SEND US YOUR NEEDY AND GREEDY: IMMIGRANTS GUIDE TO FLEECING ‘SOFT’ BRITAIN.
NO, THE BRIT ON THE STREET DOESN’T LIKE IT. YEAH, PPL COMPLAIN BUT ARE ANSWERED IN PLATITUDES AS THE RIP OFF CONTINUES. AND NOT JUST THE POLES BY ANY MEANS.
Polish immigrants’ guide to fleecing ‘soft’ Britain
It shows how to avoid electricity bills and tax, rent flats for free and con insurance companies.
The scams, published in Polish magazine Przeglad, are revealed by Polish workers already living in Britain.
One man, quoted as a Polish criminal expert, said that cheating the system had became a way of life under decades of Communist rule.
“Once you’ve cheated the Communist government and the Iron Curtain and the Soviet states, running rings around British Gas is child’s play,” he explained.
A worker called Tomek suggested opening electricity and gas accounts with bogus personal details. He said: “How can I pay bills that aren’t addressed to me? The accounting system in England is based on trust, that’s why you can phone and give them data plucked out of thin air.”
Another man recommends renting a house in a made-up name, then immediately stopping rent payments because tenancy laws mean it will be months before they are evicted. In the meantime the property is sublet to dozens of others.
Expensive mobile phones are insured and then reported “stolen”. Once the insurers pay out, the cheats pocket the cash and sell the “stolen” phone back home in Poland for a £100 profit.
Another man tells how he never pays for a television licence, electricity or gas bills - but boasts that he has never been cut off.
“In Poland it would be unheard of - they would have cut everything off long ago,” he said. “And you’d have to be an idiot to register the TV.”
A guide to exploiting “soft” British laws has been published for Poles emigrating to the UK.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
