The number of Anti-English Poles... [228]
I am English and worked in a department that had 4 Polish workers there at the time. My experience with them was very mixed. A couple of the girls were really lovely and wanted to intergrate and improve there English and worked very hard and to the best of their abilities. But the other two were really quite horrible to be around talking in Polish all day making everyone else - and it wasn't just Brits - feel uncomfortable they hardly did any work and would pass the buck if there was something they just didn't want to do and when they did speak English they would go on about how bad the NHS is or the school system or dentist etc. Don't get me wrong I have come across many Brits with the same attitude but the thing that got me was whenever anyone pulled them up their responce was always the same "but in Poland............" now if I chose to go and work in Poland or any other country I would abide by there office rules and ways and not use "But in England..............." everytime I was pulled up on something and I certainly wouldn't complain bitterly everyday about my host country.
There are comments on here about British builders being lazy but I have also heard stories about lazy Polish builders. Just because I met a few horrible Polish people doesn't mean I think the rest of Poland or the Polish nationals that are here are the same. So why should you tar all English builders with the same brush?
Yes I have my reservations about the number of Polish workers in the UK after all we're only a small Island and we are struggling to cope but as long as they are hard working, pay there taxes and are respectful to others not just Brits then I don't have problem just don't come here and start bad mouthing our country when you haven't even tried to get to know its people or its way.
The fat as.ed Brits who never say a day of work are
We have Ex-English living in the States. For instance English nurses or secretaries are very highly regarded. I've never heard someone say the English are lazy.
The difference being is that it is their country. The English can deal with the English, but the English cannot deal with is all the poverty and unemployment of Eastern Europe.
Thank you! Someone who is talking sense and not being racist! I am sick of all the racist comments on here about Brits considering you are living in our country don't you think you should show some respect like we would in your country? What do you want us to say huh? Yes all Brits are lazy fat lay abouts who do nothing all day! some of us are actually very hardworking and do actually do do a good job. I'm sorry to the Poles that have come across any Anti-Polish Brits but we are not all the same I would bet my life that not all Poles are hardworking like some people on here would have you believe. Every country has its fair share of good and bad! For gods sake! The Poles on here ******** about the Brits are just giving other Poles a bad name same with the Brits although there a many more Anti-British remarks than there are Anti-Polish remarks so maybe you should think about that. We are a very tolerant nation who is trying to claw its way out of a recession at the same time we are strugling to support our own people living on the poverty line we can't do it all we just don't have enough social housing, NHS resources, school places, jobs to go around. Its not just Poles waiting for years to get social housing it is also many Brits and if you want somewhere in any area of London you can expect to wait a very long time whatever nationality you are. Again we are only a small Island! How much do expect us to take before it all full's apart? And if you hate Britain so much why are you here? This is not a racist question I would really like to know why you would live somewhere that it seems like you loath and detest so much.
