Poland 'shocked' by xenophobic abuse of Poles in UK

Poland's ambassador in London has expressed shock and concern about what he said were incidents of xenophobic abuse directed against the Polish community following the UK's decision to leave the European Union.

Dozens of alleged racist incidents were reported to the police in parts of England over the weekend, including cases where Poles and other eastern Europeans were the victims of racial abuse.

In Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, local media said police were investigating reports that signs reading "No more Polish vermin" had been distributed in the area, including outside schools, hours after the referendum's result - a 52 to 48 split in favour of Britain's exit - was announced on Friday.

The Poles have an older civilization than the Brits. What jerks these guys are. If they want to kick someone out, how about the Muslim terrorists and rapists, eh, what?

I really don’t understand this if it is true & not just another shot fired at Brexit.

Poles are white European Christians who dislike Muslims. Doesn’t that make them natural allies of the British?

Aren’t there enough muzzies in UK for Brits to make a direct comparison between those and the Poles, and decide they like Poles better if not much better than muzzies?

I don’t get it.

Uh, I suspect that Poles are not a different “race” from Brits.

I would bet this is a personal situation, possibly a neighborhood bully taking advantage of the publicity......

We are shocked and deeply concerned by the recent incidents of xenophobic abuse directed against the Polish community and other UK residents of migrant heritage," Witold Sobkow, the Polish ambassador in London, said in a statement on Monday.

This is permitted because the Poles are white.

Muslims are a protected class.

Compare to WW2 when the saying went: The problem with Americans is that they are over paid, over sexed and over here.

Some significant amount of time after "muslim" did, but the objective is the same...

Racial abuse? Were the Poles not white? Somehow I doubt it.

It’s much more likely that the author is a complete moron.

My understanding is that a great many Poles have flooded the job market in England via EU rules of free movement, etc., and that therefore there is much resentment.

Hell, Mexicans aren’t Muslims either, but many here in the US are none too happy about their influx. Not that hard to understand, is it?
