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


That is exactly what you are doing, there is no desire as far as I can see to turn Poland into the US.

You want a gun on demand go live in the US... Poland love it or leave it

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


I don't see where the application of rigid safety laws would impact upon that one bit. The other examples you gave are in fact an argument for maintaining Polish safety laws ie no hand guns no automatic/semi automatic weapons and no adaptors.

I knew a man from the bar nicknamed Pidgin who was shot on two, possibly three separate occasions so naturally he was re-nicknamed Clay. He could have been armed to the teeth and it would have made no difference.

This is not about a plot for a bad movie. Any one dreaming about when they would want and use a gun should be barred from ever having one.

Safety laws should be tightened,

UK, Ireland / Is it good for Poland as Sinn Fein will win today in Northen Ireland [282]


In October last year the EU proposed several changes to the protocol including red and green lanes for goods going to the 26 counties, the UK have yet to respond. The vast majority of elected representatives in the six counties support the agreement. The vast majority of UK MPs also voted to adopt the agreement.

The EU have shown themselves to be flexible they want a mature trading relationship with all third party countries and are awaiting a reply.

UK, Ireland / Boris Johnson - is the new British PM a popular figure in Poland? [150]


Expecting a partner to an international treaty to abide by that treaty is not obstructionist. Brexit and the Belfast agreement are largely incompatible, It was the UK government's responsibility to square the circle.

Edit
Every attempt to address the problem was dismissed by Johnston and co on his self serving journey to the top

UK, Ireland / Is it good for Poland as Sinn Fein will win today in Northen Ireland [282]

@Atch
Sinn Fein are well ahead in the polls, they topped the polls in the last general election but failed to stand enough candidates, their lead has been consistent for years it wasn't a protest vote. In a multi seat PR election they probably will be the largest party possibly having enough TDs to govern without coalition.

The documented corruption of FF and FG though not on a Mexican level is still proportional to the size and location of the country.

The impact on Poland will revolve around how they use their EU veto to achieve unity. The EU had Irelands back over Brexit and everyone saw that clearly.

UK, Ireland / Is it good for Poland as Sinn Fein will win today in Northen Ireland [282]


As far as the EU is concerned Brexit is done, the withdrawal deal and free trade agreement was negotiated, ratified by the British parliament and the EU. it may be altered but not scrapped otherwise there is a very real possibility there would be a trade war. That could impact Poland for the very short period before the UK folds.

With success in the north comes success in the 26 counties. The same party in government in both parts of the island is very worrying for the corrupt right wing duopoly that have basically run the place (26 counties) since independence. Ireland is a small country so the impact a Sinn Fein government will have on the EU will be minimal except when it comes to reunifying the country. Sinn Fein will do everything to encourage the EU to support their position.

In the big scheme of things Sinn Fein and Ireland wont have an impact on Poland

News / Should Poland pay for gas in rubles? [194]

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.

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


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

Edit
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.

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.

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.

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.
