UK, Ireland / Time for the Poles from the UK to go home [437]
They did and you are right about the pensions being contributed to by those working...the problems start when employeers are quick to realise that they can take advantage of the situation, inflation is high in the UK, but the average salary has actually dropped...But its true we cannot attribute this to one nation, its just the Polish population stand out merely because of the number they came in and the media coverage that this has attracted.
And what Mr M said about the brain drain, this is true but in one sence this has also created a situation where employees have less choice so I would imagine they have to pay more, I wonder what will happen when the young Polish people return to Poland and what effect this will have in the job market, its all about supply and demand.
I also wonder why people are concentrating and berating those that are from EU countries that we opened our doors to whilst totally ignoring the fact that we are besieged by those that do not have the legal right to live and work here.
Oh and don't tell me that there are none brtish people that made some money out of this influx. Surely not all land lords, employers, shop owners, ect are foreign, right? :0
