"Anyone who is "scared" by Polish people serving them in their local cafe has some serious issues, probably inspired by tabloid paranoia."

Yep! I'll go along with that. By far the more scary prospect is some local hoody catching a glimpse of the contents of your wallet when you pay for your cuppa.

Scariest of all is the thought of the British Nazi (Oops! Sorry, that's British National) Party ever gaining any significant power.

Then I would definitely emigrate to Poland.
