what british taxpayer? you forgot that immigrants pay taxes as well? there is more brits that immigrants living on benefits. poles hardly ever claim any benefits cuz most of the time they don`t even know they`re entitled to them.
all this immigration warnings in the media is just normal british exaggeration. you people exaggerate about immigration same way you exaggerate about severe snowfall when you get a lil bit of dandruff on your streets, or call a summer with lil bit less rainfall a DRAUGHT. give me a break.
over 1 million immigrant families are living in housing paid by the british taxpayer.

why are you only targeting polish immigrants? we work, pay our taxes and have the right to be here whether you like it or not.
why won`t you concetrate on immigrants that actually cause damage to you country? cuz as far as i`m concerned poles are not the ones who blow up your underground and buses, we are not the ones having 10 kids in a family (2 at most) and we are NOT the ones who come into this country to sit on our LAZY a$$es and claim benefits.
someone has to do the cleaning jobs and if you decide to call polish/ eastern european cleaners names then i get the picture of what kind of bright person you are.
there is also a great number of poles who are far more qualified for the jobs they are doing and they have far more education behind them than you would ever have. i went to a college in london where my fellow students where british and most of them couldn`t even spell. i could spell better than them and english isn`t even my mother tongue.
brits expect the immigrants to speak english, well then i guess if they are emigrating themselves or going on holidays to, say, spain they should be expected to at least be able to say a few words in spanish but oh no, the spanish have to learn english now!
plus you probably don`t even know how the polish soldiers fought for your stupid country in WWII.

poland is central europe, but i guess you didn`t have geography at school.and where did you get the 1 million figure from exactly? bear in mind that if over the centuries britain decided to invade almost every country under the sun, they should expect britain to be invaded in return O_o
1. terrorist attacks are a side effect of immigration that your stupid mind won`t take into account for some reason so it is NOT a completely different matter.
2. i`ve never met a polish woman in this country who had more than 2 children so who are you calling a rat, rat? a lot of us decide to have kids back in poland cuz we are terrified of the low level of health care in this country. not to mention sick social services who get parents in jail for slapping their kids which is laughable.

Poland (Polish: Polska), officially the Republic of Poland (Polish: Rzeczpospolita Polska), is a country in Central Europe.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poland
about battle of britain:
At the height of fighting, and despite Churchill's insistence, only 30 pilots were released to the frontline from administrative duties.[31] For these reasons the RAF had fewer experienced pilots at the start of the battle, and it was the lack of trained pilots in the fighting squadrons, rather than the lack of machines, that became the greatest concern for Dowding. Drawing from regular RAF forces as well as the Auxiliary Air Force and the Volunteer Reserve, the British could muster a total of some 1,103 fighter pilots on 1 July. Replacement pilots, with little actual flight training and often no gunnery training whatsoever, suffered high casualty rates.[32] RAF forces were bolstered by foreign nationals, including:
Australia
Belgium
Canada
Czechoslovakia
Free France
Ireland
Jamaica
New Zealand
Palestine
Poland
Rhodesia
South Africa

The RAF roll of honour for the Battle of Britain recognises 510 non-British pilots as flying at least one authorised operational sortie with an eligible unit of the Royal Air Force or Fleet Air Arm between 10 July and 31 October 1940.[80] This included pilots from Poland, New Zealand, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, Australia, South Africa, France, Ireland, United States of America, Jamaica, Palestine, and Southern Rhodesia. The highest-scoring unit during the Battle of Britain was the No. 303 Polish Fighter Squadron.[81]

The Second World War began when Germany invaded western Poland on 1 September 1939. On 17 September eastern Poland was invaded by the USSR. Poland capitulated after 6 weeks of fighting...

1. therefore terrorist attacks are an indirect result of immigration, the old immigration that is, as they produced the british subjects who now are plotting the next attack on your a$$.
2. plus islam has nothing to do with those attacks- it`s just washed out brains that are behind it and they call themselves muslims for whatever reason but they are FAR from islam and its preachings. they are extremists not muslims and it would be nice of you to be able to distinguish those two.
3. you hate islam? somehow i`m not surprised. you appear to hate just about everything that is not british. hence being a shame to your own people as most of them are decent and kind to immigrants.
The terrorist attacks commited by muslims in britain were commited by british subjects who were 1st and 2nd generation britons. I hate islam but this is an issue that concerns british born muslims not immigrants

No because it's considered racist if we dare wave our flags in public, we might upset the ethnic majority!

its almost like for some unknown reason that the waitress, barman and taxi driver really want to practice their english with you more than have you speak their language. weird, huh?

Is that why most foreigners cant get the simple things like tense correct...yeah must be really easy :) Just because someone says "yeah I speak English" is doesn't mean for one moment that they actually speak it properly! There's a big difference...
yeah usually the native english speakers make mistakes as well. but if you try to compare how difficult and complex other languages are compared to english you wouldn`t be so surprised why i called english easy.

UK, Ireland / A collection of noimmigration's threads or "STAY AWAY from BRITAIN" [978]
i`m generalising. as a nation the british are perceived that way by other nations, these characteristics are viewed as your flaws just like being an intolerant alcoholic thief is what usually is perceived by other nations to be typically polish. i`m not saying it`s right cuz generally speaking generalising is not a possive thing cuz it causes intolerance but if pseudo-people like noimmigration can complain about the polish i can complain about the british (the only difference being that i don`t actually hate the british :)
yap, probably polish people make more mistakes cuz polish is a difficult language even to its natives.
i didn`t know that. however vocabulary is one thing, the grammar, pronounciation, spelling etc is another - you can learn extended vocabulary if you`re determined enough but you might find it difficult for your tongue not to `break` while you`re learning to pronounce a polish sentence: ` w strzebrzeszynie chrzaszcz brzmi w trzcinie` - just a little tease :P
the only difficulty i personally find with english is that it has no logic (for example the lack of spelling - pronounciation rules) and i am perfectly aware that i don`t speak it correctly :)
Really? so why have you been banging on trying to make a point that the English are incapable of speaking another language and by and large calling the national lazy!

I'm sure they do, as I am sure that Polish people make mistakes in their own language!

It may be "easy " to learn the basics,far from it to use it well.You do realise English has the largest vocabulary of any on the planet dont you?
