Polish economy threatens UK

Apparently due to the strength of the Polish economy, migrants are unwilling to take menial jobs like picking strawberries causing problems for UK farmers.

From the BBC -

First, I don't believe it

Second, I don't blame the Polish workers if they decide not to take this terrible job

Third, there are plenty of Romanians and Bulgarians who would be willing to do it I'm sure.

Who will clean the toilets then?

well from what i know polish economy is improving, because everyone (ok not everyone but a lot of poles) goes to work to the uk/italy/germany and when they come back to poland they spend the money in poland a not in the countries they have earned the money.

...and so the European Union was born.

Do you have any stats showing how many people back to Poland? I'm not sure if there is so many of them...

I don't have any stats, but plenty of students go to the uk to earn some cash during the summer. My friends' parents live in italy/germany for 6+ months then they come back, and buy fancy stuff in Poland. Also people who decide to live abroad, they send some money to their parents and relatives. At all adds up.

Irish did it for a long time before the European union was even conceived.
Its not a shortcoming, the contrary in fact,

why don't they pay more, i'm sure if people really want to buy the strawberries they would pay a bit more.

In monetary terms I think its £4billion per year.

Again we have farmers Bu*****ing about something. The crops were picked before the Poles came here and its a problem because the farmers don't want to pay good wages. **** job for **** money. No thanks.

Rent, clothes, food, utilities, travel, sundries....lol..of course they are not spending it in the country were they are :) Oh lets not forget electrical goods and the odd good night out :)

Maybe he just thought he'd let the retard have his say :)



been watching a few too many cockney films me thinks :)

Are you really serious about this subject?

one again another nasty comment from two member of this forum.........(that why i do the same) but the irish bigot let off some people and them banned people like puzzler but....are others doing the same? i think we do,)
polish , english or spanish not are better than romanians or bulgarians ...we are the same and we got the same right but i dont know why some of you dont think that.....anyway **** off you two

True.

"Polish economy threatens UK"

He he he ...and Mexican economy threatens USA! :)

The title of the thread is there to get your attention.

The article is patronising to Polish people. It reads as tho the farmers are hard done by, while everyone else benefits. Imagine the Polish not wanting to pick fruit!

Because they can get the BBC to put out stories which tell people they might not get any strawberries unless the government issue more permits for cheap labour.
