UK, Ireland / How might Britain`s withdrawal from EU affect Poles there and here? [474]


hahah, true...well, excpet the ones working in Brussels on nice money......looking at you Tusk ;)


You know, I used to feel exactly the same and I kinda changed it by changin my attitude. I used to try to communicate in Polish totally, now when I enter a place I'll say in Poland 'very sorry, my Polish is very bad, I just moved here a few months ago. I'm from Ireland. Can you help me with XYZ'

Since I've started doing that I've not once had a bad experience.
Atch, you need to play the green card more often, once they know you're not English or German you're in ;)

But saying that, it's only with older poeple, younger people I think are really lovely here.....except the football hooligans, but even then, if you can get one on one with a hooligan you can talk about football and it's fine y'know


Yea, that's true indeed. Racism and homophobia is still rife, I can only hope it improves. Like, remember growing up in 1980s Ireland, I could never have imagined that gay marriage would be legal now y'know.

Maybe I'm stupid, but I'm actually optimistic about Poland's young people. It's the old people and the politicians that need to be shipped off.

UK, Ireland / How might Britain`s withdrawal from EU affect Poles there and here? [474]


No, I would disagree strongly with you here.
OK, I can't really disagree with an opinion, but you get me.

Poland has gained so much under the EU and in recent polls the satisfaction rate is still very healthy.


I understand that point of view, but I don't see it with people who are around 35 and under. The auld fogies always look at the past with rose-tinted specs, but even they know that Poland's success has been in large part thanks to the EU, not really thanks to the various dopey governments that have been in power since 1989

Life / Poland after one year of living here [105]


That's a lovely story.

I feel for ya Luke, I can't imagine how lonely it could be in a sh!thole like Chrzanow, any time you're in Katowice gimme a shout, there's a wee gang of us from Ireland & the UK and we usually meet up most weekends for a couple of gargles.

There's a bus that goes to Kato from Chrzanow, but going back the last one is 21:10 or 21:40 depending on the day, which is pretty pointless coz really you'd only be going to the pub at that time polbus.com.pl

You gotta move buddy, either get closer to Krakow or Kato, living in the sticks will drive ya mad

OK, let's have a look at IBRIS and the RP article

No figures given on who was asked, no idea of how the survey was conducted and no idea of the demographics of who they asked as part of the survey.

In other words, this survey cannot be trusted.

You'd think you'd know stuff like this.

That's not English either mate, I don't know what you're trying to say. Maybe you can go to a forum where they speak your langauge and get it translated. Surely there's a forum for American English speakers and they can translate it to proper English?


Yes mate, really. To be honest, you're a bit of a waster
The last thread you started was in 2015 ffs, all you do is hound people, you're exactly what people think of when they think troll, or keyboard warrior. I think you need to take a look at your life and have a rethink coz I can't imagine it's going very well.


Finally Iron-y you post something on topic, so lets have a look......

Indeed, Poland is so out of the loop and so desperate for allies that it has to go with a) Britain, who want to leave the EU and b) Hungary, a dingbat proto-fascist. Well, I suppose, like attracts like and I'm sure old Jarek would love another lapdog in Hungary, but Orben ain't as dumb as he thinks.


Naw, that's not really the case though. And you'd have to be clinically insane to think the current Polish government could do anything about it, even if it was the case, and sure y'know, it's not anyway, so we can easily deduce that you're bullshi!!ing


Look, just coz your family left when the going got tough doesn't mean the rest of us would contemplate such a thing.

But sure yea, Pollo, don't bother linking to the original story, that's some good journalism practice from you.

What am I thinking, of course not. You're just obsessed with other posters, constantly attacking anyone who dares call you out. How utterly, utterly pathetic.

You contribute nothing to this forum and were I a Mod your IP would be banned outright


Just coz you can use big words doesn't mean that you're using them properly or that they are true :D :D :D

Ya see, there you go again. You need to write in English on this forum mate.
I know some native English speakers that give lessons over Skype if you're interested? You can pay in dollars so you'll save money ;)

#friendsforever

Let's try and get back on topic will we?
Is that OK with your Iron-y?

I have to laugh that Poland's main ally in the EU is the UK, who will more than likely leave the EU, their other main alley being Hungary, who have proven that while they can talk the talk, they back down when really pushed.

I'm betting that Poland is doing the same, they're push and push the EU until the last moment, get some better conditions but as per usual with all previous Polish governments, they'll p!ssy out in the end

Yea, that's why I called it a utopia :D
They still borrow though, balancing a budget means paying back what's owed.


They certainly aren't. One of the many reasons PiS won't last very long I'd say.

News / Poland may take the EU to court if they step up pressure -- Kaczyński [89]


Yea, but your explanation was well,.....how to be diplomatic....somewhat lacking.

Harry is right, PiS have lost an absolute fortune in less than a year.

Sure PO borrowed tons to keep the show on the road (even utopias like Sweden & Switzerland borrow money for things like that). Now, I'm no fan of PO either, but there's a huge difference between borrowing money for running departments and state institutions and y'know, squandering money coz of what's nothing more than ineptitude.

News / Poland may take the EU to court if they step up pressure -- Kaczyński [89]


Fair enough, looks like Europe isn't a fan of proper democracy. I'm surprised at that tbh, it's pretty fascist to not allow your populace to be represented like that


Harry did it pretty well in fairness ;)

News / Poland may take the EU to court if they step up pressure -- Kaczyński [89]


I don't think so, but if you can prove it I'm open to correction.


OK, so I got the year wrong, doesn't change the fact that the process isn't truly democratic.
Absolutely ridiculous that independent politicians & smaller political parties are not allowed any representation.
I have Korwin-Mikke, I really detest him, but his party have a right to be in parliament.

Pretending to be democractic doesn't mean that you are. You know yourself, if Poland was truly democratic then we wouldn't have this embarrassing constitutional tribunal fiasco (and I'm one of the few that believes both PiS and PO are to blame for it).


Yea, no, wrong on this I'm afraid, they matter a lot, like, the matter, really, really, really a lot

News / Poland may take the EU to court if they step up pressure -- Kaczyński [89]


And PiS have lost what? A billion dollars off the Polish stock market since then? Nice


Certainly isn't, if anything the UK is one of the worst democracies in the EU, first past the post isn't true democracy.
Proportion representation is proper democracy, Poland not allowing independent parties and politicians (that BS 5% rule) just proves that the Polish government in 1989 never intended for true democracy to take hold in Poland.

That's a very good point

News / Roman Polanski accused of unlawful sex with a minor [403]


That doesn't matter, it's for the state to decide becasue of the type of crime.

If he'd just punched her and she didn't want to bring charges then fair enough, however, Polanski anally raped a kid who had been given a f!ckload of drugs

I don't think he will be extradited, and I don't think he gives two f!cks about Poland either.
The biggest mistake in this trail was made many, many years ago with the original judge.

News / Poland may take the EU to court if they step up pressure -- Kaczyński [89]


The majority didn't vote for PiS, in a normal democracy a coalition of the current opposition would be in power.


Poland wouldn't even exist without the Treaty of Versailles and at that it was only re-established to be a buffer between Germany & Russia, obviously WWII showed that was a failure. But we'll blame the allies for that, wasn't really Poland's fault.


Poland was advancing so well, until last October, but at the next election hopefully Poland will be back on the right track, so long as it doesn't become a fascist-totalitarian state before then, which is very possible.
