UK, Ireland / British taxpayers pay homeless Polish to go home. [184]

we british avaed the poles from the nazis, now we have to pay them money through the eu. what do they contribute to the uk ..... nothing.

Among all your other stupid statements I have to take issue with this one. Tell me how many British Soldiers fought in Poland to remove the Nazi? Put this against the 400K Poles who fought for the British Army in Africa, Italy, France and Germany and they were told they could even go back to Poland as Roosevelt handed Poland to an even worse regime in the form of the Communists.

Poles fought to save Britain from the Nazi's not the other way round.

UK, Ireland / Manchester - Question - living standard for Polish migrants. [29]

heard some thing like that "oh look. next polish bloke here - ha ha ha". Because I was stright from the plane and I was holding a bags. So natives thought that I just came here to steal their maintenance job.

I think they were joking a about another Pole just got off the plane, in the context that there are suddenly Polish everywhere, which is funny. I don't think someone scared to 'lose their maintenance job' would be laughing about it.

USA, Canada / Gas prices in America [127]

When you read the list, bear in mind that unlike the US, Norway is a net exporter of oil products!

So, just about, is the UK.

The prices are to keep consumption down and efficiency up. The US ignored the oil shock of 1973 and allowed sprawling urbanisation. The UK aimed for oil efficiency and has built a tax buffer to absorb future price rises. Its taxation as a defensive weapon and driver of social change

All vehicles in the US are equiped with emission control catalytic converters, not seen much in Europe.

Bollocks, all EU cars have Cats and have done for many years.

News / The legal definition of Vodka in EU - Poland not happy [16]

Because these places are full of tourists and they like to be served what they are used to, which is the crap they find in their native countries, the mediocre products invented for their own national markets according to their taste. Be it vodka or any other typical product from just any country, it's a common phenomenon.

Bollocks. Tourists want to try local drinks. The problem is trendy bars are trendy bars, which is snobby and expensive, basically. They can charge more for 'imported' because its unusual.

News / Poland's Growth Fastest in 10 Years [95]

Really? Lets see.. defeated the Russian Army in 1920. 1939 fought the Germany army for longer than the combined British and French Army's did in 1940. And they were fighting the Soviets at the same time. They shot down a quarter of the German airforce.

UK, Ireland / Great Britain vs England, Ireland, Scottland, Wales [37]

Student loads are a disgrace and should never have been introduced. Its true that the English pay for Scotland, even with the Oil, Scotland benefits from the Union. But Britain is better as one nation, Scotlands contribution to engineering and politics (for instance) are part of what made Britain what it is - a very successful nation.

News / The legal definition of Vodka in EU - Poland not happy [16]

And you can make wine even from apples, and yet the countries from the so called "vodka belt" respected the plea from the countries from the so called "wine belt" and agreed to pass legislation that wine can be made only from grapes. It's a pity that the "wine" countries are not so keen to respect our traditions and heritage. :/

Wine tastes of what you make it from. Vodka has basically no taste at all, its a chemical produced from sugar. Remove the water and you can use it to drive a car or strip paint. The UK has been making grain alcohol for centuries as well (adding flavour and calling it Gin), so it as much a British tradition as anyone else's. Which is to say, nobody's.

News / Poland's Growth Fastest in 10 Years [95]

and it will be but only if the Polish man stay in Poland

What, so that they be unemployed? Instead they are overseas sending back 4billion euro's a year and contributing 5% of Polands GDP. They account for a large part of Polands growth.

They you would know this because you are an economist (ha, ha, ha).

They are committing crimes all over the world.
Its disgraceful but when you have a 'democracy' that gives almost absolute power to whoever is rich enough to buy it, what do you expect?

UK, Ireland / Polish girl burned alive in Liverpool [201]

This forum is the most racist I'm a member of. Poles seem to be obsessed with race, not surprising since their contact with the outside word has been very limited for a long time.

But the British (don't refer to the English, its a nation of Irish, Scots, Welsh and English) have many waves of immigrants coming here spreading back centuries.

In rough order we've had Jews, Germans, French, Irish, Poles, Hungarian, Black Caribbean, Indian, Pakistani, South African, Australian, French, Swedish and now the Poles again.

The UK, as pointed out has a open door policy to refugee's and the politically repressed, so much so that neo-nazi American's refer to it as Londonistan. Everybody is welcome here.

In comparison, whats Polands tolerence levels like? A constant talk about Poland and its 'race', why are Polish men/Women better, why is Poland so F***ing perfect, etc. How much do we hate XXXX country. I've even heard a Pole say London is too cosmopolitan...wtf?

'Race' or Nationalism is history. Poland is now part of the EU, it will take time but nationalism will die out. Get used to it and shut up with the nationalistic ****.

UK, Ireland / Polish girl burned alive in Liverpool [201]

Have you heard about any english girl burnt alive by boyfriend?

Yes and worse.

And what does 'English' have to do with it anyway? if you are going to get racist, Clarke is an Irish name (Liverpool has a very high density of Irish people). Are you going to condem Ireland now, just for good measure?

UK, Ireland / Polish girl burned alive in Liverpool [201]

Peterweg, do you mean that ola's statement that the burning alive of the Polish girl in Liverpool is shame on the UK is idiotic? You mean that folks in UK shouldn't be ashamed of the crime

You shouldn't be ashamed of something you didn't do. Why shouldn't Poland be ashamed as well. How about Turkey? Japan? the entire planet?

Closer to home, obviously this girl should be blamed for getting involved with a psychopath.
Her family and friends should be ashamed that they did not stop her relationship with this man.

Ola and everyone else who applies collective blame, should be ashamed that they did nothing to help this girl.

^ Obviously this is bollocks.

Maybe its a throwback to the communist mindset, or maybe its just Ola's racist agenda. But don't make a connection between a murderer and an entire (very diverse) nation, after all you also condemn the million Poles who live here as they are part of the UK.

A type calling himself 'Proud2bNaija' lists the cases of alleged Polish offenders of Brits. He's main message seems to be: 'Poles abuse the Brits too, therefore the burning alive of the Polish girl in Liverpool is justified.'

No, thats you twisted interpretation of it. What is shows is 'People who live in glass houses should throw stones' . Or as Jesus said, 'let those of you who have no sin. throw the first stone'.

Immigrants come to the UK and commit crime, a lot more that British people do. Over the past two decades 90% of Policemen killed have been by non UK nationals.

**** happens, crimes happen. Don't use it to make racist attacks on another country, either direction.

UK, Ireland / Heading to London.Whats there to see? [45]

What i'm interested doing during this five days?I'm looking to have fun and not be bored basically.I'd like to go to a club/pub defiantly

Avoid Fabric. It too packed (dangerously so) and only tourists go there.

The British have more slang and 'funny accents' than you will believe. You might have difficulty understanding them.

Why do people like Zion, who don't understand mathematics or economics, feel they should make their opions felt in an economic discussion?
I always though that if you don't know what you are talking about its best to keep quiet.

News / Poland's Growth Fastest in 10 Years [95]

The Polish economy is revving up. In the first quarter of this year, gross domestic product grew by a whopping 7.4 percent, the highest figure in a decade.

In 2006, the country's GDP grew by 6.1 percent. The first-quarter data shows that this year may see a similar rate of growth, making Poland one of Europe's fastest growing economies. Among European Union member states, only Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovakia and Romania are growing faster than Poland. But, unlike in most of these countries, Poland's growth has been exceptionally stable, with low inflation and a stable external deficit.

Until recently, Poland's economic growth was chiefly driven by exports, which grew at a rate that sometimes exceeded 20 percent annually. Poland's 2006 exports totaled 87 billion euros, increasing over 22 percent from a year earlier and marking the best result for the Polish economy ever. In the first two months of 2007, exports grew by 16.4 percent. The economy ministry estimates that throughout 2007 they will total 102.5 billion euros, growing by 17 percent over 2006.
