You can't help to sound patronizing, can you? If it was not for them, we would still have the stores, coffeehouses and shopping alley of the pre-war
If you want to go back to 1939, re Germany.
and the Germany, our biggest export market.
Germany has always been an important trade partner for Poland, although it took PL some time to wake up to this fact. Former Polish Ambassador Janusz Rejiter, was instrumental in promoting co-operation.
Trade exchange is just that - investor are buying something in order to make profit,
You forgot, to mention the bit about creating jobs in the host country. The decision by the UK Gov, to allow Poles to work in the UK in 2004, did more to reduce the unemployment figures in PL, than the acting PL Gov at the time.
Except that they didn't open the market to donate money to Poland
That was not the issue,so don't twist my words. The UK Gov have done significantly more to help PL, than PL has done to assist the UK. Maybe the UK should be satisfied that you PL sent them the unemployable.
well, that's just like the Brits. Imagine this - before Rome civillised them, they lived in mud huts
In PL during the same period,you were living in castles, quaffing champagne and discussing what was in last weeks "Hello" magazine...
I have total respect for anyone that gets off their arse, moves to another country and carves out a better life for themselves or their family.
Rule number 1, don't disrespect the host nation.
