Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [237]


Does it say they're tried as adults? No it doesn't.

Changes in court venue are for administrative purposes to do with large trials with multiple witnesses and specific complexity. The law regarding minors and the sentencing guidelines for minors are the same.


In the UK, they don't. A headline can say anything it likes. They aren't even written by the journalist who wrote the article.

It looks like you're trying to make an argument.

To make it clear, children are not tried as adults in the UK.

I'm pretty sure that's deliberate.


Perhaps best not to discuss here since the US is on our side however I'd guess the company is a public-sector contractor. I've a good idea what the job is about. Nothing especially controversial. Basically analysis work. Unusual to see it advertised like that.

It's a bit cack-handed to say the least to mention security clearance in an ad (never mind giving specifics!!!!!) and it looks like whoever is recruiting isn't doing it very well.

If they require security clearance, I'd guess it isn't OSINT.

@Paulina

Read my post, rather than some journalistic polemic found online.

My post makes it clear what the 10 thing is about. That is the subject of the article and the writer has strong opinions on it.

The link below is more useful than a newspaper article:

"The criminal justice system treats children and young people differently from adults and significant weight must be attached to the age of the suspect if they are a child or young person under 18."

Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [237]


It's different. The 10 thing is the age of responsibility; below that there can be no charges or trial regardless of what happened.

Until 18, any charges are heard in different courts, have different sentencing, different conditions of punishment and absolute anonymity including no record on release.

History / Good enough for British - Joseph Conrad? Poland-born novelist. [30]

He had a dry sense of humour. Very ironic given that he was writing in a country that has produced far more great 19th/20th/21st century literature than the whole of the rest of Europe (including Poland) combined.

News / Poland says no to flood of Immigrants [670]


Or in fact didn't, since inward migration to Poland is increasing year on year.

Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [237]


They very rarely are. With good reason.

News / Poland says no to flood of Immigrants [670]


There isn't one. If you mean a kid assimilating, that depends on many factors.


Millions do, and as I've said, inward migration in Europe is unstoppable. The louder major political parties are about it, the less they do.

Since it wont be stopped, the only question is about managing it. And as the Polish economy becomes more prosperous and as the birth rate decreases, thinking it through is better than not doing so.

Law / Polish Police and Their Tactics [237]


It's bizarre. Minors are minors and should never be tried as adults.

News / Poland says no to flood of Immigrants [670]


To say the least and a complete crazy. The short to medium term future of that country is bleak.


Not anywhere that many people would want to migrate to nowadays, with a tanked economy and food shortages.

That shows how utterly incompetent the right-wing government are if their own employees are able to 'block' them.

Not that they are of course....

Double murder.

Is the sentence tariff increased in PL if a murder victim is a cop?

The best sociologists can do...


The police who murdered him, and thousands of others...

How did they 'force' it? I read Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex which talked about Henry Ford. the well-known Nazi sympathiser, who used to have weird programmes for his staff. Was it like that?


That was a result of police violence, as well you know.


Perhaps because the presence of newer Dutch has brought such affluence to the older Dutch that a new urban proletariat formed. Doubtless a few decades ago, the working class were five times more likely to engage in crime as the bourgeoisie just like today.

History / Good enough for British - Joseph Conrad? Poland-born novelist. [30]

And his birthday again yesterday. Here are some quotes:

"Being a woman is a terribly difficult trade since it consists principally of dealings with men."

"It's only those who do nothing that make no mistakes, I suppose."

"We live as we dream -- alone..."

"It was written I should be loyal to the nightmare of my choice."

"My task, which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel -- it is, before all, to make you see."

You'd be surprised, and of course social cohesion is a matter for us all.


And not without BLM riots and fascist 'summer of hate' marches.

News / Poland says no to flood of Immigrants [670]


So what?


I've only a vague idea what tik tok is and of course you're pretending to misunderstand the word trend.

No European country has managed to slow the trend; it is increasing and is likely to do so for a long time.


That hasn't worked either. Not Theresa May's 'hostile environment' nor France's lack of material support nor Greece's internment camps.

Of course. I read a good paper that said economically the impact for Ireland would be greater than for Germany during their reunification. That was just about the money and didn't mention the urban/rural thing or the red hand and sash people.

News / Poland says no to flood of Immigrants [670]


It did. The perps were born there (I was in 6th form with some of their parents who were also born there) and no problems occurred until the town's economy collapsed.


Have you ever seen an exponentially growing trend 'halted'?

I suspect they were worrying about that afterwards and had assumed he was drunk before.

You said before that you thought it weird that they ignored my knocking. So did my friend. You're both from places a long way from Warsaw, places with a greater sense of community. Capital citis can be odd places and untypical of the country they're in.

Poverty is never OK.


With a right-wing libertarian government, steps towards lifting people out of poverty and developing social cohesion rarely happen.


Yes and no. They were wiped out at the last general election but have made gains in by-elections in rural and affluent areas. They are expected to take some suburban eats of the Tories next year. Worth mentioning that when I worked for Rotherham County council cil th make-up of the chamber was 62 Labour, 2 Tories and a lonely Liberal. There were no real problems with girls in care and older men exploiting them. The sh1t started to happen after more Tories and LibDems got in and started to close the kids' homes and most significantly, cut the number of police and social workers. If you have rust-belt poverty, it has to be managed carefully or the problems snowball.

News / Poland says no to flood of Immigrants [670]


Have you spent much time there? I certainly have. I'd say the issues are more to do with poverty than anything else.


Three really, Labour, the Tory cvnts and the SNP.

The last of those is largely unaffected, the Tories rail about migration as much as some on here with as little practical effect and Labour take a pragmatic approach.

What are your thoughts on 'biological determinism'?


Not, fortunately in the UK or Poland.

No. Bow ties are like very expensive watches, certain type of cars and huge kitchen knives displayed in a knife block. They're about what's in the trousers or more accurately what's lacking.

Life / SOME OBSERVATIONS ABOUT POLAND AND POLISH SOCIETY [297]


This has been discussed in the UK however the government decided there wa no need to pass a new law since everyone and anyone would call the fire brigade without thinking twice.

I was told after the fire happened that the Polish staff were possibly worried about getting a bill.

They are, until they decide otherwise (which by the way would delight the UK), however most of Ireland isn't. We do have close relations however as two islands, one large and one small, that difference is cherished in Ireland and understood in Britain.
