EU expats are returning to the continent as "everything in Britain is collapsing", says a Polish national still living here.
Tomasz Orynski, a Polish freelance journalist who left Britain less than two years ago after a 17-year stay, shared a conversation on X (formerly Twitter) this week with a friend still residing in Glasgow.
His friend revealed plans to move back to Poland soon and said some had already gone back to the EU, citing various reasons - from the cost of living crisis to healthcare access issues.
The friend claimed to be "the only person in her work who still has access to a dentist", as dental surgeries are "so overwhelmed" they're turning away patients - "even privately".
In Battlefield, Glasgow, where both Tomasz and his friend once lived, she told him rents have skyrocketed to the point where even those earning more than them "can't afford to live there". Tomasz's friend lamented: "Everything is so bloody expensive that even though I make £60,000 in my current job I feel just as when I was making less than £35,000 in the last one." The journalist added that some of his other friends still in Scotland "haven't seen a pay rise for five years now".

Completely disagree!
If they hadn’t left the collapse would be happening faster!
The failure was their elites trying to have it both ways be just as EU as they are British. Only be British enough to keep the lower classes happy. Sop for that out-of-date patriot thing.
Poland is on my list of places to retire. Sadly though, Russians are buying up every scrap of land that becomes available. Just like Californicators do in the USA. Zakopane is a fabulous area. I mean Zakopane is a terrible terrible place. Do not go. Ugly landscape. Terrible food. No diversity... stay away.
The UK is a conquered dar Al Islam.
I haven’t heard about the Hindu response to the invading islamic hordes. When pushed in to a corner the Hindus have been quite savage.
The UK is a fag country of mongrels and losers.
Legal immigration is one of the dumbest moves in Western civilization’s history.
