Why is it that every time somebody,ANYBODY, in Great Britain,or ,especially,England, says ANYTHING, or expresses ANY concern about the OVERWHELMING and TOTALLY UNSUSTAINABLE numbers of uncontrolled immigrants to an ALREADY OVERPOPULATED small island, they are immediately branded a RACIST or a NAZI ??? Why ??Why ?? Why ??
       I have nothing against Poles "per se".....my first girlfriend was a Burzinski, my first "proper" partner a Ziolkowski,and I really fancied a Bozena Radomski (despite her Glasgow accent ! )---in fact, many Poles,displaced by WW2, were housed in special camps in and around the Henley--Reading area, and the Polish Catholic College of The Sacred Heart, staffed by the Polish Marian Fathers,only very recently closed its doors at Fawley Court,near Henley-on-Thames where I was born and live today.BUT----I am talking about the 1950s and early to mid 1960s here, when A) the recent anti-German alliance between Britain and Poland was much more in the public collective mind and B)..there was far less overcrowding and congestion than there is today !!Thus were we ready,willing,and able to assimilate large numbers of refugees from the European theatre of the war.(including many GERMANS, which I think speaks volumes about the KINDNESS and TOLERANCE of the British people.)
                      Fast forward to today, however, and you have a DIFFERENT STORY altogether.Poland itself was lost to us for many years,and a whole generation grew up here in Britain knowing Poland as a COMMUNIST BLOC country, ---a part of the SOVIET EMPIRE, for God's sake !! COMMIES !! Now, because of recent political events, Poland is A) restored to its status as a non-communist country, and B) is suddenly part of the European Economic Union !! SO.....times are hard over there,after years of COMMUNIST maladministration,and there are no restrictions on cross-border travel in the EU, so, what do the Poles do ?? What anyone else would do, of course !! They come to SOFT,SENTIMENTAL,TOLERANT,FRIENDLY but, sadly, OVERCROWDED Britain----where, sadly,their prescence is not so welcome. It's a mixture of ECONOMICS and DEMOGRAPHICS, quite simply. So, some of you out there, PLEASE vent your Anti-Racist spleen elsewhere, and GET REAL ( Or come and live here in OVERCROWDEDSVILLE UK !!).
                   Shalom !!
