News / Car theft in Warsaw (the most popular cars among car thieves in Poland) [54]

I have new Polish neighbours, they have a left hand drive VW, white van. They do look a bit rough, a builder bought the house a few years ago and turned it into bedsits, a couple and their young son now live in one of them, the father only wears vests, he walks down the street in his vest. As for the mattress they unloaded, I've seen better in front gardens on council estates. Do you think this VW van might be stolen?

I think this post of yours should be featured in your profile to remind us who you really are. Your Polish neighbours should have the right to see it too, as well as local police - in case of any racial hate crime in the area, they will know which door to knock.

I'm sure not all Polish families have broken disused fridges stuck in the front garden making the street look like a tip, or pile up empty beer and vodka bottles and used cigarette ends besides the rusting kitchen appliances, but this family does.

You forgot to add to your description that they are carrying knives and eating swans.

History / Sabaton 40-1. Poland WW2 (updated with: Uprising) [39]

In 1939 a large percentage of the german army was horse drawn.

Would be even more if they didn't "capture" thousands of supply trucks from Czechoslovakia.
Still, they had too few trucks/horses for their invasion of USSR.

UK, Ireland / Is UK the new cradle of antipolonism? [161]

We had the fameous British National Party "Battle of Britain" campaign and expelling Poles is part of their agenda, we had Giles Coren expressing his wish in The Times for Poles to "clear off", suggesting that setting fires to synagogues is our national sport, we had Stephen Fry accusing Poles of running Auschwitz on TV, we had other cases of collective accusations of Poles for Holocaust and equating Catolicism with antisemitism. We had Daily Mail articles on how Polish immigrants in UK carry knives with them and eat swans - yes, this one is my favourite:

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-473578/Sorry-poached-swans-Calls-clampdown-river-bandits-eastern-Europe.html

:D :D :D
Smaller scale slanderous accusations in the media are also common: for example once I saw an article of how supposedly an owner of a Polish shop told an English lady to get the hell out - more antipolish comments followed under the article.

Finally, there has been many personal accounts of Polish immigrants of how were they discriminated against and attacked because of their nationality.
How does it look when compared with other countries? Is it time to state that Britons have overall surpassed Germans in their polonophobia?

Their agenda was to expel everyone non-British, not just Poles. Just like some people in Poland would like to do - what's new there? Nationalism is hardly something "unique" in Europe.

Which Polish political party openly demands expulsions of foreigners? UK surpasses Poland in xenophobia here, but nevertheless Britons would never miss an opportunity to call Poles racists.

Nah, Poles preferred to burn them in barns, not synagogues.

That's hate talk.

For which he subsequently apologised.

Nice of him, but there is always the issue of how many saw the original defamation vs. how many saw the apology.

Radio Maryja, anyone?

Yes, small percentage of old ladies makes up a good representation of Catholicism. Again hate talk.

The article mostly talks about poaching fish. And yes, it is quite common in the UK for Poles to be stealing carp.

You mean they like fishing and aren't always aware that taking the fish is illegal in UK? How about omiting the story about how fishing looks like in Poland and proceeding to call Polish people thives?

That's America that was doing that. You know, a different country.

UK is catching up.

And you're telling me that Poles have never been racist towards others? Get out.

Is this topic about Polish racism or can't you read? You are free start your 11th thread about Polish-American racism or Polish-Colombian racism.

I think it's safe to say that anyone who talks about "polonophobia" and suchlike is almost certainly a supporter of LPR - and thus can be laughed out of this forum.

You like to apply your double standards to Poles, right?

No, it is an accurate description of hate crime.

No that's hate talk, as well as the works of Mr Gross. Marek Jan Chodakiewicz or Polish IPN are more objective, but it still makes little sense to discuss those events without context, unless you have another agenda, defamation for instance.

You mean the one which he didn't make? No matter how many times you claim that Fry said that Poles ran Auschwitz, he still won't have said it.

Ok, let's say he apologized for something he didn't said.

Would be a pretty short story: fishing in Poland requires a rod licence and a permit for the body of water. [/url]

Which means they can take the carp they catch in PZW waters home. And it's hard to find non-PZW lakes in Poland.

Hahaha. There are plenty of such types in Poland

I see you are clutching at straws here. Hard to accept the fact that the "liberal and tolerant UK" is really more racist towards immigrants than Poland?

The tolerance shown by the Catholic Church towards Radio Maryja certainly suggests that the Church approves.

That's as racist as saying that the tolerance the Britons showed towards Daily Mail certainly suggest that Britons approve.

You mean that Poles don't understand PRIVATE PROPERTY - KEEP OUT? Ah...actually, you would be right there.

Again racist accusation. "Stealing of carps" by Poles in the UK has very little to do with jumping through fences but rather with taking home the fish they caught because they assumed it's obvious that they can take it - this is how fishing works in Poland.

Polack

I see Coren's slur is catching on.

People like you just seek to stir up resentment because you're utterly dissatisfied with your life.

I have little interest in stirring up resentment. You just need to face up to your own racism before you point your fingers at Poles, which seems to be the hobby of Britons.

indeed, they view the UK with much praise for allowing Polish workers to come in from the beginning, and for being generally supportive towards Poland in the EU.

UK hardly allowed Poles to stay "in the beginning", after selling them to Stalin. Many veterans complained how they were not welcome in UK after the war ended. Now Poles should feel gratitude for allowing them to have those low paid jobs? You clearly have no clue about Polish people and their pride.

I notice no attempt to refute membership/approval of LPR.

I notice no attemp from you part to refute membership/approval of NSDAP, Gestapo, SS, NKVD, church of satan, etc.

UK, Ireland / Is UK the new cradle of antipolonism? [161]

and the IPN is hardly a "impartial history source".

Ekhm :D If that makes you tick :D
I always wondered why are Britons experts on the suffering inflicted on Jews by Poles? Is it the favourite topic of chit-chats over a cup of tea in UK? Surprisingly they are not so interested in cases where Poles were the victims.

It's a great way to describe people like yourself - Plastic Poles with precious little knowledge of what's going on in Poland, and without any skill in the language.

No, it's a term used by racist, that you gladly adopted.
This thread is not about what's going on in Poland, it's about what's going on in Britain. If you want to talk in Polish with me - use the appropriate place in the forums, I welcome you to do that.

real Poles were more worried about the money in their pocket than any nonsense about history.

That's just offensive.

Listen, pal - you aren't Polish, you will never be Polish and you certainly aren't welcome to be Polish. Now - get the hell out of my country.

You need to make up your mind "pal": am I in USA or in Poland?

Britain is generally good to Poland and is quite happy to accomodate Poles.

You mean not counting the pattern of derogatory stereotyping in the media, discrimination and the openly expressed wish to get rid of "cheap Polish workforce, that steals jobs from locals"?

Anyway, do I need to remind you that Britain allowed the Polish Government-in-Exile to stay in the UK?

Yes, they did happen to honor that particular part of the alliance with Poland.

Or perhaps we could discuss how the 1945-era Poles were so happy in the UK that they actually can be used as a shining example of true immigration? They certainly didn't moan and whine about what the UK could've done - they just got on with their life in the new country.

They were devastated that Brits sold their land to Stalin and asked them to leave. Those who lived in Kresy lost their homes, other still faced prosecution when coming back. And Britain, both the government and the general public, wanted to get rid of the Poles, who were now just seen as a competition on the job market.

News / What Polish political party are you in favour of and why [6]

Unfortunately Poles have the American syndrom of choosing between two possiblities (while there are many in fact) - there may be many parties or presidential candidates but most will just consider the two options that have the highest support according to media. Even if they don't like either of them, they will vote for the "lesser evil", instead of considering another option. The older generation is particularly guilty of this - I noticed that Korwin-Mikke has quite a support among the youth. Maybe finally he will be successfull, as like you said, people are disappointed with PO and PIS and SLD.

History / Why are Jews pestering Poland for "proper" WW2 monetary restitution/reparations? [750]

Poland is being asked by FOREIGNERS to give those properties to FOREIGNERS - either to people who renounced their Polish citezenship and left Poland for greener pastures, or, in most cases, to their heirs who have no Polish connection whatsoever.

Considering that Polish citizens haven't been properly compensated by FOREIGNERS, who caused their suffering, Poland's primary obejctive should be taking care of its own citizens, not of people who left Poland 60 years ago, or their relatives, who don't even speak Polish.

The idea of giving Polish taxpayers money to second generation of American Jews represents some twisted, totally disconnected from reality sense of justice. That may only be considered until after all Polish people will be properly compensated by those who caused their suffering.

To sum up - no money for you here, keep going!

Latest news!
After many months of hard negotiations, Polish and Jewish teams finally reached an agreement. Jewish side agreed to withdraw all their financial claims on Poland in favour of a regular supply of kosher śliwowica to all the entitled heirs. Additional batches will be regularly delivered to Anti Defamation League, Yad Vashem and other Jewish organizations.

Food / Singles (fake cheese) in Poland [19]

Poland has never been or never will be known as a decent cheese producing country

I don't know about particular brands, but the smoked cheese Rolada Ustrzycka is very good.

News / Multi-culti (in Poland) -- roadmap to disaster? [344]

They were Polish citizen no more no less and as such should be treated in the same way as all others law abiding polish citizens.

That's not his idea, he is just a follower of the idea of double standards towards Poles and Polish Jews. Many other foreign posters advocate this idea.

To sum up: a Jew that is a victim of violence is "only" a Jew, and that violence must have been antisemitic, racist in nature. Whereas a Jew, who is the perpetrator of violence, is no longer a Jew - he is given the nationality of the people whom he harmed. And thus, for instance, commie Soviet-collaborating Jew is no longer considered a Jew by them - under that theory he becomes a Pole, while any Jew killed by Poles must have been killed as a result of "Polish antisemitism" and is considered Jewish enough to generate interest from Israeli media.

News / Iwona Wieczorek - one year since her disappearance [8]

Exactly one year ago 18-year old Polish girl Iwona Wieczorek disappeared in Sopot. She did head home after an argument at a disco with her friends but she never reached it. The battery in her mobile died. Her story was all over the news and still is. The detective Rutkowski (the same guy who "re-kidnapped" Polish girl from Norwegians) was working on her case but without success.

The story:

One year has passed since the disappearance of Iwona Wieczorek . Tonight, her mother go from Sopot to Gdansk route , which stops the trace of the daughter. Weekend night of 16 to 17 July 2010. Iwona Wieczorek interfered in Sopot disco with friends and going out. Monte Cassino promenade goes toward the pier. In the cell, the battery got exhausted.

If you knew Polish, you would know that Rutkowski, his skills and motivation aside, worked that case for free, cause it was good advertising for him - which he publicly admitted. Anyway, this topic is not the right place for your trolling, keep it down out of respect for Iwona's family.

Life / Racism and for what? (story of Egyptian guy's living in Poland) [149]

I'm quite conversant in most of Polish law ( criminal isn't my specialty though ) and I'll tell you right now - there is no legal obligation on the Police or the Prosecutor to release any information regarding any crime whatsoever

You don't have to be conversant in Polish law to know that, 12-year olds know that.
Still, Komenda Policji w Gdańsku, has its own webpage where it publishes information on even very minor incidents and assault is not a minor incident, especially racist assault - any Polish newspaper would like to buy a story about racist violence act. But somehow this particular hate crime went unnoticed except from PF :D
