Don't know about the UK but in AU the rule is not give way to the right

Oddly enough, if they are heading your way and are on the roundabout
already, they are on your right.


The point being if they are aproaching on your right but not already on
the roundabout you do not have to give way (but you would be silly to
force your way if they were barreling along at a rate of knots)

But advice in the UK seem to say give way to approaching vehicles but I
have not read the UK legislation

Only if a car on your right has entered the roundabout should you give way.
For large roundabouts there may even be enough distance for you to enter in
front of the other car without hindering it, but for pesky mini-roundabouts
it's safer to give way before the car actually enters, as you say. The OP
entered the mini-roundabout after the car on the right had entered and was
passing him, and then pretended to ram it.
