    Don't know why the BNP don't just give up and slink away.

    Good question I am sure Kev would not allow it as a thread discussion

    Actually, I was going to say that this thread is not the place to be discussing the BNP. After all, it is a thread about the Polish community and along with all our other established communities here in Liverpool we should be posting more optimistic comments and things of interest appertaining to that particular group of people.

    Of course in the interests of free speech I decided to let this one run for a while however most are aware of my feelings on the subject and its effect of forum relationships. I posted a request while ago here that explains more.

    Now the thread is about the Polish Community of Liverpool and its development. So ideally in this section, the discussion should inform the general public and our visitors of the development of communities that have grown including our own, educating those who know little about the diverse groups living in Liverpool.

    Do we agree its going off topic?

    Seems sometimes because you disagree with someone its interpreted as 'getting personal'.

    It seems it was my post about a Daily Mail article about Polish foods in supermarkets and foreign workers undercutting British workers that kicked all this off, sorry!

    No, I think Councillor Steve Radford was clearly to blame for this diversion.

    For the BNP bit he was, but my comment on the Mail article opened up debate on whether or not Poles should be here in the first place

    Your posting restarted the thread that turned out to be a good informative discussion, from food, to the guardian article on take aways of the world, to the EU, we moved off topic that was our problem.
    Keep posting

    Despite what may have been said about Steve Radford's desire to send out political campaign leaflets in Polish I note that Merseyside Police already provide advice leaflets in Polish, see e.g. Victims of Crime – support and advice (Ofiary przestępstw – wsparcie i porady).

    Talking to my mate who is a fireman, they have been trying to promote fire safety/smoke alarms advice but have had difficulty due to the polish view of the fire service, in poland thay are like the police/the state/authority where as the fire service here is very different.

    That's for other countries to sort out, sausage. I argue against the Poles that undercut the British workers' wage.
