I am Polish and have to agree, people mourn him because he is the representative of the people and most certainly not for his achievements when president.


I think they have just as much rights as anybody else to express their opinions, if they live in, and contribute to the country to all intents and purposes they can consider themselves Poles if they want to.

What has my age anything to do with this argument? And no, i am not 18. And what do you mean by 'you know nothing about Poles in Great Britain after 1945.' Completely of topic and irrelevant.

It is the qualifications that matter, he is a citizen in both countries. Had his parents stayed in Poland he would probably not be alive right now.

I can name the whole cabinet, and their qualifications and i follow the media and papers avidly and i studied politics before, in short I would say yes i am.

You are right B B. if you actually take look at the composition of the gov, it stacks up quite well even against countries that do not fall into the Greek category. I find Poles in general love to dump on their gov, even though they usually know very little about it.
