Martin Butterworth, prosecuting, said Nawrot was barred from contacting the woman or going to her home address under a domestic violent protection order (DVPO) and under bail conditions imposed by police while officers investigate other allegations against him.
You have to ask why she let him in then, but no-one apparently does...
Defence solicitor Sean Wilson, for Nawrot, said: “He appears to have a problem with alcohol, in particular when he drinks vodka.”
Not that we're validating any Polish stereotypes here, you understand..?
York magistrates told Nawrot: “The offences are so serious only a custodial sentence can be justified,” and locked him up for 16 weeks. They also made him subject to a restraining order for two years to protect the woman.
Errr, didn't he already breach one of thoise? Twice?
Nawrot, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to assault and breaching the DVPO, the second time he had breached the order. He followed proceedings through a Polish interpreter.
Thought so! Maybe 'restraining order' doesn't translate well into Polish?

If he was Polish, perhaps he was there to paint the house, sort out her plumbing, repair the dishwasher, and dig the garden? You know, all the jobs you can't get a Brit to do.

I always loved that 'myth' too Penseivat.
My city has a major Polish contingent, and ghetto now they all decided to live in the same area (which makes even the 'Syrian', who all amazingly speak Urdu, area look clean and safe in comparison). 80% of them are on benefits, and living in housing association homes (whilst, amazingly, all driving Mercs or Beemers).
Still, I 'do' so enjoy the diversity of stepping over dead drunk Poles lying about the city centre when I'm on my way to work (to pay for 'their' beer), the Portuguese at least crawl into shop doorways.
Wisbech?

Cheers, you too! May it be all you hope it to be!
"You know, all the jobs you can't get a Brit to do."
It's a nice thought, but anon has other ideas...
