That is only part of the story.

After talking to several Poles most of them are only here short term to make a set amount of money. One I spoke to was here to make say £10k. He would then take that money home to use to but a house for his family.

They tend to live together in shared houses to reduce the cost. They try to spend as little money as possible so are not really adding to the local economy. The whole idea is to take money out of the UK back home.
