That abbreviation is a smiley John - a wink ;-) .. and yes it was tongue in cheek.
Not racist at all - totally true. The Poles and many others have entered our country and have taken jobs that could have gone to UK workers. Some of them are far more qualified and some not so. Some of our own people lost jobs to them and others didn't even bother applying. The Polish tended to be the first ones to come in under Labour's 'flood the market with cheap labour' policy under Tony Blair though. That's why I mentioned them.
The last three people that have got jobs where I work have been Hungarian and Spanish. All lovely people and all working in two or more other jobs at the same time that could have been filled with Brits. However they were not for whatever reason. I have no problem with that at all! Does that make my stand on racism clear?
So please take a chill pill guys!
