History / The heroic jump of the 1st Polish Independent Paratrooper Brigade [81]

Bratwurst Boy: Well...not anymore I would think. Right now Poland looks good compared to some "older" western countries.

You are right B B. if you actually take look at the composition of the gov, it stacks up quite well even against countries that do not fall into the Greek category. I find Poles in general love to dump on their gov, even though they usually know very little about it.

I can name the whole cabinet, and their qualifications and i follow the media and papers avidly and i studied politics before, in short I would say yes i am.

I can also name the entire British cabinet as well as the shadow cabinet and i also follow the UK media.

Travel / Which city is better to visit: Warsaw or Krakow? [169]

Think the warsaw krakow thing is a bit like johannesburg and capetown in south africa as well

I lived in SA such a beautiful country, Cape Town is fantastic. To bad the country is going to the dogs.

full independence.

Personally i think it will be a sad day. a very sad descent for the once mighty British Empire, the country that in Niall Ferguson's words made the modern world.

History / I'm searching for a movie about Polish-Bolshevik war of 1920 [18]

He says he heard it in a movie about the Polish-Bolshevik war of 1920, but he doesn't remember the title... is there somebody who knows it, or knows another movie featuring it?

This might be a little helpful.

You can't compare the well oiled, efficient, time tested machinery of the

You have got to be joking right?

Mind you, at least Poles aren't as thick as Brits.

Indeed, Focking unbelievable. If he gets in again it is going to be a focking disaster.

News / Komorowski, acting president, is a shower! [51]

He is able to keep his nerve, he does not feel pressure and he demolished Sikorski in a debate. In contrast to Komorowski, who appeared extremely relaxed, Sikorski appeared extremely nervous, at one stage he had a nervous twitch just below his eye.

History / Poles in the Napoleonic era [224]

Germans fighted to liberate themselves of him

some of them yes, not all of them, many sided with him.

Wellington

Was in fact a better soldier and strategist than Napoleon.

here is a bit of Napoleonic grandiloquence.

News / Polska A ['educated'] scoffs at Lech Kaczynski [24]

embarrassing non-entity.

I am Polish and have to agree, people mourn him because he is the representative of the people and most certainly not for his achievements when president.

You and people like you should have never been let into Poland, human trash like you interbreeding with our people affects our genepool.

I think they have just as much rights as anybody else to express their opinions, if they live in, and contribute to the country to all intents and purposes they can consider themselves Poles if they want to.

Gągor was a scourge.[/quote
you have got to be joking, he was inline for a top NATO job, the guy spoke French, English and Russian. Can you name any other general with such multilingual abilities?

[quote=Sokrates]I've been talking about Gągor here, we could write a book about whats not to like, suffice to say he backed Klichs politics of cutting our military budget left right and centre.

That is because the Poles were changing from a conscript to a professional army, and instead of spending it on useless additional foot soldiers, it can now be directed on better equipment. honestly you should try to think before you wright!

UK, Ireland / Polish immigrants in the UK - victims or criminals?! [128]

partly because of so many Polish criminals who had come here

I wouldn't believe him, fact is after reading several newspaper articles and listening to some MP's speeches, there is a far greater native criminal element than among Polish migrants. what you are probably witnessing is an inferiority complex from the former 'working class', who now no longer work and express their inferiority through racism.

History / Poles in the Napoleonic era [224]

Which is why he was losing at Waterloo and was only saved by Prussian intervention:)

He was competent but when directly facing Napoleon he was markedly inferior, by the time the prussian 1st core arrived Wellingtons army was completely incapable of anything but defence.

He had a smaller army that is why, he managed to destroy Napoleon's cavalry simply by moving his troops back over a hill, that is how competent Napoleon was.

He was a lot more careful with the lives of his soldiers, and yes it is a given that he was a better strategist, he would have never undertaken the Stupid Russian venture.

News / Michał Kamiński - referred to not by name on the UK Leaders Debate but ... [47]

David Miliband, who remarkably got overpromoted to be the Foreign Secretary, has previously said how "physically sickened" he was by current Polish anti-semitism.

Disgusting hypocrites, only a few days ago he was eulogizing what a great man the president was, whilst making such scandalous accusations against his party, BUT WAIT THAT IS NOT EVEN THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL. Read THIS!

conservativehome.com//leftwatch/2010/03/labour-candidate-gives-nazi-salute-as-he-lazily-smears-tory-allies-in-europe.html

Absolutely unbelievable, how can this Labour lowlife get away with this? why isn't he done for defamation! i wish somebody would make a big issue out of this preferably somebody who lives in the constituency, disrupt his every meeting and confront him with his lie! If i lived in the country i would be relentless hounding him right up to polling day, I've tried contacting his office but the scum is ignoring me, he uses his mother as a secretary.

This is a warning to everyone, if you are Polish do not vote Labour, they have a track record of baiting Poles. If you look at their history they instigated the unionists to prevent military supplies being shipped to Poland during the Bolshevik war. They prevented the Poles from marching during the Victory Day, never vote Labour!

As to the actual words he said:
How on Earth does it help anyone… David Cameron, to join together in the European Union with a bunch of nutters, anti-Semites , people who deny climate change exists, homophobes

Did you read the comments made by the Labour candidate in the Cambridge Union debate I've posted above, (its on video you can listen to him saying it)? Complete lies, I wonder if he did that out of ignorance or maliciousness.

So just in case anybody who comes across this post don't vote for Daniel Zeichner, he is a Liar and a racist!

Not only that, but his mixing of countries. He took the supposed actions of a Latvian party and attributed them to a Polish political party. If i were a candidate, that publicly said that the Labour party are a bunch of child abusers, I wonder what would the reaction be like.

So he made one party out of two, just a mental shortcut of a kind, play for the ignorant public, that's quite normal for a politician. Both of the mentioned parties are in alliance with the British Conservatives, at least here he's right.

It is a carelessness born out of contempt, there is no way he would have made that comment about the US Republicans for instance, even if true!

I urge everyone to join the Daniel Zeichner should apologize facebook page. I would also advise if you feel like it, to contact him personally, he has his own website, Google his name. I have tried contacting him, but unfortunately he shields himself with his elderly mother

whenever i ring his office.

Any Poles ever get a chance to pie him in public, do so, then quote him so he gets a lesson.

JOIN THE FACEBOOK PAGE I RECOMMENDED OR CONTACT HIM PERSONALLY, SEE ABOVE. SPREAD THE MESSAGE, MAYBE YOU MIGHT KNOW SOMEBODY WHO LIVES IN HIS CONSTITUENCY, SEE IF THEY CAN HARASS HIM, THIS IS RIGHTEOUS ANGER, HE SHOULD NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS!

No chance, though i love the idea, though who knows maybe Millaband?

So here is the appeal to all interested living in Cambridge or near by, do everyone a service by pieing Zeichner, and than proceeding to read his comment back at him, you will liven up the election i assure you.
