Good thread OsioĊ, 92% say they haven't claimed from the state. Loads of Brits claim from the state so 'noimmigration' is well wide of the mark if these figures are to be believed.

The difference between the present simple and the present progressive/continuous also causes problems, e.g I'm coming from the west of Poland, rather than I come from the west of Poland.
Native speakers are complicating things by saying stuff like, 'I'm lovin it', although it has some logic

I know that, good officers are good officers, irrespective of colour. I dunno how many black policemen there are, maybe they are like black sheep

U just have to keep throwing them up and encouraging discussion. Poland is a golden bet for American firms. In Scotland, we are lucky to have a combination of natural resource-based industries and we attract a lot of investment. I hope Poland can do likewise.

I think these are tangible signs of classic ruggedness amongst the Poles to not be accepted as a 'backward' country. There is vast potential here and investors are realising this. The big problem lies in the perception of Poles. The skills are undoubtedly here in abundance but the recognition of this is the key. The tide is turning :)

I'm not entirely sceptical either. I think that they are very disciplined and are often on patrol. There are also different levels of police which I like. The straz mieska streel patrols are a very good idea.
It's just a hunch Matyjasz but I'd hazard a guess that the police may turn a blind eye unless he was getting badly beaten.
