You don't have to have a problem with multiculturalism but know that there are people who do.

in all countries there are groups of people who have issues with immigration/presence of different races.. you should know this.. America has a paralysing fear of mexican immigrants, and has systemically racist society...
at the moment in Britain there is a disillusionment with the political classes, the economy has been an issue and instead of facing the real issues, the media, run by billionaires and their political friends has been scapegoating migration and the degradation of 'britain'
there has been an increased vote in UKIP, which isn't the most tolerant of the parties, but this party typically does terribly domestically and I believe if the main parties sort themselves out, the voters will return.. GP is just angry, the government feels out of touch
