Are the Poles in England hated? [450]
Its always easier to point fingers at someone else when theres a problem,
I agree with you. The truth is, people make out that the UK was perfect until a couple of years ago. Unemployment, poor health service, poor education provision, they were all problems before. If anything, the arrival of the Poles has pushed the government into thinking about these problems instead of coming out with propaganda like "our NHS waiting list dropped by 50% last year". Of course it did, half the people on the list probably died waiting!
Anyway, I would imagine that unemployment levels have dropped since the Poles arrived - mostly because the Poles have filled the jobs the British unemployed consider "below" them.
Excuse my rant :)
I like the Polish coming here I have a little country inside a city,
if that makes sense?
I have Polish stores, restaurants, pubs..etc
Makes sense to me. I don't spend enough time with my Polish friends but when we get together it's always a fun time and I am always made to feel a part of their group (I am the only non-Polish person when we get together), we don't have so many restaurants or pubs here yet but I look forward to more. Plenty shops though even if I don't often have enough time to visit them. :)
and lets not froget about all the beautiful ladies:)
Or handsome men... ;)
