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

Generally comes from the Bank of England's coffers, which they receive from tax payers on behalf of the government. They flood money bank into the economy (loans to banks to cover their debts) in hope that we recover.

It's the most fecked up thing in the world. We put our savings into the bank, they feck up by using our savings to invest in things that have gone tits-up, so after they lose our money, then the government spends our taxes by giving the banks more of our money to covers the money the banks lost in the first place.

Was reading some articles about how this has been a scam from day 1. When people went into debt by borrowing money from the banks (which the banks didn't have) the banks repossessed their houses, assets ect. That way the banks could turn debts into fixed assets. Confusing as hell but something slimy about it.

There is an advert in the UK for Halifax at the moment. They are making a big song and dance about a new account in which they will "reward" us £5 a month for joining them....this being the bank which was plastered all over the news for the way they lost billions of savings by investing in crap. Also during the ad you can read the small print that states the only way you can join this super £5 a month reward account is when you give the bank £1000 in savings a month, or have a mortgage with them. OF COURSE the bank this time won't waste that money would they?!

If a company, by it's own actions, goes under nothing happens but Banks are treated differently, why?

Mainly cos the government owes the banks so much in turn. By bailing them out, they eventually own the fixed assets (property, land ect) via the banks debts. Unlike money, these assets follow a trend of becoming more valuable over time, while cash, exchange rates, shares ect can be influenced from forces outside governmental control. That's the theory anyway.

In laymen terms.
People of the country become richer (When labour came into power).
They buy houses and borrow large amounts of cash.
Banks lend cash that they "don't have" but borrow from other sources due to the fact people can afford to pay back loans ect.

Suddenly the bubble bursts, stock markets crash, banks go into debt due to their heavy lending and borrowing.
Banks put interest rates higher to get back more money, people cant afford to pay, so banks repossess their assets.
Government floods the economy by bailing out debts, Bank of England being a private institution recovers the "first" assets - property, land, ect. These are the only assets that stably increase through time.

They sell them again to get a return....next punters step up to buy them. And the cycle begins all over again.
Each time this cycle repeats, about 5% of borrowers have their assets seized either fully, or via re-mortgaging or other debt recovery services. This cycle can repeat in 5 years, 25 years or even 50 years, but each time a proportion of the countries assets are bought and re-sold again, but not by the people themselves, but by the banks.

In effect if you bought a house in the last financial boom, you have probably paid for it twice already, but you will continue to pay for many more times over with interest rates, re-mortgages and via tax bail outs to the banks.

Debt to us just mean owing money, debt to the means people owing them money, and that my friend is why the government is prepared to lend and borrow from the banks, cos they will get their cut;)

Sorry if I have bored anyone with my ranting :D

UK, Ireland / How to get a British phone chipped in Poland. [5]

Hey folk.

I'm planning on sending someone a present to Poland, it's a new Alcatel phone which has a Tesco pay as you go simcard. I was wandering how I would go about getting it chipped in Poland so that it would accept a Polish pay as you go sim, or even contract sim?

Any help would be great :)

UK, Ireland / How to get a British phone chipped in Poland. [5]

I thought that too, but wasn't sure whether or not to trust them as I know a few friends went their to fix their phones and got ripped off. But I guess the present is for a Polish lass so she can get it done ;)

Moreover I wondered if it would be difficult for them to do it with a British phone.

Life / Why do you choose to stay in Poland, why not other country? [152]

Largely because of my wife. If I wasn't with her, I'd likely be doing some other profitable work in Scotland. I miss my family and the growing up of my bro's wee son. Some who know me are shocked that I am still here.

Think I'd have stuck around for longer. I'm kinda calling this wee stay in Ireland a "holiday".

Study / Medical Study in Poland [22]

This University has a very good reputation.

Foreign students get to use the new multi-million pound medical complex, while the Polish get shoved in the crappy building at the back. That place is a rip off like. Though great for foreign students :)

Life / Internet without TPSA (The Telecommunication of Poland Corporation) [11]

This is very common with TPSA.

A few years ago I got Neostrada into my flat, phone, internet ect. When I move to a new place I asked at the shop could I cancel the contract, or switch it to my new address. They said if i cancelled it I would have to pay them for the rest of the contract, so I asked them to install it into my new place. A month after moving in, and several tech's from them later they still couldn't get it up and running. I told them that I would cancel as it clearly wasn't working and I could find an internet company that would work in that flat. They went mental, saying that cos I moved into a new address that I had to pay for a further years contract if i wanted to cancel the 3 months left on the current one. After I explained that this was the most stupid thing i've ever heard, and that if they wanted to press me for more money even when they charged me for a service they couldn't provide, for upto 2 years later I continued to receive bills plus extra's for not paying. When I finally broke luckily I met a friend who is a lawyer and he sorted it out.

TPSA had control of the market for such a long time that they think that they can charge and do what they want. Even when their service is sh1t compared to other companies.

My advice is to stay way clear of those bandits, commie company with commie rules IMO.

Law / residence visa stamp (Asian girl with a Polish husband) [9]

If moving to the UK a proof of residency would be your PESEL number, doesn't need to be on your passport as long as you have it.

UK customs are still trying to get me to give them mine, though technically I don't have one;) So it's round in circles for them :)

UK, Ireland / Time for the Poles from the UK to go home [437]

We could purchase one with the savings we would make by cancelling the dole payments to the Poles and other various leeches.

Or with the cash that Europe lines your pockets with?

Importing 200-250,000 relatively impoverished coffee makers into a small nation of 4,000,000 relatively wealthy people, is and remains to be, insane.

At least it will make the people better looking in the long run.

UK, Ireland / Time for the Poles from the UK to go home [437]

are they represent a whole spectrum of the population or rather not? I mean these who want to send us in rocket to some distant EE

If they are Revoke's neighbours then u can bet they're from the lower end of the spectrum...or rectum.
