History / What do Polish people think about Belorussians? [38]

On a personal level i feel sorry for the people of Belarus having to be in the hands of the last dictator of Europe, and i cannot wait for the day when democracy comes to your country. when this happens I am sure that Poland and Belarus will have fantastic business relations:)

I believe that there is a radio station in Poland, partly sponsored by the foreign office that broadcasts into Belarus, telling the people the true state of affairs in your country. This makes the Polish leadership decidedly unpopular with your president:)

LMAO.


Well you would be in favor of PO's proposed cut to the number of MP's

But if you think we are over governed, look at the UK.

If you are a Scotsman you would have: your local Councillor
your Scottish member of parliament
your Westminster member of parliament
and finally your EU member of parliament

What a right old mess, it seems that what use to be the eastern block has nothing on Scotland. The first sign of societal failure, you can see it in every 3rd world country and even the Roman Empire, is that the number of awards and public places multiply rapidly.

Yes I have just googled it, Sikorski does talk about that side of the story in his book: full circle.

This is what google says: After the Soviet takeover of the area, on March 17, 1945 the Red Army took the camp over and continued to operate it, this time the institution housed German prisoners of war.

A transit camp, run by the Ministry of Internal Security and commanded by Czesław Gęborski (later put on trial for crimes against humanity for his actions in the camp), was also created nearby, serving as an internment, labor and resettlement camp for German Silesians,[2] as a "verification" point for Silesians,[2] as well as a camp for former veterans of the Anders' Polish II Corps, whom the new communist authorities of Poland saw as dangerous. Out of 8000[3] internees, it is estimated that between 1000 and 1,500 German civilians died in the camp,[2][3][4] mostly by typhus and maltreatment[2] from camp officials.


My mistake, although i think that Kaczynski did borrow the term as well.

As for Jan Maria-Rokita, what a nut job!

Please explain, i have never heard of it before. OK, I think i have actually heard of the story before, I think Sikorski talks about that aspect of things in his book: Full circle.

If he did, he didn't go about the right way in getting it any closer.

Remember that idiotic slogan about the number of Polish MP's in the EU?

'.....something or death.'

That's what you hear in some of those Muslim countries, it should not come from a country like Poland. I know it might have sounded glib in Polish, but it just did not translate that well, to say the least. It also played into German prejudices-(unt ya ve told you so, these easterners zay are vat you call unt a bit barbaric ya) even though hello, you stared the bloody war so you are not fooling anyone:)

He reminds of a type of Harold Macmillan figure, languid and unflappable, I Like that in a politician. Without the remarkable war record of course.

He is conciliatory, he would like to see Poland engaged on the International scene, to borrow a phrase he would like to see Poland to be at the heart of Europe not on the edges.

Lk had a remarkable gift for offending many people, and he was a bit of an embarrassment on the international scene. He used the presidency in a partisan manner for partisan purposes, and the president is supposed to be a unifying figure, he was a divisive one.

Yes Komorowski is not Captain Charisma, but on a personal level that does not really bother me. He reminds of a type of Harold Macmillan figure, languid and unflappable, I Like that in a politician.

The man has some stature, he was involved in the anti communist movement when younger. He is reasonably articulate and he will not interfere with the government's program, and yes you obviously cannot discount the fact that he is from the same party as the PM, but that is OK.

As to what he has to do to get into Wawel, quite honestly I think that the role of President is so limited in scope, that even if he wanted to do something endearing he simply can't as the role does not allow it.

News / Komorowski for complex-ridden Poles? [94]


well some common sense for a start, lets face it doesn't take much to be an improvement on Kaczynski.

In practical terms nothing, but that is OK, because he is not running for PM but for President.

News / Komorowski for complex-ridden Poles? [94]


Sounds like like real group delusion.
I do not put any credibility into these figures. Who did they poll. A few older women in berets who split about 50/50 between Kaczynski and Jurkek.

Apologies to mod for the stick and paste job:)

News / Komorowski for complex-ridden Poles? [94]


I cannot agree with this sentiment, Poland needs a dry President who knows what his role is and does not interfere with the government of the day, by continually blocking its legislative program.

Komorowski is the man for the job, even Kwasniewski though from another party did not interfere as much with the Buzek gov as Kaczynski did with Tusk. Poland cannot afford another Kaczynski.

This dirty money goes into legal business, government business too.

Very interesting, but i think we should leave this were it belongs, in the realm of fantasy.
The things you describe could be quite plausible, but that is not from were Poland gets its major income.

I agree you are partly right, but for a country like Poland the opposite is the problem of too many public companies not too few. Banking regulation has undoubtedly been weak, but that does not apply to every sector of the economy. The guy responsible for the article is the finance minister of Poland by the way, and his is not a minority view.

News / Poland standing tall in troubled times [11]

well assuming that the worst is behind us the growth projections are positive to say the least. For 2010: 3.1% is the gov prediction which usually tends to under score the rate.

Taking that as trend you would be quite safe in assuming the following

2011: 4.00% that is on the Conservative side
2012: 5.00% again on the Conservative side

Poland's rate of growth for the previous 10 years has been 4.5%, If i had to make a prediction I think it is going to be 4.7% for this decade, my prediction is on the conservative side.


I agree that some should remain in government hands, though Poland has the opposite problem, of to many Public companies, so they are on the right track by selling them.

News / Komorowski for complex-ridden Poles? [94]


what absolute and unadulterated crap!!

If anything it is almost certainly the reverse, people with a complex would be more inclined to vote for Kaczynski. After all he probably has the greatest complex of them all!

I think you need a lesson in economics, the sale of state assets reduces corruption, pays down the debt and makes them more competitive. Instead of being controlled by people who cannot be Fu#ed to serve you properly because they have a job for life, you are actually served by people whose job depends on it.

News / Poland standing tall in troubled times [11]

The article is very poorly edited. Though Poland's deficit, which is one of the lowest in the EU, is heading southwards and economic growth seems to be strong, I am afraid that the recent flooding is going put a dent in the government's recent deficit reduction plan.

Some of Poland's major advantages are that it still controls a lot of the public utilities and other goods, which it is selling at the moment to pay down the deficit. More advanced economies have mostly sold their public goods some time ago. Another advantage is Poland's current status as a net recipient of EU funds, which helps to stimulate the economy.

Another advantage is the relatively low level of company tax which attracts investment. Poland's biggest future dilemma is not a lack of economic growth but in two years time the increase in inflation because of it. Paradoxically the current situation is allowing Poland to absorb EU funds, and maintain a reasonable level of growth whilst the finical crisis is holding the lid on inflation. In Two years time Poland should reach the 'goldy locks' situation whereby they will have high growth, low debt, relatively low inflation and Unemployment at some 8-9% and moving downwards.

By calling poles idiotic, open your eyes the guy has a track record of negativity, partly deriving from the fact that I humiliated him on the: Poland gets a little bit bigger thread. He usually resorts to lying when losing as demonstrated above.

And if he is not a Brit and has the courage to tell us what exactly he is, I am sure it would make it a lot easier provided it is not one of those small neutral type countries, like Holland and Sweden etc.
