What a sweeping generalisation. Like saying all Indian men are wife beaters.

Yes, as part of a reciprocal agreement between Poland and the UK
but... wait... didn't a parliamentary committee also publish a report stating that there would only be 17,000 immigrants a year? Perhaps they're ... wrong?
do immigrants get free immediate care in poland as soon as they arrive on the shore ?

It's not one house per migrant - we might just be talking about 100,000 houses. In fact, according to the article, one in nine houses is occupied by foreigners. It might as well be said that over 80 percent of housing is occupied by British nationals. Anyway, migrants pay their taxes too so they are entitled to accomodation.
The only thing this story tells us is that the commission believes the number of migrants in accomodation could potentially be a flashpoint for idiots who read the mail. As usual though, the Mail focusses on the sensational aspect.

If they hav done it could be due to (1) too many lazy British benefit cases sponging off the taxpayer (2) council house owners selling off their properties now the properties values have gone up.

You mean there are fewer aprentices these days? I thought everyone did management or leisure and tourism these days. Maybe it's just the lack of demand? Maybe it's down to the corporate culture that puts the squeeze on sole traders these days?
Anyway, I see you don't deny that house prices are very high and that immigrants are not cheating the English out of their jobs. On that at least we agree.
the chance of school leavers getting apprenticeships and learning trades is seriouslyharmed

Sorry I'll just translate that for you into non-inflammatory language - "Polish workers pay taxes and NI contributions and claim child benefit for their children". Nothing to see here.
It's worth mentioning the 1 BILLION pounds ripped out of the system every year by fake / unnecessary sickness benefit claims. 33 million doesn't seem so much eh?
Keep your comments factual rather than personal, Noimmigration.
"British child benefit paid to foreign children living abroad has rocketed by an astonishing 72 per cent in just nine months, to £33million a year.
Most of the money is going on 36,000 children still in Poland whose parents are cashing in on European rules that let them claim benefits in the UK after working and paying taxes here for a year.

Olivier, you can hardly wag your finger at someone for posting what 90 percent of non-Polish citizens believe to be true. Polish bureaucracy operates at every level in society and what would be a simple task in the UK becomes inordinately difficult and long winded in Poland. It's taken me well over a year to be registered amd apply for a dowod, despite having Polish citizenship, a Polish wife and a flat in Poland, and this is primarily due to lazy / incompetent staff and an outdated system. You will ind most Poles agree with me too.
Now say sorry to dnz.

Well, I suppose maybe 1 in 10 of the office fauna I've had to deal with have been genuinely helpful. The attitude of the rest could be placed on a scale from 'pleasant but incompetent' through 'passive aggressive' up to 'actively hostile'. Though, I don't believe they're necessarily bad people, just people trapped in a bad system that was the product of a bad system. Every day, they sit in a job with little respect, no hope for promotion, low pay, no job satisfaction and the knowledge that they could easily be replaced by a machine or the boss's daughter.
They have trouble accepting that they're only there to fill in a form or two and ask questions rather than making big decisions themselves. We see them as the short order chefs of the administratum, but they consider themselves the restaurant owners and the general public to be mere waiters. They p1ss poeple off to pass the time and make them feel as if they are really in a proper job.
Most importantly, they'll do as little as they possibly can. They'll only answer direct questions. They'll give a different answer to the same question on different days as it suits them because they don't know the answer and they're too lazy to check. Curiously enough, they often work unsupervised and so, should you have a problem with them, there's no complaints procedure and nobody to turn to.
They'll send you off to do their work for them as their messenger boy - why make a phone call when I can send this idiot to find their own data from the other office? And if they have trouble at the other office why should I bother?
Oh, and if there's something small that prevents them processing you, they'll shrug and smugly say it can't be done. If you ask why, they'll dig their heels in. If you really go to town on them and make it look as if you're going to be trouble, they'll miraculously do an about turn and process it for you. 'Cost benefit' exercise, you see - anything to avoid the most work.
In contrast, I went to the UK the other year for a copy of my birth certificate. I prepared as I would for an expedition for the delegatura - water, food, first aid kit, emergency beacon - and set off with instructions to my wife as to what she should do if I didn't return. I approached the desk, dropped the 10Kg of documents I'd brought 'in case' and asked the man for a birth certificate. He smiled (!) and gave me a form. I filled in the form and paid the fee with a card. He told me I'd have the cert in 1 week. Would I like it sooner? Would I like it posted to me? No thanks I said.
When I turned up to collect it a week later, it was there. I told him I'd been in Poland for a few years and things are totally different. I asked him if he was going to verbally abuse me or make me wait a few weeks. He said he could if I wanted him to. Now that's service! Not wanting to be a burden, I politely turned him down and accepted the standard service that anyone else in England is accustomed to.

No, you contribute nothing of value to the discussion but you are very quick to pass judgement on foreigners in Poland. All the man did was share his experience of a particularly hard time with the Polish authorities to add substance to the thread. Perhaps you could add something more than just extended tutting?
