A senior British diplomat has admitted that Polish immigration to Britain has spun out of control.
Paul Fox, who is consul general at the British Embassy in Warsaw, said that the influx of Poles in the last three years was "one of the largest immigrations Britain has ever seen, in such a short time".
He said that it was a "miracle" it had not sparked ethnic clashes.
More than two million Poles have left Poland since it joined the European Union in 2004, with up to one million heading to Britain and Ireland.
