Polish aggressors siphon £1 billion out of UK economy

Pimp or not only a stupid person would pass up taking in more hot chicks.

I'm all for this country getting an infusion of fresh genes given the specimens I teach.

and thats why the UK Gov/Private Sector should be aggressively investing and helping the government of poland. those pounds that are sent back to poland to be spent in poland so why not cater to that 1 billion dollars in poland.

Just as well I asked. I was about to reply : "Why, are you a whore needing management?"

US =/ UK in this regard. You have lower tax, less public services paid for by the taxpayer and less of an extreme demand for land. I agree, immigration in the US is generally of a positive effect. I'm a lot less inclined to agree that it has for the UK as well.

The last thing the UK, in the long term, needs is population growth.

Re services, given the demographic of the Poles and other economic migrants the public service requirements are quite low. Little of the £100bn NHS, little of the £80bn spent on education, they tend not to be drawing pensions, and aren't over for the unemployment benefits. There are local services, but they pay their council taxes.

It's 10-20 years down the line when demographics change that are more of a concern.

won't the Poles with the pounds have to utimately spend them on UK goods

[Japher]

Sounds like the Poles have decided to save money by eliminating their Government Mint... Doing so, however, has required them to import money.

Erm, no. Other countries are available.

But if you are using pounds, the ultimate destination is the UK

[Cort Haus]

No, the ultimate destination of the £50 notes is the international currency market. Poles with pounds convert their pounds into Euros or zlotys and spend them on things that are unlikely to be UK goods.
