I'm guessing that most people who fuck tanned pussy probably do not spend too much time posting on forums, porn or otherwise.

Of course I am guessing but it is about as accurate as the daft 22,000 figure the ONS quotes.

Point taken although most Britons working in the Gulf don't pay taxes, which is why they are working there in the first place. I would guess (that word again) that most don't bunk up six to a room with their friends or sleep in public toilets as some (not all) eastern Europeans have been doing over here.

20p isn't much on accommodation.

If I had to choose between your guess based on nothing much in particular and a figure from the Office of National Statistics, I have no doubt who I would choose.

You make a statement of the bleeding obvious given that the British expats tend to be doing well paid jobs in the oil and IT industries in the Gulf whereas many Eastern Europeans are doing very poorly paid jobs. The underlying principle though of trying to save money to bring back with your still applies.

I will leave you to carry on guessing.

There are lies, damned lies and government statistics.

Are you seriously telling me that you believe of all 200,000 or so Poles who came over here, only a tenth are still here?

What I find most distressing about Labour's open door policy is that the people who suffered most an continue to suffer are the working class, the very people that Labour is supposed to help. But no doubt you will provide a raft of statistics saying the influx of eastern Europeans has helped the working classes...

Another question no one seems to be asking is how many British people are working cash in hand. Not paying taxes and nor are their companies. I know it's not the big corporate companies dodging corporation taxes but still the same offense.

"There are lies, damned lies and government statistics."

More statements of the bleeding obvious.

"Are you seriously telling me that you believe of all 200,000 or so Poles who came over here, only a tenth are still here?"

Obviously not. Pay attention. What I am saying is that I am more willing to believe a figure from the ONS than a guess from someone who appears to struggle to follow basic points being made.

"What I find most distressing about Labour's open door policy is that the people who suffered most an continue to suffer are the working class, the very people that Labour is supposed to help. But no doubt you will provide a raft of statistics saying the influx of eastern Europeans has helped the working classes.."

Again a complete failure on your part to pay attention. If you had bothered to search the forum you will find that I have stated on many occasions that it was very stupid of Labour to not setup up transitional arrangements for the Poles unlike most of Europe.

Secondly if you had bothered to read this thread properly you would see that my statement, "Err. you just appear to be guessing here. A bit like the Labour government's idiotic guess about how many Poles would come here" implies that I was not in favour of the approach taken.

I will bail out of this now. I do not want to spend my time correcting your posts.

Poles have a serious work ethic. My neighbour is Polish, a graduate and works hard. He is staying here and paying taxes. I cannot see the same happening with Romanians and Bulgarians. Their major exports are scamming, drugs, people smuggling and prostitution. They also have a taste for blood if anyone crosses them. I hope a few turn up in Blackpool where DJ will welcome them with open arms.....

Then you're naive.

Why should I search the forum? If I am reading a newspaper story I look at what is in front of me, I don't start searching archives for what they may have said days/weeks/months/before. I base my views on what is written in a particular thread not an accumulation of several different posts.
