Sorry I dont understand this logic , no matter where someone comes from, be it eastern Europe, Africa or the far east their living costs in the UK are the same as those as the native born , a loaf of bread is the same price to a Pole as it is for a Brit , Accomodation costs are probably more since 'they' don't have established roots or local conections and are at the mercy of housing speculators, and the fact that they can save and remit money back to their families in their homelands says something
