UK, Ireland / Are British people really interested to integrate with Poles? [92]

think this dating outside of ones nation that you write about might have something to do with the fact that they seem so "exotic" to eachother and different from what they know from their own country.

Yeah, I don't disagree with you. The Brits will go with anyone but the Polish are more selective :)

i'm always on my best behaviour :)

You'd better be :)

couldn't i just have a kiss instead, not a Glasgow one though, lol :)

If you behave.

enjoy good manners in a man after all, why not such a gesture!

Agreed.

One thing I will say about integration though, apart from a recent relationship I had, I don't know any of my Polish friends who are dating outwith their nationality. I don't know why. One answer I received from a male friend was that Polish and British women are different and that British women are more independant, aren't so homely etc. I said that this was stereotypical and didn't cover the entire nation. I was answered with a shrug.

"elo luv,wanna shag?"

Hmm, any guy ever says that to me in a pub he better be used to feeling a fist smashing half his teeth out! :)

Are British people really interested to integrate with Poles?

Well, I can't speak for an entire natoin of people, only the small corner of it that I live in. I have a two sets of friends. One set of old friends from childhood who I see often and the other group which is a mixture of Polish people, British people, and an Estonian. I'd say the mix between Poles and Brits is 50/50 and it's so natural to me. It does seem to me that we integrate well but that may just be the people I know. I do hear that Poles don't wish to mix with Brits and no doubt there is that situation from both sides. That's life.

Interestingly I find Polish men generally more polite than British men, but that could just be down to the men I have met from both nationalities.

I don't know about kissing on hands, I just get hugged to death when I meet up with my Polish friends. :)

News / Poland torpedoes EU Day Against Death Penalty [71]

.e do you think that all are given too many rights or just those who have committed the worst of crimes?

All.

Although the offenders of more serious crimes should have less rights than those who committed lesser crimes.

And restiction from freedom

is not enough. Don't get me started on the length of sentences either.

it's here - you don't say which kind of prisoner (which type of offenders) you mean - or is this all of them?

I don't have time to trawl news sites to find evidence of what I mean. I'm pointing out that prisoners seem to be able to do this - go to governer "can I have a Playstation" gov "no", prisoner is suddenly suing the system about breach of human rights.

Let's be as bad as them by restricting their human rights as they have done with someone else.

Difference is Sofi, they restricted their victims human rights and even maybe their life on a whim, a prisoner is sent to jail after being found 'guilty' in a court after a court case and dredging through evidence etc, and most probably a jury decision.

And you think the restriction of their liberty was/is not enough.

No I don't.

No. I worked in Maidstone Prison, Kent doing a renovation of the visitors room.

Ah, I went for the easy answer.

I could tell you a few stories about it, but not on the forum.

Perhaps another time ;)

Wow, have you ever known anyone in prison before?

In a word - yes.

let's take away other basic rights they have as a human being!

Yes because they were thinking about the Human Rights of the people who they murdered/raped weren't they? No, I think not.

I think people cannot really imagine, unless they have been through it, how massive the restriction of freedom really is.

This is correct.

but my belief is in rehabilition of most criminals,

If they are willing to be rehabilitated. Some people are just criminals with no eye for being anything else.

Those with no hope of rehabilitation, no I do not think they should be released.

So what else do we do with them?

If it's worth keeping them alive then they need to make better use of them...and I don't count picking up trash as one of them

Agreed. Local councils (or whatever is the same in US) can do this. They should be doing harder jobs, that I can't think of right at this moment! (brain kick in please).

That's a walk in the park.....they need to build their own island where they will rot ;)

Nice idea Mr Zzzz but still needs to be paid for... :)

I'm not entirely for the death penalty either. I could never accept it unless a system was introduced where the evidence was rock solid and met certain criteria.

However, it's difficult to say that it's worth keeping people alive in prison when that's where they will eventually die (depending on country and length of sentence).

wise to consider how they would feel if one of those eggs was their brother/father/son.

No argument there.

The issue of the death penalty will always be a hot one. The beyond reasonable doubt verdict is the closest you could ever get to sentencing someone to death without waiting a couple of decades for the deed to be done.

A sensible use of resources

Prisoners in the UK have too many rights I'm afraid to say. The point of imprisonment is that your liberty is taken away. You should have to live by minimal means. It happens to a degree but then you read about some offender who is 'just humiliated' because he had to use a toilet in front of his cellmate. Then he goes and sues the system, wins and rights change for prisoners all over the place. An old joke used to be that Bums got themselves arrested on Dec 24th because they got a fine Christmas Dinner in the jail. seems that's extended now.

We need a new island for these people.

Yup. Or shove them in a cave.

No, but our taxes suffer to house and feed these morons.

Agreed. It's all very well saying that they should suffer in prison but are they really suffering at all when prisoners (in the UK at least) seem to be able to demand what the like and take the Prison System to court when they don't get what they want. All the while they waste tax payers money which could really be spent on better things!

Some day we'll see pictures from other meetings...in Poland, UK

I hope so! :)

Still having a job finding out if there's any kind of Festival in UK apart from the one in London.

Cool pics, looked like a lot of fun - and great weather too! :)

Still very impressed by the tee shirts! :)

of course we need to root our the cheats of the system and put them to work or even if called for lock them up. Of course this depends on the seriousness of the offense

Benefit cheats are stealing out my wages every month! And every other honest tax payer! That's serious enough!

hang on just a second, they are British, this is Britain of course they can be government funded, its an advantage you get when your a British Citizen.

Ah, no, no, no! Of course we should support those who truly need it but those who are cheating the system??? Why should I pay what I do in tax every month to support people who could actually be working and paying tax and therefore reducing my contributions and allowing me to have just that little bit extra each month???

as long as the state is not supporting them

What about all the Brits the state are supporting? And lets face facts, the government wouldn't advertise a clamp down on benefit cheats if there were none! Perhaps our own scroungers are requiring dealt with first.

but you have people who are basically thugs (who may be escaping trouble back home) moving across borders with little or no control, things can be a little dodgy.

I do not deny that at all.

Horticultural manual labour is fairly low on the scale of delicacy and prestige.
One or two people I have worked with have been in prison in the past.
One had very little in the way of teeth...

Mostly they are good, honest people, but it makes you wonder.

Please do not take me the wrong way here Donkey...there's a great difference in trusting people to work with plants and trusting them to work with sick/dying/elderly/children/disabled/mentally handicapped people.

Emplyment agencies may be happy to employ ex-cons and the like

Depends on what they are employing for. Certain Employment agencies won't give you an interview without a Disclosure at least (mostly agencies in the care field - in Scotland anyway).
