This sequence ends with a frame showing a firefighter training taken only by a single woman, while Samuels asks “Back in Poland, are there any man left?” (00.26). Through this introduction, it is possible to conclude that a large number of Eastern Europeans, particularly Polish migrants, are a burden on the local communities in the UK, while the overdramatised ending question implies that nearly all Polish males have migrated out of their country. implies that nearly all Polish males have migrated out of their country. After the title sequence, an archive video from Ellis Island is shown with the narrator making the comparison between Ellis Island in the previous century and Victoria Coach Station in this one. On the screen a coach reaches the station, where Samuels engages a few Polish who are getting off. As he greets them, the Poles seem to misunderstand “Welcome to England,” and reply “No, from Poland.” Another man, when asked why he had come to England confidently replies, “to do work.” The scene captures the migrants as barely able to speak the language of the country, an impression that is based only on the case of two examples. The parallel to Ellis Island may indicate a massive wave of thousands of astute migrants. The reason behind exaggerating the scale of migration may be linked to the general notion of moral panic sweeping through the media and political discourse at the time.

Figure 1: Diagram of Investment Model (Rusbult et al. 1998). Profit, Reward and Cost as a basis of the theory with variables of her own (See Figure 1). The Investment Theory outlines a general model of behavior for partners in romantic relationships. It describes partners’ input, their exchange of tangible and intangible matters and how these factors make the relationship last. A formula summarizes the theory: Commitment = Satisfaction - Alternatives + Investments. Commitment in this context is seen as a decision whether a partner wants to stay or leave, Satisfaction stands for level of comfort and delight, Alternatives are the other candidates for the role of a possible partner and Investments are the things given to the partner. are the things given to the partner.

is depicted below. It is possible to see that Manipulation is the core and other components surround it and recreate a pattern according to which the groomer had been dominating the relationship. There were three fundamental factors: Grooming techniques, Victim's emotions and Victim’s context. They shape the Manipulation itself, as the groomer had to operate the victim’s emotions and circumstances and use the technique that would help him achieve the goal. The personal context within grooming also influenced the techniques, which later led to Emotional response. Apparently, Victim’s emotions heavily relied on the Pre-grooming context, which proves there is a connection between these elements. As was mentioned before, the Post-grooming phase does not retain a direct connection to the Manipulation, as by that moment the relationship was already over (obviously, she keeps a memory of the relationship, but the interview does not evidence her experiencing a severe trauma). However, Emotional response did affect the victim to that point that she is presently at the stage of Recovery.

Figure 3: Employment in the UK by percentage of those aged 16-64, by country of birth. Migration Advisory Committee online. countries was finalised on May 1, 2004. Given its flexible labour market rules, the United Kingdom experienced a large inflow of migrants from A8 countries of whom the majority were Poles (Fitzgerald and Smoczynski 2015). With a steady growth of Polish migrants, the UK had implemented a “limited registration scheme” for the migrant labourers, which showed that the predominant number of A8 migrants were Poles (66 per cent) who registered as employed in low paid jobs (Office of National Statistics 2017). Yet the numbers of those who did not register in the scheme or were self-employed are unknown and it was only estimated that the figures were equivalently high. As is visible in Figure 1, the percentage of EU members being in employment is relatively higher than inborn British citizens.
