#Sheffield having a #PolishCommunity confused me as a kid in the 1980s. Weren't they Russia's friends or summat? Our enemies? Why were they allowed to live here?
Then I learned that Poles fought the Nazis with us in WWII, and the #PeoplesRepublicOfSouthYorkshire had been taking Polish families in when they needed somewhere safe to live since then. Made me right proud, did that!
(And apparently Poles have lived in Sheffield much, much longer than that, even.)
