News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 27 [902]


You're thinking of the Early Warning System in Yorkshire. A huge array of tech on the North York Moors and a base to operate it quite a few miles away near Harrogate. That does not exist to protect to Europe and does not have the capacity for that. It exists to detect missiles heading over the Atlantic or the Arctic.

Aimed at you.

That and the power of the internet combined with crude persuasion techniques. And we can see what that has led to with trumplecúntskin.


It's about rights, empowerment and role in society. Something the losers in the 'manosphere' are too fragile and weak to deal with, hence part of the appeal of that creep to his core audience, teenage boys.

Since almost a thousand years before that. Before the RC denomination was founded in 1054.

Just as Uniate churches, the Mozarabic Rite etc exist under the patronage of the Vatican, so did the Anglican Church for part of its existence.

It has always been different, and at the start wasn't under the malign influence of Rome at all.


You missed "the" and that great King was of course Defender of the Faith, a title originating in the depraved city that was and is Rome.


Let's, and acknowledge that Ecclesium Anglicanum, the English Church, has always been its own thing, even back in the days of the Sarum Rite.

Most things are. Within Roman Catholicism, the ultimate arbiter for a living person is their own conscience.


Anglicanism has existed since the first Christian missionary came to England, long before the concept of Poland existed.


It's cleaner and better than burial, however the ideal is to donate your body for medical science. Public sector of course, nobody directly profiting financially from it.

The modern world (or any other world you may know of) does not "vilify men" and nor was that creep Tate "created by feminism".


What "catacombs"?


Don't be silly.


To him, they are.

Depends on the couple in question. If the divorce is reasonably amicable and the parents take care to put the children's best interests first, co-parenting, joint custody, no emotional loading, it is better for them than living in a toxic home with constant bickering and a near-permanent bad atmosphere.


Sadly, all too many are.

An astronomical amount, hence it distorting the stats.

And no, Deepak, I'll not give the price so you can trawl online and see the street name.

Given the appalling things he says about women and about killing, good that it's not legal where Renata lives.

As good as any other major European country and no problems getting jobs since there is steady industrial development.

As far as I know there are no stats that suggest a ridiculous number of people have suddenly emigrated to Poland or elsewhere. The number you cite would mean that there are more than half the number of British citizens there are there are legally registered in Spain where there are whole communities that are majority English speaking,

Also there would be issues of work permits as well as a language barrier since those of us who speak Polish well are rare.

Worth remembering that only some of those eligible applied for citizenship and of those who did and were able to get it, only some returned.


That number stretches all credibility.

Sadly Vance is even worse and of course their country has become highly polarised.

It's an annual press release about districts and streets.


Hard to know how anyone arrived at that figure.

Unless it's UK passport holders, many of whom in Poland are Polish, both from the post war diaspora and returnees from the post-2004 migration wave.

Afaik it comes from estate agents every year. Basically a PR thing.

There are lies, damn lies and statistics.

I remember a few years ago when the government in PL published data saying that every man, woman and child in Łomża drank 5 litres of vodka a week. They hadn't distinguished between sales and residency and hasn't taken into account that Łomża had all the supermarkets for many miles around.


Several years ago my street was officially the most expensive street in Poland. Thing is, there's only been one house sale there for years and that was a particularly expensive one.

Polonia / What Do You Think About a Mountain Holiday in Romania? Looking for Tips and Opinions [3]


That's not my experience of it, except maybe the hearty bit.

Transylvania is nice to visit, especially the few remaining Saxon German communities.

If you want a holiday in central European mountains, Poland is an excellent choice and safer than Romania. Plus of course it has better infrastructure.
