I’ve worked in Switzerland for decades, with swarms of well paid Brits, who wouldn’t go back to their beloved country for anything in the world. I am now spending some of my time in Spain, where lots of Brits work and make a decent living – harder at the moment with the crisis, of course. Hundreds of thousands more retired to the sun in Spain, France, Italy and other locations in southern Europe. In fact, Brits are the biggest single foreign group in Spain. I haven’t heard many people complaining about the British immigrants, even if they compete for jobs and business with the locals. As for Polish pilots and other troops which fought along the Allies during WWII, the difference is, besides thousands giving their lives on all the battlefields of WWII, they got suitably shafted by Churchill, Roosevel and Stalin, who gave the Soviets all of eastern Europe at the stroke of a pen, as if it was their to give. So, while western Europe profited from the Marshally Plan and was busy rebuilding, Poles were being purged by Stalin’s goons. Polish troops, after all the praise from Churchill, were not invited to the Victory Day parade in London. It’s actually surprising that they want to come to work in the UK and that they don’t resent having been shafted at the end of WWII.
