As to the point of respecting the Polish, Pakistani, Irish or anyone else of an ethnic minority as human beings I take them as I find them and live with that. There will always be trouble from a minority of any ethnic background and we have them as well.
A peruse properly of the sight will show that we do have opinions good and bad but in general just speak our minds and let it rest. If it was considered out of hand or racist the mods would be down on us like a ton of bricks. As a family site we have rules to abide by and behave accordingly.

I went to school with a gypsy too Spugs gypsy Joe Smith, lived on the Green in Ossy then got a house next to the green. Only recently he got in contact with me after about 40 years he lives in Cheshire and is a lay preacher, he actually came to see me and we had a good reminisce about old times
