Many of the Poles who moved to Britain over the last 15 years are considering a return to their home country, according to recent reports.
When Poland joined the European Union in 2004, Britain offered great opportunities to the young people of a country afflicted by an unemployment rate of about 20 per cent.
Even Poles fortunate enough to have a job earned on average less than a quarter of the salary their compatriots were paid in the UK once Tony Blair had opened the British labour market to them (some seven years before the EU required it).
