Seselj never won on elections for president in Serbia and his Radical Party was never able to win and form government in Serbia.

But those TWO things are what you Poles do outside when gathering for your "folklore." Why else are you doing it?
Poles who do this are too mean to spend their money in the pub or restaurant, and instead think it's OK to act the peasant as I stated before. And it's not OK for nearby residents, and us respectable folk walking our dogs. I have a beer too, but keep it hidden, and keep the dog from barking and causing noise pollution - whilst these student types shout and carry on with their false merriment. We all like a laugh, but not at the expense of the local inhabitants.
Time for the Polish ASBO I believe.
And what if they only hang around, but are not drinking and polluting the environment

Yes. not bothering anybody else.
European Law says that loitering is a criminal offence. That refers to men, hanging around on wasteland, or in forest, drinking away, and polluting the environment.
Go back to your village and act the peasant life if you will - but if you do that on my lane in Gdynia I will call the Straz out - and they do come sharpish, surprisingly enough.

They tend to gather in groups outside their homes since that helps them form prospective groups of warriors.

Yes - nothing new there - but if you read the law on retaking the test, it applies to wilful disobedience, such as causing a serious accident by dangerous driving, or being well over the drink drive limit.
Neither of which we can hope would apply here.
And you can also be ordered to retake your test after your ban expires.

Anyway, if anybody should be banned permanently, then it's half the population of Katowice. I returned for the holiday and I had forgotten what plebs they are on the roads:(
So if you want to drive again in Poland, you need to unban yourself - which means doing a Polish driving test or whatever

So - in the event of no data from Adrian - we can safely assume that his posts are yet another racist diatribe against refugees - who are innocent victims of war and were fleeing a war zone and Turkish discrimination, and danger in Libya, to a better life.
Thanks for clearing that up. Now we can move on to sensible discussion, and bringing this Polish government to account.
Because the European Commission met, and agreed on a way forward. Poland has responsibilities as such. It's not complicated.

Yes, because Poland has no pub culture - so girls drink at friends' houses or are often escorted. It does not necessarily follow that Polish men are less likely to rape, and no way can you make a blanket statement - as you are so doing - that Polish rape statistics are down because there are few "nig-nogs" living in the country.
Poland and its' government consistently break European Community anti-discrimination laws with their public utterances and many Poles are ashamed of this - for this government does not speak for them.
Those are the Poles that I associate with. I was brought up to respect all peoples and animals, and that is my mantra. I understand that you have other principles. We are all different - it wouldn't pay for us to be the same if I can offer the tired old cliche.
But when a country with a long history has a government whose ministers use a tragedy like Brussels to spew racist bile, then I will protest , because it grotesquely lowers their standing in the world for my wife and daughter.
Poland has half of the amount of rapes per 100,000 than Germany and Austria

I don't agree InPolska. There are plenty of Americans in Warsaw, Krakow and other places. What about flight queues to the States? I would like to see the police at airports here brandishing their automatics, people trained in anti-terrorism, and not trigger happy soldiers, and sign of a real deterrent.
Muslims could attack Poland anytime they want, and yes, Poland, and anywhere in Europe is a potential target, as these cities are a 5 hour car journey for a terrorist. They used a taxi to get to the airport in Belgium, so there is nothing to stop them going on a road trip to Krakow airport for example...
So be careful out there folks but don't be paranoid. Some of us lived in London at the height of the IRA bombing campaign and it was life as usual.
In the meantime the terrorists win, because we have nationalist idiots spreading their bile and hatred saying that no muslims must be allowed to settle in Poland because they are potential terrorists.
Divide and destroy tactics work for all groups sadly.
The only European countries that could be attacked are: France,....the others can sleep tight.

Sensible comments I will respond to.
As stated above, the liberal coalition is above PIS in the polls, and when the nationalist clown Kaczynski scores an own goal that is a game changer (which is always a matter of time with that buffoon) we shall soon see the major swing away from totalitarianism.
And tell me - do you read Gazeta Wyborcza? At least I try to read - as opposed to 90 percent of Poles on the SKM. And do you know why most businessmen read Rzeczpospolita? It's not rocket science - it's because the corpus of language is smaller and easier to understand in the latter - but I guess you already knew that. So people read the newspaper that's right for them.
I read Dziennik Baltycki and feel no need to apologise to you for declining the snobbishness of language usage behind some newspapers' syntax ( Gazeta W being a prime example - though I agree with their editorial stance 100 per cent)
A car thief who drove over a police officer in Liverpool was jailed for 20 years today. The same article in today's Guardian reports how the same police officer would regularly be spat at and abused in the street.
Not to go all Daily Mail like - but it makes one ashamed to be British. Only scum would resort to clownish behaviour of that ilk.
We in Poland are lucky that generally (Krakow police excepted) the Polish authorities have learned their lesson from totalitarianism and are under strict orders to police sensibly, and the public respond accordingly.
I have never seen the police disrespected openly on the street when they are on patrol in Poland. Does this mean that Poland is now a haven of respectability and law and order - and there is no need to tolerate Ziobro and his Neo- conservative gang with their imagined dangers to "society's standards"?
