Or any children.

You do hear sad stories in Poland though about the way school staff, especially so-called catechicists (too early to care about spelling) treat children with one or both parents from overseas.


I've a feeling that that boat has now sailed; the numbers are too large.

Those days are gone.

Once, someone who emigrated from, say, Poland, needed a short wave radio to hear their own language, couldn't get kielbasa for love nor money and needed to save half a year's wages to visit home.

Now, people have all the TV channels they had at home, the entire internet at their fingertips and of course Ryanair Stansted-Modlin is often cheaper and always quicker than PKP Warsaw-Szczecin (and that includes airport travel/waiting).


Something to blame Yank academics seeking to impose their views on others and r*SSian and Chinese propagandists seeking to undermine the free world are very much to blame for.

As the native Australian tubylcow (those few still alive, anyway) would tell you, this has been the case for a century and a half.

None of those (and I hate to break the news to you, but one is a fictional character)

Anyway, Macierewicz is russophilic pondlife. Kwasniewski is one of the good guys. Last thing I heard, he was living in America.

Ethnicity is more about culture than a few percent of genes.


Yours too, unless there's been a revolution or a referendum down under that escaped the notice of the world's media.

Fortunately this person was cleared of any wrongdoing.

It's someone you've probably heard of.

Why not indeed.


They aren't, any more than a guy in Manchester who can't speak a word of the language and who couldn't find Poland on a map isn't, regardless of where his granny came from.

Military intelligence. A Colonel and a fairly well known one.

Like many of the military he had to bite his tongue.


Of course. Like the rest of the army, his loyalty was to Poland.

Any people seem to believe that kompromat exists.

It would be interesting to see, however if it came out he'd certainly have to resign and nobody in their right mind would want Vance to take his place.

You're probably thinking of people in the former Soviet Union. I don't see South Americans with a Polish granny rushing to go (it cannot in any sense be called a return) to PL.


The same as. They don't speak the language and aren't even European.

Then again, there are a lot of Haitians who have a little Polish blood. A chance to settle in PL might be interesting for them.

In decades there, I've only heard two Poles be even slightly positive about r*SSia.

One was half r*SSian and the other had mental health problemss.


This will not happen in the lifetime of anyone reading this.

Even the Warsaw Pact was forced on them under threat of violence.

Because it hasn't served their interests.


He was one of Europe's top human rights lawyers before he was a politician and has an IQ double that of Trup's. The negotiating t3m had a certain strength too; in the US, the most talented people often go into corporate work whereas in the U.K. they are more likely to go into the Civil Service.


Litres.

There are no "alliances" with r*SSia. Just conquest and mass murder.

Putler's r*SSia is a dangerous place...

On the same day that a Russian minister was found dead hours after being sacked, a second man in the same department dropped dead. Deputy head of Russia's Federal Road Agency's Property Management Department, Andrey Korneichuk, reportedly stood up and collapsed in his office.

Paramedics declared the 42-year-old dead at the scene, with initial reports finding his heart just 'stopped'. The sudden death has raised eyebrows, given that his boss, Transportation Minister Roman Starovoit, was found dead with gunshot wounds on the same day.

So what?

One issue is that most of those people don't particularly want to move tp PL.


Someone who's got one great granny born on what is now or has been Polish territory has nothing to do with Poland.

May it continue to be so, given that the corruption has weakened their attempts to destroy Ukraine.

Genealogy / Polish and gypsy traditions [140]


Ours came from further west and from Scandinavia, mostly in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, however most of yours and all of ours and most in northern Poland are from that same tribe. Traditionally they worked with metals, especially making/mending pans and doing small repairs. The ones from Romania wh9 play music are generally from other tribes.

Some of ours still do.
