I suspect it's growing that way: the "Teenager mentality" (talking in grunts, acting like the world is out to get them, you know the things) does seem to be lasting until the late twenties these days.

To quote Jordan Peterson - there is more variation within groups than across them.
So proportionately, there are as many jerks in the UK as there are in the US, France, Spain etc.

No, it's not common, just some trailer trash* wastrel who thinks she owns the whole town. And I am happy to report that she is being charged by the police for public order offences.
*Except that in the UK they tend to be given council houses.

It is certainly not unique to the UK. I see it the USA all the time. Curiously, when I was France and Germany and I did not see it all. Admittedly, this is a very small sample set.

In my 17 years on the continent of Europe I have not seen anywhere near (at all) the same level of violence as in Britain. The same level of scummynes, of vandalism.

Never been there, but even in the south of france people are not as bad as in the UK, and they are a pretty raw bunch down here. A lot of gun crime, but not the kind of scummy behaviour you get in the UK.

About 5% of the British population are utter scum who should be ignored, never let out of the country, and generally treated with disdain.
No, it is not common in the UK at all. It is exceptionally uncommon to see this level of rudeness except in this 5%.

Blessed be the Social Workers, for they believe that these scum are merely "misunderstood".

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Just a thought for you; would this have been news if it was common?

I think this one made the news because it was so beautifully self-illustrating and self-documenting rather than because it displayed some otherwise unknown level of rudeness.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

The post, below[^], begs the question:
When does CP add an audio track to the lounge?
Or, at least some short canned audio, like laughter for Q&A? Gunfire for the soapbox?
