UK, Ireland / Are the Poles in England hated? [450]


Because of the anti-British sentiment on here in regards to weekend visits to Krakow. It's not as if the British come to Poland and disrespect the culture ALL year round.

A definition from dictionary.com

gypsy: (lowercase) a person held to resemble a gypsy, esp. in physical characteristics or in a traditionally ascribed freedom or inclination to move from place to place.

So yes, someone would be perfectly correct in describing a traveller as a gypsy.

I hope that helps.

Not at all. It is used all over the UK. Usually by teenagers though.

This Labour government has been in power for 11 years, to suggest that 99.9% of the electorate don't support them is laughable and indeed incredibly ignorant.


Who said the UK was a paradise?

UK, Ireland / Are the Poles in England hated? [450]

Every country has a fascist element. Britain should be admired for the fact that the BNP is so widely laughed at and has no political power whatsoever. You only need to look around Europe for similar parties which command far greater acceptance among their electorate.

It's all a little sad really. That's why a more multicultural place like London would perhaps be better.

I don't know. Maybe I just made that up. Either way, they are not there which is a shame but hey ho.

I noticed this. I thought I was being punished by an angry mod but it appears as if they have been archived. Shame really because the old threads were a good source for translations. I'm sure a number of the new threads will be duplicates of the ones that are no longer...

Poland doesn't deserve the World Cup.

They have some of the worst behaved fans in the World. They make the Scousers and Cockneys of the 1980's look like angels.

Are the Poles in England hated?

Evidently not as much as the Brits in Krakow!!


The 'pumped up Poles'* at my local gyms in East London don't do this. But if you've seen the black/asian guys in question you'd understand why!!

* the spotty backs are usually good indication of 'roid abuse (personally never understood the rationale behind risking an early death and shrinking your tool, solely to end up with an upper body which looks stupidly dispraportionate to your legs!)

It is this point which makes this debate so funny. I wonder whether any of the people on their high horses regarding the British abroad have ever been to London and seen the behaviour of some Poles.


The Polish have the most violent football fans in Europe. The sad thing is they idolise the British culture of the 70's/80's which has long since died out (similar to taste in jeans etc).

I propose a ban on watching Rise of the Foot Soldier and The Football Factory. Clearly a bad influence on this nation of perfect people.

Like I said. Paedophilic acts are sick whatever country they are committed in!

As long as the people involved are of the age of consent there isn't a problem. Sex tourism is one of Thailand's biggest 'exports'.


Actually, I haven't found this a problem in many (if any) of the European countries I have visited. You will see an infinitely higher number of drunk Brits on Greek islands than in Krakow, but the locals there don't seem to b*tch about it quite as much as some do on here. Likewise, I see more Poles in London than actually live in Krakow but I choose to embrace this rather than form ignorant racial stereotypes.

Leytonstone/Stratford.

Go for East London. Everyone knows that the cockneys do it best.

True.

*keyboard warrior alert*

Travel / Krakow going down the toilet! [184]

Don't stereotype me. I wouldn't think of stereotyping the good people of Northern Ireland in a derogatory way.

Refusing someone entry to a club because they are out of their boat is different to singling out a group based on nationality. I have been to Faliraki, Kos, Kavos, Spain, Krakow, Prague, Budapest and Amsterdam and behaved myself perfectly. Indeed, when I was in Krakow, two Kiwis I met were refused entry to a club for being too wasted. Not for being Kiwi to the best of my knowledge!

If people urinate/vomit in the street, fight, cause criminal damage etc then by all means take appropriate action. Banning specific (British) groups because they are loud and having a good time is a joke, especially as they are pumping money in to the all important tourist industry.


Do you want to hear some stories about drunk Poles on the tube in London?

Life / Polish Driving Licence. [314]


Quite depressingly this same license allows you to drive in the UK. Which is an utter joke imo.

Travel / Krakow going down the toilet! [184]


Maybe when they return home, they can teach the native Poles that being loud and enjoying yourself isn't a crime, and that there is nothing wrong with having fun as long as you don't break the law.

just a thought.

Travel / Krakow going down the toilet! [184]

agreed. but making racial steretypes lead to resentment.

I've just come back from a stag do in Budapest, I got very drunk, was loud (at times) but showed complete respect to everyone I met. I also spent £700 (which incidentally would have been about £350 had I been Hungarian).

Travel / Krakow going down the toilet! [184]


The same Brits that spend a lot of money?

Look, if you suggest that banning Brits from bars/pubs/clubs in Krakow based on their nationality is acceptable then you should also advocate banning Poles living in London from using the tube, based on my experience of living here for 25 years.

Yeah, she loves being on the ****Don't we all.
Write something intelligible. I haven't a clue what you are referring to.

She was visiting family and made that particular observation. Frankly, I couldn't give a **** whether you agree with her or not.

Now play nice treacle ;)

Travel / Krakow going down the toilet! [184]


That would be the equivalent of me saying that all Poles are drunken thieving, disrespectful sex offenders....

But I wouldn't dream of making such an ill-informed and racially prejudice assertion.


According to my g/f (who has just returned from Krakow) it is.

Travel / Krakow going down the toilet! [184]


The loud mothed drunks are the customers. Like I said, it's like having your cake and eating it. Why else would anyone visit Krakow/Budapest/Prague? I don't know people (whether on a stag do or not) who have been refused entry from the latter two places, solely for being a loud-mouthed Brit who just wants to enjoy themselves.

Should Poles be refused the right to use the underground in London? After all, all I want to do is travel to/from work in peace.


No, the problem most British tourists have getting seved in bars implies wholesale discrimination.

Hope that Helps.

Travel / Krakow going down the toilet! [184]

Talk about having your cake and eating it!!

If Poland wants an economic boost from tourists then it has to deal with the consequences.

If Britain wants cheap migrant labour, it has to deal with the consequences.

I'm not about to start moaning about the hundreds of Poles of who show very little respect for the rules of the underground in London.

My g/f has just got back from her home town (Krakow) and she explained to me that many Brits are being refused entry to clubs there. This is a joke and is nothing short of racial discrimination.

It wouldn't happen in Britain which I guess is why most people would rather live here.
