Britain is a diverse and tolerant society, and all people living here in Cambridgeshire need to be reassured that they are valued members of our community.  Racism, xenophobia and hate crimes have no place here.  The recent rise in racism, xenophobia and hate crimes must be condemned.  We must not allow hate to become acceptable, and we must ensure that the necessary support and resources are in place to fight and prevent racism and xenophobia.
