“An international survey of almost 22,000 adults across 29 countries found British people had the third-most enthusiastic outlook towards refugees, just behind Spain and New Zealand.”

Edit: Just found the actual report by Ipsos. We are #1, not #2. Fixed the title.

Edit 2: We’re also the most likely to agree that refugees make a positive contribution to our country (70%). And here’s the breakdown on the central question:

    You wouldn’t be able to tell based on our quotas, which are some of the lowest per capita in the world.

      I mean, this pretty much explains it doesn’t it. The higher per capita countries are more likely to want to slow down refugee intake, and the lowest ones like us a more likely to be happy to increase the number we take.
