UK, Ireland / 800K of Polish immigrants in UK don't pay taxes -what do the poles think [190]

That's about the stretch of it, I feel the same way.

Self-ingratiating academics emerge from such courses. Fountains of nearly useless information.

Studying law was a pleasure and really opens the mind. Sociology does in its own way but is too theoretical. Law is living and can be applied more readily.

How do u know? ;)

They always try to get to the bottom of things. Life Freddy Mercury who took it hard when Brian told him he'd leave the band. Brian had told him that he'd be behind him all the way, LOL

It didn't change a thing, he was afraid that I'd somehow lose respect for him but I had no basis for doing so.

Poland is largely a homophobic country. To deny ur genetic disposition indefinitely is just wrong. If sb is gay, then they are gay. To me, it is abnormal but not an aberration. There is a difference.

My friend from Scotland was gay and I didn't notice for a long time. He didn't mention it until one day. He suppressed it and such repression was hurting him. Letting the cat out of the bag helped him a lot.

Good 2 c u quoting legal provisions with teeth. That really backed up what u were trying 2 say. Good on ye lad ;)

Polish mass immigration is a CURRENT problem for many so we should focus on that. A possible deterrent may be the increase in fares by many airlines. In 2004, it was so cheap but the increase in fuel prices has had a knock-on effect.

I really know why Poles leave noimmi. OK, u may say that they shouldn't fill up our island but conditions here for many leave a lot to be desired.

Back to the thread, tax evasion/avoidance are taken seriously so the relevant culprits will be prosecuted. The tax authorities see all.

Even the Poles I have talked to agree that too many unskilled Poles went across, more dreamlike than with any practical ambition. How do u think a Conservative government would tackle the problem? It is very hard to enforce a capping system as u propose, although I like the thought.

I know, I have heard. I will resign from my firm after the end of the next school year. I am entering the second year of my company and it will still be 300PLN. It's only when u hit the 3rd year do things begin to change.

I pay over 800PLN in tax a month and seldom use public services. What a waste!! Paying soldiers to go and fight 'terrorists', hmm...I don't want to sound conservative as I believe in socialist ideas to an extent but the question is the level. If I were in Britain, I would vote Liberal Democrat.

Absolutely spot on in every way welshguy. I also have my own business for which I pay ZUS and now they are suggesting a 30% tax rate on some surplus income over the set threshold. I was in hospital in 2005 and I didn't pay ZUS then as I was on a different contract. I had a special form. Now, I pay 300PLN a month for nothing.

They have a right to take up work in our country so that makes it Scotland's problem. U can't just ignore this reality. Britain signed the treaty back in 1972/73 noimmi. Please tell me that u have read the Van Binsbergen case. That'll tell u all u need to know. Freedom of work. I'll even cite u some obiter dictum if u want but the ratio decidendi is the most important.

Who said the Poles were criticizing the Scots?

Got to say that noimmigration has a point but he needs to back up his case with more official statistics and also acknowledge that the Scots are some of the worst for claiming benefits too. I say this as a Scot.

There is some substance to what u r saying noimmi, but please provide reliable data for credibility.

Don't blame the Poles for taking that which is being given to them. U will learn that the world is not a meritocracy noimmi.
