British taxpayers pay homeless Polish to go home.

You obviously didnt understand what I meant, never mind!

I work for a company that has at least 900 employees. About 1/3 of these are Polish (both in the US and in Poland) about 1/3 are from the Ukraine and 1/3 are a mix of american, persian (iranian) and a mix of others.

I have never worked with people more honest and hard working than the Polish people around me. My partner is a Polish woman who has been in the U.S. approximately 10 years. Her and her family have a great sense of work ethic and are more dependable than most of the Americans I have worked with.

In the U.S. we have the same issue with people that come here from Mexico. They are not here legally and they still get more benefits than the immigrants I know that are here legally, (such as my polish friends), so, take comfort, things are bad everywhere!! :o)

I really don't see the UK as a place to use and leave! I understand that we are members of the EU and therefore have the right to live and work within its bounderies. British investment in Poland runs into billions of pounds. Many Brits have bought property in Poland and many more will follow. I feel European and believe everyone can benefit from real cooperation. Many Poles died fighting a long side Brits during WW2 and as mush as I respect what Brits have suffered I can't help but feel Poland has suffered more.

Yeah. I took about 12.

But you didn't send it to Poland! But no problem, I can give you my bank account number :D

So are you suggesting that Poles don't pay taxes ? I can be not a British citizen, but I'm certainly a BRITISH TAXPAYER.
And I've been watching TV today and I've red 'The Independent' as well, and there wasn't A WORD mentioned about negative impact of sending money abroad by Poles on property prices. Rather easiness of getting a mortgage. And are you so naive that you think that only Poles send their savings home ? Millions of pounds are sent elsewhere to Europe and to Africa and Asia as well.

No. I didn't have to. My Old Folks are doing quite well.

I wasnt talking about WWII I was talking about more recent times...but never mind.

polish people can claim benefits as soon as they arrive in britain without contributing anything. WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR HOUSING AND PUBLIC SERVICES.

I though it was after 16 mos of employment.

nope they can claim immediatly and get a house paid for

Not according to the article you've posted. So, are the other claims in that article false as well?

Also, don't you think it would be better to complain to your govt about these issues instead of a forum where it's mostly British and Americans looking for helpful information about Poland?

"Polish immigrants cannot claim benefits until they have worked for 16 months in Britain and paid all their national insurance contributions, which leads many to end up on the streets".

16 months, Mr F was correct, if you bothered to look at the link you provided us all with, its states clearly that they cannot claim until they have their NI contributions in for 16 months...

Oh Mr F...just realised you posted..but what the hell Im gonna post it anyway :))

I would rather complain here.

you'd rather cause trouble you mean

And that's all you have to say? What say you about the insurance benefits? It seem like maybe you don't know what you think you do. Makes everything seem less valid then. Just as I thought. You run your mouth without having the knowledge.

What ?

I am student studying law and economics I know what I am talking about

Maybe some kind spanish food :)

Studying you say? This means you're just learning mate ;) Knowledge will soon follow. Be patient.

Id like to know where because I would really love to meet your lecturers to have a stern word with them...

Ah...

But you have no appreciation of economics. I'd change your tutor if I were you :(

I'd ask for a full refund :)



someone who pays for having their driveway done
