Are there any other countries that Polish immigrants are going to?

Those numbers are way out, those are the census numbers iirc, hardly accurate.

I met a certain civil servant recently who reckons the number of Polish in Ireland is closer to 400k than 200k. The UK also have a lot of 'unregistered' Poles.
There are also a huge amount of Chinese in Ireland, but they are not as visible as Poles obviously.


I believe Iberia relaxed their laws with regard to immigrants last summer (summer '06) or at least since that document was published.

There are other reasons that people are ignoring why Ireland/UK are so favoured, for example:

Economic - The growth of the economy relative to the population, favourable ratio
Social Welfare - Strong social welfare system in UK, moderate in IRL
Language - 1st language in IRL/UK is English, majority of French/Spanish often refuse to speak English
Previous Immigrants - UK is overrun by immigrants already, but they fail to take any responsible action. Ireland never had much of an immigrant population before aside from a few thousand nigerian and romanian.

Don't worry truebrit. We know that.

I notice lots of people are saying 'England and Ireland'
What about Scotland?
Us Scots arent all that bad (:
I know lots of Poles here too.
..I have a thing for one called Michal (; haha.

I know some PL living in Edinburgh. some go to Uni and some just work there. I think there may be more students though.

and in reply to the Sunday Mail link, there's quite a lot of idiots like that in Scotland. They just need to get a grip to be honest.
I'm 15 and trying my hardest to learn Polish but my pronouncations aren't good. I sound French when i try speak different languages too, which doesnt help
>.> I'm keeping practising though ^^

Yes, there's 6 Polish students at my high school (:
They're all lovely

That's alright, French can sound quite nice.

there was an article in Gazeta Wyborcza recently about the immigrant Polish community in Iceland

i like th eway this post ignores the bad reputation poles are making for themselves everywhere, especially iceland and the UK. maybe it is time that all the poles went home

I'm not sure Irish people do think the same... ;)

By the way, Iceland must be great (to go on holiday, to work, don't know...)

I know a Polish man who left the UK, saying he was going to Iceland next.
I can't imagine him staying long - isn't alcohol ridiculously expensive there.


Does anyone use this word in a positive context?
Not in my back yard, they don't.

everything is, including Prince Polo bars which have started popping up in shops here and there because of the increasing Polish presence (and Icelanders supposedly like them a lot too, at least that's what the article mentioned).
