Travel / Indian or Mexican food in Warsaw. [60]


I got ill too, after my last visit there, my guest also. A shame, because it used to be nice, and it was my friend's first experience of Indian food.

Travel / Indian or Mexican food in Warsaw. [60]


It used to be great until about three years ago, but then it really went down. The atmosphere's nice, but the food is tragic.

I agree. They used to be OK but the standards have really slipped. Last time I went there the food was dire. The 'Curry Club' seem to go there out of a combination of habit and location.


This one always used to be my preferred choice - some very good food. Maybe it's changed since I was last there. Lately I've been going to Arti instead.

Arti, on al. Jerozolimskie between pl. Zawiszy and pl. Starynkiewicza is good - authentic food, very nice service. The little pots that they serve food in can be irritating, but it tastes good. I also like the small branch of Namaste on Nowogrodzka, the fact that it's hard to get a table can only be a good sign.

Buddha Bar on Nowy Swiat looks interesting - has anyone been there?

For Mexican, there aren't many choices. The Tortilla Factory is good (though they sometimes have very loud music). There's a nice place on al. Ujazdowskie, but expensive and very variable.

Real Estate / Cost of a two-bedroom apartment and living in Wroclaw? (For purchase) [11]

Depends a lot on the area and state of the flat, but for 80sqm in my area, very close to the centre for a flat in reasonable condition it would probably be about 2700 to 3000 plus bills.

More in the very centre, less somewhere like Wawer or Ursus which involve travelling. More if the building and decor were in first-class condition with parking and security, less for a very long term let.

Most of them, yes.

hmmm


Who?


Some of us have had many years of living life to the full - and too much in our lives to obsess about people of different colours.


You seem to know his name which is more than most. What do you think of Mark Collett, an ex-neighbour of mine? Or Martin Webster, Nick Griffin's ex-lover? Interesting people.



Says it all really. Come on, admit it, you want them to do well.


You didn't have a vote in the last election? Why not? The usual reasons are being under 18, in jail or insane.


Why do you think only 0.1% have come direct to the UK? Some sources please, not just racist hearsay.

And you didn't answer the question, relating to this thread (and forum). What is the BNP's policy on Polish migrants to the UK?

UK, Ireland / Brits to protest against foreigners in the workforce, including Poles. [289]


You really should put your 'brain' in gear before engaging your mouth. People seeking asylum are not allowed by law to work, even as voulnteers.

That's not bad compared with Warsaw.

USA, Canada / Most common ancestries in the USA [56]

Me too, especially in New England, and Scots in the MidWest. That map shows only the first place - perhaps they were in second place in a lot of states.

USA, Canada / Most common ancestries in the USA [56]


State of (for example) North Mexiginia, 10 million inhabitants, 1 million (for example) Poles, 10%. State of Nevifornia, 2 million inhabitants, 1 million Poles, 50%.

USA, Canada / Most common ancestries in the USA [56]

Is that most common ancestries by number or by percentage?

There seems a lot of blue, but somewhere like North Dakota looks huge on the map and somewhere like New Jersey looks small, but the populations are very different.

Can you back that up? And how would you know about "most of them"? Interesting...


Who's irate? I think it was you who mention them most of the time. By the way, what's their policy on Polish migrant workers?


I was "reffering" to Gordon Brown, but since you mention it, the nail bomber was a BNP member.


Wait until election day. By the way, if you won the lottery, what would you spend it on?


Have you been in one? I have.


There you go again, about the BNP. You seem to know a lot about them - first you say you would have "absolutely no qualms" about voting for them, now you seem to know about their membership figures. Have you had any contact with them?


Do you think we've never had "virtual ghettos" or "no go areas" before?


"Forced" in what way?

UK, Ireland / Brits to protest against foreigners in the workforce, including Poles. [289]


I've got a feeling that when it comes to the crunch they'll choose UKIP or English Democrats. Even old left-wingers are unhappy. The level of immigration is a shock, but since the world is changing very fast, too fast for a lot of people, my feeling is that we should get it over with now.


This has always been the case - areas come and go. Manchester has really improved since I was there. Mind you that was twenty years ago.


I know what you mean. I worked for years in Bradford, in an almost entirely Pakistani district. It was a bit of a culture shock, but those areas weren't half as scary as some of the poorer white districts. There was a Caribbean area (Chapeltown in Leeds) that I used to have to spend time in -an established counity and a lot of gun crime. That area still has its moments but is slowly improving.


Chorlton's nice! I lived in a 'white-flight' area (not as nice as Chorlton) and was burgled several times - almost certainly by locals. After moving to a more mixed area (lots of Poles there these days) I had no problems. The difference was that (as in Manchester) huge resources had been expended on integration.

You'd be surprised how comfortably some people live in African and Asian countries. The most primitive and desperate don't get a chance to travel as far as their own capital, let alone Britain. Those who do are generally people with some nouse and resources.

People who claim asylum do so on political grounds - they are often their countries' intellectual elite. Most of the men are educated - probably better so than you...


You speak to some interesting people. Where did you meet them?

Interesting how you've tried to divert a discussion about foreign (including Polish) workers in the UK to the only topic you discuss here - your dislike for dark-skinned people.

If you really support a backlash against immigrants, then as an immigrant yourself, you should be very, very careful.

How would you know what conditions somebody lived in in their "own country"? Unless you assume all non-Europeans live in mud huts like your ancestors.


An ill, disabled, redundant person should pay for everything? Are you planning on growing old, or have you swallowed the elixir of youth?


They aren't growing. A few mid-term votes in depressed areas. Hardly "cabbage".


Yes. It is successful.

UK, Ireland / Brits to protest against foreigners in the workforce, including Poles. [289]


You fancy living in one then?


The whole point is that the person is irrelevant, the need is everything. Don't you understand that.


Whereas you are cynically racist. What part of society don't you understand?

UK, Ireland / Brits to protest against foreigners in the workforce, including Poles. [289]


Most are in nasty hostels.


Everybody pays tax and is entitled to something back. Are you saying that no white people are benefit scroungers?


It's part of commonweal, to maintain society. British society is multi-ethnic, and successfully so, compared to so many other places.

UK, Ireland / Brits to protest against foreigners in the workforce, including Poles. [289]


Actually they want to do exactly that.

But they won't have any impact on immigration or anything else because they will do so badly in the next election that they will lose their deposit in every seat.

You reveal your own hatred here.

Fortunately most British people are not so obsessed with foreign people, workers or not.

I had one done there - no problems, but it was a Polish phone. Should be OK, the phones are the same inside.

Any of those small private phone shops (there must be a dozen in Dworzec Centralny) will take off the simlock for about 15zl.

Undoubtedly. Though not by nailbombs in the pub. Unless Gordon's got a secret hobby.

Depends a lot on the person. On some it calms and steadies. On others it dulls reactions. And on daily large scale stoners, it can have a very nasty effect.


Me too. Twitching down the motorway.

Cynical and bitter. For sure something bad must have happened to you.


Nobody gets free houses. The poorest, regardless of ethnicity can get housing benefit on the basis of need.
Free lawyers? Are you mad? Check out what happened to the legal aid scheme - it is means tested.
Welfare? This isn't free.


Can you cite some evidence for that?


It's you who mentioned "freebies". So tell us some real ones.


Claiming too much expenses for kitchen units, duck ponds, whisky etc. on the one hand and child molesting, racial attacks, bomb making etc. on the other. A wee bit different. What we've got now isn't perfect, but they are angels compared to some of the Numpty Nazis in the BNP.

UK, Ireland / Brits to protest against foreigners in the workforce, including Poles. [289]

You are staggeringly cynical and bitter.

Aren't they too a part of society?

So what about a response to these questions:


What do you mean by "freebies"? Do tell.

And what about tax revenue earned from immigrants? Or "freebies" given to native Brits?

They won't get even within a sniff of power, but if by some collective slip of the pen on illions of ballot papers, there'd probably be riots and mass civil disobedience. Fascism can only work by force, and they don't have that.

There'd also be a flood of capital out of the country and economic instability.

Their policies on Ireland (bringing it back into the UK) would gain them a few enemies too.
