UK, Ireland / PASSPORTS FOR POLISH PEOPLE TO COME TO ENGLAND [103]


Doesn't that result in less co-operation, yet still a need in the UK for continued immigration?

UK, Ireland / PASSPORTS FOR POLISH PEOPLE TO COME TO ENGLAND [103]

I had a nice trip to France a couple of years ago.

EU-funded.

UK, Ireland / PASSPORTS FOR POLISH PEOPLE TO COME TO ENGLAND [103]


You should see the street I live in.
No Poles. All British.
But many recipients of the fruits of my labour (deserving and undeserving).

UK, Ireland / PASSPORTS FOR POLISH PEOPLE TO COME TO ENGLAND [103]

I love to work really hard every day for not very much money so Mr. Smith over the road can sit on his fat lazy arse and **** his ***** of a **** and make more ****ing ******* *********s to harass me at the local shops.

UK, Ireland / PASSPORTS FOR POLISH PEOPLE TO COME TO ENGLAND [103]

One minute it's forgivable - they're British.
Next minute - bang them up in gaol!
Who's allowed to complain?

UK, Ireland / PASSPORTS FOR POLISH PEOPLE TO COME TO ENGLAND [103]

The Hungarians at work go back to Hungary to see the dentist.

UK, Ireland / PASSPORTS FOR POLISH PEOPLE TO COME TO ENGLAND [103]


Ever complained about a foreign government?

No passport required.

UK, Ireland / PASSPORTS FOR POLISH PEOPLE TO COME TO ENGLAND [103]

I don't need to be in the UK.
Thanks be to the EU!
However, you have overlooked one little fact...
You're arguments are pretty illogical, considering your dependence of the nationality of the person making the argument.


Seen the title of the thread, Mr. Twister?

UK, Ireland / PASSPORTS FOR POLISH PEOPLE TO COME TO ENGLAND [103]


What countries are you allowed to complain about as a British citizen living in the UK?

UK, Ireland / PASSPORTS FOR POLISH PEOPLE TO COME TO ENGLAND [103]

Mr. Tornado.

I am here because I never chose to leave.

May I now complain?

UK, Ireland / PASSPORTS FOR POLISH PEOPLE TO COME TO ENGLAND [103]

I am English.
I didn't want to tell you because I was enjoying your arguments.

UK, Ireland / PASSPORTS FOR POLISH PEOPLE TO COME TO ENGLAND [103]

I want people to come here and work.
I want people from here to work.
I happen to enjoy work myself.
There is a need for a social security net for those who need it.
To allow people to work, social security is required to support workers and their dependants.
It is all about balance.
I also believe in the EU as a means of international stability, co-operation, trade and sharing of ideas.

Love / I really like this Polish guy....what to do next?? [76]


Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Old before her time, or are some oldies just childish?

Love / I really like this Polish guy....what to do next?? [76]

I had a relationship with a woman about 10 years older than me. It didn't worrk.
Next time, 10 years younger?

If you're wondering how old I am,
the answer:

donkeys years.

Love / Sending flowers to my Polish boyfriend [73]

Picture this:

Man brings flowers home for his wife.
Wife says "What are you apologising for?"

Woman gives flowers to her husband.
"Great! Now I've got some dead plant genitalia to deal with!"

Wine works far better.

Language / Should I learn both Polish and German [147]

I'm not so impressed.

There are a lot of people in the world who can speak German.

I, on the other hand, can't speak German.
Although I did claim (in this thread) to be aware of a language called Germany!

Love / Sending flowers to my Polish boyfriend [73]


Does this shop have a woman's name?


Is his favourite one a fox?

Language / Should I learn both Polish and German [147]


I'm not claiming impressive.
It is good for the mind to be learning things.
And whatever language it is, it may have some practical use too.


Enlgish is spoken badly, not just by foreign speakers (who may be very good, or not),
but also by those who speak it as their first or only language.


I only ever bite off slightly more than I can chew. That's not all there is.

The Welsh education system was run the same as that of the English.
It may be slightly different under the Welsh Assembly, but that does not have that many powers.
Scottish education is different.

Language / Question about the Nickname Ola versus Aleksandra [9]


An easy thing to miks up!

What about a short form of Aleksander?

Language / Question about the Nickname Ola versus Aleksandra [9]

I thought it would probably end in -ek.
But Olek rather than Alek.

What about all the people who get wrongly convicted?
You can be found innocent after time in prison,
but what good is that when you're dead?

The lesson it teaches is that if a country can kill it's people, then killing can be justified.

Look at which countries do continue to practise capital punishment:
China, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, USA...
Not countries I'd like to live in.


What use is a pile of teeth?

News / Poland torpedoes EU Day Against Death Penalty [71]


There can be no one rule for some, another for others.
Beyond reasonable doubt should be the only measure.

Also, if someone has committed such heinous crimes, do I want to give them the easy way out?
I can think of one or two very nasty people who are in prison in the UK, who will never be released.
Death would surely have been an easier option for them.

News / Poland torpedoes EU Day Against Death Penalty [71]


It is the administering of the punishment, and thus worth paying for.
Law and order cannot come cheap.

In China, the death sentence is normally carried out by shooting.
The families of the executed are then charged for the cost of the bullet.
I assume you are not advocating such acts, but to me it only works to underline the barbarism of capital punishment.

News / Poland torpedoes EU Day Against Death Penalty [71]


The administration of our prisons has no bearing on the principle at stake here.
Prisons in the UK are not run how they should be.
Tail wagging dog.

Question:
In the US, how long does the average death row prisoner stay on death row?
A sensible use of resources?


did in South Africa too.

News / Poland torpedoes EU Day Against Death Penalty [71]


You don't need to tel me.

I mentioned the sensible use of resources to show Zgubiony's argument


to be misplaced, when in the US, death row prisoners languish for years.

In the less civilised countries that still practise capital punishment, the waiting time is much lower,
but justice is even more thin on the ground in such places.

News / English vs. Polish hostility [323]

It is an issue in the UK, but from my sheltered little corner of the country, it is not a very big issue.
There are Polish workers over here. "So what?" is what I hear most people say.

It is more of an issue in towns with large numbers of immigrants (Poles included) and with larger groups of settled communities recently descended from immigrants. There the problem is more one of ghettoisation and the unwillingness of people of all backgrounds to form a cohesive community.
