A Briton in Poland: Wise observer or naive fool?
April 12, 2021
I didn’t know what to expect.
I knew that social media and the comments sections below media articles tend to attract people with perhaps too much time on their hands, who might harbour frustrations and not be entirely sane.
But I also thought that this is a space that allows for something real, visceral, unedited and authentic to be said.
My fear was that it would repeat the old stereotypes, that a foreigner would never understand Poland, that by definition whatever he says is wrong, or naive, or conceals some kind of anti-Polish current.
