Observations

As Poland’s fourth most important export market, it would seem obvious that Mr Tusk should keep his lips sealed when tempted to talk about Brexit or the UK in general. Based on past performance, however, we doubt he will do this.

We should stress that the figures we have published are from the first eight months of THIS year, long after Brexit.

“Who loves ya, Baby?”

When it comes to the EU’s much-lauded ‘Freedom of Movement’, this was barely used by the British. Conversely many former East European countries used it like there was no tomorrow to come to the UK.

More than three times as many Poles used this to move to the UK as Brits going to all the EU27 countries combined, to say nothing of the 1.5 million Romanians and others. This will be the subject of a Facts4EU.Org report in the coming days.

If this 3-part series of reports (and the thousands of others we have published) have been of interest, we sincerely hope you will make a donation to keep us going. Without you we will no longer exist – it’s that simple.

We must get reports like this out there

Reports like the one above take far longer to research, write and produce than many people realise. If they were easy, readers would see other organisations also producing these daily. However, there’s little point in the Facts4EU.Org team working long hours, seven days-a-week, if we lack the resources to promote them effectively – to the public, to MPs, and to the media. This is where you come in, dear reader.

Facts4EU.Org needs you today

We are a 'not for profit' team (we make a loss) and any payment goes towards the actual work, not plush London offices, lunch or taxi expenses, or other luxuries of some organisations.

We badly need more of our thousands of readers to become members, to support this work. Could this be you, today? It's quick and easy, we give you a choice of two highly secure payment providers, and we do NOT ask you for further support if you pay once. We just hope you keep supporting us. Your membership stays anonymous unless you tell us otherwise.

Please don't assume that other people will keep us going - we don't receive enough to survive and we need your help today. Could you help us? We rely 100% on public contributions from readers like you.
