Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, so that gives them the right to come and steal jobs of the British...
Of course I know they are paying tax - but they save money and then buy property in Poland with it.
so... they gain a house in their own country, all the while working for peanuts and taking a job of a UK worker as they will work for peanuts.
does not seem right too me...
We had a very close connection, with Poland for at least 100 years before WWII. The amount of of trade between out two nations, before the war, has never been paralleled with any other nation since!
How many British people buy second homes, not only in the Lakes or the West Country (which actually displaces local people into cities et al or comes to a point where locals cannot buy property due to teh high costs because of second homes)? Or what about teh British who buy second homes in Spain, Portugal et al - infact it is getting quite lucrative to buy 2nd homes in eastern Europe nowdays - how do you think the locals feel being priced out by us Brits?
If the only way to play the Brits at their own game - just to secure their own home in their own town/country, then so be it! Its one of the reasons I moved overseas to earn more money, to save and buy property back in Bolton - as house prices exceeded what I could afford!!!
How many Brits work in the Middle East, tax free, taking jobs away from the Arabians and send money back home etc etc etc - just like the Poles?
