As reported by the BBC:

According to a study carried out by NatCen, approximately one third of people in Britain describe themselves as racially prejudiced. Whether this is just a "natural" response to economic difficulties (blame recent arrivals, Goodness Gracious Me just did an excellent sketch based on the classic "I look down on him" where a native Brit, a naturalised Indian and a recent arrival reprised the sentiment), a response to the muck-raking by UKIP and the BNP, a reaction to a rise in fundimentalist Islam or a combination of factors is not clear to me.
Of course this is all about self reporting and self identification so it could just be that people are just more aware of their own biases and that "true" racism isn't as bad as it was 30 years ago.
