Summary Not many Brits move to Poland to work in a fish and chip shop. Fewer still come back wanting to be a Member of the European Parliament. In 2016 Ben Aitken moved to Poland while he still could. It wasnt love that took him but curiosity: he wanted to know what the Poles in the UK had left behind. He flew to a place hed never heard of and then accepted a job in a chip shop on the minimum wage. When he wasnt peeling potatoes he was on the road scratching the countrys surface: he milked cows with a Eurosceptic farmer; missed the bus to Auschwitz; spent Christmas with complete strangers and went to Gdask to learn how communism got the chop. By the years end he had a better sense of what the Poles had turned their backs on - southern mountains, northern beaches, dumplings! - and an uncanny ability to bone cod. This is a candid, funny and offbeat tale of a year as an unlikely immigrant.
