Life / My take on Poland - My Top 10 [31]

Likewise here - if you ignore the people on the fringes of society, it seems very rare to see out and out wasted people. Compared to Ireland or the UK, Poland is remarkably sober.

According to a London Press Associated study showed us that 48% of Irish men, 40% of British men, 22% of Polish men and just 9% of French men binge drink at least once a week. The French drink 14.2 litres of pure alcohol a year, one of the highest in Europe. The difference being, they tend to take their time with their alcohol consumption and spread it out over an evening eating or what not. Where as we try to consume as much as possible in a short time frame.

Life / My take on Poland - My Top 10 [31]

To Wroclaw, yes I believe the selling of alcohol should be limited between 12 pm to 11 pm and only be made available through licensed outlets. It should be more expensive to.

I can only purchase alcohol from 11am to 10 pm and a six pack of half decent brand named beer costs me 10 euro (and thats cheap here!). Alcoholism is through the roof. The alcohol culture needs to be changed in some European countries, you wont do that by passing silly nanny state laws. I can walk into a shop at 9.55pm, clearly drunk, and purchase ten litres of whiskey. No issue. A lad finishes an evening shift and pops in after me to pick up a bottle of wine to unwind at 10.01 - thats against the law!

Look at Spain for examply, you can buy beer wherever you go and stay out clubbing for 24 hours if you want. Wanna beer with your McDonalds breakfast at 7am - no problemo! Alchol abuse is very rare. If you see someone clearly drunk, its usually a tourist.

Also, if you look at countries with a strong alcohol culture you will note that one theme remains consistent, that they all have harsh winters and or a lot of rain. Its a big factor.

UK, Ireland / Daniel Pelka murder: Polish mother and stepfather face life sentences [96]

It really is, man. Everyone agrees that child abuse is seriously wrong. But on the flipside, I've had conversations with people about the Catholic church child abuse scandals here in Ireland and the bbc child abuse cover ups. An element of 'ah sure, you cant catch them all' and 'there will always be child abusers' seaps into the conversation. As if people believe its just part of society and accept it as such.

Its very worrying. There are members of my current government who turned a blind eye to abuse of their own young family members, carried out by fellow family members. Covering up child abuse of their own kin ffs.

Children in Britain and Ireland have it better than 90% of kids across the globe - no mistake. But strives still need to be made.

The teacher questioned the mother about the kids constant hunger and she was fobbed off with the ould 'he has an eating disorder and is always hungry excuse'.

The mother was addicted to drugs and occasionally went on the game.

Heads will roll over this. Its mad to think that nobody stepped in and contacted social services. Especially after the nipper arrived into school sporting bruises and black eyes.

however, i'm not sure if they get sent to Poland.

Once she accepts the sentence and doesnt appeal - she is free to apply for repatriation and to serve her sentence out in Poland. If she decides to appeal, she cant apply for repatriation until the appeal process is fininshed.

The decision then rests with the home office, but repatriation is normally approved.

Im quoting from memory but it falls under EU legislation.

what's even sadder, is that no one wanted to get involved.

20, 000 kids under eleven were put on record for committing hate crimes in the uk in one year alone -

But they ignore a stick thin kid, sporting two black eyes and who was regularly caught robbing sandwiches and rooting through bins to find some scraps of food.

What a messed up system. How did these cretins run an empire? Its baffling.

UK, Ireland / No Welfare in UK unless You are Polish [31]

Not if you are not highly skilled and live in a small town with rather bleak job prospects. Apart from the welfare bit, signing on means you are assisted in finding a job (much like at the Jobcentre). So people in Poland do tend to sign on as early as possible.

We are both relying on anecdotal evidence here. Neither of us can be proved right or wrong.

I have seen rejection letters, yes. Quite a lot of them. But in my line of work I can't really provide any details on a public forum. The only thing I can say is that the rejections were not really justified from a strictly formal point of view.

Which can be appealed and an interview with a community welfare officer set up. No EU citizen will ever be blankly refused welfarein Ireland or the the U.K. None. They may have to wait a while to receive the free loot ormto be put on the housing lisr, but as the old adage goes - good things come to those that wait.

Admit it. This lad was fobbed off. If the roles were reversed the liberal media here would be going apesh*t and decrying it as a 'racial' act. Ffs - a Nigerian asylum seeking family are currently in the high court trying to sue my lily livered state for denying them welfare benefits. And I bet they will f*cking well win too.

Poland has the right idea - work or f*ck the f*ck off.

And the UK taxpayer will doubtless have to foot the bill for keeping them in jail, since they are unlikely to want to serve out their life sentences in a Polish jail.

UK, Ireland / No Welfare in UK unless You are Polish [31]

But actually, they do - almost. Not the next day, but around the next week... My son lost his job last Friday and he's already signed on again. The longer you leave it, the greater the chance you'll be denied benefit because the contribution periods or whatever won't add up any more.

Your son is not the only unemployed person on the planet. A lot of highly skilled people have lost their jobs since the economic crisis. In a lot of their cases, the welfare shop is the last port of call. Pride and ego.

You think so? I have heard numerous stories of temporarily unemployed Poles NOT getting JSA, even with all the correct paperwork presented and all that. No sh*tstorm ever ensued, somehow.

Lol. The U.K. and Ireland are global soup kitchens. They very rarely refuse a welfare payment to a foreigner with a sob story.

Unless you have evidence to show the contrary?

UK, Ireland / No Welfare in UK unless You are Polish [31]

So OK, it's not "immediately". My bad. That was the impression I got from the article. On the other hand, this means the guy left it for longer than I could have imagined.

But that is what I am saying. Its the norm. People do not go straight to the welfare office upon losing unemployment. For middle aged people, with kids and a mortgage - it is a massive shock to the system. It takes a while for them to get their papers in order. Others hit the bottle. Others think that they will find work asap and only sign on when savings start evaporating.

If Poland wants to refuse EU citizens welfare, I dont particularly have a problem with that. But if this happened to a high taxpaying Pole in the Ireland and the U.K. - it would be a media sh*tstorm for days. The Graniud and the Irish Slimes would be denouncing it as racial policy and the do gooders would be out in force. The Polish community here would go mental too and the r word would be uttered. A lot.

Do you remember the Pole on the Dole that thinks Donegals a Hole story? It would be like that. On crack.

Edit: Could he have been paid into his British bank account and paying his taxes to the Betty the German instead of the Polish state?

Show me an official document stating that. Surely it is in the governments interest for people to leave it a bit before signing on - they then dont have to pay for those weeks.

And what you mean by immediately? The end of the day? Within 24 hours? A week?

Did you read the article? He applied too late. If he had applied sooner, he'd have gotten his benefit.

He was fobbed off. When folk inexperienced with the welfare system lose their job, theydont go straight down to sign up for the dole. They go to their bank, try and meet old contacts to see if they have any employment opportunities, drown their sorrows with close pals etc.

After a few weeks and upon realising that they might not be earning again for a bit - they then go down to welfare.

He is a finance director 20 years of earning +100,000 GBP in Poland, why did he not invest his savings wisely, now he should be sitting on a sizeable nest-egg.

Kids from a previous marriage.

few hundred zloty a month for 6 months - that's all he would have got anyway, not worth the hassle.

There are tens of thousands of Poles on the dole in the Celtic Isles. Are you honestly telling me that when you lived in Poland and if you fell on hard times throughout that period- that you wouldnt be ****** if they refused to pay you a single zloty?

You would be on here hopping mad!

Love / I Love a Polish Girl (I'm from India) [28]

Visit her, or pay for her to visit you. In my experience, long term relationships dont mean much. Get to know each other before you commit. Before I met my current girlfriend and the mother of my son - I was a fiend for sending out a late night hail mary and telling a girl that I really liked her, so she should call around. Lol

You gotta meet this girl and see if its for real and not just lust. Meet up somewhere for a holiday, spend some time together and get to know each other personally. If you still feel the same about each, fcuking deadly - then take it to the next level. Plan from there.

If the spark is missing - that sucks. But at least you found out early, rather than attempting to build a life together based on facebook and skype. And you shall remain good friends. Nowt wrong with that.

Not one for internet dating and that lark, but if it works for yourself - bula bus.

Work / Under the table work in Warsaw and Krakow for 21y old Canadian female [7]

Game ball.

I think that this is the best option available to young north Americans who want to travel and work in the EU. Less chance of being exploited, to avail of hard fought rights and to actually enjoy your working experience. Under the table or illegal workers are treated poorly here. The establishment faces large fines if caught, so they are gonna exploit the fcuk outta ya. As I a business owner, knowledgeable in this, you can take my word for it. Just for the record - I would never hire an illegal and nobody whom worked for me has been on the minimum wage (8.65).I expect and only hire the best, so pay 10 euro + psri and all entitlements.

Canada and the US offer some EU citizens(mostly the old 15)a one year j1 or a two year whv. Canada the former and the states, the latter. If they opened it up to all 27, nay sorry, 28 member states, then the EU should introduce a visa were a Canadian or American college graduate could come here and work wherever freely for a 12-24 month period.

But the north Americans would have to open it up to all.

Why the hell do you want to come to Ireland? Unless you are highly skilled or a budding entrepreneur, then Ireland is not a place that you want to come to. If you are, yeah, then you could earn a decent crust.

I think western European countries should come together and show advertisements in countries in which they receive high levels of immigration from - to show that since the crisis hit, life here for new unskilled arrivals is very tough. Life for new arrivals here has changed. It aint like pre 2007 anymore. Where any lad could rock on up and have a minimum wage job or slightly better within 72 hours of landing.

I spent a week in Athens recently - and fcuk me pink. It was an eyeopener. And still lads from the bordering non EU nations pour in. Living conditions were absolutely atrocious for large swathes of the population. I normally wear designer clothes, but shunned them in favour of cheap shorts I picked up and soccer jersies. The poverty was unreal.

You have been refused a tourist visa to a schengen member - that would lead me to believe you are short of coin. You probably wouldnt get into Ireland or the U.K. either. Spend your money on education, skill up and then try and come here via the correct channels.

Thats my advice. Fortress Europe is slowly becoming a reality. Countries are slowly pulling the drawbridge up - for humanitarian reasons just as much as nationalist ones.

The Poles can be considered a lot of things - but lazy is not one of them. Lazy to not work for free, is not a bad trait.

Im not a fan of mass immigration from Poland. Read my previous posts. But anyway.....

We have an annual street clean up where I live. We polish the place, then have a bbq. Normally immigrants join in for the party and leave us to the work. Until last year. A group of Polish friends came to us and offered their services - What do you want us to do? Pardon me, says I. How we help?? You wanna help?

And they did help.

Its horrible what happened to the first nations peoples in North America. Especially in Canada. There are only one million of them left and some of them are whiter skinned than I. The true number is much lower. I think if you are of 1/16th native ancestry you get pigeon holed into native status. Alcohol and substance abuse is rife. As is suicide. Alcohol is a relatively new chemical, introduced to them by the white man. Our ancestors were supping the stuff for thousands of years, so we have a better tolerance for the swalloy. It sends them lala.

They have lost touch with the ways of old, become dependent on handouts and see modern society as victors over their own. I dont think integration,on a large scale, is possible. If I was in their shoes I would hate the white man too.

The best thing about living on these isles is the natural beauty,forests,lakes and countryside areas. The British population is going to continue to dramatically increase by tens of millions over the coming years. Unfortunately, the land wont expand. Their major cities that pull in most migrants are stretched to breaking point as is - they are going to have to choose - continued immigration and population growth, or save our green belt.

They wont be able to continue to have both.

Under Cameron, the Brits have clamped down on welfare tourists, non citizens trying to access social housing, students who wish to study English to circumvent immigration law and those who want to join their British citizen spouse. Merkel has come out and said that she is going to do everything in her power to kerb youth unemployment and the German drawbridge is being closed up. The last time youth unemployment was so high in Germany, we know what happened. So shes going to.throw the centre right a bone, cut down on immigration, get the youth back working and placate the fears.of rising German nationalism. Switzerland, unless you are skiled, is a closed shop. Spain and Greece - Jaysus good luck if you are an obvious ethnic. Ditto for Italy. Marie La Pen and generation identity are making massive gains in Hollaindaise sauces France.

Sweden and Ireland aint doing so well, but both are pussified beyond belief and have loads of empty apartments. They may take a few.

The west of Europe is slowly but surely.closing up shop. The middle east is a mess. A billion or so rural Chinese and people from the Indian subcontinent live on arlund a dollar a day. A few regions in Africa are doing ok. Namely Botswana and Nigeria. The rest is its usual self.

So what? The more the merrier for business owners. Ive heard of accession 8 nationals ,in Ireland and the UK,complaining about Romanians and Bulgarians undercutting them when they joined the EU.

Business wants a massive pool of cheap labour, one group undercutting another. Its a race to the bottom and the left cheerlead it. The left are all over the shop on immigration. They are nothing more than lapdogs for big business, slum landlords and the politicians.

There are billions of pwople in this world living on the equivalent of a dollar a day. The quangos and the left would happily fully open up our borders to them all. This is the future.
