News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1158]

A rightist PiS sponsored weekly calls for Polexit - leaving the EU by Poland.

Good move.
Check out how the UK economy is doing compared to France, Italy and even Germany since Brexit!
The EU was good for Poland in early years as it was a nett recipient.It is soon about to become a nett contributor........time to bail out!

Why did early Slavs build their huts partly sunk into the ground?

To protect them from wind?

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

Are Ealing and Acton still. big centres of Polishlife in London?

When the Polish government in exile came to London they based themselves in Kensington and Hammersmith,which still has some top class Polish restaurants and the Polish cultural centre called POSK.My dad bought a large house in Kensington in 1968 which had been converted into nine bedsits.Most of the tenants were Polish war veterans and were overjoyed to get a Polish landlord.

When most of the Polish war veterans reached London after the war,Kensington and Hammersmith were getting a bit expensive,so they opted for Shepherds Bush and Acton.Those that could afford it moved to more leafy Ealing.My extended family was drawn to Willesden,largely because it had an Irish Catholic church that ran Polish masses on Sundays.My dad bought our first family house in nearby Cricklewood in the mid fifties(He had only been in England since 1947!)

By 1964 he had decided that the area was going downhill and we moved to Harrow Weald.Closely followed by many of my parents family and friends.

When Poland joined the EU in 2004, Acton and Ealing had become too expensive and the Poles centred on nearby Greenford.They soon spilt over into nearby Sudbury and Northolt and also a bit to Wembley and Harrow.

As an aside, nearby Kingsbury was very Jewish when I was a kid but as the Jews got wealthier and moved out, the Indians moved in and as the Indians got wealthier and moved out, the Poles moved in!

es, but you're a suburbanite.

Guilty as charged!

I've known many Londoners who consider anyone from places like Harrow to be pretty much country cousins :)

I am sure that is still the view of many Londoners.If it doesn't have a London postcode it's not really London!
But that is to ignore the fact that London has vastly grown in the last 50 years.
I live in the borough of Harrow which in 1965 ceased to become part of the Middlesex administration, we have London tube stations and London red double decker buses.Plus we are now in the "London Borough of Harrow".

I may live in the leafy suburbs, but this is now part of London.

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

There are younger ones here too that followed and kids that were born here.If I see three generations of a white family walkng down the street I would always bet they were Polish and win 3 out of 4 bets.......... ;-)

Life / Life in Poland for Indians !!! [40]

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

In my experience Indians cannot hold their drink and yet they prefer spirits to Beer and wine......

Alcohol does terrible things to weak and unstable people.

Most of the alcoholics I have known were not East Europeans but Indians...........

As the only Londoner on this forum, I think I know London better than all off you.

There are now more Muzzies than Christians it should really be renamed Londionstan.

Sorry mate, you may be my friend but I still have to call you out when you are wrong and you are wrong.The "Muslim takeover of London" has been very much overstated and exaggerated,especially by Americans.

Interesting that none of those who are moaning about London's diverse culture either live there

Very good point.I live here and I know the reality.

Londionstan

An overused Americanism.London is multicultural but not dominated by Muslims.It depends on what part of London you go to,some areas are Jewish, some Greek,some Turkish, some Polish you get all sorts in this huge city!

I'll be never be able to think of Richmond as anywhere but Surrey.

Strange,as a lifelong Londoner I have always regarded Richmond as even more London than Harrow or Wembley,given it's proximity to central London and the constant aircraft noise from planes landing at Heathrow!!

I spent a couple of weeks in July doing some stuff by Wembley Park. It felt like Dubai with all the 20 story buildings and crowds everywhere.

My warehouse was(Still is, though I know longer own it) on the Wembley Industrial Estate close to Wembley Stadium and Arena.This area has changed beyond all recognition! It was always a very mixed race area with many Black and Asian people but when I was young the white population were dominant,mainly British, Irish and Jewish.When Idi Amin kicked the Indians out of Uganda that all changed.Most of the refugees came to Wembley and Harrow.The result was that Wembley became largely Hindu Indian and then the war in Sri Lanka brought many Tamils to Wembley too.The Indians and Tamils are mainly Hindus though many Tamils are Catholic.We don't get any problems from either of these groups.If you look across the disgusting Wembley High Road you will see many dark skinned faces, both Asian and Afro Caribbean, but most of these people were British born and bred.Wembley also has a very large Polish and East European population, besides the Poles, there are many Romanians,Bulgarians and Slowaks.Which means we have some amazing food shops here!

As for the building work, it is unbelievable!They have turned this area into a mini New York but done nothing to improve roads for the inevitable increase in traffic!

The only big downside to the area are the Somalians........mainly lazy,not working or doing minimal work......and there are quite a lot of them.....

Ealing Road is "Little India" with loads of Indian shops selling clothes,jewelry and food plus restaurants.There is a small mosque at the top of Ealing Road and a large Hindu Temple at the bottom of it.

I think Wembley is a blast! But I couldn't live there..............Luckily I live in a suburb that is much quieter than Richmond or Hampstead but still with a tube station and red double decker buses,that is to say, still in London!

Travel / Poles as tourists in foreign countries [93]

Racism has no skin color.

You missed the sarcasm in my post.
Racism does not have a skin colour as you said.
It works in many directions.But most people only see white on black racism which is ridiculous!
I know West Indian blacks who hate African blacks......who may be their family.........racism is a sad,pathetic,joke!

So you aren`t able to guess

I guessed right.If you aren't a Communist then you can't have a proper political group.Left of centre,Liberal and Social democrat are meaningless terms.

Wishy Washy nothingness.
You are a lefty nobody then.

You know nothing about PiS and their actions here and are only opposing me coz I am against nasty rightists

You are wrong in the first part of your comment.I know all about PIS, both the good and bad.They are very disfunctional but some of their decisions have been spot on.

And the fact that you call "Rightists" nasty says all I need to know about a Socialist like you.
