Life / Wroclaw Stadium and the Queen gig. [20]

I saw freddy, john deacon and 'queen' in 1985 and Brian may on tour in about 1993-4... can't see the point of watching them now especially with the useless selection of vocalists that they choose.

Life / A rant on customer service in Poland [42]

WatWat

Poland and customer service arn't two words that sit together comfortably. I have had crap service from Multimedia and don't get me started on Citibank.

I'm sure both BM and RT don't need the money. I saw Paul Rodgers in about 1991 and he was fantastic. I even managed to have a chat with him over a pint in the concert bar at the newcastle city hall. Queen should give up now and BM and RT should go their own ways. Queen died the day that FM passed away.

Pounds mate.. us Brits arn't part of the Euro mess!

UK, Ireland / Poles robbing Poles in the UK [12]


Really. The UK has control of it's own currency. it gives a huge amount directly and inderectly to the EU. Without the EU the UK would return once again to is previous pre-europe standing in the World. Time to get out!

UK, Ireland / And you wonder why there is Anti-Polish feeling in the UK [187]

Really. Did you see the figures from crimes commited by Poles in London? People do lash out at Asians. But for the Poles to think that they are generally 'picked-on' is utter rubbish. Poles are emmigrating their problem to the UK and then denying that they are by using the 'anti-polish' card. (same as other minorities do in the uk) The times that they come on here and talk about the Guardian. the Guardian only prints news (if its a lie then the Poles can easily take them to court in the UK)

UK, Ireland / And you wonder why there is Anti-Polish feeling in the UK [187]

It took me 2 minutes to get that list above. But on that small list you will see that it's definately an ongoing thing of Poles killing people in the UK 'constantly' (continally occuring). As i said before if the Daily Mail prints so much rubbish then why haven't the Poles complained more about them officially? Every murder commited by a Pole in the UK is damning.

The Expats in Poland don't murder people 'constantly'...why's that then?

UK, Ireland / And you wonder why there is Anti-Polish feeling in the UK [187]


In 2004 there were a total of 99 Polish prisoners in UK jails. In 2009 a total of 1,240. Each one of your so called 'countrymen' cost the UK tax payer approx 500gbp per month. That's a total of 7.5 million a year plus the added expense of Policing and the courts. We don't care if they are the best or worse (it's not a competition) the simple fact is that over 1,200 Poles are in the UK commiting crimes that would not exist if we closed the border or did stronger checks on the criminal backgrounds. I very much doubt whether the whole of the 1,200 poles if they were back in Poland whould be spending time incarcerated at the pleasure of the Polish tax payer. It's not the fault of the Polish government and people but the fault of the British government for allowing this to go on. As I've said before what is the percentage of British expats in the Polish prison population compared to the other way round. Poland 'is' exporting is criminals!


How can you say that any atrocity is worse then another? The Poles who aided the Germans during the war were no better then the guys who threw cyklon 'b' down the chimneys. As for British hating Polish...prove it! The Polish in the Uk make up over 1% of the population, we house them, school their kids (even pay for kids living in Poland about 50,000 receive Child benefits), we give them jobs and benefits in abundance. Where is this so called hate? Look at articles in the Daily Mail that are supposed to be anti-polish and you'll find that those articles probably make up alot less then the 1% of the newspaper articles (compare it to articles on Albanians!)

The UK is funding and has funded in the past Polish growth through allowing Poles to work in the UK years before other EU countries.. wait to see how the Poles are treat by the Germans in the next couple of years.

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

Why did the British people need to protest? Poland wasn't their country or infact thier problem. M

aybe the British still remembered Polish troops in various German divisions in World War One or Poles fighting with Napolean in the Napoleonic wars! In fact in History the Poles have fought against us on more then 1 occasion. I'm sure a fact that Churchill was fully aware of.

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]


Really... the Poles in the 'Battle of Britain' made up about 20% of the kills. Who made up the other 80%? Remember if the British hadn't have been so busy the germans would have had more time to complete it's untermensch policy!


As i said before the British public had more to worry about at the time then Poland, who to be honest hadn't done Britain any favours in the past. Fact!

So then answer this question why doesn't Poland spend a little bit more preparing it's defences for the next invasion? It's spending on defence is woeful!

answer... it doesn't need to it'll hope for another round of help from the Imperialist British and the Americans.

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]


Let's blame the British for Polands complete lack of ability to be able to defend its borders!

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]


Chris R... are you a politician? Just answer the question. Why do the Poles never protect their borders with an efficient force? Look at GDP spent by the UK on defence. Why should the Poles continually ask the UK for assistance when they arn't prepared to pay for their own defence?

UK, Ireland / And you wonder why there is Anti-Polish feeling in the UK [187]


Poles are citizens in their own nation? When was the last time Poland was a fully independant nation? The German led EU are running the Polish puppet government at the moment, before that the Russians did, before that the Germans did..Russians next?

The UK is it's own master, this is why the EU nations hate us. Why on earth would the UK (head of the commonwealth an approx 1/3 or the planet) envy little Poland? Get real!

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

Why do the Poles think that their insignificant nation is the be all and end all. The UK owes Poland nothing. Never has done and never will do. The Poles need to sort out their own defence and stop begging for help. You'll soon stop bleating 'Yalta' or 'imperialists' to the British and the US when the Germans or Russians come knocking again!

Who cares... two insignificant nations!

Sorry... what are you trying to say? Maybe British occupation... maybe if the British were still in the Republic of Ireland then they wouldn't be in such a mess. Another failed catholic country! (p.s. i'm irish by ancestory and have an irish surname)

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]


Since 1989 what have the Poles done to strenghten it's defences. It spends a woeful amount of it's GDP on defence. In the event the Poles are hoping that somebody else will bail them out as usual! The UK spent 62billion dollars on defence in 2011 (2.6% of its GDP usd893 per capita) the Poles usd285 per capita! Next time we agree to save the Poles arse we should ask them for payment first.

1939-1945 we occupied the Germans time and stopped them from wiping out the Untermensch!

Is anybody else a bit bored of the ungrateful Polish nation thinking that we did nothing for 6 years! Matbe we should stop giving them money now to thank them!

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]


Although i have to agree with you regarding all of your post I would like to defend the Polish fleet for it's defence of the Isle of Wight. Unlike the Brit bashing Poles on here us British are gentlemen enough to thank the Poles for their assistance. It seems that in Poland the kids are still being taught history that tell them that Polands true enemy in the world is Britain. TBH in Britain we don't give a stuff about Poland's history.

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

Harry maybe the Poles are taught that the British and French should leave their countries unguarded against what they assumed was a far superior German airforce to fight the Germans in Poland. I'm sure that this would have been popular in Poland but suicidal for the Allied forces. The British air force as at 9th september was:-

Fighter command (without 6 group):
Blenheims :72
Spitfire:104
Gladiators:42
Hurricane :133
Bomber Command:
Battles:145
Blenheim:100
Wellington:67
Whitley:60
Hampden:75

The Royal Navy although being one of the worlds biggest wasn't in anyway capable of taking on the German navy at that time.

What did the Poles want the British to do commit suicide for the Polish nation?

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

Harry the Poles probably omit to teach their kids about that disgraceful part of their history. Nice helmets!

Which you had stolen from the Czechs previously! Originally the are was part of Morovia so belonged to neither. After that it became part of Bohemia. When did it start becoming Polish?

'Up to the mid-19th century members of the local Slav population did not identify themselves as members of larger ethnolinguistic entities. In Cieszyn Silesia (as in all West Slavic borderlands) various territorial identities pre-dated ethnic and national identity. Consciousness of membership within a greater Polish or Czech nation spread slowly in Silesia.[11]

From 1848 to the end of the 19th century, local Polish and Czech people co-operated, united against the Germanizing tendencies of the Austrian Empire and later of Austria-Hungary.[12] At the end of the century, ethnic tensions arose as the area's economic significance grew. This growth caused a wave of immigration from Galicia. About 60,000 people arrived between 1880 and 1910.[13][14] The new immigrants were Polish and poor, about half of them being illiterate. They worked in coal mining and metallurgy. For these people the most important factor was material well-being; they cared little about the homeland from which they had fled. Almost all of them assimilated into the Czech population'

So then why would Poles assimilate into a population of foreigners in Poland?

Polish dressed in German uniforms who'd have thought it!

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

Don't be silly. Yes it is! A head dress is an integral part of a uniform. Be it a beret or a helmet!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Army_Uniform .. in Britain it is.

In the UK we've never worn German Helmets unless we got a really bad haircut from our mother. We've definitely never invaded a neighbour wearing German helmets!
