UK, Ireland / Stop the exploitation of Polish workers in the UK [101]

This post is getting out of hand...I don't mind a heated arguement but not they way things are going here...I have no problem people having a go at poles living in gb and taking jobs etc....I repeat my previous comments that the poles have done nothing wrong in working in the UK, or the way they spend there money, or how they live..I could only make an observation in stating... How would poles react if there town ie Zamosc was invaded by people arrivng by the bus loads every day seeking work...lurking around the streets, living in large groups etc...I personallyn would hate to see Rumanians coming to poland, let alone Indians/pakis/turks

Australia / Question to Lef about Living in OZ land [12]


How long is a piece of string?

The social security system is a safeguard if your sick or unemployed, but for a person with skills and young it is the country of the future.

The reason why people come to oz is to enjoy the freedom and hassle free lifestyle, good climate and a good lifestyle..oz people enjoy sports and don't talk about politics or religion like in poland..

Basic wage min...is about 32,000$A minus tax
average wage is about 52000$A minus tax per year..
Skilled workers like electricians carpenters have it good.. nurses are sought after..doctors can print there own mony!
Homes in price from state to state...city and country prices.. in Melbourne average price is about $350000A
In Tasmania homes are about $250000A average.(obviously you can pay more or pay less depends on the location)
Tasmania incidently is the best place ond earth...has everything, fresh air/mountains/beaches etc...check it out on google)
Food and beer is pretty cheap, like I say I've thought about living in poland but I think I would be giving up too much in leaving oz..

Think about this oz has no land neighbours, poland has germany and russia, yuk, say no more.

In moving to a new country it is always hard at the start till you settle down and have a job, afterwards you love it.

Australia / Question to Lef about Living in OZ land [12]


Poles drive on the wrong side of the road...
You can get permanent entry if you have skills from day one..however access for un employment benefits and citizenship is 2 yrs....you can access family benefits immediately (ie if you have children)

I make this point... if you don't enjoy a easy going lifestyle (thats why polish indian girl didn't like oz) don't think about coming over...mmmm

plenty of bigos and polish sausage... and bucket loads of spiked drinks (just to make you unwind)

Life / I'm a Polish immigrant. And I'm not going back to Poland. [40]


Spot on..


The longer you stay overseas the less chances are you will return to poland, if you have children you stay where the children live...Children adapt well living o/s and don't even want to visit poland...A lot of polish people who have never left poland and lived for some time o/s make nasty comments about polish people and question why they left... well the sad answer is poland has little to offer...starting from weather to social security, poles are obsessed with politics (who cares) and religion (that would be o/k if they practiced what they preached.) If you are prepared to work hard o/s, you will do very well.

Poland in time will change for the better Ie wages and conditons, but there will always be a rich few and majority just making ends meet..The ones who have not will always be envious of the ones who have.. and if you are better off be prepared for constant demands for funds from other family members and friends..someone will always have his hand out for a share of your wealth.mmmmmmmm how true.

Life / I'm a Polish immigrant. And I'm not going back to Poland. [40]


The world now is international just remember your parents didn't have the opportunity to travel and live overseas, now you can move around and live where it suits you.


for a captain cook only (look), you live where you feel at home and what suits your lifestyle.


if you enjoy cold weather most of the year sure, poland is lovely.


People in a democracy elect a government to govern and do the right thing, if not they don't get re-elected...politics in poland is very erractic, each one trying to feather his own nest...(I do think the present leaders in poland are better than average) but how can you have a person like lepper who has only about 10% of the votes (his party) have so much say???.

Religion is important but lets practice what is taught to us in church, too many poles go to church and next moment are ripping people off etc...(I'm not saying all)

[


Not many watch US style rubbish...however, horses for courses, and each to his own..like the poles say, some people like cucumbers and some people like the gardeners daughter. mmmm.


I think we can take this as read, once you have big businesses in poland, wages increase dramatically to management type jobs and filter down to the working class, unfortuanately when wages go up , so do commodities, pensioners feel the brunt because the government is unable to keep increasing the penson.


thats why



People who have lived in poland under the harsh conditions from post war to the 80's cannot trust people in government, if you live in the west long enough you might understand.


Not all poles have it bad, and if your happy with what you have, your are a blessed man.

There is little red meat in poland, pierogi would be the closest, although pierogi contain flour..

Its what your used to, I've always enjoyed the xmas period during summer, although I spent one xmas in poland during winter which was great.

Don't forget there weren't too many snowmen throwing snow when the boss was born..mmmm

Work / Italian girl moving to Poland, where I can ask for a job? [60]


I agree with your comments, I must say though when you go to Krakow people are more positive and happy, in the country though, its like living among the dead.


How true..

Life / Black people in Poland [357]


This is a biased and not frank statement, because you are darked skinned, doesn"t mean that black is beautiful...The true is that most poles treat black people as inferior... if you want to upset your mother or father go out with a black person... This may sound hard but it is the truth.

News / Dealing with constant insults against Polish [323]


bullshit

News / What makes Poland different from other countries [55]


I find this remark about me insulting, if a person is critical of things in poland doesn't mean he is anti polish.. as a preface, I have been to poland 10 times in the last 20 years and have seen most of poland, I believe I am well qualified to speak about life in poland..

Firstly Poland is a beautiful country, just like the USA, Australia. New Zealand, Fiji, etc, what attracts me to poland is the people, traditions, and the way of life...(although things are changing and people are now more interested in making money and have deserted old values.)

The polish people cannot be blammed for the currrent situation as this country has been ruined by bad governments including the communist era.

To be frank when you talk about tourism in poland, the things which attact people to poland is Krakow and cheap grog, girls and food. Rest assured when prices match those of other countries like UK and USA, poland will have very little tourist..

Things that annoy me in poland. low grade hotels charging high prices, poor roads, having to pay to use a toilet, and almost everything you want you need to bribe.

Poles are not developing a amercian mentality, which I find revolting.

Am I anti polish, I don't think so.

News / What makes Poland different from other countries [55]



Those two points I agree with and make poland different to other countries, Traditions and enjoying the small things of life is what I like about poland, enjoying mushroom picking and only getting a few and nights around a table singing and enjoying a vodka appeals to me.

Customer service is much better now, and more so in private shops.
One thing that has made poland atractive for tourist is the buying power of the oxford scholar, I might add that when that equals the polish zlote, few people will be visiting poland.

Hygiene and public toilets needs to be improved, and poles need to be more easy going.

As for tourist attractions, apart from some castles and old churches not much to offer, better beaches and mountains elsewhere..

Are poles loyal to each other... answer listen to what goes on in polish politics

News / What makes Poland different from other countries [55]


You have made a big statement here, please explain yourself?


As you grow older values and returning to roots mean more than money or good lifestyle, the point is that poland appeals to a lot of people, including the poms who buy cheap grog and are able to display there bad behavior without being dealt by the law..Believe me once the value of the dollar decreases so will the tourist.,

I'm not anti polish, just sharing my experieces...

It is more cheaper to pay people benefits than cause trouble in the workforce>>> think about it...?
