moaning about London's diverse culture either live there, live elsewhere in the UK,

Neither do you... You live in a country that refuses to take in one Muslim and they are very proud of it!

If youre so diverse why stay in a racist white county like Poland? Go back home to old blimey and be woken up in the morning by a muslim prayer loudspeaker.

Polish official who, responding to an attempt at politically correct shaming, unabashedly told a British television host, "We will not receive even one Muslim".



Poland is safe because they didnt allow themselves to become multicultural. Im sure thats why you chose to live there.

No I don't. Poland doesn't 'refuse' anyone on the grounds of religion and there are several Mosques in Warsaw and more round the country.

Go back home to old blimey and be woken up in the morning by a muslim prayer loudspeaker.

I'm in the UK now and there are no Azans, no loudspeakers. That would need planning permission to do regularly and is highly unlikely to be allowed. Plenty of church bells though, including a very loud peal about 50 yards away. That is only allowed because it's been happening for several centuries; new peals of bells wouldn't be allowed now.

Perhaps you could try to understand the issues you post about, other than scouring the internet for dodgy and inaccurate YouTube videos.

BTW, the person speaking on your video is not an 'official'.

I didnt say York, but Londionstan has been sacked. You better hurry if you want to save whats left of your country.

Same with the US invasion.. Our only hope is Teflon Don who is ahead by 10 points over the treasonous Biden.

Trump will deport them all Eisenhower style!

Trump says he will carry out the 'largest domestic deportation operation in American history' if elected
Trump's comments come as more than 4,000 migrants crossed the US Southern Border Wednesday

Who mentioned York?

London is a fine city. Try multicultural albeit less so than Los Angeles or New York.

The thread is BTW about Poles in London. Not your personal hysteria about religion.,

He was, retired now...

No, he wa never an 'official'.

Trump will deport them all

From a prison cell?

migrants crossed the US Southern Border Wednesday

I wake up with that nightmarish vision of 10,000 scumbags crossing the border every single day with no reaction from this motherfu*cker in the WH or our senators. Nothing. Dead silence...

I enjoyed how the guy in the video didn't give a fu*ck about the leftist interviewer calling him racist. I am so proud of Poland. "Not even one Muslim..."

Dominik Tarczyński (born March 27, 1979, in Lublin) is a Polish politician and journalist who was previously a member of the Sejm and has been a member of the European Parliament since 2020.[1]

Its already after 4:00am over there, you must becoming delusional after spending another entire day on PF....

Exactly. Not an official at all and nothing to do with London either.

Its already after 4:00am over there

It isn't actually.

Remember, some of us work very 'unsocial' hours. And you missed the apostrophe in "it's".

Post-2004 Poles in London is an interesting phenomena; there was a TV soap about them. Did you watch it?

to do with London either.

No kidding! Hes trying to protect Poland by keeping the muzzies out and providing you a safe place to live in the process.

And you missed the apostrophe.

Typical grammar troll remark when one is exhausted from ideas...

You cant win....dobranoc:)

No kidding!

We are discussing post-2004 Poles in London. We aren't talking about either Polish immigration policy (which you got spectacularly wrong since it doesn't (and legally can't) discriminate on the grounds of religion or about Trumpet fantasies..

You cant win

I just did.

And you missed another apostrophe.

As the only Londoner on this forum, I think I know London better than all off you.

There are now more Muzzies than Christians it should really be renamed Londionstan.

Sorry mate, you may be my friend but I still have to call you out when you are wrong and you are wrong.The "Muslim takeover of London" has been very much overstated and exaggerated,especially by Americans.

Interesting that none of those who are moaning about London's diverse culture either live there

Very good point.I live here and I know the reality.

Londionstan

An overused Americanism.London is multicultural but not dominated by Muslims.It depends on what part of London you go to,some areas are Jewish, some Greek,some Turkish, some Polish you get all sorts in this huge city!

I'll be never be able to think of Richmond as anywhere but Surrey.

Strange,as a lifelong Londoner I have always regarded Richmond as even more London than Harrow or Wembley,given it's proximity to central London and the constant aircraft noise from planes landing at Heathrow!!

I spent a couple of weeks in July doing some stuff by Wembley Park. It felt like Dubai with all the 20 story buildings and crowds everywhere.

My warehouse was(Still is, though I know longer own it) on the Wembley Industrial Estate close to Wembley Stadium and Arena.This area has changed beyond all recognition! It was always a very mixed race area with many Black and Asian people but when I was young the white population were dominant,mainly British, Irish and Jewish.When Idi Amin kicked the Indians out of Uganda that all changed.Most of the refugees came to Wembley and Harrow.The result was that Wembley became largely Hindu Indian and then the war in Sri Lanka brought many Tamils to Wembley too.The Indians and Tamils are mainly Hindus though many Tamils are Catholic.We don't get any problems from either of these groups.If you look across the disgusting Wembley High Road you will see many dark skinned faces, both Asian and Afro Caribbean, but most of these people were British born and bred.Wembley also has a very large Polish and East European population, besides the Poles, there are many Romanians,Bulgarians and Slowaks.Which means we have some amazing food shops here!

As for the building work, it is unbelievable!They have turned this area into a mini New York but done nothing to improve roads for the inevitable increase in traffic!

The only big downside to the area are the Somalians........mainly lazy,not working or doing minimal work......and there are quite a lot of them.....

Ealing Road is "Little India" with loads of Indian shops selling clothes,jewelry and food plus restaurants.There is a small mosque at the top of Ealing Road and a large Hindu Temple at the bottom of it.

I think Wembley is a blast! But I couldn't live there..............Luckily I live in a suburb that is much quieter than Richmond or Hampstead but still with a tube station and red double decker buses,that is to say, still in London!

Somalis don't seem to improve any place where there are a lot of them....

Similar to Afghans in that respect, or within Europe Gypsies and Albanians...

In a vacuum cultures are equal, in the real world there can be horrible mismatches where an established culture becomes very dysfunctional and pathological when in contact with others.....

I heard a few people speaking Polish, mostly older people. Perhaps people who came in 2004 when they were well in their forties.

the disgusting Wembley High Road

Strangely old fashioned. A sort of 70s feel. A bit like the north only there wren't any empty shops and there was plenty of life there. A haircut in the same sort of Kurdish along that you get up here except it was quite a bit cheaper.

I noticed that. Suburban streets with mock Tudor semis but inner city traffic levels.

There are younger ones here too that followed and kids that were born here.If I see three generations of a white family walkng down the street I would always bet they were Polish and win 3 out of 4 bets.......... ;-)

The new barmaid in my local asked me if I'm Polish a bit back. She had a broad Yorkshire accent with only a tiny suggestion she'd lived elsewhere. About 20 and came to the UK as a kid.

The "Muslim takeover of London" has been very much overstated

35% white Brits is accurate. Used to be 95% not long ago...
Your luck is the deep water. We are not so lucky. Just a creek...

some Greek,some Turkish, some Polish

It should be all-white British.

some Polish

Are Ealing and Acton still. big centres of Polish life in London? I know there are a lot of post-2004 arrivals around Seven Sisters tube.

35% white Brits is accurate

It isn't. It is 86%, and most of those who are mixed race, black, Chinese, whatever, are concentrated in a few cities.

In your country it is 75%.

as a lifelong Londoner

Yes, but you're a suburbanite. You're not from central London. I've known many Londoners who consider anyone from places like Harrow to be pretty much country cousins :)

Are Ealing and Acton still. big centres of Polishlife in London?

When the Polish government in exile came to London they based themselves in Kensington and Hammersmith,which still has some top class Polish restaurants and the Polish cultural centre called POSK.My dad bought a large house in Kensington in 1968 which had been converted into nine bedsits.Most of the tenants were Polish war veterans and were overjoyed to get a Polish landlord.

When most of the Polish war veterans reached London after the war,Kensington and Hammersmith were getting a bit expensive,so they opted for Shepherds Bush and Acton.Those that could afford it moved to more leafy Ealing.My extended family was drawn to Willesden,largely because it had an Irish Catholic church that ran Polish masses on Sundays.My dad bought our first family house in nearby Cricklewood in the mid fifties(He had only been in England since 1947!)

By 1964 he had decided that the area was going downhill and we moved to Harrow Weald.Closely followed by many of my parents family and friends.

When Poland joined the EU in 2004, Acton and Ealing had become too expensive and the Poles centred on nearby Greenford.They soon spilt over into nearby Sudbury and Northolt and also a bit to Wembley and Harrow.

As an aside, nearby Kingsbury was very Jewish when I was a kid but as the Jews got wealthier and moved out, the Indians moved in and as the Indians got wealthier and moved out, the Poles moved in!

es, but you're a suburbanite.

Guilty as charged!

I've known many Londoners who consider anyone from places like Harrow to be pretty much country cousins :)

I am sure that is still the view of many Londoners.If it doesn't have a London postcode it's not really London!
But that is to ignore the fact that London has vastly grown in the last 50 years.
I live in the borough of Harrow which in 1965 ceased to become part of the Middlesex administration, we have London tube stations and London red double decker buses.Plus we are now in the "London Borough of Harrow".

I may live in the leafy suburbs, but this is now part of London.
