Let’s turn the tables. Normally I write about something Poland-related here, but this time I would like you to give me the facts and, perhaps more importantly, the opinions.
I was away and quite busy over the past few days, and only just noticed tonight while on the Tube home a storm brewing on the comments pages of thelondonpaper. Allegedly Chris Moyles said something about Poles and prostitutes. The reaction was a usual mix of the Daily Mail-style blind outrage and the Guardian-style laid-back liberalism. From condemnation to the ever so useful (and frankly meaningless) calls for the critics ‘to get a life’.
I’m not going to form an opinion at this stage. I don’t know what happened. Don’t know what was said. Don’t know the context. And I don’t want to fall in the trap of passing judgement before all facts have been established – and understood.
So please tell me what it’s all about. And what you think of it. Should I chain myself to my oven in protest or is it another overblown storm in a teacup?
Give me the facts and the opinion.Tweet
