UK, Ireland / Polish Nationals residing in the UK WANTED!!! [11]

Thank you for the interest this far!

ukpolska: I think that you may have mis-interpreted what I was saying. The documentary intends to look into the reasons why Polish nationals (and others - the documentary focuses on those from outside Europe) arrive in Britain with professional positions and are forced to work in the unskilled sector. I am fully aware that a lot of Poles (and other nationals) come to the UK and are only able to work as kitchen porters and I am unsure why you said 'poor professional Pole[s]' as I had not advertised for this. I appriciate that there are success stories (as there are from Brits moving abroad) but my documentary must very scoped and because of this, I have chosen a question which I would like answered!

Liza: Thank you very much for this advice and Balham is not too far away from my university and so may try that out - thank you...

Unfortunately no, the university is to say the least a little stingy with money and a trip is likely to be out of the question.

If you don't mind me asking are you Polish yourself and do you live in the UK. If not, or the documentary subject doesn't apply to you, do you know of anyone that may be interested?

Best, john_arnold

Hi Jareck8,

I was interested in Polish nationals as they are the biggest immigrating nationals than most countries - according to the BBC, they reside in Britain in as many as 500 per day.

I am however, looking to use most nationalities, ideally one person from an EU country, the other from the rest of the world. And, of course they must be skilled in their home country.

Best, john_arnold
