Is Britain racist?

Tariq Mahmood, for Ukip, says that the country has made progress away from racism in Britain.

Krishnan asks the audience if they have experienced a racists incident in the last 5 years and at least 20 per cent of the audience

A man in the crowd responds: “What has happened is that we have taught people the language they should use and how to conduct themselves, what is underneath hasn’t changed a great deal. we have made inroads, I accept that but it is nowhere near gone.

Another man says that although his father is an immigrant who voted Labour for the next, increasingly for the “more educated” next generation they have gone too far left. He says that Ukip is a fruitcake – there are lots of nuts but there are bits of “sweet fruit” such as their policies on immigration that are appealing.

Maajid Nawaz, for the Lib Dems says this is a ongoing struggle and we must remain vigilant. but he admits there is no one policy that can fix this. He bravely adds that Nick Clegg went head to head with Nigel Farage and that the polls say that he lost.

He says that he has been stop and searched before and even had his DNA taken from him and praises Theresa May’s reforms to the stop and search rules.
