Poland regretting joining EU?

I think Poland is beginning to see the folly of joining the Socialist League European Union. Originally they wanted to be part of the EU in order to gain a mass, voluntary deportation of their lazy unemployed. Most of these are going to the UK, another country that should not have hitched itself to the EU yoke. This strategy mirrors Mexico's relations with the U.S. As a relatively impoverished nation, Poland also hopes to steer EU-level money into its coffers.

Reality is beginning to rear its ugly head for Poland, as this BBC story explains:

    The European Commission is seeking a court order to prevent Poland re-starting work on a road through a protected wildlife area.

    The road - which carries traffic from Warsaw to Helsinki - goes through the Rospuda Valley - a peat-bog area that is home to rare plants and animals.

    Warsaw halted work for the bird-nesting season but plans to resume on 1 August.

    It says environmental damage would be minimal, because the plan is for a viaduct not a road at ground level.

We must halt the progression of human civilization rather than ask a frog or two to relocate, the environmentalist whackos say. We mustn't distrub the butterflies.
