History / The Polish Blame Culture! [330]

Well I am a Pole, and I care, so you see you are not alone. And yes there is hardship, but than there is also hardship. Did the UK lose a 1/5 of its population during the war? Were its best and brightest liquidated? Was an alien regime imposed on them? What you don't understand is that the war ended in 1989 for the Poles not 1945.

History / The Polish Blame Culture! [330]

The Irish were the ones who got fired, but their mate had more talent though...lol

A lot more than the Irish who were content to let Hitler do his best, and Sinn Fein were actual Hitler supporters!

History / The Polish Blame Culture! [330]

It is something you will never understand so don't even try!

Let me give you an example, if you get fired from work for no particular reason-and all the consequences that go along with that, and the mate next to you who you know had no special advantage over you keeps his or her job (and this was like your dream job by the way) would you moan and complain and be a little bitter? I suspect yes, until you find another job. Well Poland hasn't found another job yet, but it is getting there.

60 years

Is a very short time in world history, only two generations ago.

Take the Irish for instance, do they still moan about the past? Are they still bitter? Yes and Yes after all look at N.I. Even though comparatively, arguably they suffered a lot less.

History / Poles in the Napoleonic era [224]

Napoleon didnt order the charge, it was against his express orders actually.

Well it happened anyway

Which is why he lost 8000 more men than the attacker?

Better artillery placements, so simply luck of the draw or terrain to be precise.

Because you say so?:)

yes, along with the vast majority of historians, for the reason mentioned.

Actually the "stupid russian venture" had every chance of succeeding and did not mostly due to bad luck and Napoleons illness that severely impaired his judgement.

Again I don't believe that is the conventional view amongst historians

UK, Ireland / Let's discuss Polish and British, only constructive (though we will digress) [60]

Can you back that up with proof, because all the Brits I know that went to Aus did so to go to jobs equal or better than they had here i.e. all professionals - not to clean toilets or cleaning houses.

You are looking at it! These aren't my words they are from the article I posted.

Borysiewicz, a Welsh-Polish doctor by training,

Again not my words read the article! (So he's British then?) How on earth would you know what he consider himself to be? (What it does show, is that earlier generations integrated and did well) Indeed and that is precisely the purpose of my post, so stop nitpicking!

Anyway, another salient point is that we both excel in science. Information sharing and working for the collective benefit of mankind is a noble pursuit when discussing this area. Let life not be a competition but a collaborative project.

Here is a perfect example Seanus

guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/apr/22/obituary-olgierd-zienkiewicz

The eminent Anglo-Polish civil engineer Olgierd "Olek" Zienkiewicz, who has died aged 87, devoted his distinguished career to using a computer-based method for the design and analysis of engineered systems, such as dams, automobiles, aircraft, medical and electronic devices. The "finite element method" (FEM) of computer-aided engineering breaks down complex and apparently insoluble problems into pieces for which equations can be used to arrive at approximate solutions. Those local solutions can then be combined to arrive at global approximate solutions.

Olek was born in Caterham, Surrey, the son of a Polish father and an English mother. When he was two, the family moved to Poland, where they remained, mostly in Katowice, until the beginning of the second world war. It was in Poland that Olek received his early education, with an emphasis on the sciences and mathematics. In 1939 he was in Warsaw preparing for admission to university when the war began. He participated in the early defence of Warsaw, but returned to Katowice when the family received visas to travel through Italy into France. Eventually they joined a Polish ship sailing to Plymouth. The family settled in London, where Olek was provided with scholarships for his university studies at Imperial College.

News / Michał Kamiński - referred to not by name on the UK Leaders Debate but ... [47]

Yes, it is a bit hard to believe today.

compulsory schooling, a ban on child labour, health and safety at work regulations, a national minimum wage, sickness benefits, free healthcare, the right to divorce, equal pay for women and . The other party fought against and tried to stop all of those.

Schooling was first introduced under Salisbury! (a ban on child labour) by a Conservative! Lord Ashley Cooper.
From 1833 he led the factory reform movement in Parliament and effected passage of the Mines Act (1842) and the Ten Hours Act (1847), known as Lord Ashley's Act, which shortened the working day in textile mills.

sickness benefits: introduced by the Liberals and not Labour.

open access to university education: again none of Labour's doing

right to divorce: look what a load of good that has done to the UK, the highest number of broken homes in Europe.

You really should know better than to spout socialist rubbish. The only thing Labour knows is spending other people's money!

keep in mind off topic posts will be removed

If you read my post you will see I included the three parties, please answer my question what is your interest when you are living in Australia.

I use to think of the UK as beacon of hope, sadly my perceptions are changing and i don't wont that to happen.

And than there is my thesis.

African mammals?

That is also one of my interests. There is no better continent on earth for mamals, apart from the natives who are hell bent on poaching them out.

it's only natural: after a period of Labour governments, ppl want Tories. After a period of Torie governments, the ppl want Labour. It has always been like that and it will never change.

Yes, but every time when Labour exits, the economy is worse than when they first came in!

M-G (I would suggest simply deny the fact that a Labour party exists)

I can't. On a more serious note my thesis is entitled: Labour demise and Conservative endurance, the Tories were 20% up when i thought of the title, i need them to lose so badly!

like Rothschild, Ashcroft, and so many more.

You do realize that Labour gets more out of None Doms than the Conservatives, As a proportion of what both the parties receive as a whole!

Have you ever considered professional help?

Friend, the best help I can get is an absolute kicking for Labour on May 6th. If that happens I will be a very happy man.

So if you can vote or know those who can, please pass on the message and you will be contributing to my treatment.

Their insane economic, foreign and immigration policies will destroy the UK.

So why do you want them to win?

Much as I hate the Tories and hope they lose

Why the fock would you want them to lose! the government is beyond contempt, see my previous posts about Labour. The name Labour cultivates my hatred, it gives me a reason to live, can't you see how absolutely base they are! Every morning i wake up, i think to myself thank God, today is another day i can hate Labour.

UK, Ireland / Let's discuss Polish and British, only constructive (though we will digress) [60]

Yes but that wasn't my point. My point was perception and Brits will almost always see themselves as superior.

I am sure there is plenty of room for cooperation. Here is a good example.

Cambridge appoints top doctor as new vice-chancellor
Leszek Borysiewicz, who was instrumental in developing the cervical cancer vaccine, will take over in the autumn

Leszek Borysiewicz, Cambridge university's new vice-chancellor

Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, one of the country's most respected medical researchers, was today nominated as the 345th vice-chancellor of the University of Cambridge.

He will succeed Alison Richard, the current vice-chancellor, when her seven-year term comes to an end next autumn.

Borysiewicz, a Welsh-Polish doctor by training, was instrumental in the development of the HPV vaccine, which is now offered to all girls to reduce the risk of cervical cancer. He is head of the Medical Research Council, the main funding body for medical academia in the UK.

same thought as Ortega y Gasset's

Interesting, i think i will take a closer look.

always see themselves as superior.

They use to be, until they developed a fetish for a party that couldn't elevate the ordinary, so it decided to pull down the 'extraordinary'. Good old social engineering, what Stalin did not manage to do to the Poles, Labour has managed in Britain!

What about all the scumbags here then??

They must be exporting them, if you actually have seen them around.

The problem is that many Brits see Poles are inferior

In replying to a previous poster.

Which is almost beyond irony or parady considering:

The million or so Poles who have come here in the past five years definitely came to work. They are three times more likely to be law-abiding than the average British resident, and the 134 Polish Catholic churches are packed. The most dreaded words for a Polish priest are not "mortal sin", but "fire regulations".

True, many Poles now go to school here, are treated by the NHS and some receive child benefit, but only three per cent are eligible for other subsidies. There is an extra burden on local health and education authorities and police associations: many of these social costs however are covered by their £1.9 billion a year contribution to the Exchequer in income tax and national insurance, and that figure does not include their contribution to council tax.

telegraph.co.uk/comment/3556852/Why-Britain-needs-Polish-migrants.html

Hopefully this will satisfy you, so in summary they are more law abiding than the natives, harder working than the natives, do not claim as much benefit as the natives and according to this more intelligent than the natives, those with the thick accents anyhow. SO ALL YOU TEACHERS OUT THERE TAKE NOTE!

and this: telegraph.co.uk/education/6062088/A-level-results-Polish-student-beats-language-barrier-to-win-uni-place-to-study-English.html

And lets not forget whose economy is on the up, and whose economy is going down the tube. I use to think that all this stuff by Gibbon about the Delcine and Fall was hard to believe, but looking at Britain, there is no better example!

No chance, though i love the idea, though who knows maybe Millaband?

So here is the appeal to all interested living in Cambridge or near by, do everyone a service by pieing Zeichner, and than proceeding to read his comment back at him, you will liven up the election i assure you.

So he made one party out of two, just a mental shortcut of a kind, play for the ignorant public, that's quite normal for a politician. Both of the mentioned parties are in alliance with the British Conservatives, at least here he's right.

It is a carelessness born out of contempt, there is no way he would have made that comment about the US Republicans for instance, even if true!

I urge everyone to join the Daniel Zeichner should apologize facebook page. I would also advise if you feel like it, to contact him personally, he has his own website, Google his name. I have tried contacting him, but unfortunately he shields himself with his elderly mother

whenever i ring his office.

Any Poles ever get a chance to pie him in public, do so, then quote him so he gets a lesson.

JOIN THE FACEBOOK PAGE I RECOMMENDED OR CONTACT HIM PERSONALLY, SEE ABOVE. SPREAD THE MESSAGE, MAYBE YOU MIGHT KNOW SOMEBODY WHO LIVES IN HIS CONSTITUENCY, SEE IF THEY CAN HARASS HIM, THIS IS RIGHTEOUS ANGER, HE SHOULD NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS!

Not only that, but his mixing of countries. He took the supposed actions of a Latvian party and attributed them to a Polish political party. If i were a candidate, that publicly said that the Labour party are a bunch of child abusers, I wonder what would the reaction be like.

As to the actual words he said:
How on Earth does it help anyone… David Cameron, to join together in the European Union with a bunch of nutters, anti-Semites , people who deny climate change exists, homophobes

Did you read the comments made by the Labour candidate in the Cambridge Union debate I've posted above, (its on video you can listen to him saying it)? Complete lies, I wonder if he did that out of ignorance or maliciousness.

So just in case anybody who comes across this post don't vote for Daniel Zeichner, he is a Liar and a racist!

David Miliband, who remarkably got overpromoted to be the Foreign Secretary, has previously said how "physically sickened" he was by current Polish anti-semitism.

Disgusting hypocrites, only a few days ago he was eulogizing what a great man the president was, whilst making such scandalous accusations against his party, BUT WAIT THAT IS NOT EVEN THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL. Read THIS!

conservativehome.com//leftwatch/2010/03/labour-candidate-gives-nazi-salute-as-he-lazily-smears-tory-allies-in-europe.html

Absolutely unbelievable, how can this Labour lowlife get away with this? why isn't he done for defamation! i wish somebody would make a big issue out of this preferably somebody who lives in the constituency, disrupt his every meeting and confront him with his lie! If i lived in the country i would be relentless hounding him right up to polling day, I've tried contacting his office but the scum is ignoring me, he uses his mother as a secretary.

This is a warning to everyone, if you are Polish do not vote Labour, they have a track record of baiting Poles. If you look at their history they instigated the unionists to prevent military supplies being shipped to Poland during the Bolshevik war. They prevented the Poles from marching during the Victory Day, never vote Labour!

History / Poles in the Napoleonic era [224]

Which is why he was losing at Waterloo and was only saved by Prussian intervention:)

He was competent but when directly facing Napoleon he was markedly inferior, by the time the prussian 1st core arrived Wellingtons army was completely incapable of anything but defence.

He had a smaller army that is why, he managed to destroy Napoleon's cavalry simply by moving his troops back over a hill, that is how competent Napoleon was.

He was a lot more careful with the lives of his soldiers, and yes it is a given that he was a better strategist, he would have never undertaken the Stupid Russian venture.

That is because the Poles were changing from a conscript to a professional army, and instead of spending it on useless additional foot soldiers, it can now be directed on better equipment. honestly you should try to think before you wright!
