UK, Ireland / Are polish girls in the UK cheap (to hire?) [35]

His cheap girls were not attractive and that's probably why they were hanging out with him rather than earning

Why would a pimp have rough looking birds hanging about him..not exactly a good avertisement...Having said that I know nothing about prostitutes (well, I know we have named the ones behind Strangeways prison after the Spice Girls! and one we call Calamity Jane! -I get a lift home some nights off a friend I dont go roaming the streets - thought I'd point that out!)

At this point I feel I can bring this in to the topic - I had a conversation (not initiatated by me I may add!) wherethe a taxi driver told me that our (English) prostitutes were upping their game since Eastern European girls started working the streets, it actually made laugh..I imagined British prozzies complaining that Polish were stealing punters! :D :D

Life / I'm from Polish descent. CAN YOU GUYS EXPLAIN THE EU TO ME? [115]

how does it make any sense whatsoever for farmers to be paid to keep fields fallow?

It doesnt and believe it or not farmers would rather be farming!

Poland should be Polish (I have been to Poland). Not a mess like the UK or France.

Said the Pole living in Canada!

British ones are just cheap in every sense of the word.

And some British men are lacking in class and make sweeping generalisations...

Life / I'm from Polish descent. CAN YOU GUYS EXPLAIN THE EU TO ME? [115]

Another option would be that the countries who pay the most should call the shots; which in this case would be Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands.

Sweden: 0.50 per cent of GNP,
Germany: 0.47 per cent of GNP,
Netherlands: 0.44 per cent of GNP,
Luxembourg: 0.35 per cent of GNP,
Austria: 0.27 per cent of GNP,
United Kingdom: 0.25 per cent of GNP.

I think it's wrong to merely look at the size of population as far as votes are concerned.

I didnt say anything about population.

There is considerable pressure on the UK to adopt the Euro and the British government understands that it would be very advantageous for the UK to adopt it as it would strengthen their economic position.

It wont happen, the vast majority are against, in fact there are a growing number who would rather not be a part of the EU full stop, the EU can pressure all they like, we are not beholden to them, Britain, unlike all of the new members are under no obligation whatsoever to have the Euro, most of the new members are not in a postion to have it either, look at the Czech Rep, they are looking at 2019 now as they dont want to be rushed into it, they want to be strong enough economically, rather than end up like Greece.

So I don't really know what the benefit was apart from increasing the debt and bringing sh1t into the country.

Id say thats mostly the opinion of your average Brit.

Anyway I see that before joining the EU Greece had a better economy than Spain and much better than Portugal and now we are behind

Maybe too much "creative" accounting? Spain are not far behind you, cost of living is spiraling and unemployment is the highest in Europe, I'd say the tourist industry will dwindle in both Spain and Greece, it's just not as attractive as it was and let's both be honest, this is an industry that is relied upon heavily in large proportions of both countries.

Life / I'm from Polish descent. CAN YOU GUYS EXPLAIN THE EU TO ME? [115]

1. Borders = Gone

Wrong - Britain still has its boarders - we are not in the Schengen zone but we are in the EU.

4. Currency = Euro

Wrong again - Britain are under no obligation whatsoever to take the Euro, other countries that joined (A8 or now A10 or is it A12) are obligated to take it whether they like it or not this was an understanding of their being allowed to join the EU.

I read about Poland standing up to the EU because the country feels like it is being short changed by the bigger power

Hardly short changed, check how much Poland contribute financially and then look how much they benefit financially. Look at the freedom of movement (regarding work) they have gained, which has massively benefited them.

Poland IS an EU member state and thus is able to reform it from inside.

The EU will bully until they get the right answer - Poland (no offence intended here) are insignificant in the scheme of things and hold no cards whatsoever.

Not by itself of course but strong coalitions of small states have brought changes in the past and will so again.

What changes? (are you really talking about the EU here?)

Polish farmers are upset because now they have to compete with other European farmers and some countries subsidize farming more than others.

This has happened all over the UK, only larger farms have gone to the wall, due to cheap imports which local farmers can not compete with, also some farmers get paid more for keeping feilds empty rather than "farming" them. Then we have our dairy farmers who have been shat on from a great hight!

News / Changing Face in Poland: Skinnhead Puts on a Skullcap [90]

I despise especially the slow killing of living animals for their religious reasons

They have to be stuned under law in the UK, so no slow death.

They still prefer their dark age traditions....

How many orthodox Jews do you actually know personally?

(in Israel),

Im talking about the ones that live in the UK, what they do in their own country is up to them.

or that the men are busy in tora schools whereas their women have to do all the works, or that women haven't the same rights as men at all (sounds familiar?).

You cant even compare them to muslims...not even in the same ball park. They're not as much in the dark ages as you might like to think. The article is quite old so Im sure things have moved on even more...

The growing awareness of the status of women has been manifested in the increasing presence of women in managerial and decision-making positions. The last few years have seen record numbers of women in these positions: the current Knesset has the largest number of women Knesset Members -16 out of 120 members; Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's government also includes a record number of women ministers - the minister of Education, the Minister of Industry and Trade and the Minister responsible for Regional Development. In addition, two women are deputy ministers: in the Ministry of National Infrastructure and in the Ministry of Defense. Since the establishment of the State, one woman (Golda Meir) has served as Prime-Minster. In the 1998 local elections, two women were elected as mayors (of the cities of Netanya and Herzliya), and the number of female council members rose from 153 in 1993, to 240. Three women now serve as justices of the Supreme Court and 36 are judges of District Courts; women constitute 34% percent of the total number of judges. The State Attorney is also a woman.

Well, the orthodox Jews can (as all fanatics) be quite a nasty bunch too...

Come on Braty, I live very close to Orthodox Jews, they are not fanatics, they are lovely family orientated people, or at least the ones I know personally and thats quite a few.

ultra-orthodox Jews

There's the difference...there are not many "ultra" orthodox Jews where I live - the majority are in Israel...

UK, Ireland / Marrying Polish Woman in UK/London [100]

It is an old article, but it gives an altogether different dimension to the general flow of thought here on this forum.

Its a old article - things have changed a lot in the past 5 years and certainly not in favour of the immigrat.

Point 1. You are not on the correct visa, you will not be able to marry her if you are not on a spousal visa.

Point 2. You will not be issued with a spousal visa because she doesnt even reside in the UK.

Point 3. Because neither of you are British, you will have to seek approval to marry from the Home Office.

Point 4. The Home Office do not have to grant their approval.

Point 5. Had 1,000s of 3rd world immigrants not entered in to sham marriages in order to gain a secure status in the UK, people like myself wouldnt get slightly peeved when someone comes on a forum asking about benefits of marrying a EU national.

OK, I concede! cos of a lack of knowledge of a better word, I used the word 'benefits'!!

Your English looks fine to me and the context in which you used the word "benefit" fitted exactly what you meant.

I note you are still harping on about your "status" after you marry.

Why come to a forum when there are official sites that give you the correct information.

Her alternate account is "ShelleyS".

My first account was Shelley...There you go, everyone can feel free to check out my post history :D (glad at least you acknowledged Im not an "It" ;0) )

If you are bored, go and do something constructive, possibly look at the statistics for the sham marriages in the UK, look at the stats for deporations and look at the nationals that are being deported, or you go wilde and turn off your computer.

You Sir, are a moron, you contradict yourself at every turn - I however prefer to be consistent, just to be clear I dont actually hate anyone, I do however, dislike 3rd world immigrants marrying girls in order for them to gain a more secure status in my country. Im not really in a position to improve anything, but thankfully the government are doing that with the new immigration policies that are being passed, this is however a result of public opinion.

Hey it would be 'easier' for me to live in a villa on the Mediterranean. Someone should start an advocacy group and protest for me so I can have what I want. Right?

Make mine a penthouse apartment in Prauge while your at it :D

Im also not sure why Nika thinks it will be so easy for his g/f to get a job in the UK..People are losing their jobs left right and centre at the moment...So leaving a good job in a bank in your home country would be bloody madness!

Show me where I have said I dont want Poles in the UK?

He is legal in the UK: "I am authoriszd to work here in the UK & legally allowed to work/stay until 2012".

He is on a visa, in 2 years time it will be bye bye London, hello Mubia..if he marries her and moves her to the UK, it ensures he can stay.

I guess you missed the bit about her living in Poland. He'll only be able to live in the same country as her.

You must have missed the bit where he has stated he wants her to move to the UK. The fact she has a decent job in a bank, he is totally ignorning - his intentions are selfish and is main reasons for marrying this girl are so he can stay in the UK..He only has 2 years left on his visa, so his intentions are to secure a foothold in this country.

He is clearly benefiting from the marriage as it will give him residence rights he can't get otherwise so easily or at all.

Bingo, hence his comments about "what benefits will marriage bring me" call me old fashioned but the first benefit that comes to mind for me is spending the rest of my life with one person, not will I get residency in another country! Im not going to be flowery about this subject, its a problem in the UK sham marriages are rife and the numbe of poor girls being taken in by these people is shocking.

something like Amethyst degrades itself and others by CONSTANTLY spouting racist, bigoted, stupid, unintelligible **** in almost every thread she posts in. I see no reason why it should be here, as all it seems to do is defile every thread possible, with constructive or intelligent input ranging in the minimal-zero range.

Yawn! It (Im a she by the way) has been here for nearly 4 years....If you dont like my posts, dont read them, its really that simple.

or even British women

Not much chance of that since no British woman in her right mind would marry an Indian guy (unless she's Brit born Indian) - its common knowledge that people like you only do it for the papers.

I guess, I will just take my gf to India

Can you both stay there too?

Amathyst--Don't know what experieces you had to hold so much anger in you, it is a pity, but definitely, I ignored all your posts after your first comment

Im a laid back person, but I dont particularly take to kindly to some Indian asking "what benefits are there to marrying someone with an EU passport" If thats your first thought then you are marrying for the wrong reasons. You have 2 years left on your visa, enjoy your time in London and then leave.

Of course you realise that no poster in this thread is actually Polish living in Poland?

He doesnt intend to live in Poland so its not a concern of yours - he intends to marry a Polish girl, get her to move to London and remain here...Therefore its our problem that another 3rd world immigrant gets to stay here because of another foreigner...

And hungarians too!

I beg to differ, a group of them get on my bus of a morning...all blood hounds and on Friday I had two sat in front of me, they look like dirty chavs (over weight) and were rough as rough could be, Ive also been to Hungary, didnt notice the abundance of beautiful women.

Been to Croatia and (in a none lesbian way) I can honestly say 99% of the females were stunning...

Regarding Russian women, have you ever seen an attractive one over the age of 50?

UK, Ireland / Time for the Poles from the UK to go home [437]

Amathyst please stop acting like you English women don't mix, because it's not true. I'm sure there is much more English married to Indians, Pakis etc than Polish.

I dont see that many English women with Indians, I see plenty of Polish girls with them.

Congratulations for your "I pay 1£ for my beer, so have the right to pis* up your churches and show my naked a** in Rynek, where you people go for a walk with you children and grand-parents" thinking.
Doesn't surprise me coming from a Western European though...you ppl don't respect anything, except for money.

You people :D love it, priceless...I said I dont care about the behaviour of these idiots, why should I? I dont behave like that. As for the whole money thing, what, if not for money are Poles doing in the UK? We also respect plenty of things, honesty being one of them.

I just tell them not to judge that the UK is anything like a tolerant or accepting society because it never was.

You're right its not, but if you compare it to Poland, it's a utopia for foreigners - your Polish students are less likely to be targeted in the UK than some African is in Poland.

Ive also heard that knife crime is quite high in Poland, but that might have been an exaggeration on a friends part (he's Polish).

Love / English girl moving to Poland with my Polish boyfriend for the first time [69]

The way the UK is going, what exactly would I be leaving behind?

That depends on what you have going for you at the moment - would you leave a good job with fantastic career prospects to go to a country which cant offer the same? Poles have more opportunties here than a Brit would have in Poland.

The way UK is going? Dont write it off just yet, its still attractive for a lot of other people and the out-flow is significantly lower than the in-flow.

Write down the pros and cons and make sure that your b/f is going to be supportive if you do make the move.

I think Poles should definitely leave the UK and thus make more room for the eager welfare recipients from muslim countries. Then everything in England will be peachy. OK, perhaps not everything will be peachy but at least all those hissing sounds of the Polish language will be replaced with the soothing voices of muezzins' call to prayer.

England isnt the destination now, most of the fake colleges have been closed and tighter immigration rules, the flood gates have been closed to them :0) I reckon Poland will be the new destination and Polish women seem to like a touch of the tar brush :D

Then why dont we hear Czechs crying about it all the time?

The present situation in Europe is a result of Yalta agrements,

boo hoo :0( So the inadequacies of your government in present day isnt to blame?

would like to agree with you about the points you make correctly but it's very difficult to warm to someone who is coming from a clearly defined point of "anti".

Im not anti Polish, Ive already stated that - I'm just not going to lie and say that most Brits welcome Poles in the UK, because they dont, immigration is a touchy subject, one most Brits are pretty hot on.

As for your nationality, then if your mum is English then yes you're half Polish, half English, however, being born and raised by 2 foreign parents in Yorkshire does not make you English, it makes you British.

I am as much English as I am Polish.

If neither of your parents are English then you cant be English, you can be British (there's a slight difference)

PS I have temporarily helped the UK situation since I *could* have sat on my arse complaining when I was made redundant, claiming dole. Sometimes with the nature of work here it is a period of famine when I would be MASSIVELY better off on the dole at home. Guess what? I'd rather paddle my own canoe than sit ******** in a country being sold down the river and sold abroad

Thats commendable - but your reasons for moving to Poland were not soley based on money. Also most Brits dont want to sit at home on their ass, regardless of what the press says - the underclass as not the majority, the are a minority.

As for Polish opinion about drunken idiots in Krakow, Im not too concerend...Im sure the money they spend sooths the pain slightly.

Polish is not a race.

But people pull the racist card as soon as someone says something negative, its pathetic. Im English, when someone says something negative about the English I dont feel the need to pull the Anglophobe card or a racist card...

UK, Ireland / Time for the Poles from the UK to go home [437]

seems immigration is a major issue in the UK. Although as I am not a resident of the UK, I could be entirely wrong. Am I?

You're not wrong and reglardless of what some people on this forum might say, Poles are included in the groups of immigrants that the English would like to see the back of. Everyone on here knows Im not anti Polish but Im not going to lie about what the majority of English people think.

It's jealousy.

I dont think it is, I think its just the sheer numbers that are here..There was never any anti Polish feeling after the Poles settled here in the 40s and 50s, there was never any bad feeling towards the Italians and they came in rather large numbers a couple of 100 years ago...The Island isnt that big and with every wave of immigrants it gets smaller.

What we can see now is when people not educated enough, without money and with very narrow minded mindsets, without seeing a whole picture, half blind, rule the country.

Wrong, how about the builders that have been under-cut to a point where they can no longer earn a living..Its not being half bind, quite the oposite, they have their eyes wide open, its hard to have your eyes shut when your house is being repossessed.
