Mister H:
That's a pretty cheap shot there.

Point 1: Rational people don't bang on and on about how Polish people should get out of the UK on a forum about Polish culture.
Point 2: Wanting your country to be well-run with a measured level of immigration is not xenophobic.
Point 3: I had been drinking last night.

I don't "bang on" and have never said anyone should "get out" of the UK. My responses are measured.

That's all I want.

Point 3: I had been drinking last night.
If it was the drink talking, then ok, I hope you weren't too hungover.

The last two Polish people supplied by the agency we use were lazy and useless. One of them would struggle to pick up one shrub at a time whilst one of the full-time workers (another Pole) was almost strolling leisurely with one in each hand. So we phoned the agency and said we didn't want them back.

So surely the majority of emplyers look at the level and quality of work rather than nationality. If an agency has a worker rejected by enough companies, they will eventually drop them. The agencies we use tend to hire people from Poland, Lithuania and Slovakia these days, although in the past they have been from around the globe, including people born and raised locally.

You can't walk around with stun-guns when you save the hardest work for yourself.
Believe it or not, hard work is actually more fun than easy work.

What does help is being able to tell the lazy bastard that he is a lazy bastard in his own language.

Its not your home anymore, you've renounced it with your words and deeds. Enjoy wherever it is you are now and try not to feel to much like a 'thief of someone elses land, culture and wellbeing.'

MrBubbles:
British people who went to Germany in the 80s were just there to milk the DM cash cow?

this was a tiny very tiny minute to the amount we are receiving , not 2 million it's estimated around 24000 brits at the maximum worked in germany in 1983 if there was that many poles here i doubt people would bat an eye lid , it's the huge amount with thousands of brits losing jobs this insanity of the EU must stop it's totally crazy

what jobs? i just started working for swale borough council and even though i know equal opportunities are in place, 99%of the employees over there are british. in my department of council tax/benefits there are over 60 people employed including ONLY two immigrants (myself and an ukrainian girl).

btw, i have access to council tax benefit data for my area and NONE of the claimants i dealt with so far was an immigrant. all of them english. just thought you`d like to know.

I think it's just reward for those Poles who take the effort to better themselves by learning English. There will be options for a select few who can work for international firms here in Poland but the vast majority don't go down that road. Why do FCE or CAE? There must be some incentive.

That's the positive slant. There are those who 'use' the UK but enough has been said about that

Swale is not representative of Britain. Sittingborne for instance has the largest percentage of indigenous people of anywhere in the south east of England.

Incubus, I work in the exact same department for a very well known London Borough. A large number of my colleagues are immigrants. As for the benefit claimants, it is difficult to aportion a percentage, but lets just say a huge number of them are immigrants. This isn't necessarily a problem, I'm just pointing out the facts.

By the way, I wouldn't admit to going through a benefits or Council Tax database in order to identify the percentage of immigrants in your borough. It is illegal unless you have been tasked with it (which I very much doubt).

i wouldn`t go onto a databse JUST to check how many immigrants are claiming council tax benefit. i am on the database everyday and it is because of the tasks i am assigned, i deal with the correspondence and i have to check the details of the applicants are correct.

why would you doubt it?

Because you are probably a benefits assessor/officer. It would be the job of the Quality Control Team (or your equivalent) to compile data to this end.

I wasn't being totally serious. I would be lying if I said that some of my colleagues hadn't used our c/tax database to find out whether Sven Goran Ericsson or Jude Law had paid their Council Tax!!
