Britons want foreigners to go
Big News Network.com Saturday 19th April, 2008
A BBC poll has revealed half of all Britons think immigrants should
be
encouraged to leave Britain.
And almost two-thirds of people in Britain fear race relations are
so
poor that tensions are likely to spill over into violence.
Of the 1,000 people polled, 60 percent said Britain had too many
immigrants.
In addition, 49 percent said that the government should encourage
immigrants to leave Britain, compared to 43 percent who said they should
not
and eight percent who did not know or declined to answer.
The pro****tion of people describing themselves as racially
prejudiced
was down to 20 percent, compared with 24 percent in 2005.
Asked if they thought immigration meant their local area didn't feel
like Britain any more, a quarter of the sample agreed - double the number
who felt this way three years ago.
Six out of 10 said immigration had made parts of Britain feel like a
foreign country.
