Asylum seekers say Brits very polite, welcoming: Survey

London, June 14 (ANI): A nation-wide survey has revealed that asylum seekers find most British people polite, welcoming and obsessed with football.

The survey questioned 327 refugees and asylum seekers exiled from their homes and families by war and human rights abuses in countries such as Zimbabwe, Ethiopia and Afghanistan.

Half of those polled said either the Queen or Princess Diana was the British person they most admired, with 41 percent choosing David Beckham.

According to The Mirror, over half said they either strongly agreed or tended to agree that the average British person welcomed refugees to the UK.

The poll was commissioned by the charity Refugee Action as part of Refugee Week. (ANI)
