Sad life of a Polish migrant in the UK. Ch. 5 - Racism [259]
People who have spent close to a decade claiming tax credits and child benefits running home to Poland whining about every aspect of life in the UK.
you must be talking about Gipsies - can't think of other Polish citizens that were allowed to do that (for a decade) - wasn't it 2004 that Poles were allowed to work in the UK
I also understood why girls in English school gang up and beat up Polish girls - it's not racism, or xenophobia, it's just that our faces and clothes are just a little different, and they feel threatened.
I find it very true, there is some deeply ingrained insecurity/fear in English psyche - look at the peadophile paranoia there - while most don't seem to notice what is really a threat: how vile, cruel, barbaric their younger generations are getting.

well I was in England a couple of times - stayed there a year in 2003-2004, been there again some four months between 2004-2005 and again about two months in 2006 - been there to earn some money - with more or less succes - it maybe true what you write - I don't have too high an opinion about the Poles as a nation - I don't find pleasure in having to deal with low lifes - the only thing is I haven't met actual Polish low-lifes in England - must be because before 2004 they were not streaming into Britain and in 2006 i wasn't just running around to find and socialize with Poles - those that I met were ok - and yes some Polish people I met were racist in the sense they held blacks and some other in comtempt - to be honest I myself made fun with them about the blacks and say Indians - maybe you find it horribly wrong but I find it innocent as long as there is just the humour thing - and well I used to work with black people and with indian people and with Pakistani people and we mostly got on well (I may be wrong but most Polish people I know use good-hearted humour and not vile/offensive which seems to me to be a feature of many Enlgish jokes I heard)
Niejestemcapita has made the effort to learn Polish, I believe; she's not just assuming mutual intelligibility, ty hloupá dívka :p
are you sure she did - maybe just learned it from her friends - when learning is part of fun I wouldn't call it an effort
