Take a look-see. Unless you hate stats. Then run away.
My hypothesis simply looks at the positive or negative role of immigrants in British society and where opinions throughout the various regions fall. It was my hypothesis that London would have the most positive view on immigration whereas a more rural and industrial setting such as the North West would have a more negative view. Overall, the North area of England had by far the highest number of respondents who had a pro-immigration stance, with 13.0% of citizens agreeing that immigrants bring a very good influence to the United Kingdom. However, on the whole the vast majority of Northerners at 47.8% felt that immigrants bring a somewhat bad influence to their country. Overall, however the Greater London area had the highest percentage of people suggesting that immigrants bring either a very good influence or a somewhat good influence with a combined total of 66.2%. This was anticipated as there are plenty of jobs of London and immigrants would be more likely to accept lower paying posts as opposed to the average Brit. Thus, most Londoners are not afraid of seeing new faces and cultures and are more than likely to welcome and embrace foreigners. London is the most diverse city in the United Kingdom and it could easily be the most tolerant city within that country as well. Again, as anticipated, the North West area of England took the prize for the most negative opinion regarding immigrants. The North West had the highest percentage of respondents who said that immigrants bring a very bad influence at 28.3%. The North West also had overall the most negative view, with a combined total of 71.1% of people suggesting that immigrants bring either a somewhat bad or very bad influence to the United Kingdom. Due to the industrialized and rural setting of the North West this did not come as much of a surprise. My hypothesis proved correct as an urban environment (Greater London) had a significantly more positive attitude towards immigration as opposed to a rural and industrial environment (North West).

This is utterly random. the structure's all over the place. The argument is barely cogent. The stats are not backed up.
On top of all that, the facts are wrong. You call the North West a 'rural and industrial environment' as opposed to London that is 'urban'. erm... Is that the North-West that includes Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds, and the second-highest density population in the UK after London? How can that not be urban?
I could go on, but this post isn't worth it.

Indeed, I took both a T and a Z score reading, as well as an analysis ov variance between groups, and found a trend with an r^2 value a mere 0.1233 of from your own. I then took a statistical regression the the multivariable complex number range between -4 and i, to find there was undoubtedly a (3i+8)^n degree of variant radiation between londoners and scots.
