UK, Ireland / No Poles Allowed! - Latest Polonophobic Outrage Out of Britain [660]

So.this "debate" is being ruled by posts from mainly North Americans who have no knowledge of Britain at all and rely on biased news sources to form their opinions without any personal experience of living in the country.

And then there is Crow......no,I wont even go there......
I am not going to waste my time debating this with you guys,because it won't be a debate.
You have already put the blinkers on and made up your minds.
So I will say this one last time.
Britain has much more to be concerned about than Poles.
There is as much anti Polish feeling in Britain as there is anti British feeling in Poland.
The numbers are just different.Đo the maths.....
To have Americans,who live in one of the most violent societies that we regard as civilized and the country that has suffered the worst terrorist attack ever seen anywhere in civilized society lecturing Europeans is frankly pathetic.

Whilst I do agree with many faults of Europe raised by North Americans,especially about The EU.
I think you are the last people to be lecturing us.
Sort yourselves out first.

UK, Ireland / No Poles Allowed! - Latest Polonophobic Outrage Out of Britain [660]

You're kidding aren't you?
"Poles are one of the most open and tolerant societies in the globe"??????
Compared to Brits,Poles are EXTREMELY xenophobic and racist.
But that is because in Poland they are not used to mixing with other cultures.
When Poles come to The UK they bring their prejudices with them.
And though they may still dislike certain aspects of the cultures they meet they soon realize that whatever culture,religion or skin colour these people have...they are still fellow humans.

To these Poles great credit,despite their lack of experience,understanding and tolerance,they soon start to get on well with other cultures.
The Poles have no experience of diversity and have a degree of intolerance.
But they are quick learners.

UK, Ireland / No Poles Allowed! - Latest Polonophobic Outrage Out of Britain [660]

Because whenever The UK have disagreed with The EU in the past they were overruled.
It wasn't a fight worth having and The British decided they were better off getting out now before things get worse,and they will,than fighting a futile fight from within to change it.

Britain doesn't need The EU.
Poland does but I think even Poland will reach that crossroads point when they start thinking they may be better off outside The EU.

@Chemikiem

Once again the voice of reason.
I think you are right when you say there is no point trying to convince Dirk because he thinks he knows better than
people who actually live here.
And as for Crow,he has his own agenda.

More bollocks from Dirk and Crow.
Either you have absolutely no idea about Poles in Britain or you are deliberately trolling.
I am in daily contact with Poles,Slowaks,Bulgarians,Romanians,Indians,Sri Lankans and loads of other nationalities.
There is virtually no hostility from Brits against Poles.Most are very aware of the Polish contribution in WW2,especially 302 and 303 squadrons(look them up Dirk).

The biggest racial hostility I see is Poles against Indians.
It's not nasty,they get on well enough with them but are rightly disgusted by some of their habits,customs and lack of hygiene.

Most of the Indians in my area are Hindus and many wear that dot on their foreheads.
So naturally,Poles call them "Kropeks".
The Indians in return refer to Poles as "Kurwa".
BTW Dirk,if there was any real hostility from Brits against Poles,the Poles are more than capable of looking after themselves and would be embarrassed by your comments.

@Dirk Diggler

You may well be right about my Polish cousin who lived in Brazil being unusual.
But his Portuguese was not great when he moved there and as his wife's parents were Polish so she was fluent in Polish.
It was natural for them to speak Polish at home so their son learnt that as his first language.
But it is a generational thing.
I get the impression from your posts that not only were your parents Polish but that maybe you were born and grew up in Poland.

If that is the case I'm curious as to how old you were when you went to America.
Some of my cousins were born in Poland but most in The UK.
All the UK born cousins understand and speak Polish.
Some can read Polish and a few can write it too.The older ones are generally the most fluent.
My wife is not Polish,so English is spoken at home.
Therefore my kids can't speak Polish.But they are clued up on Polish history,culture etc and are very interested and proud of their Polish heritage.

My son is football mad and watches every Poland game and knows all about the players,history etc.
Unfortunately,watching Poland play football is just as disappointing as watching England....LOL!
The dilemma comes when Poland play England................

UK, Ireland / No Poles Allowed! - Latest Polonophobic Outrage Out of Britain [660]

Your ignorance is astounding!
My cousin,born and raised in Poland,went to Brazil and met his now wife.
She is Brazilian,but of Polish parents.
Speaks fluent Polish,follows the customs and religion and passed this onto their son too.
They briefly moved back to Poland before settling in Scotland.
Their son is proudly Polish.
Knows all the customs,traditions,cuisine and religion....speaks and writes fluently in Polish,Portuguese and English.
You are wrong and ignorant of reality.

@mafketis

Good to see another sensible poster on this forum,Witam!!

@Dirk Diggler

It's hilarious and sad to see Polish Americans with their distorted views of life in Poland and Europe.
In 2100,none of us will still be alive.
But Britain's first language will still be English.
American's first language will not be English......but you know that but chose to ignore it.
People in glass houses.....

@Chemikiem

Nice to see another voice of reason on this forum.
There are a few of you on here.
But we need more to overcome "The Nutters".

As far as The Polish diaspora goes,I think Poles and their descendants in Europe share very similar views to Poles in Poland.
Î would also say that is pretty well true of Poles in Brazil and South Africa too.
Can't comment on our Antipodian brothers and sisters as I have insufficient knowledge.
But being a very early user of the internet,from the days before the WWW,when all we had was e mail,ftp and newsgroups,

I can tell you categorically that Polish Americans are a different breed.
I haven't quite worked out why yet,even after all these years.
But they just don't think like Poles.

@Dirk Diggler

You have no understanding of The British people or the media here.
The newspaper articles you talk about were not expressing anti Polish sentiments,just reporting stories of attacks on Poles
and highlighting the fact that these were wrongs committed by a bigoted minority.
"Brits get on well with Poles" is not newsworthy............
The British want immigration to be controlled.
They want to be able to control EU immigration just as they do immigration from outside The EU.
Currently any EU national can come here irrespective of their worth to Britain and even if they have no job to go to.
What is wrong with that?
And I much prefer London to Chicago.........

@TheOther

The EU was/is the problem,as I have explained above.

UK, Ireland / No Poles Allowed! - Latest Polonophobic Outrage Out of Britain [660]

it's all about Serbia with you.....you don't care about Poles or fellow Slavs any more than I care about Serbs.
Russia will never be a friend to Poland.
Russian people yes,Russia no.
BTW,we have had Serbs in The UK for over 20 years now,mostly illegals.
Those that aren't criminals do "hand car wash",for below the minimum wage.
But of course they don't pay taxes or national insurance.
Serbs,unlike Poles,are not highly respected in The UK.

Crow,The Poles in The UK know the history.
They don't like the fact that Britain gave up on Poland after the war.
But they also understand that Britain declared war on Germany because of their invasion of Poland.
And are intelligent enough to understand that after the war there was nothing Britain could do to save Poland from your Russian friends.

Dirk and Crow please stop making up stories.
Its all BS.
Dirk,you claim to have spent time here.
I have lived here most of my life and know what you say about Britain is b******s.
Crow,you have probably never been here.
I have never seen the newspaper articles Dirk claims to have read and I read the press daily.
You are both just trying to stir things up.
All lies and untruths.(There is a difference).

You guys have no real knowledge about British people's attitudes to Poles.
Just as in Poland there are a few idiots who hate foreigners but they are very much in the minority.
In general Poles are well liked and respected by The British.
Mainly because of their hard work ethic but also because many British people are aware of the Polish military contribution in WW2.
We even have a Polish war memorial in Northolt next to the airfield that 302 and 303 squadrons were based.

Language / A mother yelling at her child in Polish [16]

So someone using the name ComickingAway who does not speak Polish,is writing a story about an immigrant mother in America and casts her as Polish.

And this doesn't ring any alarm bells with you?

Polonia / Ever been to Sweden? [185]

As other posters have said before,one of the main problems with all this "lefty-liberal" political correctness is that the general public are getting more and more fed up with it and it is encouraging increasing support for the far right.Which I am sure is something none of us want.

Food / What's your favorite Polish beer? [870]

The Zubr we get in The UK doesn't seem to have changed but what they sell here may not be the same as in Poland.

When in France I always drink Kronenbourg but most of the stuff they sell in The UK now is brewed here too and I can't drink it.

Genealogy / Slavs are descendants of Sarmatians? [600]

Atch - I think the forum members generally like Crow actually even if we don't agree with him.

Agreed.

As for Serbia,large parts of it are beautiful.The people are friendly,the cuisine and alcohol are good and the climate is pretty good too.

Serbia may have it's problems but I certainly wouldn't describe it as a shi---.

Genealogy / Slavs are descendants of Sarmatians? [600]

Slavs are not descended from Sarmatians!
Slavs are a mix of Sarmatians,Scythians,Alans,Balts,Celts,Germanic tribes and many more......just like now,there is not and never has been a "pure race".That is where the German Nazis got it wrong.

We are all mongrels.....and stronger for it.
We all know what happens to inbreds.......

Dirk(Adrian),from his posts,is obviously relatively young and not as clever as he thinks he is.
Oh,and into drugs........
