Life / Poland is safe to visit - "Daily Mail" [100]

I highly doubt it

You 'highly doubt' that someone who threw corrosive liquid in someone's face will go unpunished. Interesting. The legal code allows for long sentences. In this case there is no sort of mitigation unless she claims insanity.

One would hope so, or at least given psychiatric help, hardly the actions of someone mentally stable

Indeed. This is another possibility.

The compensation if he sues her in a UK court will be massive, certainly in 6 figures in £.

News / Moody's credit rating of Poland unchanged, but outlook slumps [64]

Bottom line is...pis makes people nervous

Nobody here is happy about them. Maybe out in the sticks where they have some support there are different opinions, however nobody has a good thing to say about them here in Warsaw.

When the slump in the economy that this thread is about hits manufacturing in small towns things will be different, but worth mentioning that PiS core support is pensioners and people on the fringes of agriculture.

UK, Ireland / Why English do not like Polish? [417]

That dude is clearly a dick and that is that

Too many racists cropping up at the moment. They clearly stay all day online and never go out.

UK, Ireland / A new mayor in London: opinion of Polish people in the UK? [317]

Gatestone Institute which has much more merit than you:

Gatestone 'institute' has no merit whatsoever. It is a far-right American site.

There are no 'no-go zones' in Europe, this is a fantasy promoted by Americans of the dodgiest sort.

And Sadiq Khan, the subject of this thread, won by a healthy majority; his ethnicity is not an issue.

ecause you were there hiding in the crapped closet ?

One day you'll make sense. That day has not yet come.

And yes, it looks like a pretty crap bar; after all, it's not every day (or everywhere) that the staff throw corrosive liquids in a customer's face. The cells await her.

News / Why has the US dollar reached almost 3.99 zł in Poland? [56]

mafia

Unfortunately it isn't just the corruption that is endemic within PiS at a local level that causes this problem; it's the complete ineptitude of PiS that has sent the Polish economy into freefall as we can now see.

Now now, Greggs, don't be trying to shift the blame to the previous government who were an economic success. The fact is that the Warsaw stock exchange has become the worst performing in the region (and almost the worst performing in the world) since PiS unfortunately took office and that decline has been both steady and severe as well as an indictment of their economic mismanagement and the business community's distrust of the PiS clowns.

The point is, Greggs, that he didn't - in fact he'd left the bar due to his complaints about the state of the toilets being ignored (a pretty basic expectation that the toilets be kept clean by the bar) and even if he had, she should still be punished.for throwing bleach in someone's face.

And I bet she (being Polish) will insist loudly and histrionically that she was absolutely in the right, chasing a customer into the street, throwing bleach into his face and then trying to abscond from the police....

Looks like she'll be paying the damages to the end of her life too.

I doubt the owner said to her 'go and throw bleach over those British

Quite. What sort of person would do that? It sounds an appalling bar.

a female worker who threw chemicals in his face

Look like she'll be going down for that.

yea..there are reports that those lads were drunk and were smashing this place

It's a pub, they should be able to deal with people who drink.

But we'll see, PiS will bring the country down, since the President won I think Poland has lost 50 billion dollars off its stock market.

Warsaw ha become the worst performing stock market in the region during PiS tenure so far.

Life / Are there any Muslim areas in Poland? [173]

I am looking to get in touch with Polish muslims, either born or reverted.

This might be useful to you; there are contributions here from Polish Muslims, both reverts and Tatar.

Feedback / The Cognitive Dissonance and Campaign of Hate by Polonophobes and Other Peddlers of Anti-Polish Propaganda [60]

try to impose their alien leftist-libertine ways on their host country

There you go again, Po, trying to force your unpopular ultra-nationalistic viewpoint down people's throats. Poland has a centuries' old liberal tradition, hate that though you may.

They couldn't make it in their own country so they came to a place where they could gloat and cash in on their native-speaker label.

Speaking from your own experience again, Po?

Is that the profile of the ideal Polish citizen?

Since you aren't one after several decades (and we all know why) you aren't the best person to speak about "the profile of the ideal Polish citizen".

News / Does democratic Poland guarantee it's LGBT citizens respect for human and civil rights? [1169]

every Warsaw pride parade for the last decade (I think I may have missed one due to reasons best not gone into here) and I have never seen anybody simulating masturbation

Quite. Only happens in the imaginations of certain types who want to think about that.

Oh, wait, that's not true: I myself used hand-signals to indicate to some neo-nazi counter-pride protesters what I thought of them

Remember that certain posters here either support or pretend to support those same neo-Nazis...

News / Anti-Corruption Bureau investigates Warsaw city hall [69]

the mistakes of the then opposition party PiS

So many mistakes to point out, and very worth mentioning that PiS have their own, deeply untrusted, mouthpieces.

Jan Kulczyk

May he rest in peace. A very good man.
