News / British schoolboys very sensibly dealt with by the Poland's authorities after theft in Auschwitz [45]


Although I might have worded my post a little more politely, your statement got me riled. And my in-laws' father didn't live to be 90 or whatever, so congratulations to yours.......... The whole family would have ended up there and dead if the local station master hadn't tipped them off so they could flee.

We have such camps to remind us that we are all the same.
That is why we rightly have the United Nations High Commission for Refugees 1951 Act, that refugees, once they land on this continent, can't be sent back to a war zone. Poles of all people would do well to remember that.

And how does my opinion reflect on your consideration of "My ignorance of life"? You posted an outlandish opinion, albeit often voiced, about a World Heritage site, which is sacrosanct for millions, whether they be Jews, Poles, Germans, Roma etc etc etc etc............................... That's nothing to do with "looking back." That is that generations' lost ones, and you can be sure that Auschwitz will stand as a warning for our age. The same ethnic cleansing happened in Rwanda, Darfur, and Bosnia, and you think that Auschwitz should be demolished?

To be replaced by what? Smart Krakow dormitory town housing developments. Maybe discos?

I refer you to my earlier post. I think you have an ulterior motive here. At the very least you sound like an apologist for these boys' actions.


I totally agee, when schoolchildren go on school curriculum tours. In very bad taste, and the children should not be exposed to such. Adults only.

It's called inheritance - and yes, a lot of the British aristo are dim-witted. I am shocked that it is news to you :)


It's pretty dark as far as I can see. But, unlike Kaczynski, I don't think the sun shines up my arse :)))


Palpable nonsense. Ask my father in law and others whose nearest and dearest died there.

The most disrespectful post of the year award. Congratulations.

Don't know if that is a joke. Here in Poland an inflated price is always put on things. Some light at the end of the tunnel only emerges later after tedious haggling.

News / British schoolboys very sensibly dealt with by the Poland's authorities after theft in Auschwitz [45]


Yes - although it was a silly mistake made by schoolboys...I made a few stupid mistakes myself as a schoolboy and look where I am now..................

Oh wait............ in cavernous Dougpol Mansions on the windy Baltic in minus 5, with only dog and Budweiser for company....
So I see what you mean.

By that token, the parents are doing what any parent would try to do - protect their child's interests. I was going to say that nobody died - but that would be wholly inappropriate in the circumstances.

Just over zealous schoolboys. That place definitely does have a deep effect on the psyche and once was more than enough. Today, all of us get to leave Auschwitz after a couple of hours, and we must never forget.

I think the Polish authorities are being pedantic here - they should simply log the change of plea, find them guilty in abstentia, and issue a statement that such behaviour will be thelegal responsibility of the school, and then move on.

But Polish lawyers (aka the establishment) have to heat their countryside spoiling villas, so the ridiculous merry-go-round has to turn as you said Dolno.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

What a very silly post Polonius. We know you live in the paranoid States, but even there people poke fun at their politicians. Even in the bars of Moscow, people openly call Putin a ****. My drinking pal is from Moscow and he knows this for fact.

Nothing to see here.

News / British schoolboys very sensibly dealt with by the Poland's authorities after theft in Auschwitz [45]


Again, bang on.


They were punished, and their names would have been reported in the UK press. This is why daddy wants them exonerated.
Whoever daddy is - money wont help here, and the families are obviously stupid to go back on the acceptance of a caution and fine.

News / British schoolboys very sensibly dealt with by the Poland's authorities after theft in Auschwitz [45]

Absolutely - but the British moneyed classes are dim-witted stay away parents - and nanny didn't think it was her place to tell Harry how to behave.....

PS people shouldnt be admitted before the age of 17 - first Matura year. Earlier than that, their minds can't take in the gravitas of the location.

Cough.

My thread title was " British schoolboys dealt with sensibly by authorities in Oswiecim.."

Typically, it seems that the boys are now going to be prosecuted. Apparently British advisors advised them to change their plea to not guilty to theft, and now the Poles are going to charge them with theft from a war protected site.

They have already been punished, and shamed.

Absolutely pathetic, and the prosecutors need something...... (DISCLAIMER: the word I'm thinking of also starts with an S - but is a colloquial term and not be taken literally)

How much are the girls asking, and do they have pleasant rooms?

But they weren't. The interviewer absolutely owned him.

Mmm - I very much resent this silly extra holiday, because I'm a freelancer and it's restraint of trade.

kpc21 - are you a writer? If not - you're in the wrong profession.

The Bielsko Biala chap who started those Polish guidebooks is now a multi-millionaire...... is not you is it? :)

Travel / How to go to Frankfurt from Poland? [16]


No. Berlin - Katowice is the international link. Anyway, from Frankfurt travel to Gorlitz on the Polish border (near Dresden) and then take the Wroclaw train. You can travel the cheapest way by rail ( stopping trains) It will take you a long time though!

Life / All Things Christmassy in Poland [281]


3 days ago :) I agree that America (and the rest of the western world) have it the wrong way round.

In Britain Christmas is over at 12 midnight today :)

Life / All Things Christmassy in Poland [281]


I know Polonius. I know. I get sick of the bloody tree after New Year, but the lady of the house so wishes that it stays 'til said date. Terrible:(

Feedback / Why are threads deleted or send off topic list? [60]


Sorry but it you MODS who are ignorant Vincent, who tolerate posters such as Crow, while subjectively binning threads that are of value to people who LIVE IN Poland.

It's not so hard to grasp after all, even for you I would have thought.

All IMO.

Feedback / Why are threads deleted or send off topic list? [60]


Absolutely. Bone ignorant, whoever they are. And definitely PIS sympathisers, when MODS should obviously, like journalists, be on the fence.

Life / All Things Christmassy in Poland [281]

So then - Merry Christmas folks from a green and very pleasant 13 degrees celsius Katowice :)

News / Should Poland exit the EU immediately? [377]

The BBC interviewer absolutely destroyed Duda there. He looked a clown and tried to play the "economical with the truth" card, but she marked that card for him.

Poor, must do better! Clearly admitted to being racist and agreeing with Kaczynski's xenophobia.

Life / All Things Christmassy in Poland [281]


Lucky you! Disgusting muck. I would rather starve. Now, some perch or pike, then you're talking. 4 types of fish on the Dougpol table tomorrow - none of them remotely as tasteless as carp.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]


Nah. Three audits in two years under them last time. Not one zloty could they rule as mis-appropriation.
Of course every small business could make a mess of something or misunderstand the rules. This time around the scum seem to have other fish to fry, but I expect they will get round to consoling themselves with bothering the small man when they realise that their unworkable socialist ideals will not become reality.


Then I am in good company aren't I? The PIS justice minister does nothing but repeats himself.
He is still banging on as we speak live on TVN about his version of democracy in the Senate and running endless 5 minute rants about the last governments' supposed criminality. The man has a screw loose and really should be in a state sponsored home.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]


Well, it is true that Hungary, and now Poland, like to bite the hand that feeds them.

Their rabid nationalism will come back to **** them both in the ass.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

The western media can see the situation for themselves, for they have been to school.

Nobody needs to badmouth Poland. The Poles are doing it all by themselves. Aren't you watching the Senate proceedings right now?
Your Justice minister is mouthing off like a rabid dog. You couldn't make it up. An embarrassment doesn't even come close to defining him.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]


Pretty much guaranteed that most PO voters have crossed over to Nowoczesna. If a snap election were held tomorrow it would be a close thing. Of course PIS would still win, because the opposition hasn't regrouped. But within the year, the writing will be absolutely on the wall for this dictatorial mob, hopefully with most of the most able PO people like Neumann joining the show .

The long term futures' bright with opposition to PIS every single step of the way.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

I am watching the Justice minister speaking in the Sejm. Am I alone in thinking this man is actually dangerous in his rhetoric and could in fact be not right in the head?

They would not allow opinion if they could and would censor this forum and everything else.

I can easily see them trying to ban KOD demonstrations for example - so we really should be ready for street demonstrations as in communist times, and get back to boxing and circuit training to protect ourselves from these thugs. That's certainly what I will be doing in the New Year.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]


PIS.....

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]


Because their socialist policies would hurt my pocket.


That's what I'm talking about. What an idiotic response.
So all Poles who don't like Cameron should **** off then, to fit your argument. I should leave my business and hard work, and friends and family - just to indulge this xenophobic scum.? Yeah, sure.

No, I am going to fight them.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]


I mean anti-humanist, selfish, nationalistic right wing morals, allied with communist style inducements and threats, that clearly wont work today. The communists had the IMF pay for their ridiculous foolery. PIS would have the ordinary working people paying for their nonsense.

And I and millions of others are not having it.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]


There are plenty of ways to obstruct this criminal gang of anti-business fools.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]


Because your PIS gang have just voted for dictatorial powers, enlarging the Tribunal to 15/18, and signing of by the president tomorrow, with no cooling off period or DEBATE. Do you understand the word democracy?

This inflames the situation, unless the population doesn't care of course. I think they do, and I expect the opposition to obstruct at every turn.

We shall see. Yes, I'm aggressive, if you care to call anger that.
