What impact does UK think immigration has on society?

More people in the UK think immigration has a negative impact on society compared to a positive one, according to a new survey carried out by YouGov exclusively for Sky News.

Across the UK, 43% of people asked thought that immigration has a negative impact on British society, compared to 35% who said it has a positive impact.

While the results varied according to location, only in London and in Scotland were people more likely to say that immigration has a positive impact.

Everything is fine in moderation. But migration has been far from moderate for 15 yrs. Its not racist to sort it out. Its necessary.

People still think only 67 million people live in the UK 🤣

I believe that the people who have a negative opinion on the subject of migration, is MUCH HIGHER than 43% Like way much higher!

Would love to know where these statistics are coming from.

Every person I’ve spoken to young or old are all agreeing this is having a massive negative affect on society

[Joker-ywhl]

As a general rule, those in middle class suburbs or gated communities think it's great. Those who don't, don't.

Millions of people living by a completely different culture pouring into the country with no id, qualifications or money? What could possibly go wrong?

[MC-bivk]

Immigration isn’t a bad thing. Mass immigration and particular imported demographics/ideas are what people want stopped

[twisteddancer]

Society has been totally broken because of it

[lizzys]

Vote reform the only person who would stop the boats is Nigel

[thefifthdoctor]

Still keep getting told there’s no money for funding.

[philzvids]

Those who say it has a positive impact are clearly not living in an area that is affected by it.

Also polling 2000 people and saying that's how the country feels is grossly misleading

[bhuddablue]

legal controlled migration verses illegal uncontrolled migration, two different things entirely.

[EarthSoulsAstrology]

Strange because 18-21 year olds actually support reform

[DrJams]

Unless a migrant earns more than 35k their contribution probably isn't a net gain for the country. 10k per year pension, NHS and there are in work benefits too.

[johnable]

The old remember what it was like in the past and the young don't know anything better than now. It's not difficult to figure this out.

[Wemdave]

Its bigger than your poll. Go out into the real world.

[Gazdavies]

Immigration is not a bad thing and has a positive effect, the issue Is the illegal immigration we have to enforce the security risk of unknown people entering the country

[massriccio]

Please please vote for Nigel he the only person that will stop the boats

[johnstrong]

VOTE REFORM LETS START TO SORT IT ALL OUT OUT OUT.
