News / Poland's Economy Is No Joke [63]


Watch the Polish news channels, its not fiction.


There are children not getting school dinners, hospitals on the brink of bankruptcy. It,s hardly the same as screaming about not having ENOUGH money. Theres NO money. So staff, ie. doctors and nurses are working without being paid.

Which Poland are you people looking at ?

Apart from the daily news channels, try watching " Magazyn ekspresu reporterow ", Tuesday 21.45.
" Sprawa dla reportera ", Thursday 21.00. And you will see and hear what is happening with your current affairs.

These were but examples, try reading news papers and speaking to higher intellectuals, maybe then your views may change. If not, it may at least improve your vocabulary.

I have eyes,ears and a brain like most people.
So I go amongst them, see and listen, then I use my brain.

Thats my source.
Maybe to convince you, I believe you would like me to produce a petition too.

Do you believe everything you read my friend ?

Does it have to be written ?

Does it have to be cast in stone ?

I assure you of my sincerity, but think.

THINK for yourself.

Pour yourself a wee dram of whiskey fellow and stop getting so worked up over nothing.

Truce; I,m not here to argue or wind you up. Calm down.

Its not just one issue I have seen, but many, otherwise I would not generalize. ( I,m a little too old for that ).

I also would like to stipulate that although I speak and understand the Polish language, I do not write, and have trouble reading it. Hence, when people here ask for links and statistics to back up my statements, I am not in the best position to comply.

However, I will endeavor.

This applies to the poorer classes, so has been common practice for some time.
Sorry I didn,t mention this before, but I did not realize just the fortunate few use PF.

UK, Ireland / A collection of noimmigration's threads or "STAY AWAY from BRITAIN" [978]


Unfortunately all foreigners will be tarred with the same brush, because of those few lazy b,s as you put it.

Many Poles in the UK, who migrated after ww2, and their offspring, now live with their heads hung low, for the shame that has been brought upon them by these few.

Acquaintances of mine have had it put to them, as, " your families coming here and ruining everything blah blah "........ They are not even related, but still they are victimized.

Having a Polish surname is now a stigma in British society.

Life / Do Polish People steal a lot? [330]


Are you paranoid ?

Whats that got to do with " do Polish people steal alot "

So hey everyone in the world, if you see a seller anywhere that happens to be from Poland, boycott them because " espastica " has a complex.

Law / Polish Cop Took My Car Registration :S [143]


I,m not 100 % on this, but I heard of cases where photo-copies of your passport were acceptable. ( as its identifying who you are ).

Just curious how the Polish police would deal with such a situation.

Poles working in the UK sent home an estimated £1.8billion last year.

Money Downing Street hoped might be ploughed into the British economy is instead financing a property and consumer boom in Poland.

The Polish Central Bank said the two million Poles who left home to work elsewhere in Europe sent home at least £3billion in 2007 via money orders and electronic financial transactions.

A leading Polish expert on migration has told the BBC that it is simply not true that half the Polish migrants in the UK have returned home.

A recent report estimated that at least half the 1.5 million eastern European migrants who have come to the UK since 2004 have returned home.

If using one of the insurers like the Prudential or Commercial Union,

Should be honored, being all one European union.

Law / Bureaucracy in Poland [53]

Magdalena: Absolutely no substance in your patriotic biased post.

The difference between UK and Polish bureaucracy is that in the UK you have competent employee,s.
In Poland you have family and close friends wormed into a closed-shop workplace.

One of many experiences I had, was on visiting a local tax office in PL. I posed a question to which I consider an answer should have been relatively easy to provide. After passing from one colleague to another, I suddenly realized I done the entire round, none the wiser.

I came to the conclusion that I was dealing with glorified telephone operators, as that seemed all they were capable of. ( reading between the lines, they could not even provide the callers with the information required.)

Educated with all the qualifications, but not for the right jobs.

I guess some people are afraid and are just happy to be employed.


I,m not talking about your three acquaintances and two friends. Besides, go and see for yourself how some of them live and if in fact what they are telling you is true.

I could not agree more, and I often question why a lot of Polish people live and let live. I wish they would be more forceful, instead of letting the hierarchy walk all over them.

That was only an example, I should have picked another profession.

Love / What should I wear for a POLISH WEDDING? My husband wears his kilt.. [11]

I suggest you also wear a kilt and as is with Scottish tradition...... no knickers.

On the serious side though, a party dress is the norm for women.

I also have a Polish friend practicing dentistry in Scotland for some time now, so yes, what your saying is correct.

Okay, so all five are doing well.

By the way, I am not anti-Polish, quite the opposite.

I noticed by your first post, but the thread is not false ( maybe you,ve taken it in the wrong context ).
I listed my experiences and therefore am asking a question. So its open to debate.
No offense intended.
