I've worked with many Poles & have found them friendly hardworking & take the time to learn English perfectly! & they're not scroungers!

Let the Polish hard workers stay and put the lazy British state spongers on army training courses with hard rations until they realise you get what you work for.

Too big an influx of people for this country to cope with.

PEOPLE WHO ARE UNEMPLOYED WHY DIDNT THEY GO FOR JOBS THAT THE POLISH PEOPLE GO FOR?

As an immigration officer I see hundreds of eastern Europeans every week heading for the UK. This can only put incredible strain on the schools and NHS due to language difficulties.

My son works for a company where 70% of employees are Polish. It was the same at the last place he worked which was in construction. Until we can train and fully employ our own people why should we be giving away our jobs. It's hard enough for our young people this situation makes it near on impossible.
Anon

Forget the good skills of the Polish.. What about them taking our university places�
Kevin, Canterbury

The health and safety and inspector would have a field day. As you just saw that Polish man did not have good enough English.

Polish are a good thing. They work much harder than many British workers. Maybe they can teach some Brits to be less lazy and up to work rate.

I feel that any one in the UK who wants a job can get one . Foreign labour picks up the short fall .

As far as I'm concerned it's about productivity and attitude-if they are better in these areas then they have the right to the job!

I am worried for mine and my child's future unemployment has been going up since the Government let them in. The Poles are hard workers. Welcome.
Martin, Eastbourne

Hastings should be twinned with Timbuktu as both towns have shocking transport links!
Steve Springthorpe, Hastings

I think St Leonards should be twinned with Timbuktu as if they bring in the parking charges then businesses will close and people will go elsewhere leaving it 'deserted'!
