The Polish baby boom: Fears for NHS and schools as 1,000 Polish children are born EVERY month
Gee. Where have I seen this before? Collectively perhaps the elitists are nothing more than a horde of ravaging sociopaths. Because the legitimate concerns of these countries which entertain their plans usually wind up with the short end of the stick. The EU and what’s happening in Britain in particular make a good study of what may happen here with privacy, immigration, schools, the economy and society in general if so-called “free trade” wins the day.
Daily Mail Hospitals and schools are struggling to cope with a huge influx of Eastern European children, new figures show.
The number of Polish babies born in UK hospitals has almost quadrupled since the 2004 EU expansion.
On current trends, there will be more than 13,000 such births this year, costing the NHS more than £20million.
In addition, more than 240,000 Eastern European children have arrived in Britain’s schools - with head teachers warning that some are now close to breaking point.
Members of the National Association of Head Teachers will tell Parliament this week that the influx is starting to change the culture of some schools.
While they praise the ability of the new pupils, they are concerned they do not have enough money to cope.
“There is a feeling among some of our members that this is out of control and unpredictable,” said Mick Brookes, general secretary of the NAHT. “Some schools just don’t know how many migrant children they will have to admit.”

It sure is a good thing we all think people are people, regardless of who the parents are or where the kid is born, right?

So David
It looks like you’re not very concerned about the fate of these schools or British society either. Is there a reason for this?

Maybe the biggest problem with OUR society is too many people are “experts” in their own discipline and can’t see the big picture. In the case of “free trade” perhaps the “economists” have been given too much attention. And even on this blog we see what happens when the “experts” venture outside their “discipline”. Sometimes all they have to offer “outside their discipline” is insults and frustration. (From a lack of understanding)

b>Wee Willy,
When was the last time you were in Britain?
When was the last time you spoke to an actual British parent?
Do you have any idea what you’re talking about?
Three questions to answer, if you please.

I think it was 1990. And I spoke with parents and a few offspring too. But we didn’t actually touch on the public school system. Just drank beers and stuff.

I was in Britain a few months ago. Lived there for 14 years. What’s your point? You haven’t got the slightest idea what you’re talking about.
Good post Bill.

Thanks. Although Davey is a “Globalist” there are many instances where I don’t think he can see “the big picture” so to speak.

And P.S. I went to Bath and “drank the water” (google it) and went to inverness too among many other great places.
