There are still a million Poles in the UK who have come here since Poland entered the EU on 1.5.2004 (the official figures underestimate the real number in our country).

I understand that another influx of Poles from the Irish Republic into the UK may be on the way as a result of less work being available in the Irish building industry.

So those Poles allegedly quitting the UK to move east (i.e. back to Poland or to other continental european nations) could well be replaced by new ones arriving in the UK from the west.
