Why do Poles come to England? [514]
Ok guys,
this seems to have turned into are other countries better than poland, well on that note in some cases you could say yes, If poland was so good and could support all its people, offer them jobs, pay them a decent wage etc etc then the Polish would have no need to come to the UK to work in such numbers.
It is my understanding that there were just over 400,000 registered Polish Nationals working in the UK, that is an awful lot of Polish who seem to feel they can have a better life in this country rather than their own. I'm also sure there are Poles here who arrived before Poland joined the EU there for they were illegals and will not appear on this register.
I'm not trying to say Poland is a bad country of course not and the Polish like any nation i'm sure have a lot to be proud of, history, exports, inventions and so on and so on.
I have not complaints about Polish people or anybody from the EU coming to the UK if they want to better themselves however it does annoy me when they arrive and declare, 'well back in Poland its better' because because because, this makes me feel like saying, 'well you know where the airport is, you can fly back to where you came from'
I don't think i need to go into any other detail why the UK offers a better quality of life for Poles and other nationals than their own countries and i haven't even touched on economic factors, government rule and open opportunities.
thnx
