Live from Polski Sklep. Some polish already planning return

The Daily Express isn't a well regarded newspaper. You are much better of asking people you meet why they decided to come to the UK as you can get some funny replies.

Is deeper than that.

[Benny]

The British needs to stop and think why the Pols are in the UK,

Is it anything like

• Poland is a dump?

Deeper.

Try to change the perspective.

I live in London. Have Polish friends. Get to hear a lot of similar stories. Kids beaten up at school, asked when they are going back to Poland. Not fun.

replace Polish by negroes, pakistani or Indians and the outrage would be in every paper

Poland is a deep dump ?

No wonder we've got brexit since such dumb people were allowed to vote on such complicated topic.

Odd how in the 70's it was a simple in or out vote eh?

As for Polish, I grew up in Hastings where there are strong ties to the Polish community (and have been since WW2). I see the same thing here in Manchester. Things are very different in Bournemouth (where my SIL lives) where these 'foreigners' are taking our jobs etc etc. Oddly the only time you see an Asian is in the Indian restaurant (where, I understand they have to endure most kinds of casual racism). So I guess if you live in an area that went through all of the immigration from the 50's on wards then there's a different perspective. I do note however that most East Europeans have a healthy disrespect for Romanians.

Not romanian but gypsies. The same way as english towards irish travellers. Long list of reasons for this.
