"There were few jobs for them to get not involving ferocious competition and the sense of frustration that Poles in their 20s felt led to a desire to migrate that was emotional: the idea of "**** Poland, this country is hopeless and will never get better".
Add that to the fact that the Polish job market in the provinces is dominated by nepotism and favouritism, then many concluded that Britain just must be a land of milk and honey. Not a bleak and deracinated site for warehouses and cheap temporary labour.
Basically, a lot of migrants were motivated by neurotic impulses. Britainwas seen as 'Cool' with a 'vibrant youth culture'. British Council propaganda had skillfully manipulated these perceptions in the run up to Poland's entry into the EU.
The sexual motive was there too .Above average looking girls could get a nice English gentleman as a husband and enhance their status. Trading their looks and comparing the "fat" English women unfavourably.
The scale of the migration amogst young people was not only economics: like all people, Poles were motivated by subconscious craving about what a better life would be that could be classified as illusions in a land where many still buy into a kitschy Catholicism that outsiders find incomprehensible."
