Quite possibly.

Poland

3000 children missing a year
1700 babies sold (The one's that are known about)
Tier 1 Child trafficking country

If the government is reluctant to get a grip. What can you expect from some of it's people.

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


They get sent anywhere in the world. I wasn't suggesting she should be denied this right. It would be her opportunity to find out the truth.


It's more complicated than that. For example yesterday in the news early in the day a big mission to round up illegal immigrants was announced. Later in the day, this news was erased. Basically because it was aimed at particular cultures. There is a big fear of not offending other cultures with government employees. PC gone to far. The media is even filtered these days so there is barely a mention of crimes committed by immigrants. Fear of inciting racial hatred.

Quote from the mother of the mother of the child

She said: "I don't know how guilty she is. She was under his [Krezolek's] influence but also England - the British state - are responsible."

"She was a normal girl, we were a normal family. It wouldn't have happened in Poland."

"Will I see [my daughter] before I die?"

I'm sure she will. They will no doubt apply for a transfer to Poland, get a far lesser sentence and be working with children in a few years!!!

Life / Polish natural remedies and homeopathey better than English [84]


The proof is in the fact that many ailments are now survivable.

Many homoeopathic medicines in the past were in fact poisons and killed you anyway.


So people are beginning to realise they are what they eat? Old man says you are what you wear. Wear well! Young man says you are what you eat. Eat well!

Eating a balanced and varied diet, getting enough sleep and avoiding copious amounts of alcohol will keep you away from the doctors and quacks in most cases. A lot of homoeopathic medicines, in one way or another help you sleep. They promote the bodies natural healing process. Getting enough sleep seems to be the key.

History / Poland is a Catholic country [177]

Following a recent hearing in Poland and being left incredulous at a judges statement in court which went like this -:

"Mr x has admitted to physically attacking Mrs x but because Mrs x accepted his apology and returned to the marital home, Mrs x by her actions, accepted the physical attacks. Some physical violence is normal in marriage"

It would be difficult to accept this from a man but from a female judge, it's hard to swallow. This led me to try and understand and I found this article which makes a really interesting read.

Are Polish girls better cooks?

I got the short straw and mine definitely fails in the culinary department. Then her mother can make wildly varying dishes taste identical. Salty cardboard springs to mind.


My favourite served in a hollowed out crusty loaf. TBH its the only food I can say that I have found interesting in Poland.

Love / Divorce case in Polish court [8]

My understanding is that now you can do this by mutual agreement. But I guess that could mean you both say we are equally responsible.

A friend of ours completed hers within 2 months with one visit to court. We are still at it 2 years 8 months later. Judgement due next Friday and we expect his appeal by the following Friday. 3 months to get back into court and and a further month for the final decision.

The sooner they change the laws on divorce the better for all concerned. It's a very unpleasant process.

Love / Divorce case in Polish court [8]


You are playing with fire messing around with this. Do it properly. Go see a solicitor. Harry is correct about the alimony. You could be paying until your dying day. A divorce in Poland is now quick and simple as long as nobody wants an "at fault" divorce.

News / Poland's John Paul the Great canonisation this year [177]


With all those LOL's you must have one sick sense of humour.

Psychotherapy. Don't make me laugh. Opinionated and the text book solutions we have had from the 7 we saw in Poland beggar belief. They seem to think you fit the text book to the situation and not the situation to a solution. I guess they all study the same material. Rubbish. Rubbish. Waste of money. I'm sure the English ones are equally up their own bottoms.

You should try and imagine yourself in that predicament with possibly the next rapist growing inside you; but its impossible.

Early 40's at a guess. Maybe late 30's. Definitely dressed far younger than his years.

He was rather concerned about the potential 10,000 zlt fine for screwing up the hearing.

Travel / Just visited Poland - here is my random rant [154]


Frankly I can vouch for that fact. In a recent hearing (last month) in Poznan I even had to translate "shop" to the translator and every sentence in English had to be repeated several times and then corrected. He was useless and not only useless but 35 minutes late which meant we ran out of time and an additional hearing is now required. Irritating and expensive.

**** up and brewery spring to mind.

Life / Right or wrong, Polish controversies [11]


Its too liberal an attitude. Clearly a person that commits such an act is not a full shilling. How can anyone know they have been fixed while inside? Too many times people have been released in the for perverse and violent crime only to offend again. Certain crimes should carry an indefinite penalty. I agree with your statement for pettier offences.

Life / Right or wrong, Polish controversies [11]


Maybe, but should she have been released into the community at all. Would you trust a psychologist that says she is better? Would you release Ian Brady because he found god?

IMO this is a heinous crime and for any comparative crime against a child there should be no release from prison what so ever. The world doesn't need people like that.

Travel / Just visited Poland - here is my random rant [154]


Yes. Where exactly does the customer is always wrong ethos come from?

My partner bought something in Poznan recently which she attempted to return as a major component was missing only to be accused of being a thief. The hostile shopkeeper was told in no uncertain terms she could keep the 30zlt item. Shabby behaviour!

A friend of ours works in a shop selling make up and English products. She told us how she sold a product which the customer returned an hour later because it was dry. She of course refused to accept it back. She couldn't grasp the concept that she had lost a paying customer and possibly several more (word of mouth). For her it was more important to protect her boss from any losses.

Nice Pawian.
I was hoping to see a lot of places like this in Poland, but disappointed to find the majority of what people considered old were properties from around 1910 - 1920. I for one would like to see some serious investment in older city buildings that can be very attractive but I understand a lot of properties have ownership issues. It's interesting walking round Poznan bullet hole spotting.

UK, Ireland / Western Europe is not Paradise after all (Polish doctors in the UK more popular) [75]


Its a shame they forget to mention all the walk in centres that are available in the UK. Those where you arrive and take your turn; usually within 30 minutes where I live. But of course that spoils the story.

I think there is good reason its not so easy to see "your doctor" in the UK now and you are given the bounce by the receptionists. They are just plain fed up with wasting their time on the hypochondriacs. We had an issue where it was essential to see the doctor ASAP recently and once it was explained why, we were seen within 3 hours.

There are more than enough hypo's out there including my sister who managed to get banned from seven doctors in 20 years.

Man molests girl.

Not only is this person a truly disgusting individual, but he obviously lacks intelligence for committing the offence within a small community, where he was easily identifiable.


Its time the EU made this viable and reciprocal, and made foreign courts uphold sentences given in other countries unlike the Tomek ???/Elderly woman rape case a couple of years ago.

That's entertaining. Where does there imagination come into that one then? It's all the markettng departments and the stories being told to them by someone else. Keeps them quiet for a while and you don't need to put any effort in do you.

Life / TVP axes Dobranocka [21]


How anyone can tolerate more than a hour of cartoon network, I really don't know. A cacophony grunts, groans and appalling language and afterwards the kids want to go outside and beat each other round the head with plastic swords or anything else that comes to hand.

If I had the final say, I would ban it and encourage the children to watch programmes that teach them how to make things so they don't become over educated and incapable of doing anything. I don't so I seethe quietly to myself and wait for the next shopping trip, when they spot something Ben 10 and profess their absolute need for such an item. When asked what said item is and does, it's often followed with "er er er er but it's really good". Damned good marketing is what it is.

I miss Valerie John and Peter; not forgetting Shep.

I didn't see all Poles in her statement therefore it meant some Poles. Personally I think you are wrong.

It does appear to be the consensus of opinion and its not explicit enough to be a blanket statement unless you want it to be of course. Just sayin.

Life / Taking my Right hand drive car to Poland - is it allowed by the Polish authorities? [17]


+1 for that.

Its not only the drivers that are dangerous, but extremely dangerous roadworks that are poorly marked. 4 abreast on a single carriageway leaves you no room for error. A metre to the left so you can see is likely to be terminal. Beware the drunken cyclist too, they are completely unpredictable although they can be spotted at a distance with their flamboyant style.

I hate driving my RHD car in Poland. LHD is much more comfortable.

Driving must shorten Polish citizens life expectancy every time they turn the ignition key. The kur*a monster is born.

Law / Jobs and Economic Status in Poland [64]


This would make a really interesting discussion if only there were some solid facts to debate with. I don't believe any UK figures and the latest census cannot be relied on at all. The buggers changed my nationality and added "ski" to the end of my surname when the council tax bill came through. Slightly irritated by that and slightly amused at the same time.

We have a very large Polish community where I live and are well connected. I know of two that have left but there of course more. There have been a lot of new arrivals recently that I am aware of. Not that I keep count but as a hairdresser my partner gets asked if she knows of rooms to rent by friends of friends.

So I would say from Poland its still a positive flow.

It doesn't help agencies are still posting jobs in Poland which appear to be non existent.

I feel it is a little unfortunate in tone but in business dealings I've found the Dutch to be very matter of fact.
