As I said before...
I want my PhD project to reflect what the Polish community has to say!
Concentrating only on families who arrived within the last six years doesn't exactly
equal "
the Polish community", it represents
a proportion of it, and not the majority of it, therefore I was right to point out that her research would not be truly representative.
A Google search also shows that there is a journalist by the same name working for BBC Leeds. Coincidence? Maybe. But it wouldn't be the first time a journalist has tried to get a message board to do his/her work for them, either. In which case, "lazy journalism" is indeed a possibility.
