Looking at this social study from '50s, Im amazed to find out how similar the language of stereotypyes was then and now: "Some arguments used in the anti-Polish campaign had a religious and social content. Poles, predominantly Roman Catholics, were said in some parts of Scotland, to be Papist spies. All over the country they were portrayed, with some success, as a race of Casanovas who menaced the integrity of British womanhood." (p.82)
