UK, Ireland / Can a Polish mother bring her child to England without the fathers consent? [22]

She would be a fool to do so. It's called Parental abduction and Poland isn't to friendly with Poles who abduct out of the country. Abducting in is a different matter.

Without doubt the English courts will return the child to Poland, not matter how strong her protestations or the child's (assuming the child is under 12).

It will be an incredibly expensive venture as this is high court stuff and she won't get legal aid.

Tell her not to be stupid and to make an agreement, that is witnessed by a legal professional or notary.

Don't do this and chances are it will end very very very badly for all concerned, especially the child.

UK, Ireland / Ketamine recommended to be upgraded to class B, will this have an impact on Poland? [12]


I didn't add that bit


The truth is you can buy it over the counter in Poland. It's in lots of pain relief medication. Prescription not required.


They even give a kit to inject yourself when you have a bad back.


For children I think the side effects would be particularly undesirable. It brings on severe nightmares and halucinations. Not the purple haze of sixties acid although that had some pretty nasty side effects for some people.

UK, Ireland / Ketamine recommended to be upgraded to class B, will this have an impact on Poland? [12]


Yes I know. My partner was most upset when I disposed of her "supply". When a UK doctor explained why it was an issue she understood. Similar problem to the over indulgence in antibiotics practised by many Poles.

Lets imagine Dr Spock gives you Ketamine in Poland. You fly to the UK and you are then guilty of drug trafficking.

Life / Lack of human rights in Poland? [132]

Something else that maybe should taken into account regarding the Polish Police is that one of the senior officers said that a lot of them (police officers) came from "Pathological Families". Having witnessed first hand an unprovoked assault by four officers in Stary Rynek Poznan, I am preprepared to side with szczecinianin to a certain extent but not fully. Personally I wouldn't trust a Polish policeman and as a general rule, few Polish people I speak too, have little faith in them either.

UK, Ireland / Why can't unemployed Polish people on benefits just leave UK and go home please? [240]


I believe they make a significant contribution through taxation in the UK at least. Its hard to see what the "Grand Plan" regarding road haulage was or is across the EU. The plan has certainly damaged the UK haulage industry when trying to compete with extremely low wages and lower fuel costs.

UK, Ireland / Why can't unemployed Polish people on benefits just leave UK and go home please? [240]


+1 It's tedious listening to this drivel.


She is quite correct. What the poster fails to recognise is that due to the extremely low incomes EE's generally work for they are supported by other benefits which the UK government is more reluctant to reveal. Fortunately while the UK government were quite happy to say 14,000 the EU were more generous and said 600,000. Another misconception peddled in particular by the BBC is the financial benefit that immigration has brought. If the non A8 European countries are removed from the equation I believe the financial benefit is negative to the tune of £95bn.

Ironside if you want a real picture of what's going on extremely biased report from the BBC. The BBC are pro immigration. The comments below are more relevant than the article.

Exactly. You're English(I guess), it's for you to accept him if you are in your homeland. What on earth are you thinking by diminishing yourself in a such a way. You certainly don't need to learn Polish; quite the opposite.

I really really want to know what the benefits are that people allude to. The big lie is that it benefited anybody but the unscrupulous.


Some just didn't want to join the race to the bottom.

UK, Ireland / Former minister admits UK messed up on immigration [78]


I think your wrong. Its not understandable when 400,000 have lost their benefits for not even making the effort to look for jobs. Its a simple process but some can't be bothered to make the effort.

UK, Ireland / Former minister admits UK messed up on immigration [78]


In this politically correct age its almost impossible to comment without appearing racist.

The UK has some interesting times ahead, that's for sure. If, as predicted by Mr Farage, huge numbers will arrive here again, I fully expect a reaction of some sort which will present a problem for all immigrants. Lets face it, Nigel is rarely wrong with his predictions. Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy for example. The UK has been simmering for some time; turning the heat up now will most likely be disastrous.

You never know it may even bring the referendum forward.

Nothing fishy, just facts as recorded. Why on earth should there be something fishy about it. The Cold War is over. I believe there was a LOT flight over Heathrow that was involved in a near miss because the pilots couldn't speak English well enough.

What about calling up the church, they usually have a few for sale. 1772 sold with paperwork in 2010, I believe. Then of course there are the sales that go unrecorded.

Simply not true in my experience. Usually they are pretty helpful. Both airlines I'm talking about. It tends to be Polish passengers that are intolerant and hurl abuse. The English passengers tend to keep their intolerance to themselves. Just ignore the the selfish buggers. I do.
