Those benefits are payback for Britain's WWII negligence.
Get real, mistakes were made all through the war! We don't owe the Poles anything, nor do they owe us!
People on both sides died fighting Hitler!
The poles had it far easier under communism than most of the eastern bloc and I doubt Britain/America could have prevented the Soviets behaviour without resorting to nuclear warfare, not exactly a good solution either!
There are plenty of Poles that would quite like the reintroduction of communism!!!!
@Hudsonhicks if the Poles or any one else pay taxes they are entitled to Tax credits etc... Law of the land!
Indians are successful because they work and study far harder than either Brits or Poles, same goes for the chinese! Most pakistani's are hardworking too!
Fact of the matter is : Most Brits won't do the jobs that Poles and other immigrants do, that is why they are over here! Personally I'm glad that most are because otherwise we'd be up s--- creek!
There are Poles ( very few) who milk the system and other immigrants (again not that many) I think they're sh-- but so are the Brits who do this!
@ Rozoumiec (sorry if the spelling is wrong) the banks and politicians are quite often bent but not half as corrupt as other countries!!!! As for a few benefit bums not mattering, yes it does matter just as much as bent banks/politicians, education begins at home, bums breed bums in many cases!!!!
ANYONE WHO IS GENUINELY UNEMPLOYED OR UNABLE TO WORK THROUGH ILLNESS., MY APOLOGIES I DO NOT INCLUDE YOU IN THESE COMMENTS
