Farage, Le Pen look at Angielski to see who we are
The makers of the surprise Christmas ad hit who made Angielski simply set out to give a heart-warming Christmas story to the people of Poland who have loved ones in the UK, and those who live in the UK.
But this three minute wonder captures much more than the yearning for loved ones, torn apart in the search for work and a brighter future, or the difficult journey of learning a new language and culture so that you might fit in.
In its brilliance and bravery this ad has dared to challenge cultural orthodoxy in Poland, and and push back against a growing xenophobic Europe including of course here in the UK.
I won’t tell you too much about the ad, that would spoil the magic.
But what I will say about this film is that it reflects what we must hold on to, which is the power of love, it is also in part a metropolitian snapshot of who were really are, despite what some wretched people want us to be.
Enjoy Angeilski
