Polish people. Good or Bad?

Answer 1

Good. I like their culture - they work hard. they've been through a rough time in the past and so appreciate what they can get. They obviously resent what is going on in Poland - they still have a lot of problems and some of their views may appear a little dated. But I chat to my friend in Poland and he worked 14 hours a day to get the money to marry and he went to America to work for a while - they generally prefer to go abroad and work - make money and go home. They don't abandon their native country for money like some cultures readily do.

Answer 2

Every time a question arises about Poles in the UK, I have answered very positively and enthusiastically, becuase I like them a great deal.

Now some people claim that they're just like anybody else from any other country, and that it is unfair to judge people by race.

However, I did a bit of a survey of all the Polish questions, and looked at all the replies. I also looked at other opinions about other people.

I was absolutely stunned by what I discovered. I reckon that the Poles must be the most popular people in the UK, because the average positive count amounts to about 95% of those who have responded to Polish immigrant questions, with only a very few dissenting voices.

I took a few young Polish students on a day out to York, because I wanted them to see England at its very best, and they were just bowled over by it. All of them wanted to pay their way, but I would hear nothing of it, and treated them as guests.

It's a measure of their charm, that each and every one of them asked me to visit Poland and stay with them, and allow them to show me around Krakow, Warsaw and Poznan.

A Czech friend reckons that they are "more stupid than chickens," because chickens can't fly from danger. So they find a friendly farmer, who makes them safe and gives them food.
All the chicken has to do is lay eggs, but they do that anyway.

My Czech friend says, "That makes chickens brighter than Poles, because Poles work for nothing."

Anyway, joking apart, and to answer the original question, I think the Poles I have met have been better than good....maybe even "fantastic.".

Answer 3

I've worked on IT projects for several countries.

The Polish were the hardest working, and the most detailed. I couldn't fault their hard work and commitment.
The only negative thing was that they wanted to provide for the nth degree of "what if" in every situation. the project would have never gone live if we'd gone into the detail they wanted!

I would always be pleased to work with them in the future.

Maybe some of the English people on benefits could learn something from them!!!!

Answer 4

The same as an earlier answer:
Don’t bother coming here figures announced on the news last night stated “there has been a rise in the unemployment figures mainly due to an increase in population” this is caused by an increase of people coming to this country. Stay away we even have Americans over here claiming political asylum claiming that they are discriminated at home, the truth is that they have a better life over here on state handouts than they ever could in the US.
Basically you or any others are not needed or wanted we have enough qualified people over here we do not need our unemployment figures to keep rising.

Answer 5

I know a number of Polish people and they tend to be a hard working and helpful people.

Answer 6

I'm from a country next to Poland and also live in UK. I know they work hard, but they are satisfied with beggar's wage and look dead scruffy and then people assume other immigrants from nearby countries are just like that. Next time when someone asks me if I'm Polish I swear I'll never talk to that person again. So to answer your question, I'm sure they're all right, but not for me.

Answer 7

I am sure that the people are good, but that misses the point, it isn't personal. Governments can't run immigration policy on a personal basis. They have to operate strategically at governmental level in the long term interest of the country. Not on the basis of, they look like a nice young couple.

Answer 8

i never understood the point of all the polish jokes. is there anyone out there anymore that actually has a problem with polish people?

Answer 9

I just spent 5 days in Krakow on a stag break. The people were fantastic, and very helpful. They are proud of their country and what we did for them in liberating the concentration camps during WW2. they are working in the UK because the wages are so awful in Poland. We spoke to a lovely waitress who earned the equivalent to £1 per hour, and she worked a 16hr day. We watched her for a while and she worked so hard, and always managed a smile.
So maybe you should take a trip there yourself to see whether or not they are good or bad people.

Answer 10

It is always bad to polish people without their permission. if a couple are involved in mutual consensual polishing (say perhaps with a can of mr sheen and a duster) then that is just fine - but to polish a stranger without so much as a by your leave is not the done thing.
