Just spent most of my day helping a polish man who works with my husband,find a decent flat. He's away from his wife and kids, working hard,not sponging off the tax payer. Would like to know if you think i did a good thing or i'm daft for supporting an immigrant here to work,thanks.

Anything you do with good intentions and from the kindness of your heart is a good deed!

I'm sure you did a good thing.
Personally I am not happy with the amount of Polish etc coming here - you will see from a previous post how badly my partner and I are struggling and competition from Eastern Europe is not helping us one bit. You said that your partner had a good job and so I guess Polish immigration is not affecting you in that way, and you are OK about it.
Me personally I would not have helped. I would have wanted to see him go home to his wife and kids and free up a job for someone like my partner. But as you are no doubt OK financially and not in the situation we are in I'm sure you are not bothered by Easter EU immigration. Its all a matter of perspective.

I think you did a very good deed. Well done. That man will remember what you did for him and it will colour his view of this country and our people. He won't brand us all a load of baddies. What goes around does eventually come around. A long time ago at work, I was nice to someone's wife. No big deal. Many years later, the man was in an important job with a choice of contractors to use. He used my company because I'd been kind to his wife and I got a bonus. I'd completely forgotten my good deed - but he hadn't. Good on you.

You did a good thing.... After all, he's a human being just trying to make his way in the world. Not all immigrants are lowlifes....
The Polish are some of the most hardworking people in Europe...

What defines a good deed? People approve of so called good deeds because it benefits them or society.
In this case, the Polish man benefited as indeed you have by gaining praise on here.

The issue of immigration is one for politiicians to decide. It shouldn't prevent anyone from doing a good deed, and helping someone in need. Which is what you have just done. Good on you.

Don't worry about the opinions of these people. Worry about what God thinks. In his eyes there are no borders to limit you from helping a HUMAN being. You did a wonderful thing regardless of this mans legal status!! God bless you!! :o)

Why are you doubting what you have done? If you think that you have done a good deed then why are you questioning it. If the man was grateful for your services then consider it a job well done. As long as he knows that they are the only services you are offering!!!

You helped a person.... full stop - feel good about it!
Far too much hang up everywhere on where people are from, at the end of the day we're all human beings!

I think youve done a really lovely thing. I always think it must be so hard for some of these people who are working here from poland or wherever,they are away from their families,English is not their first language,it must be difficult,Id hate to do it,so yes,that was lovely of you.
