UK, Ireland / Help needed - Calling all Polish persons living/working in London [60]
:)
Alan Gordon, Vice-Chairman of the Police Federation, was quoted this week as saying "If the public knew how few police officers were on duty at night, they would be amazed" - The Daily Telegraph, p.23, 13.2
This is at a time when police numbers are suposedly at an all time high...
The question of where are all the officers are, and how they spend their time, has been a matter of contention between chief constables and successive Home Secretaries... it now appears that we have an answer...
...they are busy engaged in pointless PR excersises or attending tea parties with ethnic minorities... whilst many who read this forum have no idea what policing is like in the UK, some of us live there... and are fully aware when spin is being applied...
I see that you work in PR of some sort

Life / How do Polish view others [116]
Hi. I'm of Polish-Lithunanikan plus Kashubian(a weird kind of Germanic-Goth/Polish-mixed ethnic minority in the , in the area in an up tp 1km around Gdansk or in Geman Danzig since mid medevial times. In addition to... born and raised in West-Germany ,Dusseldorf, then moved to Sopot - German. Ostseebad Zoppot- and ever-since
fully identifying myself with the place and heritage of the ol free-city state of Danzig and kashubian suroundings. I'm a kind of a present incarnation of Oskar Matzerath of Gunnter Grass' "Tin-drum".
As of 1945, when Poland, the most faithful and most effective ally in combat, of the western allies during WWII - a won battle of England without them would be naked fiction- were sold bt Churchill to Stalin at the Jalta conference,where post-war Europe has been divided by ally-treaty into eastern and western blocks-Poles still view the outside world through a a sort of semi-paranoid, as well as a suspissious lens. You have o take into account that
6 million out of 32 million civillians were killed,half by invading Nazi-Germany and half byUSSR, most of which formed the intellectual elite. Half a century of kommunism, which was the most liberal in the entire Eastern Block, anyway, cultivated a sort of civil orphanage with little or no relation to national treasures if identity, as in evry heatlhy nation, cherrished by the intellectual national elite, which was missing. It's also worth to bear in mind that, first, the Polish state didn't exist from 1792 to 1918, due to a threesome partition among Prussia - Germany- , Austro-Hungary and Russia, the main foe to date. In the heart I'm a Pole, but the heart ticks somewhat, German though. For Polish circumstances it' paradox, i know... .
Now, Poland is in the EU. But it looks to be still quite infantile as an operative identity, both, i terms of state rule-especially current foreign and domestic state policie reminding me of Germany in its early 193o's (view: youtube: search:"Rammstein Kaczynski".
By delault Poles are westerphiles, but at the same time, like a yooung adult, an orphan as a child it still lacks of the appropriate self-esteam to play along the centtury old societies of the UK, France and even Germany, for instance.
The average Pole is anti-Russian, pro-American - only because the USA is the pnly westwrn country which never invaded Poland.,suspissious towards German, though pragmatic about economical co-operation, with an overdrive anxieusity and coplex with regard to the culures of France, the UK, Scandinavia, even Germany, and well the USA.
Poland is 99,999% white, 9o% katholic, 65% of which REALLY katholic in a late 19th century style. It helped to crush communism 1-2 years ago, but now it criplles the cath-up with the global First-world mentalities of the presence.
You are welcome to meet me for a drink in Sopot, Berlin or London for a thorough ninsight on Polish social paranoias...
regards, Radziej

good point but the uk is divided in different ways... england, scotland, wales are all seperate countries which are then sub-divided like the example you have given for poland... england has many counties for example...
