First-time voters want Britain to remain a haven for refugees
YouGov poll shows 8 out of 10 people are proud of Britain's legacy of protecting those fleeing violence, war and persecution

An overwhelming majority of young voters wants Britain to maintain its tradition of offering sanctuary for refugees, according to a poll that challenges the political belief that an anti-asylum ticket will woo the electorate.

Eight out of 10 people who will be eligible to vote for the first time next May said they were proud of Britain's legacy of protecting people fleeing violence, war and persecution, while three-quarters urged the government to maintain the UK's reputation for offering a haven for people, particularly children.

The poll – released to coincide with Refugee Week, which starts on Monday – examined the attitudes of the 3.3 million people who could vote for the first time next year and, with 1.35 million indicating that they will definitely vote, groups are using the findings to demand politicians reconfirm their commitment to asylum seekers.

Support for protecting child refugees is most robust among next year's potential debut voters, with 82% in favour. An accompanying poll of British adults aged over 21, also by YouGov, revealed that nearly seven in 10 believe that Britain should be proud of its history of offering protection to refugees; only 15% disagreed.

Refugee Council chief executive Maurice Wren said: "Our heritage of offering safety to those in need is just as vital today as it was in the past, with the Syrian conflict fuelling the greatest refugee crisis of our time.

"Over the last decade, some feared that Britain's commitment to protecting and supporting refugees – children and adults – might be weakening. This new poll finds that it's actually getting stronger. Protecting and helping vulnerable people is an intrinsic part of being British."

The young will be left with a lifetime of debt courtesy of you and Philagain.

Well done Spassy.

As for the old you left wing bigots lead by the Guardian have suppressed reasonable debate about immigration for 4 decades and branded everyone racist who veered away from left wing ideology.

It is why I call you Spassy.

Good night Spassy.

Scapegoating.


Look at what has been said that people believe immigration has been bad for the economy, now where does such views come from if not the media and web itself? People do not form these views or could ever view such views on their own, unless they have been influenced by others. Thus there is much to be said for those who play on the fear and susceptibility of people which draws some people to poor an incorrect conclusions

Do you believe that all views and opinions are formed by the media Didge?

Do you believe that if the Daily Mail didn't have an article about the bad economy, nobody would have a clue?

Do you never leave your house?  Do you pay your bills?  Do you work, have you applied for jobs, been to the job centre?  Do you talk to other people who are "living"?

No?  Oh, you just read the Mirror and Huffington Post?  That explains it all then.

If you don't see that the Daily Mail and allies are trying to make the UK's songs, you're missing an essential part of what's going on today.

So immigration HAS to be cut somewhere along the line or the whole of this country will have to be concreted over to accomodate 200+ million people. To dismiss concerns over the numbers of immigrants coming here as 'racist' is childish and doesn't fool many people anymore.

It was about getting more blacks and other ethnics into university.


We all know who they are talking about when they say 'poor and disadvantaged'.


It's only today where poor performance by some white kids is being acknowledged and talk of actually doing something about it.


If only they had the same level of money given to them than all the black and ethnic 'poor and disadvantaged' schools were given over the last labour govt.....

Tommy Monk wrote:Who is the real racist...???
You are

Someone who surports a meritocracy resulting in whatever colour university graduates are.
The study had nothing to do with ethnic minorities or the colour of skin, only you brought in that equation, because you are racist

Or someone who wishes to lower the entry requirements for only.some 'poor and disadvantaged'(read black and ethnics) so as to socially engineer the ethnic make up of universities so there are more black and ethnics in there at the expense of others who had higher grades and were denied????
You see you only see blacks as disadvantaged showing how ignorant and racist you are again when many whites are disadvantaged also, so how would this be advantaging only ethnic minorities when it woul also advantaged many whites? You see this is why you are a dumb racist, as seen your views do not hold up to scrutiny
I pick the first option.
Which is flawed

You and your leftie 'progressive' scum bags will ost for the second option.
Here we go again, the only repsonse a Neo Nazi can come out with is to claim any one left of his views is left wing

Because you are the real racists and think skin colour is more important than actually getting the correct grades...!!!!
No as seen you do not even understand what racism is because you are a Neo Nazi, I am bored with idiots who do not understand politics call me left wing so anyone who does will have the same compliment returned in kind and I shall refer to them as Neo Nazi's



Twat!
