it cracked me up yesterday when he posted a link to an article that was supposed to back up his point but infact discredited it... he either didnt bother to read it [stupid] or didnt understand what it was saying [stupid]

This is funny - you whipping yourself up into a frenzy? You don't sound happy,just bitter and jealous.I don't need to reply to this post because you have already made a fool of yourself.95% of muslims are not scroungers,but 95% of migrant scroungers are muslims.I have a very happy life thank you -its obvious from your post that you don't. Hatred,envy,bitterness - you should feel sorry for yourself.

I shall ignore.

I think a lot of Pols are dissapointed with the quality of rented accomodation here in uk, and in many cases the landlords don't renevate as they know they can always find a Pol to let out to. I've seen many inhabital houses let out to pols, it's really money making program for the landlords, terrible. In UK we live in some of the worst quality housing (very very small rooms!) in Europe and have some of the most deprived areas around. that's just the way it is sadly..

yes i am familiar with making massive profits and cutting your own people out of work and getting EU peasants working for next to nothing , i know people who have been put out of work by poles it seems every pub you go into these days people are talking about where this open immigration will end ,we done better before poles came here and we'll do so much better if they go home , it's these agencies using them and sending them out to do jobs for minimum wage i call them sprout pickers , while the british employee may have commitments to the uk they are told your getting minimum wage of we will just get poles ,whereas if they wasn't here company's would have to pay better rates for our own people , there is about 300,000 natives been put out of work so far because of polish immigration , and yes migration watch is right i agree with what they say i don't think they are being spiteful towards anyone just telling it how it is , the only people who have gained anything from poles are these unscruplious employers making profits where they can use and manipulate pollocks instead of being made to employ their own people , even the labour party have admitted they made a total mess of the proposed system where they said maybe 16,00 poles would come , the strain on services in some parts of the country is just to much for people to take , brits wait longer to see doctors and their children are interupted with poles coming to schools not being able to speak proper english, if they knew it would end up like this everyone knows the government would have been like germany and france and said no to poor nations coming here freely finding work .. it's madness we need that referendum so the uk can pull out of the EU let's be more like norway and say no

Okay let us clear up some basic faults with your comments; citizens from the old commonwealth, specifically Australians, New Zealands and Canadians cannot claim assistance including social security, housing, or benefits. It is part of the entry requirements for any permit we can obtain that we can support ourselves financially without assistance from the State (e.g. government).


There are approximately 208,900 Bangladeshis in the UK; and almost four times that number of Poles. Only 7,687 Poles are claiming Income Support but 22,979 Bangladeshis are. The same picture is visible through the statistics on ethnic population versus assistance received in the UK. It makes a mockery of your claims that Asian immigrants are supporting the rest of the UK as well as the EU.

The figures I refer to are taken from 'Britains Immigrants: An Economic Profile' published by the IPPR in September 2007, and are the most up to date figures available on ethnic groups in the UK in relation to unemployment and economic contribution. The report can be found (insert URL), but here is a breakdown for you in case you are too lazy or ignorant to work it out;

As of Quarter 4, 2006 the population by country of the biggest beneficiaries of tax payer assistance are;
Somalia
82,300 - 81% not working (Approx. 66,663 unemployed) - 39% claiming Income Support (approx. 32,097) - 80% in social housing (approx. 65,840)
Turkey
69,400 - 59% not working (Approx. 40,946 unemployed) - 21% claiming Income Support (approx. 14,574) - 49% in social housing (approx. 34,006)
Bangladesh
208,900 - 56% not working (Approx. 116,984 unemployed) - 11% claiming Income Support (approx. 22,979) - 41% in social housing (approx. 85,649)
Pakistan
306,400 - 55% not working (Approx. 168,520 unemployed) - 11% claiming Income Support (approx. 33,704) - 15% in social housing (approx. 45,960)
Iran
60,900 - 48% not working (Approx. 29,232 unemployed) - 10% claiming Income Support (approx. 6,090) - 33% in social housing (approx. 20,097)

For comparison, the figures for UK Born are;
UK Born - 52,980,100 - 22% not working (Approx. 11,655,622 unemployed) - 4% claiming Income Support (approx. 2,119,204) - 17% in social housing (approx. 9,006,617)

And finally the figures for Poles are;
Poland - 768,700 - 15% not working (Approx. 115,305 unemployed) - 1% claiming Income Support (approx. 7,687) - 8% in social housing (approx. 61,496)

The top five drains on the UK by ethnic group are; Somalia, Turkey, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Iran. The combined population of these five groups in the UK is 727,900. The total unemployed for these five ethnic groups combined are 422,345 or over 58%. Income Support Claimants total 109,444 or 15%, while those living in Social Housing total 251,552 or 35%.

Perhaps if these groups (i.e. Somalians, Turkish, Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, and Iranians) stood on their own two feet rather than relying on the tax payer - which includes the Poles - they might find life in the UK a lot less cushy and there would be enough money to help those who truly deserve it (the elderly being a good start). I believe there should be restrictions placed on immigrants claiming support from State sources for five years from date of entry. This would promote a 'sink or swim' mentality, and would discourage large groups from immigrating to the UK purely to sit on their backsides as it appears a significant portion of immigrants from Somalia, Turkey, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Iran do.

LennyD you continue to spout the same rot without listening to the answers.
If a business cannot obtain labour at a reasonable cost, they don't increase their labour budget - they simply move the jobs off shore. No company can be made to hire employees if they are not economically viable.

You would be better off retraining for a higher skilled job that cannot be outsourced (the knowledge economy).
Migration Watch has been linked with the BNP. Given the BNPs attitudes towards immigrants, I would struggle to believe there are no ulterior motives hiding beneath Migration Watch's statements.

i wonder how people find time to write such lengthy posts when they are most likely at work. Isnt it kind of ironic stating that you have a good job and are highly skilled and hardworking, when one is blatantly skiving on here. <looks round for the boss>

i'm on my lunch break .... and anyway I'm my own boss :o))

oh me too :)

We know this, these figures have been set out for all to see many many times....What we should do it offer no assitance and whatsoever and most of the Somalis, Turkish, Kurds, Bangladeshis, Pakis etc are all here claiming asylum.....can you get me the figures for the following

Czech
Slovakia
Hungarian

Lets see how they compare with the Polish, that might give it a bit of an even slant...Because I dont know any Spanish or Italians or French or Germans that live in the UK that are claiming.....or live in social housing or are claiming for kids back home ....

Thansk for your concern, but its my lunch break... not my fault if I type 60wpm

Claiming what ? Isn't that for everyone legally working in UK ?

No, people who dont have kids cant claim it...Brits living in Spain dont claim it :)

yeah the poles are claiming for kids back home which to me is an absolute joke , and even 7,000 poles here claiming why don't they go and claim off poland ? liza seems a big supporter of these poles but what would they do if they had over a million people flooding into their country putting pressure on services and educating their children taking money out the country ,keeping natives out of work ,keeping wages down they would be here moaning and complaining more than anyone not just the poles but the czechs lithuanians and anyone else from the former communist blocks , in the space of 3 years we've just had to have put up with it and it seems as if we say anything we have foreigners like liza and polish scum telling us that we can't comment and were racist or something crazy like that , surely opening free borders with 28 countries is just going to lead to the downfall of your own people , even politicians have admitted that the immigration from the EU is totally out of order and we'd benefit as a nation if less poles were coming here and i just see the BNP saying it how it is , what's the matter can't we comment on the madness of the shambles of immigration without some pole saying were discriminating ? and what if we ,we don't to just have to accept it we are allowed to comment they have a scottish national party so what's wrong with a british national party ? yes we need to look after our own people first like poland would with their people , Gordon brown today has said that we need to get more british people in work as they say that eu immigrants have put more than 300,000 natives out of work in the last 18 months

That's not surprising, don't you think ?


Hmm maybe because they don't work in UK... ?


And that's not over. Soon Poland will start giving EU citizenships to Ukrainians and Belarussians. There are almost 60 million of them.

liza where do you live in the uk ? if you lived near liverpool you'd see how polish are flocking here and making people bitter and contempt i hear it all the time , i even worked on electrical systems in factories and in one particular place where the shop manager was talking to us he turned round and said " these polish keep coming here i never asked for them i just wanted 18 staff and they just keep sending poles i think we need to look after our own people " it's these agencies they flock round these employment agencies you can spot them all the time looking lost with their backpacks looking like tramps walking round town , i personally think they have an arrogance about them , no country can have an open door policy with other poor countries it's MADNESS ! our own people on benefits and struggling to find work then they have to compete with poles who will work for nothing and be used and manipulated and our own citizens told that they have no jobs better than £5.52 AN HOUR and agencies just coining it in using poles while our own genuine people get overlooked


this is a bit of an insult to say brits have UFO style heads have you seen the state the way poles look ? big massive boggly eyes with veins poppin in their heads and weird like sculptured eastern european faces you can usually spot a pole a mile off

That's so sad...

unfortunatly that means you wont be driving into any lamposts anytime soon then?
(BTW, where did the funny wanna be jihadist get too? He was fun,living in a tent in the desert one minute then claiming to be a computor programer here in the UK....crikey,no wonder so much software doesnt work these days if cretins like him write it :) )

Then you need to slow down MISS BRAINBOX....Then you might get your spelling right!!


Yeah thats a big concern to us also.....I believe the Ukrainians working in Poland get a Polish passport after just two years?.......Which then entitles them to work in Britain as part of the EU....Soon we will all be complaining about the Ukrainians on PF rather than the Poles!!

Maybe there will be a Ukrainian forum for this instead, and all here will be peace!

Great, more Ukrainians in Britain,they can join the members of the SS Galizean Division that settled alongside the Poles here after the war......

They sound a strange bunch Isthatu....Who were they?

As you may or may not know,they were a Division made up of volounteers from the Ukraine who fought,rather obviously given the SS title,for the nazis in the last war. Alegedly only so as to fight communism(!??!) hence the odd little fact that they were shipped on masse to the UK and many of them didnt actually "retire" from the military life for quite some time.....odd plans to use them as a fifth column in case of war against the USSR. Many of whom settled in the same area's as the Pole's of Anders army,or in the case of Doncaster,alongside former members of the 1st pl para brigade. As far as I know,no out and out problems occured between these 2 ,one would think,diametrically opposed groups of people,in fact,a sort of understanding of life and world situations sweeping by out of their respective controlls helped to unite them in many ways.

I note you have more than a passing interest in the Warsaw uprising - did this division take part in supressing it ?

Some of the SS Divisions who put down the Warsaw Uprising came from the Boltic States.

hello Annamaria,

I am a journalist trying to uncover any abuse of Polish/foriegn workers in the south of England. Have you ever experienced any anything like this or do you know anybody who has had a bad experience. I am trying to tell the truth and expose this abuse. your can contact me on my private email, in strict confidence. david.mcgee@bbc.co.uk

Yes but then I'd be here all night like you... hang on, thats because you have no life...

DMcGee, at the same time, do you think you could do a report on the mis-informed who believe the Polish are to blame for most of Britain's problems? It would be nice to have some of their concerns addressed so they could realize Eastern Europeans are not to blame for everything bad in the UK.

I think its a British trait,looking for a scapegoat to blame for unemployment,housing,healthcare etc.Dont forget people,we had these problems before Poland joined the EU!!!
