    My Polish friends tell that things are really bad in Poland. Relatively speaking we have it much better here. Pay there is a quarter of what it is here for the same jobs and a lot of things are more expensive as a proportion of wages.

    Because there are still loads of Irish here on welfare depending on them.

    Better weather? Really? Weather in mainland Europe is far more stable.

    As for food Polish people dont like our food much hence why all the Polski Skeps have opened selling their own food and dunnes has a polish section

    We need them to pay back back the banks

    Why is everything about the f*cking economy.

    Maybe they like the countryside, the cobblestones in Temple Bar, the proximity to the sea, the hilariously unpredictable weather.

    Surprisingly not everyone sees the economy as the be-all and end-all for a country.

    As an Irish person working aboard, I truly hope my host country doesn't think the same of me or mine.


    OP banned.
