UK Poles attack Daily Mail 'bias'

* Colin Graham in Warsaw and Stephen Brook

The Federation of Poles in Great Britain has "reluctantly" filed a complaint to the Press Complaints Commission accusing the Daily Mail of defaming Polish residents in the UK.

In its letter of complaint to the PCC the federation accused the Daily Mail of printing articles that gave rise to "negative emotions and tensions between the new EU immigrants and local communities".

Note Daily Mail covers the Evening Standard and were strong supporters of Adolf Hitler and Oswald Moseley's fascist Blackshirts in the 1930's.

<rubs hands together> ooooh, I so hope that NoImmi reads this...

Wasn't there a case recently where one of the DM's staffers was actively looking for employers who had experienced problems with Polish staff?

Hei, isn't it Noimmi fav newspaper ? ;)

We'll see what happens next... I think they are totally right to defend themselves.

This is being debated on LBC 97.2 right now.

Sure, but the Poles must watch not to get a bad image as the professional complainers in Europe!

Remember the tabloid affair with Germany? They complained bitterly too about "german bias".

In Europe's tabloids everybody ******* at/makes fun of another, the brits, the germans, the french....just laugh or ignore it or better even: give it back but don't complain like wussies!

sorry but this is just one f those situations where the 'polish victim' stance is taken, everybody hates, poland, polish people and the polish culture. uuuummmm no Poland and Polish people your just over defensive and paranoid, this is a prime example of that.

Yes there are a few idiots in the UK who will attack polish people for being in the country, yes there are people who will write slander about the Poles in the UK. COME ON POLAK'S get a spine, water of a ducks back for heavens sake!!!!. Imagine if you had the sort of bad press that we 'UK' got. I think you'de all be swinging from ropes by now wouldn't you, lol.

Don't worry, the French are the champions in complaining everytime ;)



Of course we can make fun of each other but when it's not fun anymore and getting xenophobic/racist, then one must defend himself ;)

Nah, ignore it!
Or you make yourself a prime target for the next joke/bashing because they now know how to get to you....

In that regard you could learn alot from the french! Or did you see them running around crying and complaining and throwing tantrums during all that french bashing taking place in the last years? (Freedom Fries etc.) No!

Is NoImmi ignoring this thread, then?

The British have had enough of the numbers of Poles that have arrived here and public opinion is turning against them.
They are looked on as parasites now and the majority want them to turn around and go back to Poland.
The Daily Mail is just voicing public opinion and they are right to do so.

No it doesn't. It is well known that its journalists use dubious practises to stir up clueless muppets like you.

Is rarely positive about anything in this country.

What you mean is you agree with the Daily Mail. That rag is certainly not voicing my opinion and I am part of the British public.



He's in the sin bin.

Or re-registered as Winston?

lol - no

The Daily Mail,hate filled and biased? No,never,say it aint so!
Headline for Daily Mail;
Polish peodo implicated in Diana crash discovered to be a gay muslim single mum on benifits,causes breakdown of Britain and Queen to stub her toe and dosnt realy like armymen very much.

Do u like follow baseball PolskaDoll?

Not especially. Why?

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but that's his 2nd time in the sinbin. Isn't it 3 strikes and u r out, as in baseball?

Oh, right. I only know sin bin from ice hockey and rugby ;)

So, will he get back in?

Well, when you look at in the long term you realise that it is better to have a known enemy than an unknown. If we unsuspend him and he posts again, most people will ignore him (as happens already) and he'll remain mostly insignificant.

If he remains suspended he will eventually re-register with another user-name. So I suppose it's a case of "better the devil you know than the devil you don't"...

Plus, we are all subjected to views that we don't necessarily agree with, often on a daily basis. I find him pretty amusing, I don't take what he says to heart. He sometimes has some valid arguments.
