Riot survivor says ‘England has become a sick society’

“I thought London was a civilized society full of gentlemen and ladies – but it is not like that. England has become a sick society. I found myself jumping for my life after being attacked by thugs and thieves. They set fire to my building without any thought for anyone’s safety,” Konczyk was quoted,as saying by The Sun.

Konczyk’s was caught inside her house,when it was set on fire by an unruly mob. Her terrifying 45-minute ordeal ended only when she jumped from her first-floor window into the arms of riot cops 16ft below.

“I am shocked to find people behaving like this in England. It is not what I expected of the English. I have never seen anything like this in Poland,” she said.

“Flames were coming up over my head. The fire was so hot I knew if I got too close it would kill me. I thought I was going to die – I thought I had lost my life,” she added.

Konczyk said she was frustrated to see chaos and looting on the streets.

“I came here for a new start. I never thought this could happen. It is the first time I have ever seen anything like this. These people are so stupid,it is terrible. I could have died,and for what,” she said.
