"The UK has opted against taking part in the relocation scheme and has its own plan to resettle migrants directly from Syrian refugee camps."
The UK used its opt out. The UK did not have to accept a single Syrian immigrant/refugee that it didn't want, the EU immigration issue is not related to Syrians.
Wow that's actually completed unrelated to the question I asked good job. This does nothing to prove that negative attitudes towards immigration in the UK aren't related to Syrian refugees. Leave voters very well either could have
1) thought that being part of the EU made them obligated to accept Syrian refugees (which it DOES to some extent) and if they left they could stop or
2) been completely unaware of the fact that they were taking refugees in outside of the EU system.
