I have moved to Luton (someone has to) and quite often when I walk round town, or the local supermarket, the language I hear spoken most is Polish. I was mushroom picking in West Sussex and Bedfordshire, and the woods were crawling with Polish families out picking mushrooms. According to R4 ~300K Poles came to the UK in the last year. Estate agents tell me that the letting market is kept afloat by Poles.
So, anyone still wonder why the housing market has not collapsed? Obviously the housing market is kept afloat by demand, in large part due to the massive immigration.
So why is this issue not being talked about anywhere? I recall that when the Tories mentioned it, Labour called them racists, and the tag stuck. Why? Labour predicted that no more than a few thousand Poles would immigrate. Maybe the other parties are useless.
At least there's no shortage of plumbers. Or Polish bread.
Fungus.
