Hard working Poles doing the jobs “British” Muslims won’t do.
That’s actually the essence of this story.
True, but today’s headlines has nothing to do with those few. It is Muslims with Mohammad as the most used name for new babies. Britain is simply being over-run with Islamos and Eastern Europeans simply have nothing to do with the huge rise of population increases in Britain.
I'm afraid that is simply not so, although it's understandable you should think it is if you're only source of information on the subject is the tendentious media coverage which usually gets picked up on this forum. It's not muslims who are responsible for the huge rise in attendance at Catholic churches in my part of England, with priests having to be brought in from Poland to satisfy the demand! If you care to look at the population trend analyses on the Office for National Statistics website, you will see a rather different story:

Thank you for your info. It is interesting that the British press other than the Guardian still think Muslims are overloading the nation. Eastern Europeans are not bad for the nation but my friend, Muslims are.
