    Brian, technically, Britain needs a financial bailout, but using funds from within, not with money from abroad.

    There are only some countries that in theory have the financial capacity to lend massive sums of money, such as China, Saudi Arabia, but if these lent enormous amounts to the EU, they would want the money back with interest at some point, through continuous payments, as is the case with a loan when it is repaid.

    Currently, the two great lenders of the eurozone, Germany and France, have almost no money to lend out, and have massive exposures to other bailed-out economies of the eurozone.

    Personally I see for Britain only one way to pull out of the immediate financial crisis, just as a starter, and that is to impose a one-off super taxation on the very rich.

    This probably goes beyond the thread's declared intentions, which are Brits seeking some form of employment in Poland, a country where the currency is not the euro.

    No doubt a far cry from the number of Poles working in Britain, but a good indicator that in Poland all is not lost.
    It might be that Poland recovers financially, and creates more employment for local people there, so that Poles find it easier to find work in their own cities and villages.

    This would ease the pressure on the British employment market, freeing jobs for the British. But what if then millions of Bulgarians and Romanians come along and want jobs here?

    We'd be back to base 1, there'd be no hope for us.
    We already have large Latvian and Lithuanian communities working in England.

    I don't know what work you do, Brian, but I am self-employed, and am not entitled to minimim wage, sickness pay, holiday money, redundancy.
    I fight a hard day by day battle to get along financially, and for 40 hours a week work I get peanuts.

    No cosy life for me, Brian!
