    ^ I am under no illusion about that ,, and I have friends who have been there and done it for 7 years now .

    I have to weigh up everything cost of living etc in the UK as opposed to living in Thai ,, in the UK I would no different to any of my nearby neighbours I would be " existing "

    I wouldn't be living .

    However the most important driver in my life is my wife , who TBH don't wanna leave here at the mo ,, and I have had to remind her I want to retire whilst I am still young enough to enjoy it , however she will have the final say , she has given more to me than I could have ever wished for in the last 4 years , so I owe her.

    The UK has a fantastic NHS to which I have been a contributor for the last 40 + years and THANKFULLY never drawn from it ,, YES I will miss it when the time comes , but when my time comes I will have to accept it as it falls .

    In the meantime those who are left behind in this sorry mess will have to listen more and more to their overpowering bosses as they crush them into the floor .

    Something so very wrong here

    Not yours ,, you are a different generation ,,

    In my working years we fought hard through a closed shop trade union ,, not for pay rises ,, never in the 20 years I was in there BUT for terms and conditions ,, terms to support each other ,, terms to stop the boss wiping the floor with you and fellow workers ,, terms to give a reasonable , living pension for the working man ,,, terms and conditions that would never have been allowed to go on as they are now ,, exploiting the far eastern men and women who come here to look after our elderly that we discard as a Country for them to look after 24 hours a day @ £6.18p per hour.

    It's the Polish that allowed communism to florish
    for example if they joined the party they got double wages for doing the same job ,they didn't seem care if it meant spying on thier workmates etc
    People in Britain ,the master race ,did not fall for that shite .
    Thick as fuck they were , a bit like that horse in Orwell's Animal Farm , boxer I think it was called ,worked himself to death then was sent to the glue factory..

    Hang on, isn't that just what the British government is doing ,with tax credits and especially to the young :
    give all thier jobs to immigrants , then scold them and hand them welfare to buy cheap cider and cannabis that has been conveniently decriminalised .

    I'm not racist. I believe in nations.

    Economics aside... nations of people who speak the same language, have the same culture and background work best. Things always work more harmonious and efficient this way.

    There's always going to be a healthy minority of immigrants who fill certain gaps, and add to our culture and make the place a more interesting place.. but things are getting unhealthy now i think.

    I'm sure there's a lot of good people out there who came here to work hard and live a normal life.. i wouldn't kick anyone out (except the criminals).. but PLEASE close the doors lol Before the Romanians and Bulgarians come for their piece of the pie in 2014.

    Spare me the poor communist Poland bullshit. They embraced it with their Russian Slavic brothers.

    They're just a corrupt, greedy and opportunistic people and their country will never amount to anything even with the endless EU investment. All their people are running away to parasite off other nations!

    I've got some good friends here who are polish that I work with. I can't really fault them for their sincerity and hard work. They do keep away from other poles here though who are just here to hoard cash and stay in their own social group. They say these types have no respect for the country they work in. You can normally tell these apart as they repeatedly say korva korva korva in conversations

    How can you compare people who were living under a brutal Communist dictatorship for generations with the people of Western Europe? Communism devastated Eastern Europe. The Communists killed over 50 million people in 2 generations, not including the organized famines in places like Ukraine that killed at least 10 million children. The Communists corrupted the police force, indoctrinated the population with anti-West, anti-modernization views, the Communists made people accustom to living off government handouts, the Communists stole the people's money, and then, when Communism collapses, the money of the people disappeared.

    Do you think the UK would be anywhere as near as wealthy as it is had it not been for the US bailing it out after WW2? No such luck for the East, they had The Soviet Union.

    You should take a look at your life, from when you were young to where you're at now and be thankful you were one of the worlds lucky ones. Stop being so fucking hateful you ignorant [at][at][at][at]. You're a fucking joke.
    The fucking SEPPOS robbed the U.K before ,during and after the the war to the point of bankruptcy and then fucked off back to SEPPOLAND to practice what they had learnt.Hey Presto 50 years later they are bankrupt too.Karma is a kunt.

    Because he's clearly in the majority of contemporary mindsets and character of Anglo UK.

    Less, they seem forget what they put upon the world for a century-and-a-half.

    No sorry Doc ,, misunderstood me ,, what I am on about is ( metaphorically speaking ) how as trade unionists we fought for terms + conditions over the years for the working man .

    Terms which have been wiped out by successive Tory governments to see the working man go down in a race to the bottom ,, its all had it now , everywhere I go each day to deliver people are just at each others throats , running round scared of their own shadows.

    The current Tory gov are trying to demolish the last little bit of protection the working man had by bringing in zero contracts i.e. going back to the days where men used to form a queue outside the gate each day for a days work ,, no holiday pay ,, and instant dismissal at the whim of the boss ,, with no compensation clause built in .

    The naysayers will be along in a minute to herald the demise of the trade unions , however I can't even be arsed with that one . No one in their right mind can convince me Britain is a better place to live and work in compared to say 15 - 20 years ago.

    The Poles are welcome to it ,, infact its so bad here now many of them have gone back home in their droves as they are better of in Poland now

    Haha. No they ain't don't believe that shite the BBC news website feeds you. They're flooding here every year. over a hundred thousand a year.

    If they lose their job they just go on benefits. Better than working for £200 a month in Poland.

    And to prove it here's one of their "expat" forums. Translated with Google Chrome of course!




    LOADS of websites and forums exist for the Polish community in the UK.

    You've only got to go into any Tesco you see fit young men sat at the checkout ,20 years ago you never saw that as they could get twice as much on a construction site, but since the min wage has become THE wage for many jobs people just go for the easiest job
    cannot be good for society and the economy to have the wages skewed like that .
    But many people are better off finacialy than 20 years ago mainly those working as consultants , or running 'charties' or those in non-jobs

    Whilst in the UK I asked a bus driver if the bus went passed along a specific road. I believe he was Polish. He threw his hands in the air and said arrogantly "I don't know". I said "you are the driver?". He then got even more irate an said " I just drive the bus, I don't know which roads we go". Fcuk 'em.

    I noticed that on my return to my home town that there's a big increase in 'Charity Shops'. Must get special rates reduction, based on them being registered charities?

    Yes, they do. Its cheaper to let a building out at zero rent, and have the charity pay their reduced rates, than the landlord have no tenant, and have to pay the full rate on an empty property. In fact, some of the council properties are being offered at zero rates for the first year in my area.

    if folk read the last volume of Churchill's history of the second world war, they will appreciate just how Poland got shafted. The country lost in so many ways.

    Having said that, I have found Polish bus drivers in the Hereford area to be uncommonly surly.

    We went to war with Germany for Poland.. those ungrateful cunts speak about "betrayal" and all that crap.

    They also mention the 303 Squadron who fought in the Battle of Britain at every opportunity.

    I don't disrespect these pilots but they were only about 100 men. In the grand scheme of things they didn't save us or even fight for us. They were exiled from their country. wanted some revenge and we gave them planes.. simple as!

    Except no British troops actually went there to defend Poland against the Wehrmacht in 1939.

    Our declaration of war with Germany over the invasion of Poland wasn't designed to help the Poles. It wasn't a theatre of warfare that the British army could even fight in.
