UK, Ireland / TRUTH AND DELUSION ABOUT POLES IN UK [65]
Not this AGAIN...........................and AGAIN.................and AGAIN.................
Simply put...life is tough in most palces if you aint a native, don't speak the language and aint got enough money.
Anyone who places any crediblity in what they read in the press apart from the title on the top of first page is deluded.
This is not correct in my view.....it may well have been in N Ireland were Polish (CATHOLICS!!!!!!!!), moved into PROTESTANT working class areas.............ie local catholics wuda gotten the same abuse....!!!
Plus the Ireland is a much smaller country and has take per head of population 10 times what the UK has taken.......so IRELAND has been the true friend of all the East Europens peoples...sure people have been discriminated against....but so are locals!!!
You must remember...migrant workers, only want to earn money.....not integrate, not become part of society and then go home, they ghettoize themselves, and locals get suspicious...sounds familiar?
BUT overall, for the huge numbers that have come here......nearly all achieved what they wanted to acheive......if they want to go to the next step.......they need to try learning more English, integrate more, stay for extended periods....get their qualifications recognised, start out on a career....this would no different if they lived in any other country in the world!!!
Best wishes to all our migrant guests!!!

I believe the Republic of Ireland was the first English speaking place to start reporting the 'backlash' against Poles and the rise of unprovoked attacks on Polish people living there.
