Probably you have no issues with decent Poles in UK. And it's good. Thing is from my very first day in UK i don't feel comfortable. So many brits kept remainding me: "This is not your country" - that's what i heard a thousand of times. Those who got known me better started apologized for being rude and racist towards me. I don't want to steal your country or your national identity. I have mine!. I do appreciate that i can work here. Im so happy about my job (i could say: i'm changing the London for better looking place) im proud that i can work for UK despite i'm still polish and i always be. During my almost 4 yrs stay in UK i didn't use my rights to take benefits even when i was entitled to. 95% of Poles are catholic/christian so regarding your national legacy you should be happy about our presence in UK. We're doing a better balance between muslims/hindu and christians in christian country. I heard some moaning about 21 mil pound given to Poles as benefits in last year. Why nobody won't say it out loud that we've brought about 1 billion pounds in taxes for British economics ??
