I am Polish and I work with British people and I agree not all of them are lazy. The thing is that people seem to think all Eastern Europeans who came here work whilst there has been reports of many being on the dole after getting out of work so we are certainly not "taking the jobs" as some unemployed people seem to think, we don't get anymore of an advantage when applying for a job neither.
I am close friends with one British nationalist and even the nationalists agree that Poles are not a problem as opposed to non-white immigration, mixed race and Muslims.
The whole "English hate Poles" is largely taken out of context by the media. Most do not hate us, only half a dozen. Same as not all people think Germans are Nazis yet the media try and portray that. Anything that sells will be told in the papers.

"Eastern Europens" often refers to gypsies (In Finland). In Finland everyone knows whatkind of people gypsies are. As for Polish, never problem with them.
Heavy drinkers as we finns. Sauna, Perkele.
Almost as good as we finns, close enough.

Same in Germany. Lots of Germans are envious of us that we go study at university and working hard for our money. It's always easier to bash a european minority than some Turks or Blacks. You don't get called racist.

Leaving aside the funny but obviously irrelevant argument about who's prettier (we are. Hands down) I myself have no problem with Poles. They assimilate quickly, they work hard, they're white. Many of my closest friends are Poles or other Eastern Europeans. I think most British people agree with me.

It's not so much the immigration per se, rather it is the scale of immigration. Too many at once. That being said, Poles are less likely to scream racism (being white and European) and rely on anti-racist legislation in the same way Blacks and Asians do.
