UK, Ireland / Female health in Britain - Polish view [105]

Engerland

unfortunately has about 4000 young women a year who develop precancerous or cancerous cells under the age of 25.

The rest of the UK,

has decided that the extra cost of screening this age group is worth it.

England seems to have the "Philip Morris" view on cancer research.

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

Witamy w Szkocji - a wee message from Scotlands Government and its First Minister, Alex Salmond.I dont believe there is a London government version of this or anything of its type.

szkocja.eu/sitppolish/58.html

One example of how Scotland promotes stronger links with Poland.

I dont think this has been posted before- its a website for Poles living in Glasgow.

Love / Scottish & Polish relationships [229]

To Scotland or to Britain?

For Scotland - the idea of "Britain" is alien to many.

do they look towards Gordon Brown or Alex Salmond?

Alex Salmond has achieved fantastic things in Scotland within the remit of the Scottish government - I can't wait until we get full independence.

News / Polish scientific breakthrough - breast cancer [8]

collecting the data at least 10 years ago.

Thats what I thought.

Its great that Polish scientists are working on this and its great to appreciate the work they are doing - but lets keep it in perspective.

Every little helps as they say, hopefully we are getting closer.

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

A man, a husband and a soldier died, a very sad and a tragic story.

You forgot about the wife who was sexually humiliated/tortured and sodomised then killed by four marines.

last name which is accidentally Polish

His last name was an accident ? How so ?

News / Polish-American soldier and his wife murdered by four marines [163]

Why is it that every time a group of Marines plan and carry out a gang rape, sodomy and murder, some people act so surprised ?

i would hope they get judged to the fullest extent of the law!

The usual for marines involved in this activity is parole after 10 years - less if you dont kill the victim afterwards.

Get to the back of the bus

By early 2009 more than 55 such lines were operating around Israel. Typically, women are required to enter through the bus back doors and sit in the back of the bus, as well as "dress modestly.

UK, Ireland / Work/Trade Unions in UK - thinking about joining one [9]

A lot depends on the Union representative and how hard they will work for you.
A lot of reps are in it for themselves and a few end up with cushy management jobs on the backs of their members.

On the whole Unions have no power.

Dont forget that a lot of Unions donate substantial amounts to the Labour government.
They aren't likely to rock the boat/gravy train.

UK, Ireland / Brits to protest against foreigners in the workforce, including Poles. [289]

factory owners and other big fishes in the UK;

Talking of big fishes.....last Thursday in a small wester ross harbour - a French boat emptied 22tons of Scottish Monkfish in to a French lorry heading for Paris, next day a Spanish trawler had 23 tons of Scottish fish. The fish didnt even touch the ground.

Point being - this is the EU - swings and roundabouts.

UK, Ireland / Warning to British people visiting Poland!! Don't get drunk and smash the place up! [447]

the majority.

The majority of people who were forcibly evicted, were done so by agents of the Marquess of Stafford. Notoriously in Strathnavar and the strath of Kildonan.These agents were usually employed from outside the Highlands and yes, they were Scottish.

With the enforced destruction of clan structure a few chiefs ( to their shame ) evicted their clansmen, most notably the MacDonald in Skye and MacDonnel of Glengarry.

Scots who perpetuated

Not wishing to be a garmmar nazi but.......these crimes were perpetrated, it is the Westminister Government which perpetuated the clearance ( battle of the braes, Lord Brocket, men of knoydart etc ).

Interesting that the population of the Highlands is only now reaching the levels it was pre-clearances.
