commonplace in London in the 1950s

So no, not often.

Hard to know why you're so interested, or wg6 you think it's relevant to here.

Irish, Brits

Such an overlap on both sides.

Stop trying to provoke disagreement. Anyway, nationality issues come better from experts.

Darling, I have always been interested in history. That`s why. I thought you know me better than that. "_{"_"_

provoke

How talking about history can provoke disagreement?? if you feel provoked by facts, it is your problem, darling. :*:*:(*:(*:(:*

Sorry, i am happily married, so no, thanks. hahahaha

The signs were all handwritten," he says, recalling his search for accommodation on arrival.

Not only landlords/ladies had a problem with the Irish but the British police, too

Recalling wider examples of anti-Irish discrimination, Hurley described how Irish people were targeted by the British police and unfairly prosecuted for minor offences.

It's a complex relationship between the English and the Irish - not one for a Pole to try and get his head round.

As the Kerry-born writer John B. Keane observed of his time in Northampton in the 1950s: 'The attitude of the average Englishman towards the Irish is a friendly one. He resents the Welshman and tolerates the Scot but he is prepared to enjoy the Irishman and will always meet him halfway.'

And yet I am dealing with the issue coz I love such stories from the past. Ha!!!

Englishman towards the Irish is a friendly one

Of course! :):):) Who denies it??? Owners are very friendly with their dogs, too. :):):)

the British police and unfairly prosecuted for minor offences.

Irish men were prosecuted for indecent exposure if they were caught urinating outdoors on their way home from the pub on a Saturday night. The police chose to charge the men under the criminal code which came with a mandatory prison sentence.

What an absolute legend this man was! Thanks for reminding me, Atch. ❤️

That's why we don't let the police prosecute any more.

You see??? If I didn`t mention British discrimination of the Irish, I would never learn this fact from you. Thanks. It reminds me of the communist times when the police called militia was also endowed with the right of prosecution in minor cases. Amasing that Brits were so close to communist methods.

or wg6 you think it's relevant to here.

It is extremely relevant. I have ventured on seeking certain correlations between the British treatment of the Irish in distant past like 50 years ago and their today`s treatment of the Polish.

Do you mean what I know now???

I hope you do. So stop asking infantile questions. :):):)

British treatment of the Irish/of the Polish.

I am searching the net for info on rental signs like NO IRISH NO DOGS addressed at Polish migrants but can`t find any. Do you know of such cases???

If you don`t, does it mean the British have become less discriminatory over the years or Polish migrants were more amiable than the Irish??? Or is it simply that infamous political correctness which spread over the UK and Brits are still racists at heart???

So no, not often.

Yes, commonplace is often. You don`t know your English, it seems. :):):):)

Why?

First, it's illegal. It violates the European Convention on Human Rights, and probably many UK laws.

Times have changed.

In the time period when you could see "No Irish" signs, it was not illegal.

I think even in Myanmar, today, you can't put up a sign saying "No Poles".

So, you won't find what you are searching for. Also, again, why are you searching for this? Is this forum not enough, where you can find probably 1,000 pages of Brits complaining about Poles in their country?

Who needs signs when there is a whole ocean of hatred on the internet?

Brits complaining about Poles

It is understandable coz some Polish degenerated scum have invaded Britain since 2004. I once jokingly noticed I appreciate the UK for receiving them all coz Poland has become a better country in result. hahaha

If you hope your antiBritish propaganda works on me, then no, it doesn`t. Abandon the hope that I will appreciate imperial Russia more in result of your slurs. :):):)

If anything I defended Britain here, saying you will find no overt evidence of anti-Polish discrimination by businesses.

Since when???

Google and ChatGPT are your friends!

However, because I love and respect you so very much, here it is:

1.Equality Act 2010: This law prohibits discrimination on the basis of several "protected characteristics," including race and nationality. The part of the sign targeting "Poles" would amount to racial and national origin discrimination, which is illegal in providing services, including in public spaces. Discrimination against people based on their nationality or ethnicity is considered unlawful in the UK.

2.The Race Relations Act 1976 (now largely absorbed into the Equality Act): It previously governed racial discrimination and would have similarly made this practice illegal.

3.European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) (incorporated into UK law by the Human Rights Act 1998): The anti-Polish sign would violate principles of the ECHR, particularly Article 14, which prohibits discrimination on grounds such as race, ethnicity, or nationality.


So... at least since 1976 you can't have a sign that says "NO POLES".

Please direct us to all the 1,000 pages on this forum where Brits are complaining about Poles

Are you purposefully being thick? That's like 25% of this forum.

Not a joke but a planned black propaganda campaign by the Kremlin trolls to sow ferment between Poles/Polesses and their allies: Westerners, Baltics or Ukrainians.

The world does not revolve around Poland, you baboon.

Can you explain why you are looking for these signs, again? Is that not "sowing ferment"?

You mentioned sth, you prove it. Simple. I don`t need to move a finger. :):):)

Good. That`s what you were supposed to provide. Don`t burden others with your own tasks.

The world does not revolve around Poland

Actually, it does sometimes. WW2 started in Poland when Germany and Soviet Russia invaded us.

What's wrong with you today, guys? The Universe was created so that Poland could come into being. Don't call yourselves Poles if you doubt it.

Jesus was Polish.

That's better. :) *thumbs up*

European Convention on Human Rights

Speaking of the ECHR, guess what country is in the top 3? That is, top 3 in terms of how many times their citizens complained to the European Court of Human Rights?

Ukraine!

Number 1 is Turkey (not sure what they are even doing in this organization), and number 2 is of course my beloved Russia.

Poland is number 7. The UK doesn't even appear on the list.

Considering that Poland has a population 4X smaller than Russia's, then on a per capita basis it seems Poles human rights are violated only slightly less often than those of Russians ;)

Considering that Poles are undisputed world champions in complaining, then it's shocking that we are not in the first position on that list.

to the European Court of Human Rights?

It is a court of pushing progressive agenda onto people. I bet 90% of those complaints are about some nonsense like LGBT BS or abortions.

Can't speak for the others, but the Russian cases definitely have a bunch of people arrested at Pride Parades. A lot of Chechens too.

@ pawian

And Brits, but you are correct.

A good response to Bobko's trolling.

The UK doesn't even appear on the list.

You stupid hypocrite!So where is all this Brit hatred of Poles coming from?
