MORE than one in four Europeans hold hostile views towards minority groups, a major study in eight countries, including Britain, suggests.
At least a quarter of Europeans have negative feelings towards Muslims and almost a third have hostile views regarding immigrants, according to a new poll of 12,000 people from Sweden, France, Germany, Britain, Hungary, Poland and Italy.
The report, which analyses the state of the far right in Europe, found that negative feelings towards Roma people was even higher, at more than a third.
