News / Poland's Economy Is Booming! The EU's Success Story? [711]


What about the British economy. Most of the water companies are foreign owned, Nestlé, Kraft Foods, T-Mobile, Nissan, Vauxhall, oh, and not forgetting those traditional "British" supermarkets Lidl and Aldi are all foreign owned. Even Dyson Vacs moved their manufacturing over to China years ago so if you think Poland's economy is built on dodgy foundations then what do you think the British one is? Oh yeah, British economy is officially in double dip recession, isn't it? Anyway, if things are so bad over in Poland feel free to come back to the UK.

We always did. We integrated well into the RAF, the army, the navy and your jobs back in the 40s. Now we're integrating well into your jobs and benefits system in the 21st century. ;D

Go to Miami and see how well the Cubans and Haitians have integrated. Spanish is the most widely spoken language there and parts of Miami all you hear is Creole. Birds of a feather stick together.

UK, Ireland / Sooo many Polski Sklep in the UK, LOL [64]


I'm guessing he's one of these EDLers who like to hang around car parks every weekend with his colleagues from the football hooligan intelligentsia.


As opposed to non-foreign Poles I guess?

I seriously don't know what you have to complain about. No one is forcing you to shop in Polish shops. There is obviously a demand for the products they sell and if there wasn't they'd soon close.


Bought a bottle in Tesco tonight and there's not a single colouring or E number included on the list of ingredients.

So? What difference does it make? The USA is full of immigrants anyway. In case you'd forgotten, even English is a foreign language as it was imported by the conquering colonialists. How many Americans whose 1st language is English actually speak a foreign language or even try to learn?

I am sure the article mentioned that results for maths had shown a marked improvement and that the work ethic shown by the Polish pupils was having a positive influence on their British classmates.

News / Poland's Economy Is Booming! The EU's Success Story? [711]


You mean stealing resources from conquered lands. Yes, i think any country could grow very rich by acting in such a way. So whilst England was growing rich at the expense of it's plunder, Poland was being plundered by our neighbours.

How long did it take Germany's economy to recover after the war? Not long. Maybe if Poland had benefitted from the Marshall Plan money like the Western Allies did, Poland's economy would be on a par with the rest of Western Europe today but seeing as your country sold us down the river to the Russians then all Poland got was Stalinist ideology and the country enslaved to the needs of its Russian overlords. So let's call the UK investment into Poland and accepting Polish workers as small payback for being duplicitous twats during WW2.

Love / Polish girls call themselves sensitive and easily to be hurt, but how if they hurt others [35]

Personally I think the OP has tried hitting on several Polish girls and worn out all the usal chat up lines eg you're beautiful, I like you, I love you, do you like me etc etc etc all within the space within 4-5 hours of meeting the object of his desire. What has probably happened then is that one or two of them have then decided to string him along by getting him to buy drinks and/or food for her and he's then thought he's on to a sure thing not realising that the girls have seen through his blatant BS and they're not interested. Slighted by these setbacks he then comes on to polishforums.com in the hope that the girl who strung him along reads this forum and actually gives a ****. Or am I being too cynical? :D

News / Why are many Poles anti-Euro2012 [16]

Many organised football groups, the ultras and the kibole(hooligans) are protesting/boycotting for a couple of reasons. 1) because the Polish FA are seen as corrupt and are always criticising supporters to hide their own failings & 2) they see the Euros as something that represents all that is wrong with modern football ie commercialisation, corporate interests being put first over that of the fans and the ridiculously high prices for the tickets.

News / Don't go to Poland ... because you could end up coming back in a coffin [313]

If Panorama and the BBC were truly sincere and not just seeking sensationalist headlines days before a major tournament is about to start then maybe this programme should have been made and aired months and months ago instead of less than 2 weeks before the tournament starts when thousands of people have already made their travel and accommodation arrangements and it's too late to back out now. If that had happened then maybe they would have done both countries a service and forced the governments to clamp down on this issue sooner.

News / Don't go to Poland ... because you could end up coming back in a coffin [313]


I have been to most of the international games IN poland in the last ten years and the only time I have seen any trouble was when England were here. However I have also been to many games outside Poland and sadly there's been quite a lot of trouble; Kaunas, Bratislava, Prague, Maribor, Belgrade but also I was in Brussels in November 2006 when 15,000 Polish fans descended on the city, practically drank the place dry and turned it into a red & white party yet there was not one single arrest and the chief of police and the mayor of Brussels went on record praising the behaviour of the Polish fans.

The "British disease" is still with them, as I witnessed in Stuttgart in June 2006 and of course you have the EDL numpties causing trouble nearly every weekend in one town or another. Every country has its problems, some are worse than others, but we can always expect the holier than thou BBC to magnify the problem.


Yes, he's the one and the same but I think he's more Socialist Worker's Party than Communist. Here's what his latest contribution to the publishing world looks like

The magazine cover was first described as "a recent picture at a Polish national team game" but when I questioned them about which game they started fumbling about a bit and then after more severe questioning it's now apparently "a montage of images taken from various games in Poland in recent months". Of course it's designed to clearly misrepresent supporters of the national team as being a bunch of Nazis. They are getting quite a bashing on Facebook from me about this image.

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


But surely any Jewish Holocaust survivors who were Polish nationals who then went to reside in and become US citizens ARE included in the Polish-USA treaty of 1960. Surely they cannot be allowed to claim twice.

Yes, these unemployable peasants have found work in the UK doing work the unemployable English chavs don't want to do

Don't worry Grzegorz, there's no way they will expel us, unfortunately, their economy is in a bad enough way as it is without expelling their hardest workers.

Travel / Ryanair travel by air - subtle scams to be wary of [98]

I try to avoid Ryanair like the plague. Luckily most of my flying between the UK and Poland these days is done between cities where Wizzair flies to. I have never had any problems with them and sometimes it's worked out cheaper for me to fly to Warsaw with Wizzair then get the train down to Kraków rather than fly direct to Kraków with Easyjet or Ryanair.

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [586]

With the notable exception of Lenin (Vladimir Ulyanov) although his maternal grandfather was Jewish, most of the leading Communists who took control of Russia in 1917-20 were Jews. Leon Trotsky (Lev Bronstein) headed the Red Army and, for a time, was chief of Soviet foreign affairs. Yakov Sverdlov (Solomon) was both the Bolshevik party's executive secretary and -- as chairman of the Central Executive Committee -- head of the Soviet government. Grigori Zinoviev (Radomyslsky) headed the Communist International (Comintern), the central agency for spreading revolution in foreign countries. Other prominent Jews included press commissar Karl Radek (Sobelsohn), foreign affairs commissar Maxim Litvinov (Wallach), Lev Kamenev (Rosenfeld) and Moisei Uritsky. Lazar Kaganovich and Pavel Postyshev, who oversaw the disastrous collectivization of farms in the Ukraine whick led to the Holodomor, were also Jewish.

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [586]

Communism is incompatible with any religion. How do you define Jewishness? Who knows? Is it a religion, an ethnicity or a nationality? I'm not a sociologist or a geneticist so anything I put forward as an opinion would no doubt be shot down by the amateur experts on PF. ;)

That's why.


The blindingly obvious reason being it's a historical fact.

So all these religious wars between people who worshiped in different branches of the Christian faith don't count as human misconduct?

We can't do that, that would be anti Semitic and everyone knows what a huge nation of anti Semites us Poles are ;)

Travel / What is the ugliest city or town in Poland? [89]

It pains me to say it but I have to agree with gdyniaguy here. The advertising hoardings, the (lack of) planning, some of the paint jobs on the renovated blocks (yeeurggh). No lessons have been learnt from the Communist driven post war concrete block building spree. The headlong rush into capitalist post Communist era hasn't done anything to refresh the thinking of the town planners when it comes to development. The war and Communist architecture blighted many Polish towns and cities and it's going to take time and billions of Złoty to change things.

Back to the topic though. Chorzów is very grim; Płock outside the Stare Miasto is horrendous; Gdynia's only saving grace is the harbour area and Kamienna Góra; agree about Malbork, the town is a hell hole. I'm not going to nominate a town for most ugliest bit I'd like to nominate Poznań as the most disappointing place I've visited in Poland. Outside the Stary Rynek it's just a mad, traffic congested, big city. I was expecting something like Wrocław or Kraków but the Stare Miasto is small considering how big a city it is and I didn't find it as interesting or as nice as I do Wrocław or Gdansk.

I was there 6 days ago. The town centre is small but very tidy however outside of that it's just a typical small, communist style reconstructed town.

I stopped going to church when I was 17 yet it didn't stop me bringing my children up with a decent sense of morality and values but in a non-religious environment. If people feel they need religion as a crutch then that's fine by me but I can live a good life without some priest, minister, pastor, imam or rabbi lecturing me.

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [586]

Maybe if he had written Communists of Jewish ethnicity who were enemies of Poland his comment would have had some validity but in the interests of not wishing to miss out on an opportunity to smear Poles and label us as anti Semites he misses out some vital information :)
