Poles

Not really, its pointing out how totally wrong the statement is.

As has already been pointed out in this thread, the fact that they were (circumstantially) Polish is significant.

It is semantics, and the fact they are Polish is insignificant to the problem. Many British/English/Irish/pick-your-nationality are vandals, not just the Polish.

There is a special onus on foreigners to behave and treat us with respect because they are guests here. If you are a guest in someone's home you should be respectful - or sod off back where you came from :)

Absolutely.

If they have no criminal record, we can't tell if they're scum.

A criminal record is not a reliable indicator I'm afraid - plenty of non-scum people out there with criminal records. Now, if the *details* of their offence were known - that would be different.

Maybe it was stolen by English people :p Would explain the erratic driving.

EDIT: Beaten to it :(

I'm not even thinking what did we do wrong - I'm just thinking these Poles need to be taught a lesson in humility. And i know how that sounds but i'm absolutely disgusted by this and by the idea that they come to our country and behave like this with no reprocussions.

But but but... they're all hardworking and their women are all attractive... surely it is YOUR fault as a Lazy Brit...
 
Call me a racist bigot if you wish, but the area we live in has seen a rapid increase in crime, rapid decrease in quality of the neighborhood all in correlation with an increase in eastern european presence.

Thats not a racist viewpoint its fact, i'm afraid.
 
They might not have been poles. Its becoming more of a thing to have a car registered abroad so the actual english owner can't get done by the london congestion charges or speed cameras.

Facts are not allowed when talking about race or religion. The fact that its always a black kid killed in gun violence in certain areas of certain cities is simply because thats what the papers report :rolleyes:

Or that more black teenagers are convicted of breaking laws is because Police officers are racist :rolleyes:

No there is not. There is equal onus on all to act respectfully, and without breaking the law, whether born in this country or not.

That they are foreign just provides a means of removing them from the country should they break any law. Nothing more.

not sure i get your sentiments Noxis...

You're saying that its equally split between black/white, just gets reported/arrested differently?

Or are you saying that it IS predominantly black people doing these crimes, and people dont like it so blame the press/police?
