Yes, all the good ones are heading home, leaving the useless feckers to survive on state handouts. No doubt.

At least we know where there's plenty of work if we need it.

Chris Zietkowski, 34, a Polish painter and decorator, told The Times that he wanted to return home this year. “Two years ago I could make five times the amount of money here than I could in Poland,” he said. “Now the wages are about the same and the living costs in the UK are much higher. There is a lot of work in Poland, probably more than in the UK. It’s a good time to go back.

They have a better national football team too.

Krakow is on the shortlist of venues for a mate's stag do later in the year. Probably a bit more interesting than Amsterdam again, which is ok for window shopping, but it gets expensive if you want to take them home.

OK, mess the place up then leave.
