Poles and the English are all the same underneath. Funny really (UK perspective). [8]
You're never going to get a fair argument or points across in this forum.
This forum is full of Poles, Pole-Wannabes, Pole-Lovers and British do-gooder hippies :D
We know how blindly patriotic and self-loving the Polish are :D
The World owes them a favor and since 2004, they've been given access to the British cow to milk. Not alone in this respect, amongst Pakistanis, Somalians etc etc. They're just taking their share. But like all patriotic people, they'll grasp at any little fact to argue that our money, and country is their birthright :D
The Indians/Pakistanis claim we owe them because of the British Empire
The Somalis don't really have a reason so they claim asylum
Well, the polish.. apparently we sold them to the soviet union, after we fought a war in defence of them.. Then there's the 303 squadron - 5% of the RAF. yeah.. say no more.
They are a very different form of immigration and it's going to be interesting in years to come to see what the second generation British-Pole will be like. Bear in mind they have a very patriotic ghetto mentality, and try as best they can to bring Poland to this Island instead of integrating.
The majority of them will have Polish TV decoders in their UK abode. They will shop at Polish stores because our sausages and bread are filthy. They will send their kids to Polish kindergarten, there are Polish doctors, dentists. In the heavily ghettoissed areas. Like Doncaster, Peterborough and Boston they have lots of Polish pubs & clubs.
There's not a lot of interaction/integration going on, except in the workplace & theirs a small minority of poles who have been here since 2004, and have no English-writing skills. And can barely speak a word of it themselves.
