A Conservative MP has blamed the BBC’s “liberal elite” for rising number of attacks on Poles living in Britain.
Daniel Kawczynski, speaking on the Today programme, said that BBC bosses “would not do stories about more controversial immigration” and skirted round the issue by giving undue prominence to what he called “White Christians from Poland”.
“The BBC’s PC brigade has stoked up the fires of racism by its repeated insistence that, just because Poles are the largest single national group, they are in some way legitimate targets for discussion,” he argued. “What about the rising tide of Icelandic immigrants? Only last month, there was a twofold increase in their numbers as a couple of them arrived on the same flight. They come over here, with their blatant grasp of everyday colloquial English, their unashamedly alien enthusiasm for renewable energy sources and their dangerously un-British 100% literacy. Next thing you know they’re down in the park, surrounding the ornamental fountain and hunting our native British whales to the brink of extinction. Yet not a word of this rising tide of Icelandism from the BBC thought police.”
Mr Kawcynski was subsequently detained by the police for racial stereotyping in his suggestion that Poles were white and Christian, following a complaint from a group of black Jedi plumbers from Krakow.
