UK, Ireland / Will Polish names eventually become popular in the UK? [53]
I'm English but I want to name my children Leon and Kasia. I'm sure their mother (whoever she may be) will have something to say about it though.
I don't know if Leon is particularly Polish but it is a family name derived from my Great Grandfather who was a Polish Jew.
I'm sure there are many Polish men/women who will marry and have children with English men/women and so, given time, i'm sure Polish names will become more commonplace in England and the UK.

Look at it however you want, murder is murder. It's sick. I don't understand how the doctors who perform abortions can live with themselves.

Good point, how far do you want to take it? Should sex be solely for reproduction?
Essentially everyone has their own view point, but that doesn't give them the right to tell others what they can do.
I would find it very hard to be involved with an abortion, especially as I want to have kids, and I never want to be in that situation. However, if a partner if mine was pregnant, then I would have to respect her right to choose.
Pretty simple really.
What about the morning after pill(technically the 72 hour after pill)?...... Or do all you men so against abortion consider even blocking the possibility of a pregnancy as infanticide?

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.

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.
Discriminating againstloud mouth drunks, thats all. Pub owners prefer to keep their customers happy, not watch them all dissapear after a group of stags come through the door.

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.
My judgement comes from living in Krakow for the past 2 years, and being embarrassed by the Brits coming here.

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).

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.
Polish people in the Uk on the otherhand are more than upto scratch on having a good time and are all to eager to leave the sit, be quite in a bar and mind your own business mentality back in Poland.

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?

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.
So you would condone British sex tourism to places like Thailand?

Definitely not only British. I've recently watched a documentary about the child sex industry in Tailand and Cambodia. They were secretly documenting an American Dr. in Cambodia, and the extremely young (5 +) being sold to mainly Americans and Brits. It's a shocking reality.

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.
guess you havent seen the Poles on a night out in the UK then? Should they all be barred from the streets here?
