UK, Ireland / Xenophobic Backlash Against Polish School in London [23]

Looks like you didn't get it, did you. It's also the initials of another Polish organisation too.

Anyway, the media have picked up on it and the police investigation is ongoing.

News / What does Poles think of European superstate? [48]

A lot of discussion about European integration right now in Poland. That guy with the radio programme about Libertarian politics (usually an interesting commentator) is dead set against, other commentators not so much.

UK, Ireland / Xenophobic Backlash Against Polish School in London [23]

Sounds like a teenager did it - there's a youth organisation called OMP that meets in the same building. Given that the message said "f*ck you OMP" it is too much of a coincidence.

UK, Ireland / Xenophobic Backlash Against Polish School in London [23]

The graffiti on the Polish Centre in Hammersmith doesn't look like it was xenophobic or even written by a Brit. That and any other incident is being dealt with by the police.

One nationalist loon was posting offensive leaflets through people's doors. With his fingerprints on.

UK, Ireland / London's POSK smeared with anti-Polish grafitti [150]

Neither he nor the mayor took a moment on Sunday to visit the center

Why would he? It's the middle of a political crisis, parliament sat today and there's no evidence whatsoever that the graffiti was xenophobic.

Not that the Polish government would have done anything if the boot was on the other foot

Indeed.

UK, Ireland / Why are Poles in the UK complaining of racism when you are racist? [73]

So as hispanic against uncontrolled immigration in US

This is about the Brexit vote, not about local issues in other parts of the world.

opposed by a certain group of people here on PF when they say exactly the same about your country

Right-wing whingers.

News / Good-change government raising minimum wage in Poland, cutting SB pensions [213]

magic thinking, not surprising, but still magic thinking

Better just to divorce than go through the hoops of explaining yourself to clergy who then have a debate among themselves about it.

A friend (a priest taken out of parish work due to serious mental illness) worked for the Diocesan Marriage Tribunal as something called a 'Defender of the Bond'. He, who had never had a relationship and was so nutty they wouldn't let him near a pulpit or a parishioner was paid to argue in every case that an annulment should not happen.

Easier to sort it out at a lawyer.

And soon you gonna fight with Ukrainian for job with strawberry picking.

In Warsaw?

Basically you tried to disagree with straightforward logic about the Polish graffiti for reasons that are unclear. You tried to take the thread off topic; it didn't work. You tried hysteria, lying and you tried to clutch at the few straws you could think of.

It didn't work.

left CITY I

You probably mean CCTV, and the police are already on to that...

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

I would like to stress that I have always found the of majority British people are sympathetic and welcoming to the Polish people, I would strongly urge all poles not to let hatred of a minority racist Britons spoil the hard work and strong bond between our two nations

Very well said.

A lot will happen over the next few months anyway.

google search

Haven't used it today.

Lady Diana or the appalling Jeanne Stonor" sorry who was doing whom in this relation

You erroneously mentioned Sir Oswald Mosley, so you ought to know. Try 'Google search'.

And still nothing to suggest a local wrote it, from the content, from the handwriting, from the language.

CCTV will tell us very soon.

In a word, ender, no they weren't, and yes, Russians do 'use tricks'. And no the British Council on Jerozolimskie wasn't a 'community centre' it was a language school and examinations centre. And I think you'll find, if you're allowed to visit Warsaw, that their premises are long closed and the language examinations centre is now elsewhere.

And no, nothing you said about Sir Oswald (surprised you didn't mention Lady Diana or the appalling Jeanne Stonor) adds to the issue of the graffiti about the OMP (now cleaned off and subject to a police investigation) on the door of POSK.

Love / Any Polish Muslim girls living in Poland? [103]

Many more eligible Muslim ladies in Germany, though if you really do want a lady from Poland, the best way is to actually come here and meet one.
