The Sun’s going Polish – hurray?
Posted in Media June 6th, 2008 by admin
I was interested in reading that The Sun newspaper, which has run stories like “Polish criminals set free in the UK”, “Poles in benefits scam claims” and “Polish builders nicked my flat” is now bringing out a Polish edition called Polski Sun this Saturday for Euro 2008.
