Well, you must know better so I won’t argue. A few years ago my Polish friend was working in Britain as a car mechanic. He was complaining people weren’t friendly talking about “Polish plumbers” as they called blue collar Poles stealing their jobs. I can’t say a thing first hand.
Firstly, apologies for being rude. I had a migraine when I was posting that. The post in hindsight reads with me being overly rude to you. Apologies.
Yes, there are some people who dont like Poles, although its more the swamp of immigration 1997-2010. Britain from around 2001-2007 had a huge influx of Poles and Eastern Europeans, esp the former. Due to relaxing of EU emigration laws and a lax UK immigration policy.
The Poles though generally were and are liked by the British. In fact they are now held up as examples of hard working immigrants, as opposed to a—lazy grasping immigrants, and b—lazy dole scrounging Brits, whose potential jobs the Poles quite rightly have stolen.
