Are Polish people moving back home from the UK? [68]
Britain seems to have an ‘open door’ policy on immigration;
I accept there is a burden on services such as NHS and Education due to the recent mass immigration, but one cannot blame one particular group like Polish immigrants. Just wait till the Romanians/Gypsies start coming over in number.
There has been a large Polish population in UK since after WWII, and it’s only natural that Poles will come over to UK to seek work where their salaries will be 4-5 times that what they could achieve in Poland. Living expenses in London and South-East are very high and the conditions in which the Poles live and work are not always ideal, but they make the best of the situation and are happy to make sacrifices in order to achieve their goals…. a better future for themselves and their family, either back in Poland or settling down and making UK their new home.
I believe some Poles will stay, but the majority will return to Poland within 5-10yrs.
I also believe there is a mass exodus of Brits from this island, mainly due to this country losing it’s own identity and becoming too multicultural. There is one thing accepting other countries traditions and beliefs, but not at the expense of one’s own !!
Lots of Brits have left these shores and formed their own ‘little Britain’ in Spain, France, US, etc where they are free to fly their own flag without being frowned upon !
We talk about Polish people being disillusioned with their country, but it’s not much different here in England ….. every year the figures are released on how many Brits have left for a better life overseas … and it’s on the increase !
I was born in UK, but have Polish parents who settled in England after WWII – they planned to return to Poland but circumstances meant it was safer to stay in England.
Many of my friends who have a similar background to myself(bilingual Polish/English) have decided to leave England and make a new life for their families in Poland – I know of 3 such families which are moving over to Poland for good next year …… and in 1-2 years I will do the same :o))
