Who claimed that Poland was in ruins in 2015? Well...actually yeah, I agree, it was the very hard left wing PiS.

Why does Germany need a plan? Should the EU have problems, it's Poland and Hungary that are going to be in major trouble, not Germany.

Poland already is doing it in Opole, what with forcing towns with a German minority presence around Opole to merge with Opole properly.

Glad you agree that it's uncivilised and savage.

Indeed, the Treaty of Good Neighbourship. If Poland unilaterally cancels it, then Poland can also face the German-Polish Border Treaty being unilaterally cancelled too. AfD voters in particular would be delighted with that one, as would older CDU voters.

That still makes them economic migrants.

Why? They were in deep financial trouble because of Polish mismanagement. The dark days came long before Poland joined the EU, but let me explain to you:

Polish shipyards in the PRL developed because the Soviet Union was their biggest customer. To build ships, you need steel. To make steel, you need iron ore, which came subsidised from the Soviet Union. The steel was made in Poland, and given to the shipyards so that they could produce ships for the Soviets.

Now, 1990 comes, and Poland no longer can get cheap iron ore, so she can no longer produce cheap steel. Steel at market prices meant the shipyards were uncompetitive (because they were massively overstaffed and not very productive compared to Korea/Finland/Germany/etc). Gdańsk and Gdynia had no chance of competing because Solidarność were so heavily involved, while Szczecin operated a massive Ponzi scheme where they took loans from the banks against the income from building future ships.

eurofound.europa.eu/publications/article/2002/bankruptcy-of-the-szczecin-shipyard explains it all very nicely. It was simply not a viable business, because it (along with Gdańsk and Gdynia) attempted to run the business as if it was the 1980's while competing instead of having guaranteed orders from the Soviet Union.

Large shipbuilding in Poland was a Communist thing and should have stayed a Communist thing. Poland is doing great at producing smaller ships, and that's a very profitable niche as witnessed by the huge success of small shipyards in Poland. But of course, Solidarność and PiS hate those shipyards because they don't provide lucrative jobs for Party comrades. Still, it's cute to see how nationalists want to return to the PRL, probably so they can get their rightful jobs in ZOMO.


Oh, it will, no matter how much PiS comrades want it to fall so that they can go back to the good old days of the PZPR.

Taking their urban mentality with them. The same thing is visible in Poland, where villages on the edge of metro areas are now seeing astonishing population booms.

Because they're not from there. They're economic migrants, nothing more.

News / How will BREXIT affect the immigrants in UK and Poland. [1114]

Oh, I know. I've spent quite a bit of time around Brandenburg and Saxony, and you can see how empty many of those villages and towns are. Meanwhile, Leipzig, Berlin and Dresden are booming - so what does that say about "real men" and their actual preferences?

News / How will BREXIT affect the immigrants in UK and Poland. [1114]


Exactly. Look at how Eastern Poland depopulated after 2004, and you can clearly see that there's no future for "real men". They all left as soon as they could, because there was nothing there for them. Drinking beer outside shops in the UK was clearly preferable to drinking beer outside shops in rural Poland, so it's obvious which culture they really prefer.

Hardly. It's the biggest regular gathering of bald men who enjoy the company of other bald men, but that's about it. Perhaps you should say that it's rather the biggest meeting of men who enjoy other shaved men, judging by the real photos online. Look at them - covered faces, like real cowards.





Here's what they really look like. Men, men and nothing but men.

And not making excuses as to why it can't be done, or coming up with vague "in a couple of years" excuses.

Something most "patriots" have in common is that they're not actually willing to make the sacrifices needed. For instance, our faux-patriot here wants to set off flares, despite it being a criminal offence to do so.

You're not even Polish, and you're most definitely not winning if all you can muster is an alleged 60,000 on a day when no-one has anything better to do anyway, and that's *with* the support of Polish football ultras that come together for one day in Warsaw.

Ironside, families go to different events celebrating the same thing. Is that bad?

News / Polish Independence Day March in Warsaw. Is it going to be the biggest march yet? [1530]


Except those pictures are mostly from different marches held on that day and other days. You really have to try harder with the propaganda.

Notice how the attendance of the march is exaggerated at 60,000 people, yet multiple people on this forum claim to have attended it. They're all pushing the identical "women and children attend" line too, even though those of us in Poland know fine well that it's not true.

And no, a handful of FAS victims hardly count.

I love the way that you think that pictures taken at midday are from a march that begins much later in the day.

Hahaha, look at the Western fantasists making up stories about their presence there.

By the way, from one of those videos, I can already see that it's deliberately mixed with pictures from different events. You really need to try harder with your propaganda.

Ah, another one that believes the propaganda of "women and children all happily waving flags" at the event.

Tell you what, do go there speaking English loudly. You can tell us all about your experiences with Polish hospitals afterwards.

Excellent. PiS are doing a grand job of wrecking the country, as they issued nearly 1m temporary residence permits last year to non-EU citizens, and that number doesn't include FSU citizens who can come and work for 6 months without a work permit/residence permit.


That's exactly how it looks in most places. The bald 'patriots' all go to Warsaw to shout and chant about how much they love to be naked next to other naked men, while everyone else gets on with having fun and celebrating in a nice, friendly way.

I'm for genuine patriotism and love of one's country. That means paying taxes, being a good citizen, volunteering, respecting one's fellow citizens and more. I'm sure you'll agree that a good citizen should want the absolute best for their country, right? There's that famous quote by Kennedy - "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country" - I absolutely agree. Great patriots don't burn rubbish, don't drive like idiots in cities and don't cheat others. They behave with honour and respect at all times towards everyone - think of how many of those AK veterans in the UK behaved towards their new home, and you get the idea.

I'm absolutely against "weekend patriotism" where you march around after dark chanting stupid slogans while wearing the kotwica on your trousers while drinking cheap beer outside the local shop and spraypainting random idiotic slogans on walls while being drugged up on amphetamines. Those people aren't patriots, they're idiots who are one generation removed from chanting about how great the Party is while beating up the political opposition.

Agreed. Demographic decline is not a big deal at all, although there is the issue looming in Poland that there will be simply no-one to pay for those Ponzi scheme pensions that they're depending on. Germany has chosen immigration, and it appears that Poland is doing the same.


Meanwhile, the Polish mentality is that early retirement is something sacred and that women cannot possibly work beyond 60 despite their life expectancy reaching towards 80 now. I'm not sure they even want to figure out a way...

Worry about Poland before worrying about others. At this rate, Poland will be a nation of old people living in poverty by 2050.

Work / Men in child care (creches/nurseries/kindergartens) in Poland [17]


It was actually this article that made me wonder - bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-45964562 - you're right, the intense suspicion is what likely discourages many men from going near such careers, even if they're perfectly capable of doing a good job. Interestingly, it doesn't seem to be an issue in expensive private nurseries.


He has my utmost respect and admiration for doing it - working with kids that have disabilities is hard enough, but doing it with teenagers is even harder. It's one of the toughest jobs in teaching in my opinion, because you're not only trying to get them into a place where they can reasonably function in society, but also with all the problems that teenagers have.

Work / Men in child care (creches/nurseries/kindergartens) in Poland [17]


Much respect to him for doing so. I've had very limited (a few hours) experience with kids with mental disabilities, and I found it incredibly draining and difficult. One of them had issues with violent outbursts, and I saw how they would handle it. He would be... I don't know how to explain it, but they would 'contain' him while his chaperone (a big, strong bloke) would get him into a kind of bear hug. He'd then hold him in place until the danger had passed, though he told me that the teenager had superhuman strength while in a rage.

I asked if he ever had any serious situations, and he told me about one time when the teenager in question had bitten (and locked his jaws) on the arm of a fellow student. He had no choice but to apply a choke hold to get him to release the other kid, though serious damage had already been done. I asked him what he could have done differently, and he said that there was nothing you could realistically do to keep others safe except exclude him from society, which was a huge no-no.


Absolutely, I suspect it's even more of an issue in deprived areas. I did the PGCE with a guy who works in an awful school, and he said that the biggest challenge of all is showing the kids that there's a future for them. One kid came to him and said "look, I'm getting several hundred quid a week dealing weed, why should I bother in school?". How the hell do you answer that if a kid has no father and comes from a poor estate?

Work / Men in child care (creches/nurseries/kindergartens) in Poland [17]


Yeah, in my school, there was one male grade / class teacher, though he never taught us personally. Everyone else was female, even the sport teachers.

Polish schools are a bit different as they separate into individual subjects already in elementary / primary school, so you tend to find quite a few men there teaching older kids. I teach mostly grade 1-3 kids in my school, though I've been stuck with one grade 7 class this year who really get on my nerves.

Interesting how someone who claims to be from "London, UK" cannot differentiate between a Geordie and an Irish person.

News / Polish Independence Day March in Warsaw. Is it going to be the biggest march yet? [1530]


Yeah, it's true. I think it was Harry (God bless his soul) that told me that Indians and Pakistanis were a source of quite a few Brexit votes, because they felt threatened by the new migrants since 2004. Brexit would allow them to get rid of the Europeans and to open the doors to their families from the subcontinent, so Brexit made perfect sense for them. India told the UK that they expect liberalisation in exchange for free trade, so...

In turn, the new migrants were quite hostile towards the Asians, especially as they were living side by side in stereotypically poor areas.
