Summary
A summer of protests outside asylum seeker hotels and a renewed debate about immigration have led to concerns British society is becoming increasingly fragmented.
And last week, figures released by the Home Office showed that religious hate crime recorded by police in England and Wales had reached a record high.
Some members of the Sikh community in the West Midlands have been escorting elderly people to their local gurdwara due to concerns about physical and verbal abuse.
What are the causes behind this rise in hate crime? How are minority groups responding, and what can be done to rebuild fragile communities?
Niall is joined by Rabbi Josh Levy, the co-lead of Progressive Judaism, and Sky's communities correspondent Lisa Holland.
