Law / British managers superior to Polish [52]


Not quite. I seem to remember a thread on welcoming Poles to benefit Britain where Brits in Britain on this site started in on how crap England is (and not because of Poles being here).

Work / My friend is looking for a job in Poland with a physics degree [32]

Companies like Deloitte, Credit Suisse etc have their staff made from top unis like Cambridge Maths and Physics degrees a B.A from Cambridge in that and you'll still be looked down on by PHDs. Brownian eqations and derivatives go hand in hand. If you went in with a degree in microbiology and asked for a job they'd laugh in your face. Retail banking (loans,mortgages,savings account) any half arsed degree can get you in.

By the Polish? There is 5 million permanent residents from India/Pakistan, Somalia, West Indies another 5 million who are Irish or cash in hand pikeys and permanent. How are a million in turnover taking temp jobs with no power or influence a hi-jacking? I'll use the labour for the same reasons everyone else does, the reason Poles are solvent.

From the Institute of Public Affairs,2010

Almost all Britons unanimously accept tourist travel to the UK by Poles and have nothing against Poles as neighbours or friends. What is more, Britons accept Poles as family members. One third of interviewees do not want Poles to settle for good in Britain. Britons perceive the short term presence of Poles in UK (economic migration) much more positively than their settling down for good and participating in social and political life

The typical Polish migrant is an unqualified worker - over 75% of respondents expressed such an opinion. What's more, not only do they undertake the most difficult jobs, but they also do them conscientiously and well: their work is highly regarded by employers. On the other hand, however, this conscientious and cheap worker is taking work from Britons - so say almost 60% of respondents. At the same time, nearly 70% of British employers are satisfied with Poles' work

On balance, the presence of Poles in the United Kingdom is viewed positively: over half of Britons consider that opening of the labour market to Poles was the right decision,with one third of Britons strongly agreeing with this statement.

Poles are well-liked by the British in personal relations and accepted as members of British society

My own opinion (insert usual disclaimer about predcitions and speculations here) would be to change up. It's hit a resistance point from last August and so 'may' bounce off it plus the line I have drwn in red from the past two weeks. As wil as a well known 'Fibonacci' retracement. Though wait for the turn up as it could break straight through. The pound is relatively weak at the moment against the Euro considering political news.

It a EURPLN chart for this year attached but as a bigger pot it tends to react to EUR more than GBP technically.

Yes. If you mean a limited company for liability purposes you have to register with Companies House, if you are thinking big. Otherwise which is much easier go with self-employment and register with hmrc.gov.uk/businesses/tmastarting-up-in-business.shtml, a useful resource

I read in the WBJ today that Poland are chipping in 6 billion euros to the IMF.

EU money isn't about handouts/charity: it's strictly business. The monies moved by governments is for infrastructure dependent on private business, corporations and individuals investing in Poland or expected to be invested.
