History / What proportion of the Polish population collaborated with the Nazis? [125]

Do you regard Poles conscripted into in the German Army during that period as collaboration?

For many Poles in the Warthe Gau post 1939 ("West Prussia'), conscription was their fate.

Life / Gypies/Indian-looking women with kids beg for money in Poland [143]


In the Nowy Miasto in Warsaw the 'Indian-looking women' (Romany or Bulgarian beggars?) are found deliberately holding their kids in the rain to try to elicit undeserved sympathy from the tourists. There are groups of them in the alleyways near the Zamek Krolewski. On the main Warsaw tram routes a variant of the 'Indian looking' beggar's practice is that you will find their youths 'singing' a tuneless racket to try to gain a few groszy, in between tram stops. It is bad news if you are sitting at the front of the tram a mere few feet away from the vocal chords of those unwanted 'singers'. The beggars have 'Minders' who in return for bussing them in to the tourist centres, rake off a traditional tithe of Shekhels from their organised gangs of scroungers.

Other beggars comprised of hatchet-faced scrawny womenfolk walk the circuit around the Barbykan and castle walls 'pan handling'. Again with 'Minders' to try to ensure that the beggars do not get a citizen's arrest, and to warn them if the tourist police are nearby.

For those beggars who , rather than beneficially contribute to Europe; 'acting the helpless social parasite' beats doing a productive hard days graft to try to earn a living in a factory, farm or other work context appropriate to their limited capabilities .

"Do Polish men find African American women attractive?"

Yes they are attractive to flies.

Love / Good looking Polish women with ugly men [416]


That could explain the depressing sight of a Polish woman on my last BA flight from Warsaw to London who was with an ugly "British" Indian and a spawned gaggle of queer-looking mestizos.

Mind you, the polish woman was more Anne Summers plastic inflatable than good looking.

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

WWII - who really was the first to help Poland.

The Danzig corridor towns were the first to fall under German invasion. My father's home town was captured by the invaders within 30 minutes of WW2 starting.

Afterwards a bizarre helper of the resident Poles in the Danzig corridor was Gauleiter Albert Forster who provided a lifeline for many Polish families by allowing them to register as 'Volks Deutsche' which enabled many Poles to avoid deportation and to survive the worst of the disgusting butchery of the Hans Frank regime in the rest of German occupied Poland.

Food / Does beer have any "real" expire date? [39]

Beers do have an expiry date.

If the beer has been filtered through a diatomaceous earth pre-coat filter to 'polish' it prior to bottled (and most 'factory beers' are polished with pre-coat filters to take out excess yeast particles), any soluble iron (Fe) leached from the filter-aid promotes the formation of tannins inside the packaged product.

If in a bottle, exposure to sunlight acts to catalyse tannin formation in beer - one reason why traditional tasty high yeast content beers have to be put in coloured/dark glass bottles. In contrast the factory lager beers have been polished to such an extent (ie filtered to remove yeasts and other particulates almost to the extent that the beer flavour is removed), that lager beers take longer to expire.

In non-technical terms the beer will taste 'off' if expired due to the ageing of the yeasts and soluble iron-induced oxidation and promotion of tannins. To keep packaged beers fresher for longer - keep them cold and in the dark !

Classifieds / Where to buy Polish Beer wholesale in UK? [152]

There are so many excellent Scots, English and Welsh beers.

It is environmentally damaging ** to ship continental beers to Scotland when there are excellent indigenous brews made nearer to hand.

Real Estate / Neighbourhoods in Warsaw - how safe? [23]


Nice try 'jonni', deliberately shortening a statement to change the context of a posting from a forum reader and to further your negrophilic agenda ?

Few Africans are in Warsaw compared to the six-figure number in London. Compared to Warsaw neighbourhoods, the African colonies in London such as Brixton are not safe.

Fact; A significant portion of the African colonists in London are armed. The response to the illegally armed segment of the African community colonising London has been the establishment of the Police's "Operation Trident" an attempt to try to control African's violence.

Ever heard of "Operation Trident" 'jonn'i? Somehow I suspect that some would not wish to hear of "Operation Trident" in case it upsets the official dogma that multiculturalism is not an abject failure. stoptheguns.

"Operation Trident" is the response of the English authorities (The Metropolitan Police) to try to curb the murder rampage by Africans colonising London and extensively armed with small arms and items of cutlery.

To enlighten you here are some details>

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Trident_(Metropolitan_Police)

I can walk in Warsaw without being attacked by Africans but I have found it is the opposite in London.

Go live in Brixton London 'jonni' a colour-packed paradise filled with colonists from Africa awaits you there.

Life / Is Poland a safe country for people of color? [241]

"Remember a lot of Europeans are people of colour." ? - quote 'jonni'

The euphemism that you apply "people of colour" refers to Africans and Asians. Correct?

Europeans are not "people of colour" by the same rule of political correctness. In fact Europeans are demonised to the extent that the mass colonisation of my Continent by Afro-Asians has to be 'sold' as a wonderful phenomenon. The reality is that Afro-Asian mass re-settlement has brought displacement of Europeans and the ethnic cleansing of Europeans in many of Europe's cities

So when asked "Remember a lot of Europeans are people of colour" it puzzles me .
Why should a European be asked to "remember" a fallacy borne of political correctness?

It is wishful thinking borne of political correctness to label African and Asian settlers colonists and immigrants in Europe as "Europeans ".

It is a terrible shock to those who have been indoctrinated by the Eurocommunist EU system and its 'race industry'to realise that this European is one of the many who will always regard Africans and Asians as............. Africans and Asians irrespective of where they settle.

History / Polish Atlantis (pre-war Warsaw, Poland in pictures). [38]

I have always been surprised how the stained glass windows in Bracia Jabłkowscy's Department Store survived the German rape of Warsaw.

Located in central Warsaw at Bracka 25, designed by Franciszel Lilpop and karol Jankowski in 1913, it survived WW2 and was 'nationalised' as the 'Central Department Store' (Centralny Dom Tomarowy) then became a shoe store 'Dom Obuwia'.

The beautiful series of architectural features, the largest 'post secessionist' stained glass window in Warsaw and bas-reliefs by Bartłomeijcyk are worth checking out.

The store has within it several shopping levels, with trendy cafes, bookstores, chic boutiques and music shops.

History / Yalta Conference and Poland [78]

The US and UK leaders of the WW2 western allies used the Poles as disposable cannon-fodder to 'soak up lead' so that the Yanks and Brits would have lowered bodybag counts.

It wasnt just Arnhem , but Monte cassino, Falaise , wherever the lousiest combat battle tasks with the highest probability of death were likely they were dumped on any available Poles and the 'reward' was to be 'sold out' later at the Yalta Conference by Roosevelt.

History / Polish Atlantis (pre-war Warsaw, Poland in pictures). [38]

re "No idea which street is that, the building with the eagles is a corner of the now gone bank"

The bank built in 1912 - 17 as an example of Poland's early Modernist architecture is near Ulicza Sienkiewicza (off Marszalkowska) close'ish to Wedel's patisserie and chocolate shop.

The stone eagles were designed by Zygmunt Otto and from my last visit to Warsaw are still there at 'the bank under the eagles'.
