Anyone remember the 80s when lots of British people were forced to work abroad and send teh money home? the series 'Auf Weidersehn Pet' was based on it

I wasnt talking about WWII I was talking about more recent times...but never mind.

As for more recent times Poland has had the pleasure of communism! While the UK has enjoyed outstanding, although unbalanced regionally, economic growth!

Fight a long side us , so that we can live in freedom after the second world. Polish people lost their freedom as a direct result of the spineless political decisions taken after the war. Polish soldiers died on the battlefields of Europe so that their nation could be rewarded with an illegal communist system that ruined the country's economy and ripped apart, by use of secret police, the very fabric that binds a nation together.

Hmm... i don't like people like you teashoci. That was just a racist opinion without a decent reason. All these swear words about Polish people !!! Do you know that you can be sued for these insults? It easy to find you from your IP address. Be aware mate!

I know a few poles in here (UK), I'm a pole myself and believe me or not, none of them take a single penny of government of this country. I know there is a some number of poles doing so, but is not a general thing! You just can't judge everybody the same measurement because of their nationality. Or maybe you just envy our work ethic and mentality. Maybe you think that in a few years time many many poles will took over a lawyer and solicitor jobs ??

..tell you what. It will be like that because poles are very hard working persons and employers start to seeing so !!!

re: these polaks are infecting the place

- Not only this type scribbles nonsense about the Poles causing harm to 'British' economy (he's allegedly from Scotland - why doesn't he talk about Scvotland?), but spreads racism towards us - right here, on the 'Polish' forum.

Moderator, can you do something about it? Kick out this hate-spewing Nazi racist and venomous liar. What he scribbles qualifies for a human rights complaint.

The Poles have the right to come to work in Britain. They are invited to do that, and appreciated as workers. If we were a disadvantage to the British economy, we wouldn't be taken in, pure and simple.

By the way, Johann is right in suggesting this type isn't 'British,' that is Scottish at all. I've met quite a few Scots - real Scots, from Scotland, that is - and all of them were warm-hearted and friendly towards us Polish folks. Is this type a foreigner, perhaps Thirld world creature, living in Scotland, or one of the few Scots that are exception from the rule of friendliness?

Out with the Nazi hate-monger.

Hmmm...what a question? let me go get the tape measure and I'll let you know !!

Hmm... i don't like people like you teashoci.

I'll second that, he gives the British Education standards a bad name!

18 years on?? maybe people should look foward and not back, look at Ireland and their economy and their past history...

we british avaed the poles from the nazis, now we have to pay them money through the eu. what do they contribute to the uk ..... nothing.

Among all your other stupid statements I have to take issue with this one. Tell me how many British Soldiers fought in Poland to remove the Nazi? Put this against the 400K Poles who fought for the British Army in Africa, Italy, France and Germany and they were told they could even go back to Poland as Roosevelt handed Poland to an even worse regime in the form of the Communists.

Poles fought to save Britain from the Nazi's not the other way round.

People, although teaschoci is making some pretty big statements about polish people in the UK it does not necessarily make him a racist, nazi or anything else you might call him, its simply his point of view.

I understnad that his point of view is difficult ot understand because he might not be using hte correct words or way to express his feelings on this issue, but to bluntly call him a racist or nazi is wrong.

I have been pondering the issue of migrants coming to Britain, for a long time myself, however i don't feel i can speak on this matter with authority or have the proper backing of facts, figures or economic understanding to put across my arguments.

I will say just because teaschoci has a different opinion from all the rest of you it does not make his or her opinion wrong. However i can also understand that polish who have come to settle in this country do take a lot of stick form some british people, i've been around it myself when my polish friends have been bullied, picked on or even discriminated against because they are polish.

Maybe we should all just accept that everybody has their opinion whether it is right or wrong, good or bad, friendly or hostile all points of view are valid and often have been formed from personal experience or media coverage.

Sorry for the long message but i feel its important to keep the Polish/British relationship good :)

Teaoshi - You are studying... So what are you actually contributing to this country at this moment in time?

There are hardworking Europeans in this Country contributing to your education (student loans e.t.c)

well i must admit this is the only post that i have seen him/her make a comment on, i didn't realise he/she had previous form for been outrageous.

Sometimes though it would be better just to ignore them if your annoyed at what they are saying, if you carry on replying then it will just add fuel to the fire.

don't get fired up every time somebody says for example 'polish people ar stupid' its just not worth it, if i had a £1 for every time said to me that the British were 'drunken thugs' then i would be rich.

So don't lower yourself to their poor standard

non violent direct action

I favour violent indirect action.
Bang head on the desk repeatedly. It saves arguing with LoneStranger's Ilk but has the same result. :)

Bob Dylan says : 'You know, capitalism is above the law
It say, "it don't count 'less it sells"
When it costs too much to build it at home
You just build it cheaper someplace else'.

This is called 'globalism'...it means that your country, whether the UK, US or Poland will
be flooded with cheap foreign labor via immigration, the end of which will be a collapse
of the middle-class, if your country has one.

- And how would the alleged collapse occur? Pray elucidate.

Interesting angle. I would have thought the existence of cheap, motivated and hard working labour would have perpetuated the wealth and influence of the middle classes since they tend to be the capital owners. Maybe your concern is that the cheap labour starts to demonstrate their real skill and worth and start to move up the social ladder, earning more, buying property, starting businesses and taking on the middle classes. If so I've got news for you - this has been happening for years in the UK. We have large proportions of residents from all the EU countries. The only difference about the 'Polish Invasion' is the speed of the process compared with the gradual drfit to the UK from other countries. Polish people will not be restricted to menial jobs for too long. Those with the talent, intelligence and skills will do very well very quickly. And soon they will be in all EU countries as the restrictions lift. Some will leave the UK, some will stay and some may return to Poland. This is freedom of labour movement in action. Key message for us is to skill our young people better so that they can compete in a global economy. Instead of worrying about recent immigrants we should worry about our education system.

look at Ireland and their economy and their past history...

1. With its corporation tax of 12.5%, Ireland has a long history of attracting industry through foreign investment.
1. Culture. A common language helps you share knowledge.
3. The EU is now a single market of 500 million people. For Ireland, being in that large market and speaking English, it stands out as a prime location to invest.

4. As a result of investments, Irish education improved and delivered a lot of young, intellectually agile people.

...and the results speak for themselves. Yes, Ireland made it.
I'd like to see the same, some day, in Poland.

Those with the talent, intelligence and skills will do very well very quickly. And soon they will be in all EU countries as the restrictions lift. Some will leave the UK, some will stay and some may return to Poland.

Agreed.

unlikely poland is a non english speaking country so would find it very difficult to attract investment and corporate development like in ireland.

eu restrictions should not be lifted upon poland, we in the uk dont have to suffer hordes of germans or frenchman. We suffer the hordes of polish workers and beggers becuase of the state of polands economy.

Yes, it does complicate it, but no longer excludes. There are lots of foreign investments in Poland already. More and more people speak English already. It's the bureaucracy and ancient laws which prevent more investments.
