifically every example I gave is from the US, because I assumed that person was from there.
