Irish Primary schools to teach Polish

cjj

Two tribes have been at war for generations, another tribe entering the fray will hardly help tensions.

Immigrants whine about their rights, they are treated better than citizens if truth be told. Yet we never hear them harp on about their responsibilities.

Shite like this might work in the multicult hellhole that is the UK, but in Ireland it will be a different tale. Ireland seems as liberal as any western nation on the surface, but in reality.......

It's full of brave warriors like you, who are going to crush their enemies and qonqer the world ! Oy !!! Run for your life ! The pinks are coming ! Maybe If we learn some Austrian they will leave us alone !

Two tribes have been at war for generations,
I know. I grew up there. I'm one of those people who never sat in a classroom with a catholic until tertiary education. I'm from the side of the community that has zero culture because it all belongs to "the other side".

another tribe entering the fray will hardly help tensions.
The tensions will continue at a low, simmering level until something changes that -- I'm simply wondering if something like mass immigration would at least bring matters to a point where they had to be effectively dealt with. Of course the "dealing with" might be a lurch towards being ever more segregated and wierd. /sigh/

I'm still puzzled whether the "NI primary schools" is meant to mean state or RC.

What are you on about? The "pinks" are not coming for you. Us "pinks" would have never given you a second thaught where it not for your invasion of our land.

Be thankful its not fooking urdu like in England!


They are in the UK, my friends daughter spent 2 weeks out in France and some French kid came to stay with her...

Englands lost, Shelley. Its foooooked.

I may come to Ireland ;0)

Why not, if you have Irish blood I have no problem with that. Once you are not in the BNP or a loyalist.

With more than 3000 people losing their jobs every day in the UK, don't be so sure that this "liberalism" will last for much longer over here either. It's been a while (decades) since I've heard as many people openly discuss what is wrong in the UK, but it's definitely happening - more and more people are deciding that enough is enough; you can feel the anger. Some members of my family are strongly considering voting BNP, and they're all Polish!

I look more Irish than ya average paddy ;0)


Not a BNP support, regardless of what Harry thinks.


Im Catholic.

These situations don't drop out of a clear blue sky though. Those that can and do make these big decisions must have had a "worst case scenario" discussion.



You're right I did. People will only take so much and sooner or later people react. Remember the race riots in Bradford ? That wasn't that long ago and that was in many ways British vs British accept some were white and some were asian.

Similar could happen just as easily with economic migrants (or whatever the PC term is) being the target. It could take something as small as Little Johnny coming home speaking a few Polish words to tip someone over the edge.


And you think that the reasons behind these Polish lessons are not similar to a school that has a lot of children speaking Urdu ?

It might be because Brits are actually going to Poland to live, marrying Poles etc, how many English/Irish/Scots are going to live in india or pakistan? At least Polish might be useful to some kid in the future, which is more than can be said for urdu!

it's more likely to be Urdu though - which is exactly why my sister took her eldest out of one school, and put him in another - where he finally gets taught English songs, not Pakistani.

She isnt the first to do that either!

Fair comment. I wish though that in such situations the parents kicked up a stink to the school before taking them out and sending them somewhere else.

Maybe your sister did complain, obviously I don't know what happened, but nothing changes if parents simply take their child to another school.

Nothing changes in a school which is 90% Asian.

There must have been a time when it wasn't though.

As I've said before, these situations don't happen overnight, it's a slow drip-drip-drip and if no one takes any action, you do get swamped.

That's what has happened in schools like the one your niece/nephew went too. When it was 9% rather than 90% Asian, parents should have duge their heels in when it came to there being too much stuff in Urdu or whatever and said "I'm not putting up with this!". Easier said than done maybe, but it's no surprise that we are where we are.

Your sentence could just as easily be saying "Nothing changes in a school which is 90% Polish." in a decade or so if some common sense isn't applied now when there is a still a chance too.

Where on earth do you live that teaches Urdu in schools, and is 90% Asian? Are we living in the same UK?

You must live in a small town or in the countryside, then.


True, some good points there.

But remember... we've been here as long as the Pakistanis. There are still far fewer of us than there are of them, yet I have never met a Polish person who was born in the UK who has a Polish accent, or who speaks bad English. Unlike many Pakistanis, some of whom have never been to Pakistan (well, they hardly need to, do they? lol). We don't have large families, either. Also, a lot of Poles are going back, or will probably do so soon... whereas few of Britain's Pakistanis have any intention of going back.

Now tell me what the chances of "90% Polish schools" are ;)

Actually longer, if you go on the fact that they thought that Jack the Ripper was a Pole ;0)


I went to a Catholic school, plenty of Italian names and Hungarian and Spanish and Greek and Ukranian and Irish of course, we all learnt what was on the curriculum there were no "special" cases for any of the kids who were probably either 1st or 2nd generation. The only reason you knew they had a foreign connection was because of their name, they were fully assimliated into English society and were not look upon as "foreign". This worked well, it's only now with asians and africans that can't speak English we have problems, as I have already stated, Catholic schools are still doing well and they have a large intake of Poles.

This is a thread about the Polish plantation of Ireland, stay on topic. ;)

Yerrr, watcha gonna do about it if I don't? ;0)

Would there be a choice for Irish kids as to doing Polish lessons?

I dont know, it is unclear in the article. If some Pole forced my little brother to learn Polish, it would not be good for his health. This will be in tomorrows papers(RevokeNice with the latest scopes) I will let you know of any update.

RevokeNice, I am sure the Poles are paying their taxes and contributing too. So what's the big deal about Polish language option in the schools?

PlasticPole

More Poles on welfare here than the woolie woolies. 50,000 on 204 euro a week and rent allowance, medical cards, child benefit, council housing etc etc

They are a drain on our economy. They pay fook all tax as anyone on less than 35,000 euro pays no income tax only PRSI. They shop in their own shops and drink in their own pubs. They smoke imported smokes from Poland. They contribute nada, zilch, fook all.

Whats the problem, I will tell you what the bleeding problem is pole, the sheer volume of you lot in my country. The sheer number of you lot bleeding the economy dry, you view Ireland as an ATM. It is not, it is a sovereign nation and is better off without you poles.

This thread is about having the option of learning Polish as a foreign language, great!.

RevokeNice is a xenophobe.

Scared of foreigners, moi, vous êtes idiots. J'aime d'autres cultures, je méprise l'immigration de masse.

Go away you cultureless cretin. What foreign languages can you speak? You seeem to struggle with simple English. Your spelling and grammar is atrocious.

I find those who throw around the race card and the most ardent supporters of the multicult and mass immigration to be monoglot fools who wouldnt know culture if it bit them in the hole.

I live in a large town, which I think would be representative of what the rest of England or the UK is like. It has a 94% white population, reminiscent of the overall 93% for the whole of the UK, so it confuses me when you state a 90% ethnic population in a school. I can't help but think that most of you are overreacting or hyperboling somewhat... ?

West Dublin. 99% White Irish to a foreign majority all in the space of 8 years.
