Well, about 9 of 10 people, who lived in both countries say that Poland is safer but I guess you know better, pink creature :)
Ah, could you please make it clear If you agree that Poles are more prone to thievery than English ? Y/N and why. I hope to hear soon from you !
It's a socio economic problem is it not. So if you live in a deprived area, thievery is likely to be more prevalent. As the majority of Poles living in the UK live in an area that will provide low paid factory work that they can do without having a good handle on English, it follows that this area is most likely to host a majority of low income families, benefit dependents and poorly educated people with low moral standards. By default I guess A Pole would feel unsafe in these areas. This area would most likely feel unsafe to an English native who came from the middle classes. I'm guessing these areas exist in Poland to. Parts of Poznan certainly don't engender a feeling of security, thats for sure. Some of the larger villages I have visited are very intimidating with groups of alcoholics hanging around the shops.
Sometimes I'm sure I look through "rose tinted spectacles" when I think of my home country, I'm sure you do too. I've seen too much in Poland and too much poor behavior from Polish people in the UK, to think we are that much different.
In answer to your question, if we are talking about shop lifting, burglary then I would say no. In my experience, the Poles here are very adept at playing the system,a kind of white collar thievery but thats not what this thread is about.
I feel both you and TommyG feel I am anti polish. I am not. I am anti your legal system because I have first hand experience, and understand as any reasonably educated person should, it has no place in a modern world.
