Life / Feeling ashamed of my Polish heritage. [237]

Only in sport; and why not.BTW, they (except for the oldest housewives) speak English.

That is simply not true. Many Pakistani kids start school unable to speak English. They have no need to speak English. They live in Pakistanis ghettoes. Their parents, grandparents and siblings speak Urdu, Everyone in the street speaks Urdu. They watch Pakistani TV. English is a foreign language to them, and British is a foreign culture.

History / A History of Gdansk, Poland [130]

I've never seen Buzzfeed.

There was a Buzzfeed 'bombshell' which all the other MSM outlets repeated over the last week which turned out to be Fake News

buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonleopold/trump-russia-cohen-moscow-tower-mueller-investigation

Also it was Buzzfeed's Fake News which initially led to the Mueller investigation over two years ago when it published leaked information from the Steele Dossier which John Brennan and John McCain had provided it with.

History / A History of Gdansk, Poland [130]

Gdańsk (Dantsic and variants of that in English, though we say Gdansk now) is historically not quite Germany, not quite Poland.

Gdańsk (/ɡəˈdænsk, ɡəˈdɑːnsk/; Polish: [ˈɡdaɲsk]; Kashubian: Gduńsk; German: Danzig) is one of the oldest cities in Poland. Founded by the Polish ruler Mieszko I in the 10th century, the city was for a long time part of Piast state either directly or as a fief.

There isn't any doubt about that, though it's at best marginally relevant to the tragic loss of Mayor Adamowicz.

Why is one man more important than the millions of Poles who were murdered by the Germans and Russians in WWII.

Get some perspective!

how you want to pin its destruction on the Germans is at least curious.

The Germans started the Second World War when they bombed Westerplatte in Gdansk on 1st September 1939

So is Trump American

The clue is in MAGA.

British Pakistanis prefer to fly Pakistani flags rather than Union Jacks and have no interest in traditional British traditions and customs. Many of the can't even speak English.

[moved from]

Gdansk, which we're talking about here, was a shi before EU funding came to the rescue

Gdansk was a rich seaport before the Germans turned it into a pile of rubble in 1939.

So all that makes someone Polish is having Polish citizenship?

All that makes someone British is having a British passport.... I find it strange that when I meet Poles in my home town and they as me why there are no British people around, I have to explain to them that all these Pakistanis are actually British.

I prefer to call myself English, since I don't recognise such a thing as a British nation.

whatever period of time you lick there has been o,entry of other genes in the mix - Swedish, Lithuanian, Jewish, German.

Not forgetting the Mongols who invaded Poland three times!

If Poles would really prefer to stay poor but polish they wouldn't walk all over Europe in search for work and better shores

Some people go abroad to save money for their future in Poland. It does make a lot of sense.

It's actually a fascinating insight into how PiS supporters think.

I don't see what PiS has to do with this Akt Zgonu Politycznego... It wasn't PiS which issued it, it was Młodzież Wszechpolski.

Im more bothered about corruption today than things that happened 25 years ago.

So you are quite happy about plenty of people getting away with it because it was a long time ago...

Polish-financial-regulator-quits-but-denies-corruption

I thought that this was some old PiS scandal that has just come to light, but it seems to have nothing at all to do with the government.

There is no indication as to when this 'asking for a bribe' took place or in fact if any corruption actually took place.

Badly needed foreign workers to build the polish "Wirtschaftswunder"...

There are millions of Ukrainians on the doorstep who are more than ready to join the millions already in Poland.

What can Indians and Pakistanis provide which Ukrainians can't?

Is being Black a nationality ?

Are Muslims a race?

If not how can anyone be racist for not liking them

Some guys did serious time for FOZZ (and have now been released) but plenty got away with it.

And would one of them have been Walęsa? It happened on his watch - can't believe he didn't know anything about it....

As President at the time he must bear some responsibility.

Merged:

Polish Corruption



I'm only just getting a feel for how much corruption there has been in Poland since the Communists left power... Corruption goes hand in hand with Communism so it isn't even worth discussing, but it seems that FOZZ was the 'mother of all scandals' according to

wiadomosci.onet.pl/kraj/czym-byla-afera-fozz/w3t4nmw

It seems that some light is only just being shed on this scandal, but is anyone being held to account for the missing millions?

Plus, all 'liberal', red, PC commissars across the borders will join in, it their golden opportunity to shine.

Once the Kaczyński-Salvini alliance comes into effect a great right wing wave will sweep across Europe and destroy the Bolsheviks running the EU.

I suggest you go to the public prosecutors with your evidence.

The public prosecutors have to put their case before a judge, and we all know about the level of corruption in the judiciary... The are still largely indoctrinated in the old ways of the Soviet Union. It will take a long time for the corruption to flow out of the system since it became so deeply embedded.

It's been 3+ years now and still no evidence of an assassination.

Where do you get 3+ years?

It's less than one year!

I dont think Poland started one in the last 100 years, am I wrong?

Poland went to war with EU in defiance of its dictat regarding reforms to Poland's corrupt judicial system...

Not sure how long it will take Fuhrer Merkel to assemble an EU army to invade Poland, but it was Poland's fault for starting things...

Adamowicz was a traitor to the polish people and had to be killed for the good cause.

Stop putting words in my mouth!

Adamowicz was a popular and successful politician. His murder was heinous and totally undeserved. I would not condone any murder of a politician, not even Hillary Clinton who was the epitome of evil. But, like with probably 90% of politicians, they have a tendency to 'bend' the rules and get away with it and to a large extent it goes with the territory. I am not going to pretend that Adamowicz was squeaky clean, just a 'normal' politician.

@Dougpol1

I do apologise for the error of my ways. I have now seen the light and will in future bow down and praise Fuhrer Merkel and her right hand man Herr Tusk, and will support the the EU - erm ... Fourth Reich and hope that it does everything possible to take away the national identity from those horrible Polish supporters of PiS and establishes our common European erm German values on each member country and its citizens.

Inshallah!

Why is promoting the Constitution of the Republic of Poland a political thing?

It is no such thing - it's just a KOD political slogan. Most KODders have no idea about what it says in the Constitution , they are just repeating buzzwords they have learnt from some Soros funded institute.
