The service they provide is superb, they even make me a tea or a coffee while I'm waiting
I don't see this work ethic in natives who are at the lower end of the wage sector in the UK

I wonder how many of them are paying tax? This nonsense is what made me want to leave the EU 10 years ago, anyone would think we never coped or built anything before the polish got here, when all they did imo was undercut British workers and force them out of the marketplace.

If you think "the majority" of migrants are not receiving benefits of some sort, you would probably be shocked. And even more so when you realise many pay in a LOT less than they receive. Especially amongst the unskilled migrants from A8 countries. I know as I have seen the paperwork of quite a few.

Based on my considerable experience I'd say you're right, the days are gone when the polish would do all the hours god sent and live three to a room, I see it all the time now, can't do overtime as it'll affect my tax credits etc and tbh that's the reason why I voted remain, the reasons I had for leaving like them making the minimum wage the norm were no longer relevant.
