Rose Simkins is chief executive of Stop Hate UK. She says some people feel "unsafe":

Labour has accused Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson of making "crass" and "delusional" remarks about Jeremy Corbyn.
Writing in The Sun, Mr Johnson launched a deeply personal attack on the Labour leader - calling him a "mutton-headed old mugwump".
He also accused Mr Corbyn of being a threat to the UK - saying he opposed nuclear weapons and campaigned against Nato.
Wentworth and Dearne MP John Healey, has given his reaction this morning - he thinks the comments were offensive:
A bill named after Claudia Lawrence, who went missing from York eight years ago, could become law today when it's heard in the House of Lords.
Image source, PAMiss Lawrence, from the Heworth area of York, was 35 when she disappeared on her way to work at the University of York.
Four men, in their 50s, were arrested in 2015 in connection with her disappearance but were released from bail.
Her father, Peter Lawrence, who has been campaigning for changes to the powers available to relatives, called current legislation "mind-boggling".
If passed, Claudia's Law, or the Guardianship Bill, will help the families of missing people to manage their finances.

Fire Investigators determining the cause of a serious house fire in Harehills in Leeds have released this picture of the property.
Image source, West Yorkshire Fire ServiceEmergency services attended in the early hours of this morning and treated one male in his forties for smoke inhalation.
Police say the other occupant, a female in her twenties, did not require treatment.
The fire caused extensive damage to the house and also damaged neighbouring properties.
Harehills Lane remains closed to traffic between Nowell Mount and Nowell View to allow enquiries to continue.
These are expected to be in place for the morning and people are advised to find another route.
Earlier this week we told you about preservation work costing £1.5m which is to be carried out on some of the best preserved medieval city walls in England.
York's city walls run for 2.1 miles (3.4km) and include five main bars (gateways) and 45 towers.
We thought you might enjoy this mini-tour of them:
Secret files concerning one of the most high profile clashes of the 1980s miners' strike should be assessed and made public if possible, a government committee has said.
Image source, PAThe files contain "personal and sensitive information" about the confrontation between miners and police at Orgreave, South Yorkshire.
Home Affairs Select Committee chairwoman Yvette Cooper said there could be "no more secrets".
The government has ruled out an inquiry.
The committee has asked Home Secretary Amber Rudd to have files which are currently withheld until 2066 independently reviewed "to see if they can be released instead", with redactions if necessary.
Brewing beer and a broken bridge are two things Tadcaster are famous for.
But on Saturday, the once-split North Yorkshire market town is intent on redefining itself as host of one of Britain's marquee cycle races.
The Tour de Yorkshire women's race and stage two of the men's event will start on the now infamous rebuilt 18th Century bridge over the River Wharfe that partially collapsed following the Boxing Day floods of 2015, leaving the town of 6,500 people cut in two to traffic.
In the 13 months it took to reunite the town, footfall dropped dramatically and a detour of more than 10 miles was needed to reach the other side of Tadcaster town by road.
When the bikes line up on Saturday, a crowd of 15,000 to 20,000 is expected to descend on the sleepy town desperate to shake off a nightmare.

There's been another ram-raid on the Louis Vuitton store in central Leeds.
Police were called to Briggate at around 21:40 last night.
They say three vehicles were involved, one was abandoned at the scene, but two got away.
It's the second ram-raid on the store in the last three weeks.
Earlier this month several men were seen to repeatedly reverse a Subaru car (pictured below) into the shop to ram their way in before stealing items on display.
