ORLAfm – Some Poles plan to stage a one-day strike in the UK on August 20. But it doesn’t command the support of Polish groups, nor is there clarity about the aims, venues for protest, or legality of the action. George Byczynski of the British Poles Initiative tells ORLA.fm’s George Matlock there is a more positive way to show Poles’ contribution: by giving blood that day #PolishBlood ORLA.fm is a media patron of BPI. © ScriptEase Ltd 2021.

Poles are generally regarded in a good light in the UK. Champions in the sky, they managed to defend Churchill’s Britain in the 1940s. But did they also have another agenda? Did they help a Dane to overthrow the norms of the day?
