Poles secured automatic right of entry, as EU citizens, when Poland joined the EU a few years back. The reasons for the influx are entirely economic - higher wages, and a great demand for both skilled and unskilled labour of the kind the Poles were willing and able to supply. There are already some signs of the numbers easing as the Polish economy develops and the zloty increases in value against the pound.
Thank you for that information and explanation.
If I were Britain, I would prefer the Polish immigrants to stay...but if I were Polish....I would get OUT of Britain before it totally collapses into anarchy and tyranny.
And I say that with the greatest sorrow....England has always held a special place in my heart....
