unlike other, "wise" sayings... this is not exactly a saying, but an observed fact...
the English can calm down... the EU migrants are returning home, don't worry... you can have your Commonwealth post-colonial multicultural society once more... no more zeppelins will plague the skies, don't worry... the Polaks are returning home... you can have your Turkish kebab and Lebanese falafel houses back... chill...
(by god, i sometimes wish it was sooner, spare the people the native's grievances about thinking of the fatherland, like they had it forever, uninterrupted)...
see... one of the major traits of an immigrant population of Polaks? the one i learned? divided we stand, united we fall... oh yeah... massive theme of what happens when Polaks emigrate... don't trust other Polaks overseas... if you want to succeed... wholly integrate, cut yourself from contact from other Polaks...
outside of the homeland? we're not really... homely... sure... some will congregate... some... but the majority of us are like... well... not even like Jews... secular Yids... sure... i still speak the mother tongue... why would i give it up to begin with? see that's the problem with home-grown terrorism ...
i sometimes feel sorry for these poor wankers... British born, British bred... i know the stereotype... parents from Pakistan, or Iran, or Egypt, wherever... British born, British bred... not sure about the breeding part... but sure, sure, British born...
i blame their parents... honest to god, they become radicalized and speak the odd Arabic word with an east London accent... the ******* ummah and what not... but ask them to speak an entire sentence in Arabic? deathly silence...
Polaks don't exactly form communities overseas, unless you're talking about the World War II R.A.F. veterans, or soldiers from Anders' Army... but that's trans-generational...
we're a chameleon emigrant nation... well... now that the homeland is back... we can ******* to wherever we came from... lucky for me... i'm a dual-national, so i can ******* backwards and forwards.
