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


Ever been to Scotland? You do talk some bull. The economy is diverse. As a result, Scotland is massively popular with Polish families, for a whole myriad of lifestyle reasons. And it's not called God's Own Country for nothing.

But keep on with the ignorant posts Bieganski. We wouldn't have it any other way.


Agree with everything you say. A ridiculous state of affairs that the disenfranchised and the old can dictate to those who are the country's future.

A hundred years ago the peasants would have been revolting:) And as in 1745, it's time for another Glorious Revolution.

75% of 18-24 year olds voted to Remain. Those older "middle-class" people don't matter in the scheme of things. And the EU would not accept a seccestionist state such as Scotland for full membership. So well done for screwing over the Union - or in fact union of any kind.

To the lifeboats! It's every man for himself. Thatcher would be delighted that her view of a non-society has finally come true, and Putin must be choking on his vodka he is laughing so much.

I'm off to work - and leaving the Union won't create any new utopia for employment - a lot of those people who voted for OUT because "those Poles took our jobs" don't know what a real days' work is.

So yes, Roz, when I used the word "gormless" I do hold these people in contempt - for screwing over my daughters' generation, and their future.

You changed my quote Roz:) I said " a lot...", not a majority et al, but for arguments sake, 25 percent of the 17 million who voted out, to take an example, would mean that 4.25 million are representative of the gormless individuals to who I am referring:)

Rubbish. Statistics? Not that it matters. Now we know that 52 percent of my countrymen are akin to Kaczynski in their creed. They are also ignorant, bigoted and moronic in character, but a lot of those 52 percents obviously are of such low intellect that the best we can hope for is a further diluting of the gene pool..


Nobody is leaving. Quite the contrary in fact, until the government signs the exit clause.

Yeah Terri - but oldish people in Britain aren't rude per-se (except me of course...) I'm with Smurfie on this. People in Slask older than 60 (including in-laws) seem to think it's perfectly OK to be morose and generally unaccommodating; excuse the blatant across the board stereotyping. Or don't:)

Wot you on about now witless? Brexit would be right up your street, but it's actually targeted at people like you. Never mind that in all probability you know bugger all about the UK political landscape.

So did Churchill.

And now Scotland and Northern Ireland will demand their right to stay in the EU. And I am with them, not the scum Nigel.

UK, Ireland / How might Britain`s withdrawal from EU affect Poles there and here? [474]

Cameron is a thoroughly decent man. Osborne is otherwise. A great pity that he's gone, and now the racist scum are running with the hounds, as here in Poland.

Time to pull up the drawbridge

UK, Ireland / How might Britain`s withdrawal from EU affect Poles there and here? [474]

Cameron to resign.

Can't cheer up Atch. This has severely damaged our country, and will only feed the scum trolls such as PIS. We will get some form of 'associate status," but this will take years.

Our capital city has voted resoundingly to Remain. They should dig Cromwell up and declare war on the riff-raff Midlands and North East, and restore Parliament's "authority." The people are not fit to govern, and have ******* it for decent people. It is a far more dangerous world this morning than the world I was drinking in last night.

In my opinion.

'Morning all. This is an absolute disaster for Britain, and for Europe. Make no mistake about that. Some bloke on the BBC saying that he is proud to be British today.

I am deeply ashamed myself.

UK, Ireland / How might Britain`s withdrawal from EU affect Poles there and here? [474]

well done to Polish Investor and others, who foresaw this.

This is life changing, and I am deeply ashamed to be British today, and glad that I am the **** out of it.

UK, Ireland / How might Britain`s withdrawal from EU affect Poles there and here? [474]


That size of vote is NOT good:(

UK, Ireland / How might Britain`s withdrawal from EU affect Poles there and here? [474]

From early results it is very possible that Brexit will happen. Even London may not rescue Remain because of the weather, and anyway the stats do not look positive in any way.

Cameron is now history. This is BIG.

UK, Ireland / How might Britain`s withdrawal from EU affect Poles there and here? [474]


If the UK leaves it will be major **** for Poland. This is too close, but I still predict a stay vote.

UK, Ireland / How might Britain`s withdrawal from EU affect Poles there and here? [474]


Well, I will be up all night. should have organised a party:) The stats so far suggest a Leave vote:(

UK, Ireland / How might Britain`s withdrawal from EU affect Poles there and here? [474]

Well - it HAS changed to being on a knife's edge as of 1.26 PM GMT and it is NOT looking good for Remain at the moment:(((.

UK, Ireland / How might Britain`s withdrawal from EU affect Poles there and here? [474]

The UK has clearly voted to Remain, as it was always clear they would. The establishment wins above all - as will ever be so.

My "hairdresser" is great! She grades her language especially for me, and we have a right old chinwag (at least for the ten minutes it takes her to fuff around with the no.1 machine cut:)


Ace :))

Can you cook Luke? People seem to like the real English tucker:) I put on some real bashes when I lived in Kato. And pals kept coming back for the grub, and none of them died. ( well some of them have, but not necessarily from my cooking.........?)

Life / Poland after one year of living here [105]


Good stuff - PF to the rescue once more! In the UK, Luke could weed old ladies' gardens. This is much of that ilk. Jolly good advice. Maybe there is a protestant church there too (well, there will be......)

Thanks Paulina:( Choked on my brekkie cereal.
The OP could be listening to an audio book?:)

Cracking in Katowice. Great types everywhere. It does have a great deal to do with communication though as to how you go. I don't speak a word of the Silesian dialect for instance, but people in Chorzow and Bytom (I miss those guys) are akin to those in Nottingham, and we understood each other:) But then I am a road cyclist, and my pals were drawn from that group. And in Three City, it is a multi-national drinks scene and more accessible for foreigners.

Life / Poland after one year of living here [105]


Of course we forget the good things.
Always points of interest. Exploring. Polands' problems are not yours. A free pass (sometimes) when you mess up. Friendly curious faces (just maybe Luke should get out of his car and bike it as the previous poster suggested) and as Roz postulated, get the king of dogs - a labrador - if not for him, for his sprog :))

It's a dead end post industrial town, with old rotting housing from the early 1900s, dominated by communist housing estates, stuck bang in the middle of nowhere, if you discount the twin city of Trzebinia - which is even more of a dump. The whole area stinks because of the oil refinery. No bloody wonder the lad is depressed:(

It's just a little too far from Krakow to make it a simple matter to get there (if a beer is the order of the day.....) The train runs once in a blue moon ( a lot of the trains have better taste than to actually stop there)

It is however surrounded by natural beauty and national park, and as you and others have said, the OP has to accept that not everybody can show the pearly whites and clap him on the back.

Maybe he should go to a few name -day parties?:)) They are all the rage in that area (I know). Plenty of bonding at those, after a bottle or two:) However, seeing as he is young, he obviously doesn't want the endless tour of the relatives, the cake, the sit downs, the (accidental) formalities. Instead of doing the obvious and getting himself some diversionary "interest", he should get a hobby. I could swop my Jimi Hendrix CDs with him, but I don't suppose he knows who Hendrix was:)


Superb synopsis actually:) If I say so myself (skilled as I am in all things societal.......)

Yes Luke, I know Chrzanow very well. Lovely area for an old boy who likes collecting mushrooms/hiking/sitting in the cafe in the local countryside.

For you, boring as hell I would think. If you are a sportsman, join a club. The lads there are mad on that sort of thing; it's a bit cliquey you know, and religious too.

It's the old "Krakow empire" land, and they can be standoffish and a bit far up their own arses, but what they are actually doing is minding their own business.

Here in Tri-City people are different (for good and for bad) Do you drink beer? As Roz says, try that if you do. But obviously avoid the places that are skin/nationalist. To answer your question, I have ).lways lived in cities here - don't like cities especially, but have alot of drinking buddies and ex-students as pals. My experience is that your missus wont be too thrilled about that lifestyle.......:))

Whatever you enjoyed doing in England, do it in Poland too, if you can (as long as it's not going to culturally freak out the locals). Poland can be very nice indeed, especially as you sound sort of OK financially? Sorry not to be of much help. Anybody on here will tell you that my glass is always half empty too:)) But cheer up! It's the Polish summer, when the living is easy:)

Life / Poland after one year of living here [105]


Wow. No friends? Are you sure? Depends what you mean by "friends" of course.....
Surely it can't be that bad? You've got a wife and nipper right? That's tops for starters:) And where do you live in Poland? If it's some backwater and you are from London there's your problem right there.

I'm from Nottingham, and lived in Katowice - two very similar towns, in terms of sport, beer, hills quite close by, friendly outgoing people, so I was basically sound:)

Working fine? WTF!

Dental care here is an absolute scandal:(( What the **** are ZUS and taxes for then? If not to contribute to state care for your kids? In the UK we have ZUS too, linked to earnings, and kids' teeth are free or at least subsidised until 18.

My daughter's teeth are absolute A1 - but I had to pay an arm and a leg for such - and it is absolute nonsensical bollocks - to enrich a group of people so they can live the high life? As in the US of A, where dentists earn a fortune?

You really are clueless Ironside on what sacrifices Polish families have to make to bring up their children, so stop acting as if you are in the know.

You don't live here and know fuxck all. Sorry, but it had to be repeated.

Seething.

UK, Ireland / How might Britain`s withdrawal from EU affect Poles there and here? [474]


Agree totally. And I don't think this is hyberbole. Xenophobia at it's worst.


So you think wrong then. Official statistics are in the range of 800,000 to 1,200,000. Next?
