I understand poles coming to uk [196]
I visited Krakow and the architecture is beautiful, it was not dirty and even on the drive to Zakopane Poland looked a good place to live. Now Polish food is good but nothing special, 'English' food (if such a concept exists anymore, food is now international) has similar good points and more variety. This is coming from English-Pole who was brought up on Polish food.
It was the Americans and the Russians love who betrayed you if you know anything about history!!......All the British did during the Yalta talks was to sit in!!!....Anyway i'm really glad that you all suffered during the Communist years.....Especially after reading some of your opinions of the UK........Get your facts right and sort your life out will you?
This is indeed true. Churchill was the only leader who tried to save Poland, the Russian and Americans sold us down the river.
My grandmother was welsh and all my family, on record, where born in the british isles.
Hence my reasons for being pro-British, I care about this land - unlike foreigners
Don't forget you would be speaking German if it wasn't for the Polish airmen fighting in the battle of Britain. Britain owes a massive debt to Poland. 170k died fighting in the British army in the belief they were going to be given a free Poland. Remember Arnhem? A division of Poles were flown in (even knowning that it was hopeless) and were pretty much slaughtered. The British Government knew years before that the Poles were not going to be able to return home and it allowed them to die on Britains behalf.
What sort of effect do you think it had on the Polish who were exiled in Britain? Well, they ended up committing suicide. some of them, like my father. He loved Poland and he could never set foot there again. After the War the Poles were excluded from the victory celebrations, banned for life from speaking about how they had been betrayed.
