Gun culture.

Yes, however since it's a professional qualification related to medicine, that framework is already in place.

Very long distance and although some tourists like it, it's probably better to fly there or take the train if they still have them. Even a long car journey in Poland is long for me since in the U.K. if you go east-west the journey by train or car is not long, and north-south journeys are always better by train (or flight if it's England to Scotland).

The idea of a 10 hour coach journey is unpleasant.

Migration from the global south to the global north is the story of the next century or so.

Had to know how someone from, say, Eritrea, is a worse protect from someone from, say, Portugal.

Not all. some are, some aren't. In a country of 38 million people there will always be diverse opinions.


The invitation was extended when Poland decided to join the EU.

The sheer number of gun accidents is yet another reason that people in developed societies don't want gun proliferation.

@Alien
As far as I know, pharmacy is one of the fields where professional qualifications tend to fit into frameworks specially intended for recognition elsewhere.

There's certainly a large element of that.


They certainly help the poor. If that is 'leftist', then 'leftism' should be the default position of every decent person.


Hard to know how.

USA, Canada / Moving To Michigan - Help Required [27]


There are a couple of regular posters who are in or are from Michigan however one has been away for a while for personal reasons.

As far as I know there are community organisations there for people of Polish descent.

UK, Ireland / London is Poland's 24th largest city [85]


Are Ealing and Acton still. big centres of Polish life in London? I know there are a lot of post-2004 arrivals around Seven Sisters tube.


It isn't. It is 86%, and most of those who are mixed race, black, Chinese, whatever, are concentrated in a few cities.

In your country it is 75%.

The new barmaid in my local asked me if I'm Polish a bit back. She had a broad Yorkshire accent with only a tiny suggestion she'd lived elsewhere. About 20 and came to the UK as a kid.

I heard a few people speaking Polish, mostly older people. Perhaps people who came in 2004 when they were well in their forties.


Strangely old fashioned. A sort of 70s feel. A bit like the north only there wren't any empty shops and there was plenty of life there. A haircut in the same sort of Kurdish along that you get up here except it was quite a bit cheaper.


I noticed that. Suburban streets with mock Tudor semis but inner city traffic levels.

Akt notarialny actually.


No landlord, no balcony. Shows how much he knows, i.e. zero.

As I say, alcohol is to be avoided, especially by those unable to hold their drink.

Polonia / Polish bus crash in Croatia. Is there a fate? [229]

Main roads. That is where one sees long distance coaches. Plenty of people in good areas do use public transport though. Europe is not America where the transport is bad and everybody's afraid of each other.

Notorious deeds?

He doesn't understand much about the Polish privacy of culture if he posts title deeds to real estate here.

Dodgy. And drunk too.


Further proof he has no idea of where anyone lives and no way of finding out.

Polonia / Polish bus crash in Croatia. Is there a fate? [229]


Public transport should be the cheapest and most efficient option.


There are loads near us however to go to, say, Berlin, the train is a far better way than buses or driving and not much more expensive than the bus. Flying is better still even though the prices have rocketed.

We are discussing post-2004 Poles in London. We aren't talking about either Polish immigration policy (which you got spectacularly wrong since it doesn't (and legally can't) discriminate on the grounds of religion or about Trumpet fantasies..


I just did.

And you missed another apostrophe.

UK, Ireland / London is Poland's 24th largest city [85]


Exactly. Not an official at all and nothing to do with London either.


It isn't actually.

Remember, some of us work very 'unsocial' hours. And you missed the apostrophe in "it's".

Post-2004 Poles in London is an interesting phenomena; there was a TV soap about them. Did you watch it?

UK, Ireland / London is Poland's 24th largest city [85]


Who mentioned York?

London is a fine city. Try multicultural albeit less so than Los Angeles or New York.

The thread is BTW about Poles in London. Not your personal hysteria about religion.,


No, he wa never an 'official'.


From a prison cell?

UK, Ireland / London is Poland's 24th largest city [85]


No I don't. Poland doesn't 'refuse' anyone on the grounds of religion and there are several Mosques in Warsaw and more round the country.

I'm in the UK now and there are no Azans, no loudspeakers. That would need planning permission to do regularly and is highly unlikely to be allowed. Plenty of church bells though, including a very loud peal about 50 yards away. That is only allowed because it's been happening for several centuries; new peals of bells wouldn't be allowed now.

@Joker
Perhaps you could try to understand the issues you post about, other than scouring the internet for dodgy and inaccurate YouTube videos.

BTW, the person speaking on your video is not an 'official'.

UK, Ireland / London is Poland's 24th largest city [85]

Interesting that none of those who are moaning about London's diverse culture either live there, live elsewhere in the UK, or live in a big city at all.

Life / Life in Poland for Indians !!! [55]

A sad case story just above.

One who drinks alcohol but can't handle it.

In Poland, people are used to it. Indians less so, so be careful or you'll end up like the poster above.

Law / Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns? [1070]


A pointless statement, especially given the low levels of gun crime in Europe compared to across the Atlantic where people live in perpetual fear of strangers.
