Exactly, Occam's Razor - a useful concept, if occasionally (as in your case) misunderstood.
Indeed, though that is wishful thinking on so many levels ;-)
My friend (you've heard of him, as have most Poles; I don't always agree with him, though he is sensible) suggested it may be Russian provocateurs. Though I doubt that. And for sure it isn't a Brit: nothing points to that.
A bigger worry is not cultural centres but ordinary families targeted by nationalistic thugs. At least we can be sure that the UK police will come down on that like a ton of bricks
In what way is that a community centre? Btw, it closed a while ago.

Indeed. Very far from case closed, especially as nothing at all suggests it was written by an English person; all evidence suggests it was not.
The straw-clutching about 'graffiti tags', 'Sir Oswald Mosley' etc are unworthy, as are those who tried to suggest it.

So what's 'OMP,' then?
Sad you're trying to shift the blame to a British write.

Indeed. A vile character.
A (Polish) friend on another site just agreed the graffiti wasn't written by any Brit, and suggested it may be by a Russian. An interesting idea however the internal political graffiti theory still rings true.
The two universally known English words are neither here nor there, however the handwriting isn't British, and none of those who tried to shift the blame onto unknown Brits can explain 'OMP'.
hat a joke he was. he should of gone the way of el duce

Spot on. Just excuses.
So bizarre to see a juvenile who has never been to Europe trying to take a thread about Polish graffiti in London off-topic by going on about long dead pre-war politicians.
Mods - perhaps rename the thread? Since the text of the graffiti does not in any way suggest that it is anti-Polish...
Rather sad really, however I as say, CCTV should clear it up.
No Beiganski we do not 'revere' Mosley any more than you revere pogrom leaders..:D

Also spot on. Same with the Oswald Mosely pics - no connection to the issue, no possible connection.
It really does look like it's about internal Polish political matters and nothing to do with the Brexit referendum or Polish migration within the EU.
Stop being goady and admit there is no such thing as 'the Oswald Mosley Party'...and if there was it has nothing to do with the graffiti at POSK
Spot on.
What the hell has this got to do with the seriouse topic we are discussing here

It's the initials of a centre-right political think tank in Poland about which some politically active Poles have strong views. Also the initials of another Polish organisation.
Given that the handwriting is Polish, it looks like it was all about that and not some 'go home Poles' thing written by our own extremists. Otherwise, what could the graffiti mean?

Overweight politicians with a tendency towards authoritarianism.
Seriously, it's far to early to predict what will happen, whether we will even leave the Union or if. We end up doing that, how things will work. Unrestricted movement of people won't change and may even increase.
What would Poland trade N. Korea pirogi for besides body parts and defective missiles ?

Hopefully CCTV footage will establish who did the graffiti. It is already a police matter.

It's possible. That or graffiti about Polish internal politics. If you look at the handwriting (and above all what it says), it's obvious really.
But the media picked up on it today due to the vote

The handwriting looks more Polish than British. Far more.
And the 'OMP' mentioned in the graffiti is a Polish think tank, the Centre for Political Thought. Looks like Pole on Pole vandalism, and as I say, hopefully the perpetrators will be caught.

Yes, I have read reports of this. I think that many people who voted for leave did so with their hearts and not their heads.
