History / History of European and Poland's anti-semitism [192]

Kinda interesting that, when I heard the news in passing when it first happened, I only heard about the Jewish school. What was that joke Frankie Boyle said...no I better not repeat it.

People on the look out for anti-semitism such as the ADL seem to ignore that some people hate everyone except who they perceive to be their own.

News / Drunken Brit beats up young Polish policewoman [62]

Logic is pure, there is no my or your logic. By the reasoning of whomever you quoted he could have indeed said 8 times or any number. All he done was found some stats then tacked on a sentence at the to say "It would not be unfair..." with no calculation at all! The only fact we have is that for 2011 of all the many immigrants Poles are responsible for the most crime, 4700 arrests in London alone. The rest is speculation whether they are 4 or 8 times. And still completely ignores crime by Brits in Poland.

I like the soundtrack on this.

History / History of European and Poland's anti-semitism [192]

This week's sad events in France suggest that day of peace and happiness hasn't arrived yet.

I think Jon that this hate crime is genuine anti-semitism in its extreme form., and cannot equate to what the recent stat a few posts earlier claims to be anti-semitism, It seems to measure sterotypes held by nationality only. If all anti-semitism is is believing the sterotypes used to judge if one is an anti-semite or not as it does in that report, it may be one of the most trivial issues around. 20% of Brits are anti-semitic? Come on...I've had conversations about every religion and most ethnicities, but really who is bothered about jews, here in England - they even have there own wing in the EDL. If it wasn't for this site I never would think about them at all. Though if I use this site to judge I would sterotype them as self-absorbed and the few I have known as brainiacs.

I think northerners drink too much ale, love ferrets and go on about their crushed manufacturing jobs market too much. I am not anti-north of England and would never wish any ill upon them...bloody northerners!.

link?

I think you might find it is linked to some guy down the pub. No newspaper or authority could print such a ridiculous stat and expect its readers to be so dim to consider it anything more than foolis.

So what you are saying is that there might be Poles, that we don't know about, who might have committed crimes, which we don't know about WTF.

No , I am saying this much of what you said " there might be Poles, that we don't know about, who might have committed crimes [which are recorded]. "

Do you really think every Pole that commits crime is caught and yet from other communities they are not" I am saying, what even a half-wit should understand is that 6777 Poles being caught cannot be the entire number. It is however the largest immigrant crime group. That is if your have a crime committed against you by an immigrant they are more likely to be Polish than of any other nation.

Have a read of this, tell me if you think it is valid :

After digging to a depth of 500 feet, Russian scientists found copper wire dating back over 1000 years, and came
to the conclusion that their ancestors already had telephone networks one thousand years ago.

In the weeks later, German archeologists dug 1000 feet and headlines in the German papers read: "German
archeologists have found traces of 2000 year old optical fibres, and have concluded that their ancestors had
digital telephone 1000 years earlier than the Russians.

One week later, the Polish newspapers reported the following: "After digging as deep as 2000 feet, Polish
diggers found absolutely nothing. They concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were already using
wireless technology .

It the same type of fallacy except your writer, the idiot has made up a stat regarding how many crimes are made by one person and decided that no Poles can be counted because all Poles who commit crime are caught in the UK. LOL.

Life / Poland needs more immigrants and their children - which nationalities are the best? [518]

Consider Greeks, they're buggered for the next couple of decades and some will want out. Spain and Portuguese too, if you want to keep it Catholic. Irish have a wanderlust you could do a swapsies.

Also make the gov should make it more viable for young couples to have children before you start to bring in others. Poles are breeding very fast in the UK.

Unbelievable. You cannot equate Poles who have been caught with those who are unknown suspects.

Obviously many of the above offences would have been carried out by repeat offenders, but it would not be unfair to estimate that some 4% of the indigenous population may have committed a crime.

/\This is a complete non sequitur. Absoloute rubbish, It does not follow Technically in reasoning and logic it is called an Illicit Minor Fallacy. One can just with as much validity say

" but it would not be unfair to estimate that some 4% of the population including Poles in the country may have committed a crime."

UK, Ireland / Are Polish people importing a new wave of ancient racism into the UK? [402]

I think he is saying as the premise is wrong the product is improper.

Some quotes of Boas to get you going :
The disease of mutual distrust among nations is the bane of modern civilization.
We do not discuss the anatomical, physiological, and mental characteristics of man considered as an individual;
but we are interested in the diversity of these traits in groups of men found in different geographical areas and in different social classes.
If we were to select the most intelligent, imaginative, energetic, and emotionally stable third of mankind, all races would be present.

UK, Ireland / Are Polish people importing a new wave of ancient racism into the UK? [402]

I've heard that before too, this does require us to ask what exactly defines "race."

You could check out what Frank Boas had to say on the matter where Anthropology became a real science. The development of the idea of races was focused on greatly by Britain during a classification fad in the 19th Cent where every thing had to be fitted into clear-cut squares. Though in defence of Darwin, when he spoke of race he meant it the same way as ReservoirDog.

I am sorry that the facts do not support your view of Poles as a people, but facts are facts. And what they demonstrate is that Poles are 4 times more law abiding than the natives in the UK.

What facts? I have already told you you have compared an estimate with a fact, anyone who undersatnds stats would tell you you have provided illicit minor fallacy. It would be just as vaild to say 3% of Poles havn't been caught.

I notice you haven't provided any link.

Salary disparity along with free borders will leave Poland at a disadvantage when it comes to employment opportunities regardless of government intervention. The advantages are with Poland's business owners who can sell their product more competitively globally due to cheaper labour costs.

News / Drunken Brit beats up young Polish policewoman [62]

As for " Anything to suggest that this is not the same in reverse for Brits in Poland?" I have no idea

What you have given is beside the point, what I was asking you to prove is whether Brits are worse in Poland - the point of the thread. I can in no way believe there is more violence committed by Brits in Poland than there is by Poles in Britain. I can think of three murders of elderly people in the UK just in the last 12 months. FInd me any murders by Brits in Poland. I can think of one Brit who was murdered by a Pole in Poland mind. As for lager louts that polonious whinged about , I doubt there is anyone in the UK who hasn't seen a drunk Pole or Pole drinking in parks and benches around the country homeless or not. Illegal and at the very least an embarrassment to the vast majority of Poles who work or live here.

The latest stats for 2001 show Polish topping the leaderboard of criminality. To say as a percentage and ignore the amount of people who have had crimes committed against them is callous To say that 4% may have commited a crime but havent been convicted and compare that to convictions of Poles is disingenuous and not valid as a stat.

For example if cash in hand workers who pay no tax at all (prostitutes, plumbers, builders) were worth the effort of prosecuting how many bent poles would that number rise to? Petty in comparison to the violent act I know...but this thread is about deportation of undesirables - unemployed, homeless, tax-dodgers etc

edit. Just in case it appears, (as it did to me on rereading this post) that I am asking for Poles to be sent away, I am not. On the whole, Poles serve a useful function in the UKs job market.

That's amazing. I wonder why?

I assume they were just opportunists. I'd be curious to now how many Brits were arrested in the Independence day riots in Poland. Something tells me the Brits were not proportionally represented.

20 Mar 2012
News / Drunken Brit beats up young Polish policewoman [62]

How many of them ?

I'm not sure, the piece never said The piece was more to say that the riots were made up of opportunists rather than any political agenda that was being claimed by the rioters. There is another thread on this site that goes into detail. I brought it up as a counter argument to the OP who suggests on the actions of one Brit that somehow all brits should be sent back while dozens of Poles in the UK every week prove they're no angels in the UK, seeing his argument is to extrapolate one Brit as representative of all Brits and too dull to see this as the act of one violent individual.

It should be pointed out (as was done on several previous threads), that in terms overall crime compared to the native population of Britain Poles commit less crime per capita than do the locals.

Any links? Seeing how I've had to backup every statement you should do the same. Anything to suggest that this is not the same in reverse for Brits in Poland?

How about a link?

Rioters from Jamaica represented the largest group of foreign inmates, followed by Somali and Polish offenders. The list also included those from Colombia, Iraq, Congo, Vietnam and Zimbabwe.

An interesting take in the Poilsh press:

Police in Britain arrested two Polish men this week in conjunction with the recent riots that have terrorised the nation.

I suppose it is possible that it only took two Poles to get in third place, providing the other 41 countries had one offender per country.

And you got that statistic from where exactly, it wouldn't happen to be the daily mail or the sun by any chance?

No, the Telegraph.

In 2010, 6,777 Poles were convicted of crimes

Here is a typical story the kind that everyone who reads local papers will have seen over and over. Notice PC Britain doesn't even bother to mention his nationality. As I say nothing special about Polish criminals.

They came in third place for arrests by nationality from the riots of last year (after Jamaicans and Somalians).

News / Drunken Brit beats up young Polish policewoman [62]

Police being assaulted is a non-story in the UK. The Daily mail tend to report stories such as Poles murdering the elderly which still didn't make page 1. But when the British make up around 20 convictions (never mind arrests) per day as Poles do in the UK, you may understand why Poles committing crime is hardly newsworthy anymore. Last one I heard, last week, was a Pole who was angry that a friend took photos of him will drunk as a joke who was so ashamed that he ended up repeatedly stabbing the photographer a few days later.

I wouldn't be opposed to a swap take back the Poles and UK takes back Brits. The crime rate in the UK would go down for sure.

I did, Just the first one(some have been added since. It said he was unconcious and lost the use of one of his organs for some days. Not that I think violent behaviour is justified because he was not unconcious or concious (only an idiot would use something so stupid as a defense) while being beaten by the group.

I remember last year on the tv, licensed taxis double their usual fares because it was snowing. Not sure if they were fined and doubt any of them received a kicking as punishment for trying it on.

UK, Ireland / Are Polish people importing a new wave of ancient racism into the UK? [402]

You make my point, lets make a list of English born English Kings shall we?

That's why I read you. My knowledge is weak on that side I was pushed into Maths/Physics/Engineering in the days we had a proud engineering and manufacturing base.

Part sarcastic,part serious, nationalism does not have to involve hatred of others or exclusion of people based on spurious reasons.

It doesn't have to, but it keeps being hijacked to the extent I darn't boast and end up self-effacing our achievements to avoid being snotty. What if our politicions became the same when trying to bring jobs in and said " oh no no we are just the same as everyone else" or "Were too good to design your foreign trinket"

Can we have a nationalsm without regards to colour, where out grand-parents were born or religious choices? Where I saw nationalism as a manipulating force was with Bush when he waged war said, "If you are not with us you are against America" Pure facism. In sports I have to support England even if it is a team made up of individuals I despise in local games. That's as far as it goes.

Why are we still ploughing millions in aid into India?

They are the PC term for bribes now to buy our Warplanes. India give a lot more to Africa, to buy what I'm not sure, flip-flops or something.

It isn't just the goalposts that have moved it's a different game in a different ballpark.

I don't know if you are being sarcastic or what? Without writing an essay, put simply (for once, you may be more sober than I) Kings aren't of one land anymore. The new Kings are corporate heads spanning the globe. The sun never sets on Microsoft, Apple, CocaCola...

So you think that the Poles are a race? 'Cos I.m pretty sure the BNP want them out.

The UKIP is not a racist party.

See if you can understand any of these concepts and then get back to me.

richardcorbett.org.uk/theres-something-about-ukip.pdf

Robert Kilroy-Silk (UKIP MEP since 2004) wrote in the Daily Express: "They
[Muslims] are backward and evil and if it is racist to say so... then racist I must be -
and happy and proud, to be so".
In December 2003, he discussed what he called "bleating blacks and Asians" in
Britain, asking "Why don't they stop whining and get a life?"

Dr Richard North (UKIP's former Research Director in the European Parliament,
Brussels from 1999-2003) described our Spanish neighbours as "rag-arsed dagos" in
a BBC TV documentary video, The Enemy Within , which UKIP has described as "a
perfect tool for converting the sceptical... and showing at branch meetings".

Peter Watson (Chairman, UKIP North Dorset branch) distributed anti-Semitic
messages via e-mail, including one remark that read "Jewish merchant bankers
[are] responsible for the ills of England".

News / FEMI-FASCISTS MARCH AGAIN IN POLAND [126]

There is no "total ban" here, it is not on the cards and this government wouldn't dare try.

Someone did.
From August 2011

The draft bill, "On the Protection of Human Life from the Moment of Conception," would impose an absolute ban on abortion in Poland.
The proposed outright ban on abortion in Poland threatens women's rights to life, health, equality, privacy, physical integrity, and freedom of religion and conscience, Human Rights Watch said. Malta is the only other country in the European Union that bans abortion outright, while Ireland severely restricts access.

News / FEMI-FASCISTS MARCH AGAIN IN POLAND [126]

The protest sounds closer to pro-democracy. Seperatng the duties of church and state is not anti-religious.

The number of female millionaires in Poland is on the rise, according to statistics released on International Women's Day.
At present there are about 50,000 millionaires in Poland, and in several leading banks, including BPH, City Sales and Millennium, between 30 and 35 percent of them are women.

However, according to international consultancy firm Deloitte, that figure will reach 120,000 by 2020, when women will make up 40 percent of the millionaires in Poland.

Figures in a new study by the European Commission reveal women earn 16.4 percent less on average in the 27-nation bloc. In Poland, the gap is just two percent.
