One is going to override the other here.
.bash_profile is going to source .bashrc and set the locale to en_GB, then
control will return to .bash_profile and clobber en_GB with pl_PL.
In Slackware, however, you'll see a script called lang.sh in your
/etc/profile.d directory. This will allow you to set locale settings
system-wide. Why? Because /etc/profile is run whenever someone logs in, and
if the shell is bash, it also runs all the *.sh scripts in /etc/profile.d.
It then goes on to run user-specific stuff in ~/.bash_profile.
Now, if you want Polish support but messages displayed in English, you could
stuff this in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh:
export LANG=pl_PL.iso-8859-2
export LC_MESSAGES=en_GB
