UK, Ireland / Homeless Poles living on barbecued rats and alcoholic handwash? [62]

Well that would depend entirely on whose figures you prefer to use. The governments figures claim 464 people are sleeping rough in England. The UK government's definition of homeless is someone who is actually "bedded down" in a sleeping bag. These are the only ones counted. Someone sitting up in a sleeping bag, or standing alongside their bedding is not counted. These figures have even been massaged to the extent that the local autorities have been accused of not counting those that are lying down but have their eyes open.

Crisis, (The homeless Charity) who maintain thier own records and a database of names say the number in the region of 3500 in London alone!!

Sleeping Rough is defined differently to homeless.

In the first quarter of 2010, there were around 65,000 homeless households in temporary accommodation in Great Britain. (This does not include those voluntary homeless)

Crisis, has estimated that there are 380,000 hidden homeless households in the UK at any one time. The majority of these households are single homeless.

Asolutely!!

Up until recently 60% of the registered homeless (UK Wide) were ex members of HM Forces.


WTF??

And you dont think this happens in Poland? Or Germany? Or France? Or Belgium ...Ad Infinitum....

In fact, as I pass through Gare du Nord on Monday morning i'll take some shots of the families living in the station itself or the army of beggars stood on the steps, or then I could jump off the tram at Liedts and take some shots of the 20 or so guys that gather there almost daily.

But its only happening in Britain right??

And of course the authorities are duty bound to house them, wean them off thier alcoholism and give them a job, because thats exactly what I could expect if I found myself in the same situation in Poland.

IGNORANT TWOT!!!

Incidentally, In the interests balanced journalism it may have been worth giving the comparative stats of UK homeless.

Love / What do Asian boys think about Polish girls? :) (and vice versa) [150]


Then why did you refer to the English as if you weren't on of them.


Again I reiterate my point. Why did you refer to the English as if you weren't one of them.

One second you are 'typically English' apart from the skin colour the next minute you refer to the English as drunken thugs lacking class, culture and an openess or understanding of other religions.

I am accutely aware of the many great aspects of being British, like racial and religious tolerance, the very tolerance and acceptance of other religions that affords other races and religions to build minarets that adorn the skylines of British cities. Likewise, I'm accutely aware of my countrymen's failings but I don't come on this board making derisory comments about the country of my birth.

You are a jumped up little 18 year old with zero life experience and you have the audacity, yes arrogance to puport to know the British as a whole and make disparaging comments in an attempt to distance yourself and try to curry favour.

So whats it to be. British? Warts and all.....Or British in passport only??

Oh and I don't read the tabloids, I can't turn the pages because of my injured knuckles that drag on the floor.


If we are all the same then why did you refer to yourself as a West Midlands Asian and not a British Englishman of Asian descent????

Love / What do Asian boys think about Polish girls? :) (and vice versa) [150]


Strange, im sure you said earlier that you were 'Typically English' in all but skin colour.

Life / Legal Graffiti Walls in Poland? [45]

Personally I HATE HATE HATE HATE the vast majority graffiti.

Banksy's stuff is clever and artistic.

Indeed, there are some areas here in Brussels that look really great, the tunnels leading to the atomium along the 23/24 tram route. Its strategically placed and doesnt contrast or damage the buildings.

Conversely something like a Legia Warsaw logo or someones name sprayed on the side of someones house/apartment block is retarded and criminal.

News / Poland hosts lowest proportion of foreigners in the EU [115]


If you are taking a trip to Brussels sometime soon. Its a sight to behold.

Gare Du Nord is like a immigration centre with scores of families holed up there during the colder wetter months. During the warmer periods they live in the parks.

Police in Brussels found nearly 200 Indians in different houses who were in Belgium illegally and living in inhuman conditions. In one house in Brussels 24 people were packed into a room of 12 meters squared.

After the raids, Belgium authorities in keeping with standard practice, released all the illegals immigrants. They were all headed for the UK.

Countless numbers of illegal immigrants from India and Pakistan have been smuggled through Belgium into the UK.

Love / How should I approach this young Polish man that I like? [48]


Lets be absolutely clear.....You did generalise

Perhaps I could reciprocate.......

The reason I have a Polish wife is because Polish women aside the fact their exterior is far more pleasing to the eye than cheap, tarty, overweight British girls, don't open thier legs after a couple of Alchopops and don't have an army of bed partners. Moreover, British men wouldn't be so sexually active if the British women didn't reciprocate or even instigate for that matter. It takes 2 to tango.

Not so nice is it...............

This isn't some behavioural trait exclusive to English/British men. If you think European men are much different to British men then your are deluded and you should take a trip off that planet your living on from time to time and see some more of planet earth.

Whilst you are busy giving it the, "All British men are this and that" and the poor suffering British female is simply waiting quietly, longing for her European knight in shining armour to rescue her from a life of tyranny at the hands of neanderthol Brit, you should stick your head out of the clouds sometime and take a look down many high streets in the UK and you will see the female populous every bit as boisterous/obnoxious as the male populous.

And I for one am delighted I don't have to suffer the British female.

I wish you the best of luck.

Life / The Polish people have a strange attitude to cats and dogs? [84]

I think we Brits have a stranger attitude:

cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6800557n

The RSPCA brings 2,000 prosecutions a year for cruelty. "Now, with CCTV and the internet, the cruelty is out there more," an RSPCA spokeswoman said.

"We investigate 100,000 cases every year. Recently we've had calls from people facing financial difficulties or because they have been evicted and their new home won't accept animals."

Goldfish Chris Caswell, 30, was arrested on Friday after buying a goldfish in a pet shop, swallowing it whole and posting the footage on Facebook.

Susie Anthony Parker, 29, microwaved his girlfriend's hamster after a drinking bout following a row. He was jailed for nine weeks on Tuesday.

Lola Mary Bale, 45, became public enemy number one for dumping Lola in a wheelie bin last month. She was charged with animal cruelty last week.

Smokie Smokie the kitten was found on a rubbish dump in Hull on Tuesday after being thrown in a bin, and then loaded into an industrial crusher.

Amos A rabbit dumped in a carrier bag outside a rescue centre in Dundee earlier this month was so neglected its teeth reached over its nose.

Sidney The goat had to be put down after its horns were ripped out and its legs broken in an attack in Greater Manchester earlier this month.

Bilbo Darron Goodwin, 41, from Poole, will be sentenced this week for feeding his Staffordshire puppy antidepressants and suffocating it with a towel.

Pink The stray white cat was dyed pink and thrown over a garden fence in Swindon on Friday. The RSPCA denounced the stunt as a "sick prank".

Love / Polish girls fall for Indian guys ? [217]


There is plenty to be critical of about India.....

No-one is disputing that India has made some contributions. Almost every country of the world can make the same claim at some point or other during the course of history.

But tell me why it is that Indians are trying to leave India in thier 10's of thousands on a daily basis??

If India was indeed this Utopian country that you try to portray it as i'd do my utmost to go there and give my family this kind of life. The truth is quite the reverse and India is still in many respects a third world country rife with corruption.

That is why you Indians try to leave using whatever loopholes or schemes you can.....Like marrying a European woman or Studying abroad and overstaying your visa for example.
