Not a case of being an idiot, but simply thinking about the place we live in being invaded by 2 million Poles in less that 3 yrs.
Its the biggest influx of immigrants in 300 years, its worrying.
We already have an over crowded transport network in London, housing shortage, huge waiting time to get an appointment to see you local GP... there are plenty of other problems you get with mass immigration, now the Romanians, and Bulgarians are at it too. There seems to be some serious problems and dire consequenses to follow with Labours descision to allow new EU members in from the former Soviet bloc.
Ireland is the second top destination amongst Poles, and Sweden just behind. If as teh government had said they expected about 13,000 per annum it would not have been an issue.
Yes many Poles have come here and many have returned.The actual floating population of Poles in the UK is estimated at 600,000.Unlike certain other immigrant groups the Poles seem happy to come here to work hard and pay taxes etc.Millions of British people have left the UK because they think life is paradise in Australia,New Zealand,Canada,USA etc (many get a shock once they live there) so we need workers to replace them.The only people I hear complain about the Poles are the jealous people-mostly those British people who don,t understand hard work and want everything handed to them on a plate.
