News / EU confirms it will take action against Poland over court reforms [554]


Would they be allowed to let murderers and paedophile walk free from justice?

Where is the Justice for my mother and father and the hundreds of thousands either murdered, starved to death in Siberia and further exiled from their homeland by this rabid soviet cult.

Time for justice, clear this rabble from Poland now, I am fed up of being told that such and such working for local government was a active commie back in the day.

Evidence must be gathered and the guilty punished.

As you know proper lustration was blocked in Poland , its about time this whole situation brought out into the open , all those connected to the communist regime should be named and given a grade which denotes the severity of their treachery against the Polish people , time to clear out the cesspit once and for all.

Off-Topic / Work in the US or in the UK? Moving out of Poland. [8]

I completely agree with Atch, but I would also add from experience that due to the cheaper cost of living in the US, food,fuel, real estate, salaries are lower than in the the UK, so if you plan a move back to Europe you will find that your US earnings will in no way compare to what you could have made in the UK for instance.

If you got paid 100,000 dollar salary in the US, the UK equivalent for the same job would be 100,000 pounds.

I am bored with this bulshit, you go sort out your gangs, gun crime, trade deficit, nationall debt to china , healthcare whatever, why should you even be bothered what happens over this end of the pond, why waste your time on some polish forum when you could be busy taking some cheer leading lessons or finding a comfortable rubber tube to sit on in the car.

But not before Poland was bullied, threatened and blackmailed by angela and her EU cronies, they have shown their true colours .

Poland will not forget, Germany is no longer seen as a potential friend in the eyes of the Polish people.

Yep I would agree no problem in the day, maybe its a good idea not to go to Alexander platz or the railway station at night.

Wouldn't you agree old sausage.

I agree, but whats worse is a government who is now applying British law differently to people, when it suits, because they are from a different group or because they are seen to have extreme views.

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5980761/Britain-ABANDONS-opposition-death-penalty-ISIS-execution-squad-sent-Guantanamo.html

"UK won't block death penalty for Isis Beatles: Home Secretary says jihads can be taken to Guantanamo Bay and EXECUTED"

Although the above have committed horrendous crimes is it right to bend British law and allow them to be executed?.

Britain has previously not allowed it's citizens to be sent for trial in a foreign country where the death penalty would apply.

Why send these guys to their deaths with just a stroke of the pen, when other British mass murderers face only life in jail.

I is their duty to wage war on unbelievers

Jihad, also spelled jehad, ("struggle," or "battle"), a religious duty imposed on Muslims to spread Islam by waging war; jihad has come to denote any conflict waged for principle or belief and is often translated to mean "holy war."

Yep same history, half the children died in Siberia, another third on my mothers side in Africa, plus granddad on my fathers side.

dad was also at Cassino II corps.

Somehow I find myself here alive with a normal life,I kind of feel guilty for having an easy life in comparison , hard thing to describe but its always there in the background..

I have , this is one thing we both agree on , the kid is just a fart faced twat that got one lucky idea, probably never studied history or read a book in his life, there again I don't think he worries that anyone would ever come in the middle of the night, put him on a cattle truck to a death camp, gas him then burn him.

The rest of us will not forget and allow the poison to win in the search for private profit, Dolno has no facebook, hope u drop it if you have one Lyzko.

Love / English woman with a Polish partner - may need to move to Poland soon [6]


I can second that , albeit if you move to the right place you might be amazed how many other expats have moved in to Poland and generated a circle of friend that may be able to help you along the way,

Although I would be classified as living in the sticks you would be amazed by the number of English, Australian and dutch partners that have moved into my area .


Can I ask where that is ?

Life / Transferring foreign drivers license in Poland [10]

If you are a citizen you don't need a residency card, the law says you should register your place of residency , but there is no penalty if you don't.

As for licence consider getting a international driving licence. but if you want a polish car in your name you will need to register your residency.

Law / Taxes on savings transferred from overseas bank account to a bank account in Poland? [5]

whats big?

Better to drip the money into the wife's account, large lump sum deposits draw attention, regardless of tax implications.

I hope you have spent a few years in Poland to see if it is the place for you, It may not suit everyone. but if it's a EU passport you are after then fair enough.

UK, Ireland / Do British partners of Polish people in the UK speak their (Polish) language? [17]

Work / Studies In Poland, is it easy to survive on part-time jobs? [259]


Par time work tends only to pay minimum wage.

Maybe if you are in a large city, speak Polish and have good contacts you may just find such work.

But if you are in the countryside like me, you will have no chance at all, these Jobs tend to go to family and local people first. ok there is black market cash in hand work but that tends to go to Ukrainians and the work is generally hard labour.
