I wouldn't mind but my manager said that it was so so rare for him to get any english applicants at all ever when he advertised jobs in the bar
Had similar experiences when I arrived here. London would grind to a halt without immigrants.
There has never been a shortage of jobs only a shortage of local applicants.

"When I speak of Fascism in England, I am not necessarily thinking of Mosley and his pimpled followers. English Fascism, when it arrives, is likely to be of a sedate and subtle kind (presumably, at any rate at first, it won’t be called Fascism)."

George Orwell

I'm aware of that. Those words were childish and stupid when he said them and remain so when repeated

That's how you come across to me here

UK is my country as much as Poland is. I hate what both of them have become under the hard right governments.

..it probably wasn’t the most helpful in relaying her point with the chopping off, of heads bit...she’s obviously getting frustrated..(..as many people are..)...with the rinse and repeat of ‘..it wAs a democratic vote by gosh and we’ll darn well Brexit whatever the cost and to whom because WE VOTED..’....when it’s imminently close with still no details of what Brexit will mean ...because the truth is that this is all the biggest country con ever...all built on lies with no foundation or substance of ‘making Britain Great again...’...


...but we’re a democratic country...except for now atm when we’re not...and that’s fine as well...whichever way tbh, Brexit is cool and easy...
