IT is hardly surprising that the Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki is encouraging Poles living in the UK to return to their native land, given Poland’s growing prosperity and labour shortage.
According to the Office for National Statistics, recent migration of EU citizens to the UK has fallen significantly, while net migration from outside the EU has increased by 44 per cent to approximately 250,000 in the same period.
As the economies of countries in Eastern Europe continue to grow and living standards improve, it is likely that migration from them will diminish further.
This is in marked contrast to what is happening elsewhere in Europe. France, for example has currently a very high level of unemployment among young people of around 25 per cent.
Having endured the long winter of Soviet domination, former countries of the Eastern Bloc, like Poland and Hungary, have regained confidence with a renewed sense of self determination.
There may well be more travails awaiting these countries in the near future, as both the EU and UN pursue a globalist agenda, their aim being to destroy the idea of the nation state.
We should all be gravely concerned.
