Is the BBC to blame for attacks on Poles? 1:50pm on 04 Jun 2008 Although the situation is obviously a lot more complex than Mr Kawczynski describes, I can see why he made the comments. With financial pressures due to the credit crunch, uncertainty over the quality of public services, people clearly have reasons to be fearful, and this is once again manifesting itself into a fear of migrants. There does tend to be a tendency, across all channels, to talk about Polish migrants when discussing these issues, and perhaps this does not accurately reflect the percentage of (typically hardworking) Polish workers coming to the UK.
