News / Should Poland pay for gas in rubles? [185]

This is true, demonstrating again that this bunch of right wing nut jobs are all fur coat and no knickers.

They take from the EU and contribute nothing...see their refusal to take refugees from places their army was occupying. Now they demand the EU pay them to care for "the right kind of refugees" hypocrites.

Travel / Travel to Poland from the UK? (COVID time) [50]

Yes my friend works for Sanepid and hates it especially after they were all transferred to Covid tracing. They are understaffed and several people in her office have contracted covid. Edit: not as a direct consequence of her work.

They definitely have access to databases of positive cases including private information about their work and travel etc.

They have access to a lot of government databases not sure about flight records will find out and post.

Depends on where the subject lives and how many staff are sick/isolating

Travel / Travel to Poland from the UK? (COVID time) [50]

Travel from Britain to The Irish Republic is currently severely restricted due to the new variant, the only sure way to get to Dublin Airport is to travel from Britain to Belfast ( by plane) then cross the border on your way to Dublin Airport. Direct travel to Dublin Airport shouldn't be a problem however it's unethical and you probably will be turned back at the Polish airport (especially if you don't have an EU passport) at your own expense.

Just don't do it...

Life / Owning a house in true countryside of Poland - stories [692]

You need to spray spuds to prevent blight the disease is airborne and will thrive in the right weather conditions. Warnings will be issued by various organisations in Poland, you can sign up for email alerts. The correct weather conditions for blight are a warm and humid atmosphere. The best organic compounds preventing blight are copper based, dithane is used commercially. I use Bordeaux mix which is a copper based powder you mix with water and spray directly onto the plant leaves. It's major disadvantage is that it's washed off by rain and a second spray is required. Some years you don't have to spray.

Rotating crops is to prevent soil based problems for example growing spuds in the same place year after year encourages pests like eel worm to flourish. Brassicas like cabbage, sprouts, cauliflower etc should be planted in the potato patch the following year not the other way round. Earthing up spuds encourages more tubers as they come from the side shoots of the roots and protect the plant from late frosts. Spuds are easy, when earthing up which you do about two or three times a season you can kill the weeds by cutting their roots and turning them into the soil where they will die.

Tomatoes are the same plant family and also suffer from blight, you treat them for blight the same way you do spuds. I don't think Blight is as big a problem in Poland as it is in Ireland. Get your spuds into the ground as soon as you can in case you can't visit due to the election queues and let nature take its course.

History / Poles should emulate Jews? [153]


I'm not sure what that means, my point is that creating some arbitrary yard stick to measure people or nations is nonsense.

History / Poles should emulate Jews? [153]

All populations start with an identical spread of characteristics including intelligence, Intelligence cannot be measured those suggesting it can need to demonstrate how. People are born the same and should be treated the same.

Creating some artificial measure to rank people is unscientific irreligious and fascist.

History / Future of Kaliningrad Oblast - is it possible to annex by Poland or will it become an independent country? [137]


There is no way the Russians will sell their territory to any foreigners. When the Germans started murdering people for what ever legal reason they cared to invent they lost any moral or legal claim and may think themselves lucky they were allowed to retain a country.

Law / The right to own guns: would you support such legislation in Poland? [2237]


Most countries in Europe allow for that and most European countries have sensible safeguards in place to protect the public.

We have been over this countless times the simple fact remains more guns means more gun deaths.

This is one of the great falsehoods about Latin America, the truth is that the fascist dictators ran out of options, their economies had been destroyed and they wanted to be rescued.

News / Poland will have a queen again [75]


Why it's irrelevant.
Tell me why children should be treated differently that's very relevant. Tell me why it's ok to call some who benefit from the state "dole scum" while other claimants are elevated to mythical status. Then tell me why it's OK for an unelected person to directly interfere in political matters.

If that is the system you like grand just don't call it democratic.

News / Poland will have a queen again [75]


No one is denying this irrelevant point just pointing out that its undemocratic and costly to each and every country that has this odd system the fact that the most successful countries all have presidential systems is also irrelevant.

I'm still waiting for a reasoned explanation for treating children as more equal than others. With regard to the Windsors the crown estate is not their personal property therefore they are funded lavishly by the state where the money would ordinarily go.

News / Poland will have a queen again [75]

How dare anyone call the Queen of England the English Queen what an outrage but its fine calling other benefit claimants dole scum and bottom feeders? They give themselves a whole series of official .titles carried with pride, it is frankly a dead heat between the Windsors and the ex politburo members as to who had the most ridiculous chest full of gongs.

Nothing to do with Ireland (yet again) and everything to do with democracy and financial probity.....In a time of austerity increasing their benefits is totally unjustifiable to all but the mesmerised the same who believe some are more equal than others.

News / Poland will have a queen again [75]

So there is no English Queen that is news to me and most of the world. Still whatever she is called she is still an unelected drain on the public purse.

News / Poland will have a queen again [75]


She is called the English queen or the queen of England that is what people call her. It's not insulting in any way unlike the terms bottom feeders, dole scum etc which are often used to describe other welfare claimants.

Are you telling me that she is not the Queen of England?

News / Poland will have a queen again [75]


They are not her personal property.


Does she or any other members of her family work more hours than a bus driver or surgeon? Does she or any other members of her family work more hours or harder than a democratically elected person like the British PM? I don't think so yet her family are lavished with money from the state, her children are treated differently by the state and media c/f the recent phone hacking scandal and public corruption.

News / Poland will have a queen again [75]


The English queen takes money from the state you admitted that above. The British gov publish some of the figures, the linked report also explains the full position. This family are a bunch of scroungers costing more than any other European royal family they also cost more than any European presidential system that is not value for money.

Royalists believe that all children are equal except certain royal children who are more equal that situation is hypocritical and undemocratic.


The English Queen and family cost £202.4 million
Queen's Civil List 14.2
Duke of Edinburgh 0.4
Property grant 15.4
Communications, media and public relations 0.4
Travel 3.9
Government departments and Crown Estate 3.9
Prince Charles and Camilla (additional costs) 0.5
Lost revenue from Duchy of Lancaster 13.2
Lost revenue from Duchy of Cornwall 24.5

You are claiming that the English queen doesnt take money from the British state?
That is as bizzare as you quoting scripture at me and is clearly not the case in the world the rest of us live in.

Chiselers the lot of them

News / Poland will have a queen again [75]


I think you will find that they do get money from the state


At last you agree they do get state money.

So why are some children treated differently by the state if ,as I believe, all children are equal?

News / Poland will have a queen again [75]


Quite clearly they are not, some get state money lavished upon them and most don't.


Very poor Jon, I thought you were better than that but I was wrong

News / Poland will have a queen again [75]

I didn't say either thing was acceptable or unacceptable, I am opposed to unelected heads of state particularly those who meddle in political matters rather than acting in a dignified manner as a figurehead.

What is unacceptable is the unprovoked xenophobic attack on me for daring to agree with the not inconsiderable section of your country that is republican and believe that all children are born equal.

I have yet to hear the argument for some children being better than others

Ironically the British Nationalists are the only ones who claim they are not nationalist

You don't consider British courts a source of truth? That's fine with me think what you want.


Yes, as demonstrated in a British court.


Of course you do Harry as long as they are not in uniform implementing racist and sectarian laws.


I don't care where they are from I dont like them because they are unelected and meddle in political life the same reasons I never liked apartheid or Pinochet Anyone would be successful if given millions by the state.

News / Poland will have a queen again [75]


Does anyone else get a chance to review and alter bills the exact nature of these alterations made by yer woman and her son remaining a state secret?

If the British like having an unelected head of state that's fine just don't claim that it's democratic.

News / Poland will have a queen again [75]


The British queen like Stalin is unelected, The IRA did cost a lot of money as did the British Army's castration and roasting people alive policy the link being that the people roasted alive were Black Africans asking for democracy, we know how you hate the Black liberation movement. The IRA is only relevant here because I am Irish and British Racists always throw that slur at Irish people when they have no argument.

If you cant defend an undemocratic institution that is guilty of political meddling without attacking the messenger that's fine but not very clever.

That would become state assets it's very simple Harry


Prince Andrew is English

For someone claiming to be free of nationality you sure do raise the British Nationalist cause often.
