UK, Ireland / Why are Polish people, especially women, so disrespectful toward the English? [442]

the labour government decided to make work unprofitable in the mid nineties

Please don't exaggerate.

Politicians aren't stupid, and UE laws are not a coincidence, and politicians knew EXACTLY that there will be a mass immigration into UK.

Disagree. Politicians are sometimes 'stupid', and knew little or nothing about Poland. Furthermore, UK politicians on their own don't get to decide European law.

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]

How do you know the person who started the thread was English?

It's not nice to hear racism directed at your own nationality.

It isn't 'politically correct'. But I got the idea that many Poles were against 'political correctness'. (When the politically incorrect remarks aren't directed against Poles).

Probably you have just focussed on the Polonophobic threads. There are also plenty of anti-semitic threads here by people claiming to be Poles. But, for some reason, they appear to have escaped your attention.

If there is a trait of character or a vice for Poles to reproach themselves with it's the mindless imitation of the way of thinking of others:

If Poles are copying others, then they can hardly be quick off the mark.

There's a seven hundred year gap between the events you described, and, for example, the Kielce pogrom in 1946, which featured accusations of 'blood libel'.

Witch trials were all the rage in 17th century England, so maybe they'll catch on in Poland in another four hundred years or so.
