Poles flee our sinking ship


According to the Sunday Times Polish workers are leaving Ireland at a rate of 140 a day, with 15,000 returning home since July. Having bled this country dry for the past four years, taking €2bn out of the Irish economy this year alone, they have decided to jump ship and return home to live like kings, fat and rich having leeched off the success of the Celtic Tiger (RIP) to the detriment of the people of Ireland.

When Poland joined the EU in 2004 we were one of only three nations to to place no restrictions on the citizens of the new accession states. Instead of taking action to protect the Irish worker the traitors in Leinster House opened the floodgates and welcomed hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals to come to our shores, all in the name of 'competitiveness'.

None of these 'New Irish' as they have been Christened by the left wing media had to undergo any sort of background checks, so that on top of our own criminals we have now imported rapists, thieves and murderers from all over eastern Europe.

But the most damaging repercussion of this unrestricted immigration has been the effect it has had on the working class people of Ireland. The Poles and the other 'New Irish' came here with only one thing on their mind - money. Happy to take any job going on whatever terms they were offered they are a Capitalists dream. Consequently they have undercut the Irish worker and we have been forced to either accept the same low pay and conditions or be out of a job. If you have a family to support and a mortgage to pay it is not possible to survive on minimum wage, yet this is the situation that many Irish workers have been forced into.

Now that our economy is in tatters and the boom years are over the Polish workers are saying do widzenia to Ireland and going home at last, bellies full and bank balances healthy. The people of Ireland don't say good bye, we say good riddance.
