I got chatting to a lovely lady on Thursday and she was telling me about a 'Polish Day' event being run by Stafford and Rural Homes...I offered to post the info on 'ere, so 'ere it is!

Thanks for that info .... erm Nick?........kyoto49 said:I saw they had lots of house adverts in Polish in there window on Greyfriars (well I assume they are adverts for houses I don't speak Polish) . I'm not sure how I feel about that. At the risk of sounding like a member of the BNP (which I'm not!) Is it right that immigrants can just come in and take a property from social housing when the waiting list for the indigenous population is very long? I know of two families who are in social housing and are severely overcrowded, but have no chance of a bigger house, yet I also have a slovakian friend who with her one daughter managed to secure a 2 bedroomed maisonette for a ridiculously cheap rent.
Doesn't sound right to me.
I think you will find the Polish community in Stafford has been here since the war. They have certainly supported the town. I beleieve the club is a result of their fund raising activities.kyoto49 said:I saw they had lots of house adverts in Polish in there window on Greyfriars (well I assume they are adverts for houses I don't speak Polish) .

Hear hear!Gramaisc said:I look forward to seeing this event advertised, in Polish, in the Newsletter.

I have failed to find an advert in the Newsletter - even in English..Gramaisc said:I look forward to seeing this event advertised, in Polish, in the Newsletter.
You are absolutely right it is not right that recent immigrants to this country are given precedence over people who have been here longer!kyoto49 said:I saw they had lots of house adverts in Polish in there window on Greyfriars (well I assume they are adverts for houses I don't speak Polish) .

On what basis do you make this assertion?Hetairoi said:...immigrants are being sent to Stafford just because we do not have our 'quota'!
