The police can't be everywhere at all times.

The thing is, as Osiol may have alluded to, its the Police that are registering these as race attacks.
From the last link I posted
the force's detection rate for racist crimes was currently more than 90 per cent.
Go figure.

The quote from the Opening post is dated June 2007.

very typical for this region of europe.

The quote is from the paper "The Scotman", I take it the region of Europe you are referring to is Scotland ?
Mr Chojnowski, who has been based in Edinburgh for eight years, said he had never been subjected to racism. He added: "Unfortunately, there are people who will give abuse to bar staff regardless of whether they are from eastern Europe or if they are local."

Travel / Now Gdansk is tipped as a hot spot for 2009 [24]

I still have a bee in my bonnet about the national Polish Tourist Office doing virtually diddly squat for Polish tourism.

True, its a massive market waiting to get exploited.

The earth is currently in an interglacial, and the last glacial period ended about 10,000 years ago.

If anyone is interested in this kind of thing here is an interesting link -
The Parallel Roads of Glenroy, formed when the glen got blocked by a glacier and the sides of the hills became a shoreline.
