UK, Ireland / Sad life of a Polish migrant in the UK. Ch. 5 - Racism [259]


Celts, Norse, latterly Irish in the 19century and English in the 20th century.


The largest city in the Highlands has just over 5% of its population as Polish alone (Polish ambassador visited two days ago ). This populastion is set to increase as the recession comes to an end.

UK, Ireland / Sad life of a Polish migrant in the UK. Ch. 5 - Racism [259]

I am glad to see people start to differentiate between England, Britain and Scotland.
Scotland has a different culture and a different national identity.

Scotland has a fair share of idiots the same as any other country but as a whole, I would say Scotland is less racist.

This can be evidenced by the Scottish Government initiatives such as Szkocja Twoim Miejscem.
If anyone can evidence anything similar from the London Government I would be interested to see it.

Scotland has a Nationalist Government.
Compare the inclusive policies of the Scottish National Party to the policies of the British National Party.

Kysia - Have you been to Scotland ?

UK, Ireland / Fish and chips - do Polish people in the UK like this? [108]


Dont think I have. There are a couple of Ashvales on the A96 route.


Dont rate it at all - and its overpriced.


I call it a "chipper" too but it seems that further south its called a "chippy".

This is putting me in the mood for a White Pudding supper.

Ahhhh...the Ashvale Whale.....

Regarding the Christmas Carp -

i) How do you get it home from the shop ?
ii) How long do you have to go without bath before Christmas?

Life / Polish stereotypes of other nationalities!? [472]


Theyre OK when the Rohypnol wears off ! ;-)

News / Mass immigration to Poland - article and response [479]


That is a stunning statistic !
I didn't think it could be true but it appears to be so, certainly for Oslo.

History / Weapons of WWII (Poland and other countries) [239]

ME 163 and ME 262 were well advanced for the period although largely ineffectual.

The Wonderwaffe were developing some amazing weapons - infra red guidance systems, air defence missiles, missiles launched from submarines etc etc

and of course...die glock !

News / Do Poles in Poland really feel betrayed because there won't be any US Shield? [288]


Some thoughts are best kept to youself.


If he hid in France for 30 years Poland would forgive him.

News / Poland's fight against paedophilia [277]


So if Ireland has a population of 6 000 000. That comes out at around 0.1% of the population.
If 3% of crimes are committed by these people, that means they are 30 times more likely to offend...hmmmmmmm

I am also available to help with tax returns, expenses claims etc etc ;-)

Love / Polish girls attitudes towards sex. [568]


.........in his own imagination.........

News / Poland's fight against paedophilia [277]


In the absence of hard facts lets do some research of our own...


OK, so as a % of the population, how many people in Ireland are in the religious profession ?

Law / CHINESE TO BUILD POLISH ROADS.... [92]

Dunno about roads but they are very good at building walls apparently.

News / Poland's fight against paedophilia [277]


Why not ? I can't see what the argument against it would be.

By the way, they have already found a food that reduces a womans sex drive by 90%.

Its called a wedding cake.

News / Poland's fight against paedophilia [277]

So what happens when the sex offender is a woman ? As we saw in the UK earlier this week with the teacher fiddling with a 15 year old.

Inject her tounge with Lignocaine ?

News / US to deploy Patriot missiles to Poland [404]

No missiles in Poland !

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8260230.stm - Obama backs off

The US will shelve its controversial plan to build a defence system in Poland and the Czech Republic after a review of the threat from Iran.

Looks like the US will be looking to Iran to win the Afghan war for them...............again.

Law / The Euro, is it a good idea for Poland? [66]

Pegging your currency to the Euro makes economic sense as it will be less vulnerable in a global market.

It is bad news for domestic retail as prices will go up just like they have done in every other country with the Euro.

Bad news for tourists too.

History / WOULD EUROPE BE SAFER IF ŚLĄSK, SCOTLAND ET AL WERE FREE? [22]

England ?

History / WWII - who really was the first to help Poland? [901]

....... and if more support was given to the Spanish Republic, Hitler would never have invaded Poland.

History / WWII - who really was the first to help Poland? [901]

It could be argued that the French were the first with the Saar offensive.

Love / SHE'S 25, HE'S 85 (Polish actor Andrzej Łapicki) -- ANY FUTURE? [82]

Reminds me of Anne Nicole Smith who married an 89 year old billionaire - he died about a year later - probably with a big smile on his face.

Life / Price of cigarettes in Poland? [192]

Allegedly, there are people that have fag rounds in the same way you get milk or paper rounds. Put your order in and every Friday you get a knock on the door and there is a man with your 200 fags. £30 a pop and everyone is happy.

( Disclaimer - There is no way I would condone this behaviour and I do not know of anyone who partakes in this behaviour )

Life / Things that annoy you in Poland. [114]

I had to read the opening post twice - I wasn't sure whether you meant these things happened in Poland or UK.
Very similar problems wherever you go.

Apart from maybe Japan with the trains.

Law / What can I do with 250000$? [33]

While you ponder the above suggestions with what to do with your $1/4mil, it might be worth noting that the banks that were bailed out by the taxpayer in the not too distant past are now posting profits.
