UK, Ireland / Websites for Poles to benefit from Britain! [210]


Because we are all worried/disillusioned/can remember when life seemed better/whatever.


In relative terms there are probably more Poles in employment than Brits, but good for them, they are more willing to work and not so choosy about jobs!

With you on that one, not that I'd trust the other parties either!

Yes this is very true. what we should all be doing!

I don't think it's a question of not thinking about your own people or pandering to others, people who know how to work the system get pandered to, people who use it only as a last resort in genuine circumstances get shafted! Living in Butetown I know both types of people and they can be from any race!

Sadly there is a distinct 'benefit culture' in South Wales, obviously there are genuinely unemployed people too, but they are the ones who get p----- on!

I take you are writing this tongue in cheek ??????
You were the lazy mare that wanted to claim benefits in Poland!!!!!!!
Just so you could have a cheap holiday!!!!!

I think 50/50 is an unrealistic rato for any ethnic group in the UK, even groups with higher unemployment it's 75/25 working to non working,it appears higher because severe unemployment s often found in pockets!


The Britsh owe a huge debt to earlier generations, this is true, also to the many commonwealth soldiers and Carribean/Asians who arrived to work in the 1950's

(They certainly helped build the NHS).

The UK is not what it was years back, there is much better integration with other races and much less prejudice which is really great, but IMHO everything else has gone down the pan!!


No obviously not as well as people say!

Law / Child Support Poland - my story and advice request [22]

My partner was asked to pay 500PLN per month for his child when he was divorced in Poland, at the time this was 50% of his earnings. When he arrived in the UK he found employment and was earning about £750 a month so raised it to 1000PLN as he could live ok on the 550£ left. This seems a reasonable amount as his ex has the flat and there is only one child. I think you need to get in touch with a good family law solicitor who can deal with international cases, Wikkivorce site may be able to suggest one. If you explain your circumstances during the last few years the courts may well allow you to pay the arrears in a smaller monthly sum. 2878PLN is way too high for a support payment. Money goes further in Poland and you have to live as well. Hope this helps.

Law / Child Support Poland - my story and advice request [22]

This realy is good advice because everyone here has different experiences and the amount you are being asked to pay is nearly twice the net polish salary per month.

Outside of Warsaw the average flat rent is only 5-600PLN, utilities are cheaper too, the amount my partner pays ensures that his son's lifestyle has not been affected by the divorce in financial terms. Also if you are paying less this allows you to visit your child more often.

News / Poles start to feel arrogant and superior to Southern Europeans [182]


Common sense at last!! No human being is superior because of their race! Depends on you as a person! There are good and bad things about all countries and cultures.

Love / English Men vs Polish Men [207]


I think that you are right in many ways here, however I do think that some women need to change their attitude too. Quite a few women still have this view that they have to do everything for a'man' and be everything to a man at the exclusion of all else. If both partners are working hard, there is nothing wrong in asking for some help in the domestic area. Problems stem from the idea that women are not a success unless they have a man, so some will try to be cook, cleaner, mother, wh---- . it makes it hard for other women to live up to. The average female can be some of those things some of the time only!

Love / Does your Polish partner suffer from disposophobia [46]

I don't know if it is anything to do with nationality, nor do I care but my sympathies with everyone who has a 'hoarder' at home!!!!!!!!!

Life / Is parity the answer for Polish women? [262]

Why should women have 'legislated parity'? how patronising! In most countries we have equality of opportunity and it's all we need, if we are good we'll make it to the top, if we aren't we won't,end of. I've done well in a very male orientated workplace but I will never reach the top because I have 4 kids and their needs are more of a priority for me.The choice to put them first was my choice, this has nothing to do with sexism or inequality, I don't want to get a nanny or househusband so that I can be the boss, so I accept that I won't be the boss! In Britain we'd be better off looking at some of the financial inequalities that prevent equality and an education/exam system that is geared

towards females (to the detriment of males) and does not really test true knowledge.

Parity for females in Poland??? I couldn't give an educated opinion because apart from my mother in law/sister in law, I only know expat women. What I can say though, is that apart from 2 very nice ladies, the polish women in my part of Cardiff are total airheads. My sister in law has just spent a couple of weeks here and the majority of the women we know were down right rude to her. Most called round on some excuse just to get a look at her and then were rude about her looks and the fact that she was talking about books,politics etc..... needless to say they were kept away the rest of the time along with their dopey husbands who should point out that looks aren't everything!

All this parity stuff, it's rubbish, use your brain and you'll go places!

Life / Is parity the answer for Polish women? [262]

To skysoulmate

Sorry if that sounds like I'm casting all polish women as airheads, I only know 2 who live in Poland, it's the women who I meet in my area of cardiff that I who I was writing about, who are expats anyway.

There are a couple of really nice women but the rest of the expat women in my area , I find difficult to relate to. I am pretty angry about the treatment of my sister in law, so maybe I am being especially critcal today. My partner is friendly with these women's menfolk, the women, however, rarely visit my house,usually we have contact if my partner is invited to a social event by the men , all of a sudden the women are turning up to say hi and have a look at my sister in law, then being rude to her or behind her back. My sister in law is a lovely woman,obviously Polish herself! I have been upset by this. I get cross when these women criticise my two polish female friends as well. Any way UNRESERVED APOLOGIES, if I sounded as though I was calling ALL/MOST Polish women airheads, I didn't mean to suggest this.
