Dirk this thread is about the independence day march - nothing to do with Muslims and all to do with these guys wanting to celebrate 100 years of independence.

I think it's a terrible decision and like everything else connected with this Independence Day it's taking about three days before the event which leaves double the number of problems.

If the problem is security then the organisers should have to pay the costs and they should be an alcohol ban

But the second part of her reasoning about having enough of aggressive nationalism is out of line. Even if it's true and these people are morons they still have every right to be out on the street.

Dirk you better put those warm socks on Allegro before it's too late!

Yes I was there ! foolishly I had decided to arrange a meeting in Berlin on that day - I think I arranged it just before that semi finals with Brazil. I literally could not get out of my hotel in Potsdamer Platz

It most certainly is not the biggest display of patriotism in Europe - many national football matches, sports events, historical parades and royal events attracf far more spectators.

What is is however is the biggest gathering of insecure young males with addiction problems and authority issues anywhere between Łódź and Siedlce.

Why don't gay parades have a place in Poland ? We either have free speech or we don't

The football hooligans have every right to march but so do the gays. I know which one is going to lead to more violence and anti social behavior

Dammy - Rich is probably not Polish, has probably never been to Poland, I have no idea how much his experience is with women in general but you can see by the amount of time he spends on the site abusing people that he does not have a very active social life.

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

Dolno - there has been that split for 15 years but what is different now is that the towns in the east and the small towns in the west are not voting for PiS.

As a result there is a huge gap growing between the political views of those people who pay taxes and employ people and those that do not - it is very dangerous for the country and neither of the political sides is doing enough to fix this issue.

I think there are quite a lot of people who are happy with the policies of PiS but are put off by the links with the church and the vindictiveness and propaganda

It is the literal opposite of civic minded since it forces many of the citizens to avoid their own city and none of the citizens representatives wants to be associated with it.

This thread goes round and round but two logical points not mentioned

. Surely Russia should also owe reparations for the 1939 invasion ?

. Will future generations of Iraqis be able to claim reparations from Poland for its part in the illegal invasion ?

Spike I agree that it is grassroots and of course you have every right to march. I do think thoigh that if undesirable elements from all over Europe attend then the organizers must pay for the policing costs.

I don't think you will have any problems even if you don't speak Polish. Not sure you would be actively welcomed either but you won't be the only foreign person there.

She already gave a more sensible answer than you will get here - she has not met or talked to you and so needs some time to think about it.

I presume those Portuguese are Goans who are entitled to a Portuguese passport - only those who were there when Portugal still ruled it (india invaded it in the late 60si think).

So even if you don't like them they have the same right to be in the UK as the many Britain to have settled to retire in Portugal.

Out of interest if you object to these guys why do you employ them? Surely you are exacerbating the problem? I'm not getting at you - just genuinely interested to hear your logic on that.

But shouldn't the impact be to make Poles think deeply about what 100 years of independence means ?

In fact the true impact will be to trigger libtards - most of whom will have left town as they have better things to do than witness a homoerotic firework display by provincial football hooligans

News / Polish Independence Day March in Warsaw. Is it going to be the biggest march yet? [1530]

Right so now I get it - I thought it was a proud celebration of Polish independence but really it's an event to "trigger libtards". The same libtards who have to foot the bill for its policing.

Love / Polish girl confusing me [22]

totally irrelevant and unhelpful comment from a man who knows plenty about women given he spends every night in a basement being paid to post drivel.

I agree with everyone above - you can either pay her rent or pay her the cost of the groceries and the czynsz. Of course if you end up marrying her you will eventually be a de facto joint owner of the place. If you tell her you want to live for free then you probably wont end up getting married.

Spike being as you are 100 percent Yorkshire let me describe this rally - imagine all the top boys from Leeds, Sheffield We'd, Sheffield United and whatever other struggling teams you have there meet up for a day and instead of fighting each other they drink together and sing songs about Tommy Robinson. They spend precisely zero time thinking about the independence movements.

Yes - but the condition is that you must pay it on time. That means sending bank confirmation to your accountant.

Latvian growth was strong in 2017 - 4.5 percent. I left it out because I don't know much about the place, only visited a few times.

In what ways are the Baltic's outperforming the Visegrad countries ? in GDP growth - which was my response to Maf"s argument that only Germany and Holland benefit from the Euro.

Any more for any more ?

I know it does not fit many alt right narratives but the Euro despite its ups and downs is a credible currency, attractive for investors and while subject to political interference it is only to the same extent as the dollar or the pound. Neither it, nor the EU will collapse any time soon and if you are a mid size European nation you should get used to that idea.

Of course if you are a Russian troll then no amount of evidence is sufficient for you. You only have to tick off that you have mentioned some dude is a Native American and you are eligible to use the more expensive coffee machine.

Not backed by facts at all - both Italy and Spain have had perfectly respectable growth in the last few years.

bbc.com/news/business-43055887

The Eurozone overall has strongish growth in the last few years and is certainly on a far better track than the UK. The countries new to the Euro - Slovenia, Lithuania, Estonia are far outperforming Poland, Czech and Hungary.

It is of course not perfect but a far better bet than the zloty, pound, kuna or any of the national alternatives in Europe at the moment. Which is why in Warsaw if you want to finance something big like a road or an office block or a new factory then all the discussions are in Euro, even with Polish banks.
