UK, Ireland / Brits say being drunk senseless while visiting Poland is national trait [98]
No one can give a definite answer to that, apart from the point that the different tribes referred to themselves as Anglecynn, meaning they were of the same ancestry and related, they shared a religion and dialects that were understandable to each other, the Angles may have been the larger group. but it was a Wessex king that unified the people, so the Angles and their kin named their unified land Englalond, but it was Alfred King of Wessex who unified them who made his own dialect the main one.
Why did the Angles get their name in English rather than the Saxons?

Well DE, if you want to be really pedantic. The Germanic tribes who settled in what was to become England spoke different dialects. When they unified as England, the dialect used as the lingua franca was in fact the dialect spoken in Wessex, so English evolved from the West Saxon dialect. The dialects were brought to England by the English and it was the English language that was taken to America.

Bikers from lots of countries have been camping in Glastonbury (well a field on the edge of town, not literally in the town centre)all week. tomorrow's their last day, so they drove through the town on their bikes, flying the flags of their countries. A few Poles, a lot of Danes, the French were by far the noisiest, followed by the Italians.

Did I say that? so what did your ancestors do to protect Poland during the war?
You made a remark about the camaraderie among the submariners and disassociated them from civilians, I pointed out to you that soldiers and sailors had families, it was to protect them and the people of their country that they fought. War is ugly, sometimes men find themselves in a situation of kill or be killed. The reason you and I are able to speak freely is because men like my grandfather, whose 'mentioned in despatches' is still in the frame he put it in is sitting just 3 feet from where I am now, risked their lives so others would have the chance of life. Do you honestly believe Hitler could have been stopped with a polite phone call and a nice chat over a cup of tea?
Many good, decent men sacrificed their lives in wars to save your undeserving neck and all you can do is accuse them of being rapists.
By the way ... what on earth makes you think that killing civilians, children, raping women, or people or different belief, look, color or religion makes a person rough?

Those men had families too. They left wives and children behind, not knowing if they would ever see them again, they went to defend theirs and other families. I think you've watched too many Hollywood movies, that might be how Tom Cruise et al., portray war veterens, Hollywood is nothing like the real thing.

The war ended over 65 years ago, long before any of us were born. What's the point in all those people dieing while fighting for peace when all this hatred continues among people who weren't even born then.
My Dad told me something only the other day. Dad was a submariner, not during the war, long after. However, about 15 years ago Dad got a phone call from the steward of the Naval association club, who like Dad was also an ex submariner. He said to Dad "Can you get down here now, there's someone I want you to meet" When Dad arrived an ex U-boatman was there, he was on holiday from Germany and had walked into the Naval association club introduced himself and said he would like to meet some British submariners, so the steward phoned around every submariner he knew, some of them also having served during the war. The old U boatman was the third and last survivor of a U-boat that had been torpedoed many stories were swapped between the old man and the British submariners who had served during the war, my Dad had many stories from his father who was in the Navy during the war. These men had fought each other at sea during the war, yet in peacetime they drank together and shared stories.

UK, Ireland / Are Poles in UK really that big of a deal? [112]
That surprised you, but not me. We often hear people on here, who have never set foot in the UK go on and on about the British Empire blah blah blah. The fact is after India got her independence in 1947, a lot of Indians (Pakistanis were Indian before partition) chose to move to Britain and take British citizenship, our two countries have a shared a long history, many Indian words have made their way into our language and Indian food, not just curry, we wouldn't have chutney with a traditional ploughman's lunch for starters. An Indian work colleague who came here age 8, once said to me "Do you ever wonder what foreigners think of us British?"
Could be.. but the British were pretty hospitable to this dude which surprised me because I thought they were racist in general.

I think this is the problem, the first flux of Poles that came here, were genuine people looking for work, but it looks like they have now been followed by the scum of the country. Before anyone gets on their high horse, every country has it's scum, and it appears that a disproportionally high number of scum have come here from Poland. this is a rural area where people never locked their doors at night, there was very little crime, Polish 'scum' as opposed to decent hard-working Poles have seen an opportunity in this weakness, turned up in their droves and turned previously safe places to live as unsafe. Where I live we have had a couple of murders and an armed police siege at the house around the corner and I'm sorry to say it has been Poles each time, this sort of thing was unheard of here before.

UK, Ireland / How to set up a charity in the UK? [20]
Evidently.
For one, if it is not registered with the Charity Commission it cannot use the words charity or charitable, or claim to be such. I have found American 'rules' rather lax when it comes to charity. Whereas our charity laws, were first brought into effect in 1601 with the statute of Elizabeth, it was then given a permanent commission in 1853, thus becoming the Charity Commission. Queen Liz the first was no fool, she could see people were using the word 'charity' to fill their own pockets and not those in need, so she set about making laws to change that.
Unfortunately I don't know much about English rules. I live in the States

A charity can be incorporated as a business, it is known as a charitable incorporated organisation or CIO, the purpose of the business is to make money for the charity. Staff who work for charities can be paid, but there must be no conflict of interest. For someone involved with the charity, either as a trustee of charity correspondent, to be taken onto the payroll, they must first clear it with the charity commission, proving no conflict of interest. If you are looking for a business venture, then be prepared to pay taxes, charitable status is not for you.

North Africa was a problem to many European countries on the Mediterranean, remember it was the Moors who invaded Spain, not the other way around. Children are taught in school that only black people were slaves, not so.
When are people going to learn, that history is seldom about good versus bad, it's about winners and losers, the losers always paint the winners as the bad guy.
