BBC launches new Polish language news service [87]
These are just f*cking facts.
These are your feelings, but they distort the facts. The facts are as follows: Many Poles have settled in Britain, where a market economy exists that allows them to spend money on products and services that meet their needs. Therefore, there is no reason for them to feel grateful. Unless, of course, one expects gratitude for the ability to shop freely for whatever they choose.

with their near-perpetual complaining about a country
I think you might be overthinking things. Most people there don't complain. However, a few Britons living in Poland tend to voice their frustrations frequently. It's a reality check for you. Even those who have lived in Poland for decades still complain about it from time to time. It's not a big deal; they always come back like a bad penny! Lol!

Ask yourself if even the Ukrainians,
It's interesting to note how the British flooded social media with complaints about the influx of Eastern Europeans, particularly Poles. While they attempted to avoid sounding nationalistic, it was clear they were talking negatively about these individuals. They seemed to get quite hysterical over certain issues involving Poles.
Jon made many excuses for them, saying, "Just wait until you have a large influx of foreigners." It seems that now, because Poles are more open, tolerant, and welcoming than the British, there's a tendency to backpedal and praise Ukrainians as a model for immigrants. Really? If they are such paragons of virtue, why don't you take them all in?
In my opinion, the attitude towards immigrants may differ between Poles and Ukrainians because Poles moved to Britain as EU citizens, while Ukrainians came as either economic migrants or refugees. This distinction plays a role in the subconscious views of these groups.
I believe the underlying issues between the British and the Poles stem from a sense of superiority. Britons often believe they are superior to Poles, while Poles may feel equally superior-or at least, equal-to Britons.
The US is vastly superior to Britain in one regard: freedom of speech. In the US, anyone can express their hatred for anyone else they choose. However, this constant expression of hate online can be exhausting. As a result, many Americans display kindness and warmth in real life, despite their online behavior.
In contrast, Brits tend to keep their negative feelings to themselves. This repression often results in lingering bad vibes and passive-aggressive remarks that they believe foreigners won't understand.

By the way, there are many undocumented Britons in the US, some of whom work in bars looking for shady individuals( shmodacks) to marry for a green card. Some of them are nice girls, and I feel sorry for them because not all will have a positive outcome.
