If there was a place in the world where a British person could do a job like, for example, serving in a cafe and earn the equivalent of £30,000 if they sent the money back to the UK I'm sure many people would up sticks and move.
Yes, I am pretty sure they would too.
It says a lot about the attitudes of the Poles. They are prepared to leave their homeland, suffer privations, endure bad living conditions in order to get work and make a better life for themselves and their families...they aren't sitting on the bones of their ar$e holding out a begging bowl.
That is the difference, Once our people would have done that too....but welfare has encouraged people into a life of dependency.
You don't need to spend too much time out of the workplace before you lose the confidence that is required to function efficiently in it.

What is the answer? I don't know, but it sure as hell isn't keep on racking up the benefits. It won't be too long before there are people coming in from the EU and they will want exactly the same benefits everyone else is getting without having put a single penny into the pot....they won't go to France, they won't go to Germany...they will come here with the soft option benefits system.
