The post you are reporting:
Personally I do not think that British people are going to Poland to do what over there are minimum wage jobs, as they would be getting about 1.5 euros an hour. They would have less than JSA here in Britain, considering that JSA also entitles one to housing benefit and council tax benefit.
It's more likey they are doing work such as painting and decorating, or are experienced in the building industry.
Brian, forget not that in Poland they have the Zloty, not the euro, so that might also - hopefully - alter your attitude on Britain adopting the euro.
The Zloty might explain why Poland is doing eceonomically better than most, if not all, euro-zone countries.
On the whole, Poles, when they become unemployed in Britain, return to Poland, rather than signing on here, as they prefer to work, and if they had to sign on, they'd do so in Poland. Poles do have dignity, and are renowned for this.
I agree with Alan that many unemployed British people would work, if they got vacant jobs with a decent wage, and were even taken into consideration by the factory employers (which usualy they are not).
