New BBC series following the lives of immigrants is looking for people

now in tv is a program of immigrant in the bbc

One could wonder then, If Grzegorz deserve a good treatement from us.

its the same rational your applying to that? I dont think so. I think my answer stands.

And the point is that If you read the articel, you will find out that "someone said that someone said that some of them are belived to be Polish construction workers"... (which btw is rather idiotic as anyone doing even the worst job in construction definately don't have to live in a closet) and of course the headline is screeming "Poles live in the closet". Why not "British live in the closet" ?


And "one" has a full right to wonder whatever he wants.

because the story wasn't about british living in the toilet. it was about polish...
I read the article


then so does the British and Polish people. but i would never incinuate in any terms changing behaviour to a race en mass due to an article you pre-selected and ignoring all other articles thinking they are being polonophobic

And what did you find out ? That someone said that someone said something ? According to this logic we may write articels that British eat s*it.

Because Polish media is so perfect? give me a break - all media do things that 100% of people will not agree with it!


is still not a reaction i agree, wondering or not - i wouldnt entertain such a ridiculous reaction over ONE article

You don't have to.


It's not only one article.

Just remember guys...media types are only one strata above criminal types........will do ANYTHING for a story...the more damaging, dirty, salacious, heartbreaking...the better.....

Just don't become a victim...nor indeed believe 1/10th of what you read/see/even witness ( Police reckon only 1 in 10 people who "witness" something can actually relay the actual event....!!!!!!!)...........are we ALL agreed?

your right there - its one article of millions, singling out polish people and polish only - infact youve uncovered the sole reasonthe bbc exists is polonophobia.... :eyesrolling:

i agree frank

Daf, don't **** me off... I have never seen anything like this from your Ireland for example and compared to the whole population there's many more Poles than in UK.

indeed G but the BBC is not a polonophobic institution. Im trying to highlight that point. it writes thousands of articles on MANY issues. and does not merit wondering about changing Poles views of the British public. so don't **** me off either i could say :)

Did I say It is ?


Yes, you can.

I believe it is inferred. If you believe otherwise, we can leave it at that rather than a circular arguement

the BEEB is what the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) is often referred to or the company that makes the TV licence fee go up each year as it refuses to show Adverts/Commericals on its channels.


not a bad track actually by Faithless like some of their material (Rollo the voice dude of Faithless is in fact singer Dido's brother)

Nothing in the media is ever clear cut or perfect to be honest ... Media is something that society relies upon in more ways than some ... and the Media is also the biggest cause of "moral panic" in society as well as it goes OTT on subjects and often over exaggerates stories.

Hello Bart.. Are you still doing your research into this documentary, or do you think that you have enough info already ??

Hi I am an English guy who can speak Polish if that is any use as a translater

Merged: Question about Latvian immigrants in the UK

What do you (Poles) think about Latvian and (Russian) Latvian immigrants in the UK ?? = ) and the same question about Lithuanians immigrants , so answer please ; )

p.s. i'm just wandering o_0

Where to?

I had the (un)pleasure of sharing a flat with Lithuanian (in fact Russian) couple. Pretty repulsive folks - they didn't talk to us at all (a Southern African and a Pole), never returned greetings, and were quite chauvinistic. But they moved out and a Estonian (in fact Russians, too) couple moved in, and they were very friendly. So it's up to your luck whom do you meet.
