Polish community in the UK: are you happy?

It was about 98 time and they just said it was because of his father's surname. He was a POW from Ukraine and brought to the UK where he married an English woman. They children were born here but still he was refused entry.

Not irrelevant to the thread, please keep to the topic.

So do I, it's been less lately but I used to regularly for many years.


Native English speaker who can afford 27 bedroom castle is intelligent enough to know that "queue" is not spelled "cue". Sorry but you have no credibility here.


Wrong, I came to the UK on my own as a young adult man right after I graduated my higher education.

polish people are dissliked by british people, theyre culture is rough and we disslike the way that the polish immigrants that live here with us refuse to have immigrants in theyre own country, if you want to be europeans then youll have to have your country destroyed by a wave of unwanted immigration the same as we the british people did when you arrived. life is harder in the uk for uk people now these immigrants from block eastern european countries have arrived

But it can work well. Flint (in North Wales) is full of Polish.

Polish are (by talking with them)... racist. You never see any Muslims or Pakistani's etc in Flint.

That's fine by me.

Honest I don't know what you are talking about, you are just not making any sense.

I lived in Britain for 50 years, I had no problems living there, I left because of the rise in crime, yes I had to deal with the odd bit of racism (I Stuck out because of my Polish name)

The funniest thing I have been called by an idiot in Bilston Is a white wog

Brits of my generation (I was born to parents who served in the RAF with Polish ww2 squadrons) have huge respect for the Polish.

I can understand leaving because of crime, our inner cities are a mess.

Yep same generation dad was a soldier in the Polish II corps, mote casino , italy campaign etc.

Noticed you are in Liverpool, are you still happy in the UK, have you thought about returning to Poland ?

No I'm British through and though... Protestant Christian, 1/2 Scot 1/2 English, married to Catholic Irish with Catholic kids.

Have thought about a move to Poland but the language sounds difficult.

We do like the Polish we have met though (and that's lots), and we don't like the increasing numbers of Muslims that are appearing in Liverpool (and with all the associated problems which are downplayed by the PC press).

@Billy: in your Church, don't they teach you about tolerance, love and all the "crap"??? Church people always bother the rest of the population with their "love thy neighbor" and "all men are God's children" and consorts but amazingly the most intolerant and sectarian people I have met (I have lived in altogether 7 countries) were the most religious and the most tolerant and the most open were ... atheists. Coincidence?????

Tolerance is fine until you have daughters, that (as most young girls do) like to go out on the town and enjoy themselves without being stalked, molested and pestered by 7th century freaks that think that, because a woman is displaying more than one square inch of flesh that they are asking for it.

Incompatible with western values!

I hate the word " British " its another term for mongrel. I am English but British by proxy. The other day I visited Edinburgh, bit of Christmas shopping and two guys pasted me with blue t-shirts on with the caption " Scottish not British " on it. Now I want one with " English not British " spewed over the English flag.

Nice to see that you're trying to vomit your racism on every thread Billy.
Not that this has anything to do with the thread whatsoever, and why are you even commenting? You are not Polish and living in the UK are you?

I despise mostly the "Polenglish" language those self-proclaimed Globetrotters use. Other than that i think the Polish Community on the Isles is fine. Some could be a bit more open to the Locals though.

I like that, 'the Isles' - avoids the problem of including Ireland or not.

To be fair though, some Polish people are not v sociable with 'the locals' due to language problems. There was this one Polish girl on our little country bus service, where everyone chats. At first I thought she was 'standoffish' but then I realised that her English was really weak and she had no confidence in her 'chatting' skills. She was perfectly friendly though. She works in the Polski Sklep , lives with her Polish BF., has v little chance to improve.

Merged: How are Poles treated in Britain? Attitude toward Polish people in UK during the migrant crisis.

How are Poles treated in Britain? Are they mostly positive or increasingly negative at the moment when the EU is struggling with a migrant crisis? Is the tide turning? What do you think?

LOL I sure did talk some utter bollox back in the day. I sound like a right pompous toss bag. Weird how people try to come across on social media.

Hope you're all well chaps....??
