That's not what the question asked or answered. The gap is between how much people think various issues threaten the country as a whole versus how much they are personally affected by them. There is little contradiction in e.g. thinking crime is a big problem without being a direct victim of crime.

There is a level of pluralistic ignorance about immigration in the country - people do tend to think the majority view is more hardline than their own - but the fact that they (wrongly) think immigration is a net negative for Britain is noteworthy in itself.
