Poland might leave the EU

[rhubarbcrumbles]

Awful for all the Polish workers here who may well have to leave the UK when Brexit happens and then, if they leave the EU, won't be able to work elsewhere in the EU either.

What an awful situation for them to be in, all that uncertainty.

It’s Polwyjście

No, no, no. It should be Polskit! The Dutch will be Nexit, the cursed Hungarians Hexit and finally Romania Rexit.

I've read exit so many times now it doesn't look like a real word 😂

I do have to laugh at people thinking there are loads of countries just waiting for the UK to triumph without the EU, so they can join in too. I have a relative who thinks the same, hes convinced once the almighty Britain do it, it will inspire everyone else.

Well, Euroscepticism is very real.

This is rubbish put about by Brexiteers.

If its rubbish why would several of the leaders of the EU say that they would make the deal with the EU as harsh as possible to stop others from leaving?

I'm not going to claim that there is a massive queue to leave, but lets not pretend that the EU isn't/wasn't very scared of other countries following the UK's lead.

No, the Dutch will be Duxit.

The French will take French leave.

Czexit.
What would Slovakia have?🤔
Because Sloxit will take for... Eveeeerrrrr

Definitely has to be PoGo. Unsure about Hungary - Hung-Out?

Finland would be Finit (French)
Croatia - Croak It
Austria - Ostracise It.

Hungary: Hunny I Shrunk The EU

rhubararkle no, we voted no and changes were made to the treaty before it was brought back but crack on with the lines you've been taught

Good news!!

There will always be issues for EU members. It does t mean they will automatically want to leave though.

I hope the polish people settled here don't have to leave the UK if that happens.
I was seriously ill in hospital for over 3 weeks in August and most of the nursing assistants , the cleaners, the food people too and porters were polish.
Honestly they were so kind to me.
I could have died and they were so compassionate with my kids.
The nursing staff and doctors were so understaffed that they were stretched so thinly .
Once I was out of ICU and on the normal ward they were angels.
Very scary time and I've never been so grateful.
Who's going to fill all of those jobs?
In my area we have a lot of farms and they rely on the polish workers.
They are hard working and loyal.

PoGo.

@rhubarbarkle mmmm what about all of the brits that call themselves "ex pats" instead of immigrants in Spain , Portugal and the canaries etc ?
They rarely integrate with the locals.
I lived on one of the Canary Islands for 3 years and the majority of English people living there had no Spanish or just a few words!
They lived in areas full of other English people.
Used English supermarkets, cafes ( full English ) and even bloody Sunday roasts in the pub.
They'd get stuff delivered by a company from shops like Argos .
We lived in a traditional Canarian area learnt Spanish , lived and socialised with the community and loved life.
Only came back because of my child's health and needing family support.
The English would complain the locals hated them but what they hated was their ignorance.
In my area polish people are part of the school and wider community.
I think your comments are very uncalled for.

@rhubarbarkle that's not the vast majority. Lots of Polish people here in SW London with bilingual kids, married to UK people, integrating perfectly well.

Here in Cardiff it depends. I do know a few Polish people who've been here for years and don't speak English very well because they house share and work with other Polish people. That happens with any group when there's a large community, though.
I'm sure those who get individual jobs where they have to use their English learn very quickly.

Rhubarb - I disagree with you. The ones I know are generous, speak very good English, are the ones volunteering at local sports club etc,

polish people do not. integrate. well though - won't learn English,

Absolute bollocks. I have taught many children of Polish parents. The families are very involved with their children's education and all have spoken good English.

Several countries want to leave, Poland isn't necessarily one of them. I don't think the EU will even exist in anything like the form or does now in 10 years.

"Both of these countries are moving away from democracy and towards dictatorship, so it is only right that measures should be taken

Similar to the UK, then?"

How absolutely ridiculous. You really need to look up what actually happens in undemocratic countries before you start comparing the UK to them.

No offence @rhubarbarkle but you don't seem to be in much of a position to criticise anyone's English skills.

People talk about the NHS being understaffed if we leave the EU but has anyone ever studied how many patients are from the EU?
When I went to my appointment in a big London hospital pre natal department I didn’t hear a word of English from any of the 25+ ladies that were chatting in the waiting room.
I have no problem with immigration and I have many polish mum friends from my child’s school. I just wonder if anyone is factoring in how fewer patients there will be?

It is my understanding that we will have an immigration system that will still allow skilled or shortage workers. So doctors, nurses should be unaffected.
