Uncle Bob 2 | 82 16 Mar 2008 / #2HorribleI only hope he hadnt followed the advice of young apocolipto and shouted such things as "come on then you fakin chaaants ill ave the lot of you!!" before getting wet upSwift recovery wishes
djf 18 | 166 16 Mar 2008 / #4Comes as no surprise. Boston isnt a nice town. Its a place with a high number of immigrants from all over the World; Poland, Russia, Portugal, Iraqis, Kurds etc. Some pubs have signs up stating "No English" on the doors. Large scale fights between the various nationalities especially the Kurds and Iraqis occur on a regular basis.Lots of BNP support among the white working class. Most work is unskilled and low paid and with immigrants, often illegal, taking jobs there isnt much left for the poorly educated.
wildrover 98 | 4,438 16 Mar 2008 / #5In which country ? Not really hard to guessoh....i guessed wrong......i thought it must have been Poland....
OP Grzegorz_ 51 | 6,148 16 Mar 2008 / #6and low paid and with immigrants, often illegal, taking jobslol...
djf 18 | 166 16 Mar 2008 / #7Im afraid its not funny G. Maybe taking was the wrong word. Its a fact that the gangmasters employee the people willing to take the lowest wage and that is the immigrants particularly the illegal ones as they have no one to complain to and are just grateful for being here and having a wage.
OP Grzegorz_ 51 | 6,148 16 Mar 2008 / #8And what does It have to do with the topic ? Let me guess - It's all immigrants fault ? And I'm sure that the bustard ate the swan... lol...
Uncle Bob 2 | 82 16 Mar 2008 / #9The sad thing G is that you actually rejoice when something nasty happens to a Pole in the UK as it gives you the ammunition to have a go at us.And that really is sad.
OP Grzegorz_ 51 | 6,148 16 Mar 2008 / #10Rejoice ? I did that ! I stabbed the guy, so now I can have a go at poor Englanders !
djf 18 | 166 16 Mar 2008 / #11I stabbed the guyG you go out in Boston?? Brave man!!! :-PIf you read the story properly, the guy wasnt stabbed. He has minor cuts and has probably been released from the Pilgrim already.
Arise_St_George 9 | 419 16 Mar 2008 / #12Rejoice ? I did that ! I stabbed the guy, so now I can have a go at poor Englanders !You silly Polish boy. Have a lollipop.
Wroclaw Boy 16 Mar 2008 / #13Most of the expats i chat to in local bars have experienced extremely uncomfortabe situations with Poles in Poland, if you upgrade this statistic it would probably account for around 30% of the population of expats, all 10 thousand of us!G is highlighting the fact that a Pole was stabbed in the UK I wonder how many foreigners would be raped, mugged or stabbed in Poland should there be similar numbers in Poland to what there is in Britian.
djf 18 | 166 16 Mar 2008 / #14stabbed in the UKHE WASNT STABBED!!!!!!!!No excuse for an 'unprovoked' attack but lets not upgrade the crime to suit an arguement.
Uncle Bob 2 | 82 16 Mar 2008 / #15HE WASNT STABBED!!!!!!!!ok, so he sustained wounds believed to be from a knife
Seanus 15 | 19,672 16 Mar 2008 / #16There are those who are intolerant. I've had people telling me off for speaking English here but Poles have the decency not to attack. I applaud this!!I often hear about these anti-foreigner skinheads, especially from Katowice, but I have never run into any such people which makes me question just how prevalent it is.
OP Grzegorz_ 51 | 6,148 16 Mar 2008 / #17Most of the expats i chat to in local bars have experienced extremely uncomfortabe situations with Poles in PolandYou should be happy that you are still alive.
hu_man 6 | 131 16 Mar 2008 / #18did i miss something where in the article did it mention it was because he was an imigrant and do any of you no the motive??it could have been about anything how do you no the man attacked didnt start it..but please feel free to speculate.
szkotja2007 27 | 1,498 16 Mar 2008 / #19The title reads like it was the Polish man with the knife :-)
OP Grzegorz_ 51 | 6,148 16 Mar 2008 / #21how do you no the man attacked didnt start it..Yep. Damn busterd attacked 7 men, after eating the swan of course.
hu_man 6 | 131 16 Mar 2008 / #22are you sure it wasnt after sexualy abusing one of the atackers henry??
Wroclaw Boy 16 Mar 2008 / #23You should be happy that you are still alive.So should my Polish employees
_Sofi_ 16 Mar 2008 / #24Why? Is their job dangerous or something?![My emoticon of choice would be the one expressing bored annoyance, just so you know the tone]
tornado2007 11 | 2,270 16 Mar 2008 / #25Ok i have a few points to make on this,Firstly, whoever was responsible for the attack, should be seriously punished, long term jail, whipped, flogged or whatever, regardless of nationalities involved things like this should not be allowed to happen!!!Secondly, It's idiots like these who go round stabbing immigrants which gives the rest of Britain a bad name. While i can't say i'm happy with our immigration policies at the moment i'm not one (like most of the British population) to take up arms and radomly attack immigrants whether they be Polish, Czech, Indian, Iraqi or an other nationality. What a stupid and rediculous way to try and make a point. Its racist, biggoted idiots like these who get all the lime light for doing such a stupid thing, when all of those who just want immigration to be sorted out get left in the wings.I lay the blame at the hnads of two areas, firstly, the dirty scumbags who exicute such attacks, what sort of human beings are they, that is if they are at all!!!! Seconldy the Press, who love to pick up on this sort of story because they know that it will cause tension on other medians such as Polish forums :). therefore, having the effect where the polish react and then the scumbags react and so on and so on. So instead of sorting out the problem of immigration we have to deal with idiots running round with knives stabbing people and the Poles who think there the only people to get attacked in the UK.It sorts nothing, SORT IT OUT BRITAIN!!!!
Mali - | 300 16 Mar 2008 / #27Its horrible that a person has been stabbed to death, period.Excellent post. Its the individuals, not 'Britain' that attacked this person. Its very dramatic here sometimes.
isthatu 3 | 1,164 16 Mar 2008 / #29lmao,its like chinky whispers,this man I now hear was stabbed,then hung,then dragged along under a tractor before being burnt alive in a large wicker, er, man. While the locals all danced round naked brandishing flaming torches and sing olde worlde wa'ssalling songs till midnight.Get a friggin grip u whinging pathetic little man G' (and all those with their noses so far up his arse he's chocking,you know who you are.) Like no Pole ever gets into a fight,or gets drunk and makes a t it of themselves......not fallen in a river and drowned yet G? Shame,u really are a waste of oxygen u pathetic little rascist homaphobe nimby t oss pot.
Mali - | 300 16 Mar 2008 / #30He's not dead.LOL Oh! (Sunday's my bimbo day) I didn't read the link, just assumed that after an attack by 7 people, he'd be dead. Either way, it still sucks that it happened to a person, regardless of the fact that he happens to be Polish.
