UK, Ireland / New BBC series following the lives of immigrants is looking for people [49]


a generalisation again G. you cannot lambast all british due to one of its media or even a few individuals.

The poles were living in a council toilet in one story and there are stories about all kinds of things in the BBC your just homing in on the select few that 'prove' your point.

check bbc.co.uk/news and see all the matter that they report on. its not polonophobic at all.

celts is a fair enough term for the irish historic really.

the synic in me looks at the civil service and asks the same XD


possibly - teacher related performance - but i havent looked into that as i have with health. id have to get back to you on reflection

Life / Healthcare in Poland (and examples from other EU countries) [16]

the government, it can appoint 'watchdogs' equivical to 'inspectors' a three way lock as it where.
the contracters, the government, the watchdog. a cyclical 'inspectorate' works here i think

i know what your suggesting - but who bench marks and targets for hthe civil service? so that wouldnt change as much i think

Life / Healthcare in Poland (and examples from other EU countries) [16]


i think immediately, we're talking just pay vs efficiency at the start. As to getting things done. the tasks of the job must be realistically set. if the goals are not being met - then re-evaluation to the private firm. if that doesnt work, out to tender again.

I suppose it depends on what we classify as worthwhile changes. to me, removing the civil service (or rather, civil, we help you when we want service and no further) is the first big step. Once that is done - and it will take time - it is easier to move a contracted private company yo change than a civil service. i think so anyway

Life / Healthcare in Poland (and examples from other EU countries) [16]


exactly hence my little by little approach. the existing civil servants would have to work with them as they are not threatening ther jobs (no grounds for strike) as their jobs are secure but no more new hires to that system

the new system would either work or be replaced. which is easier in a contractor envoirnment and ensures public money is accounted for and better spent. IMHO

Life / Healthcare in Poland (and examples from other EU countries) [16]


civil servants, political will.

nothing in gov't can happen without them onside and to upset them is to bring administration to its knees.

I would suggest that the current civil service be left untouched and that when any new positions required or vacancies need filling, that they be outsourced to private companies (following tender and meeting correct wages etc etc)

And the when they dont do they job effectively we can replace with some one who will - unlike the current civil service. I suspect this is a condition of all civil services, Poland included.

Life / Healthcare in Poland (and examples from other EU countries) [16]

LOL the rail system is not privatisations best moment but look at the person service, a better example. It is still 'owned' by the gov't but the responsibility to run them has been in certain person, contracted to companies, like serco for eg.

im not calling for privatisation of the health system, rather a gov't owned health system, contracted to private firms, whereby performance is linked with pay.

As in the civil service this does not happen and look what we get (you can say the same of course of fully privatised institutions - but thats why i advocate a mixture.)


it does, and i too wonder why is it not so simple, what are the barriers?

Life / Healthcare in Poland (and examples from other EU countries) [16]

agreed - but then in Ireland there are 5 admins to every 1 doctor/nurse. tis crazy. but a solution is to allow private companies run the health service - paid by the gov't rather than the gov't paying for an inefficient system. if the private firm fails to deliever you can sack them and replace - which i find is motivation to provide a quality service.


It can be i suppose but so far we've mentioned along the lines of things we miss/don't miss but we should go to a new topic to get further into it.

Love / I cheated on my girlfriend (I'm British, my gf is Polish) [167]


tis true. its what i was saying. mistresses in this envoirn were considered 'norm' many generations ago due to the highly 'political' nature of arranged marriages

but going back to today and cheating on a partner - it IS a taboo and generally accepted as a 'no no' thankfully. And to commit such an act is to end the relationship IMHO

Love / I cheated on my girlfriend (I'm British, my gf is Polish) [167]

oddly this is what has happend LS in many high circles esp of old! when you had arranged marriages for eg.

dont agree with it but its happened and it was just being pointed out i think

thank you for bringing this back into context Shelley.

I agreed - trust is gone. relationship to me is damaged to a point I cannot see I could personally get over. Always doubting my partner - no way to live.

Its already been proven and id only be repeating myself.


no, prove it ;)

Love / I cheated on my girlfriend (I'm British, my gf is Polish) [167]

There are just as many examples of two people cheating and both are already married.

the only reason its 'cheating' is that one or both persons already have a partner

if you cant see that by what you have written - and by what all of us have already replied, then one more post is not going to help. the answer to your question lies in all the above posts piece by piece.

Love / I cheated on my girlfriend (I'm British, my gf is Polish) [167]

SG - I havent cheated and would never aim to. I outline that i know my weaknesses and try to shore them up -in the ways i mention.

Im in a long distance relationship and have been for two years. Ive not yet looked at another women and said i want to be with her :) sure we look and say wow but thats a different thing.

and acting on that is truly a crossing of lines.

proven, and not just against Italians it would seem

following your reasoning it must be ok to kill all polish who kill other nationalities?

bad isnt it? we know thats not what you've said yet its twisiting - what you do other peoples posts.


another twisted example - this is not what i advocate at all. NO one has the right to take th law into there own hands and you are a disgrace promoting fear and hatred against all italy for the crime of one man against another man. The child was an innocent victim of two mens disgraceful behavior. shame on you for promoting revenge and hatred

the only hampering is from you. people wont discuss with you as you twist there words. this is a forum, posts are open to all members for reply.
