This post is not directed to anyone in particular here. If you get angry at me, do me a favour and take some deep breaths. I'm annoyed enough without someone lashing at me. I don't have a beef with you, I'm angry at generalization and respond as well. OK? Cool.

    Polish-language newspaper Nasze Strony wrote that Poles who are already scared about the effects of the Brexit vote did not expect to be harassed after the results.

How the fuck is that Polish fault? That's like having your car stolen by tour own stupidity (say, leaving it open and with keys on the board) and violently kicking arse of some random passerby 'because reasons'. I don't deny that I might be vastly uninformed on the issue, that said I have but one thing to say to such people: suck it up and stop blaming foreigners. Why not blame Indians while England is at it? It's not like I did not see twice as many of them than Poles while I was visiting.

Britain, get your shit together. Do that stiff upper lip that you are so fond of saying and take the head out of your collective arse. It improves blood flow in the brain and shows that there are better scents than own fart.

Sorry for outburst, I'll try to keep away from this otherwise good discussion and don't even expect more than scorn from you guys (although I don't think I deserve it, it's not like most of you would not be just as angry in my place), but that whole bullshit almost makes me sympathize with staunchest of Polish defenders. Just… fuck it, I'm going for a walk.
