The thing is that this is made up in order to pinch poor Poles because Poles wont rise to "defend" the image of themselves. If this was said about Muslims, we would have local demonstrations. Even though no Pole starves in London to such extent to eat mice.

Si-- is doing everything to tease your eyes.

D´oh!

Why would I try to defend Poles - I don´t know even one homeless one, let alone a homeless one in London so I wouldn´t know what they eat. Of course tabloids look for sensation and, as millions of Poles flooded the UK, they became the favourite target group of the gutter press which loves making up stories. I have never heard about Poles eating swans or mice in Poland. Why shoud they do it in the country that has a social system so easy to milk that it´s hard to imagine somebody would actually be homeless - that I don´t know. But I guess anything can happen. Would tabloids be able to tell a Polish immigrant from a Czech one? Or a Ukrainian passing for Lithuanian? I doubt it...

Naaah, there isnt single homeless pole in UK, unless at his/her request. Its just cheap papers hunting sensations. Poles are an easy target, you can tease them as much as you want, all they do is WORK-EARN-WORK-EARN. I doubt if they ever read papers.  I dont read them.

And i know Si++ wants to provoke but let´s be honest - I´m not Turkish, I don´t feel the need to defend the Polish pride in the collective national sense. I don´t eat mice, why should I take offence in what he said. Is it possible that some Poles eat mice? I have no idea so I can´t say I´m 100% sure they don´t. Seems better to me than starving.

Which one of you has pushed the wrong buttons of S--? It must be you DD!

Poles would rather steal meat from the markets than eat mice. Its ridiculous. Nobody starves in UK. Its just impossible.

If I am suddenly financially wrecked I would go to council or police to ask if they would know the places of free food. Im sure there are such points. The Army of Salvation does that. Plus I would go to any supermarket manager and ask for some expired food. I mean there are always solutions.

D´oh!
