Today’s edition of Gazeta Wyborcza and its Internet portal - Gazeta.pl refers to the latest results of the poll-survey among the Polish emigrants in British Isles (Great Britain and Ireland). The survey was conducted by institute “ARC Rynek i Opinia” among 1389 Poles at the airports throughout the Isles.
In Ireland and Britain, most of us perform manual labour and earns about 7,500 zloty per month, compared to 700 - 1500 zloty per month in Poland, and the salaries are the most important reason why many of us decided to stay, or at least decided not to come back to Poland in next 5 - 10 years. Also important reason is the fact that many of us settled down very well.
In my opinion there is another very important factor that prevent us from thinking about coming back. It is a economical chaos and tough rule of the far right side, populist government in Poland. They are wasting time for hunting commies, gays and lesbians, Satans (as our prime minister called opposition parties) or struggling with Polish doctors trying to force them to work for 200 - 300 Euro per month. As for the doctors - they are massively leaving their jobs in hospitals due to the very poor salaries, accusations of corruption from the ministry of justice and the very bad attitude and intentions expressed by the parties in rule during the negotiations.
