Britain - problem for Poland and Poles?

See in Australia we're like a different species.

Britain - problem for Poland and Poles?

No.

Britain's problem is Britain. They don't need external enemies. Today, Hitler would refuse to invade Britain just as I would rather sleep in my car than in a motel with bed bugs.

When your government is your worst enemy that's a big problem that can be solved only the way the French solved theirs in 1789 - by killing them all and starting from scratch...

Bollocks, you're hot-weather England with a debilitating gambling problem. Australia is what happens when you ship all your most degenerate criminal alcoholics off to the other side of the world. You are literally the descendants of the worst of the British isles in an ex-penal colony full of poisonous animals.

You are proud to live in a country that has 'active shooter drills' in schools because they are regularly the sites of gun massacres. I think perhaps even Hitler would look at the US and think "what a disgusting, moral-less country". Stalin, Hitler, Mao and all the others would probably view a country that is fine with regular massacres of children as being beyond the pale. No other society on Earth is fine with the mass murder of children, except your one. What does that say to you?

@ActiveShooter▲ 0▼ 0

The left wants active shooters in schools and dead kids.

This is their way to get rid of the Second Amendment.

How many active shooter cases in the US were at police stations, courthouses, or gun stores? Duh!

Only at American schools because the leftist motherfvckers deliberately leave them unprotected...

How many active shooter cases were in Israel in 2024? Duh!

Would you fvck with this lady?

How many active shooter cases have Poland or the UK had, you weird old man?

1. Therefore, what...Have an idea for us? OK...Spit it out...

2. I don't give a fvck about Poland or the UK.

@Novichok▲ 0▼ 0

1. Extreme gun control is unfortunately the only way to stop you savages living with regular massacres of children. You can't be trusted with them.

2. You are voraciously posting on Polishforums.com like your life depends on it and giving your unsolicited, ignorant, bullshit opinions about the UK and Poland, so you could have damn well fooled me, old man.

King Charles 'deeply touched' at global reaction after speaking about cancer battle

This clown is "deeply touched" about "global reaction", but not about migrant invasion or the riots by his "subjects".

Hey, Brits, I can be your king for half of what you pay this useless idiot...

Reform UK chairman David Bull tells Newsnight that if Labour had fielded Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham as its candidate, the party "would have won".

"But Keir Starmer didn't want him on the pitch. This is all about the preservation of Keir Starmer."

Same old Blairite Bastards running the Labour party to the ground.

Yeah, or maybe more likely the FSB, formerly known as the KGB.....although Epstein was Jewish his links to Russia were stronger..... because they paid better....

All you can offer are yet more lies from dubious sources. The video you link to says.


That is very simply a lie. Look at the International Migrant Stock 2024 reports from the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (available here un.org/development/desa/pd/content/international-migrant-stock) and you will see that 184,964 is the total of all people who have moved to Poland from the UK, not the number of British people who have moved to Poland.

Unfortunately the UN hasn't released data for 2024 breaking down the number of people who moved to Poland by citizenship, but for every single year that the UN has released that data (i.e. from 1998 to 2103) far more Polish citizens moved to Poland that citizens of every other country in the world combined. The closest it ever got was in 2013, when 220,311 people moved to Poland and 60% of them were Polish citizens (131,431 Polish citizens and 88,880 others). You can see that for yourself in International Migration Flows to and from Selected Countries: The 2015 Revision from the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (available here un.org/development/desa/pd/data/international-migration-flows).

You can't select a regional mayor as a parliamentary candidate. That is why he didn't stand.

If he wins now, being no longer the mayor, and triggers an internal contest within the party that internal vote could go either way,

@jon357▲ 0▼ 0

Yeah, it's all complete bollocks. And being quoted in a very blatant way to support a laughably narrative.

"We used to come your country to make money, now you come to the Poland because yours disappearing down U-bend, isn't it majt? Hoho, hihi, the schadenfreude almost too much for me xD"

Bottom line: it isn't that the UK is getting dramatically worse. UK natives aren't leaving for Poland in droves. The reality is that Poland is no longer an absolutely terrible place to be, so *Poles* are returning. And that's a pretty nice story, one Poles should feel good about. But the inferiority complex prefers a headline that says "now WE are becoming the bogactwo country (and so cleaner and sajf), so now YOU all come here to clean OUR toilets". The bitterness is never far from the surface...

@BogactwoPoland▲ 0▼ 0

So the Henry Nowak case is normal?

I for one am happy Brits aren't coming to Poland. They have a terrible track record of being unable to do the basic things needed to integrate like learn the foreign language and deal with the local system as is rather than whinge about how things are back in the UK.

Is any EU country with a large British population actually happy about that?

@mafketis▲ 0▼ 0

Go and ask the Germans, Dutch and Scandinavians how they feel about their Polish populations.

And btw are Americans known for learning the local language? Or just jumping the citizenship queue because they had some ancestors in that country 100-150 years ago, bypassing the language requirements entirely, and expecting everyone to speak English to them wherever they go?

If Brits are in your country, they aren't going to be taking state benefits and the chances are they'll be paying heavy tax. And they aren't sending money 'back home' or eventually planning to leave - with a pension from your country - when they've earned enough to build a big tacky house in their country of origin.

Brits eventually HAVE to learn Polish, or struggle while relying heavily on their Polish significant other. Poles in the UK are lavished with free language support to use public services - as a 'human right' - and STILL manage to whinge ungratefully 24/7, all while receiving the kind of state benefits even Ukrainian war refugees can only dream of back in Poland.

@BogactwoPoland▲ 0▼ 0

I remember when I knew 3 or 4 Americans (no Polish ancestry) who could deal with bureaucracy without needing an interpreter and at the same time and equal number of Brits who didn't know much more than "Dzień dobry Pan".

Americans like broad social networks and so they do what they have to do to have those. Brits (like many Europeans) seem happier with much smaller circles of acquaintances.

There are exceptions but ime Brits do not do well in Poland in terms of dealing with things as they are (Scandinavians go two ways, either they get super fluent or remain completely ignorant and it doesn't seem to depend on country).

@mafketis▲ 0▼ 0

Americans have been trained by their DMVs and Social Security, and Medicaid, and VA, and IRS, and HOA, and a million other places - to love bureaucracy.

I've never encountered US-style bureaucracy anywhere else in the world... and what compounds the problem is their insistence on hiring people with an average IQ of 80, or even full blown mental disability.

When I tell people that in most of the CIS, your entire relationship with the government lives within a single app - they don't believe me.

Even in Kenya the situation is better.

America still lives in the early 20th century as far as government is concerned. At least in NY. Maybe California is somehow better.

@Bobko▲ 0▼ 0

Poles do not do AT ALL well with dealing with things as they are. Hence even with all the free government support in the world, huge Polish communities to fall back on, all the Polish junk they could ever want in all the shops, they still find time to complain constantly about a country that bends over backwards for them, much more than Poland does for anyone. How entitled and insular does a people have to be that they simply must have their own brands of fruit juice, energy drink and flour in local supermarkets? The answer is 'very, very'.

I guarantee that most of those Brits you're talking about got dragged here by their Polish wife. They already made the sacrifice of emigrating to her home country, largely for her benefit - I think you can cut them a little slack in having a difficult adjustment. The Americans who came here (those who didn't do it for that reason) just wanted to cash in their free no-strings 'blood' citizenship, spend dollars in a place with wages about 1/4 of those back home, and be a loser back home who can now be a bigshot in 'the old country'.

@BogactwoPoland▲ 0▼ 0

@BogactwoPoland
Have you even visited a local Russian or Ukrainian store outside of their own countries (eg. in the US or Canada)? They even import perishable products like yogurt or milk, so Poles are not that bad in that aspect.

@Ron2▲ 0▼ 0

Wouldn't that make it horrendously expensive? If so, that is certainly amazing - to spend all that money on something very generic, with a low shelf-life after being shipped half the way across the world, just because it's from the motherland.

You can also buy Polish milk brands in UK supermarkets - not even just at Polski skleps - at a hefty markup: tesco.com/shop/en-GB/products/263294438?srsltid=AfmBOorGCeZkaNEIyCccgc3tl0KqF27_h7f2XDn0ZQaRp6fxYsZ2wcj7

Imagine being so fragile and nationalistic that you can't even bring yourself to buy local brands of milk, or black pepper, or flour, and spending extra money completely needlessly, because tHe PoLiSh OnE iS BeTtEr and you're scared of foreign things. Then spending your days bitching about a host country that has made things as comfortable as can be imagined for you and basically allowed you to live like back home in Bydgoszcz, surrounded by Poles and Polish stuff, except with 2x the wages.

@BogactwoPoland▲ 0▼ 0

Actually quite a lot of stuff is actually cheaper.
One of the things I always buy from Polish brand is ketchup. Just prefer the taste

@Lenka▲ 0▼ 0

I don't think it has much to do with "being nationalistic".

You simply miss your favorite foods from back home.

Alternatively, your significant other is a local - and you want her/him to try what you ate while growing up.

-//-

To make the trip across the Ocean, and then to survive for weeks/months on shelf - these products are stuffed full of preservatives, like potassium sorbate.

Eating these doesn't do anything good for your health, it's just nostalgia.

@Bobko▲ 0▼ 0

Dude comparing to Brits Poles are assimiliting very well. If you take out of the equation English speaking countries, Brits are terrible in that regard, importing all British brands.
F hypocrisy.

@Ironside▲ 0▼ 0

What British brands? Please tell me what British brands you can see in Biedronka, or even Carrefour/Auchan hypermarts, or in any Spanish or US supermarkets (bigger UK populations there).

The most you'll see is Marmite and Tetley tea (Heinz - beans and ketchup - is an American company). Maybe some Cadbury's chocolate. Those are shelf-stable goods with no equivalent in the local market (ok, black tea is available everywhere...). Now compare that to Poles needing their own brands of milk, black pepper, energy drinks, fruit juice, flour, ****** generic tasteless yellow cheese, and all the other crap Poles absolutely need in every British supermarket and Polish shop across the land. You have an entire aisle of Polish junk and a chiller cabinet too, and apart from the kabanosy, kefir and sledzik, most of it's not exactly unique cultural cuisine stuff. Like I said, how entitled and insular, and against integration, do you need to be to buy Polish brands of generic white flour in a foreign country?

@BogactwoPoland▲ 0▼ 0

sainsburys.co.uk/groceries/product/lubella-puszysta-tortowa-baking-flour-1kg

Generic white baking flour, but a Polish brand, available in British supermarkets across the land. Tell me any country, any at all, where Brits expect the same.

@BogactwoPoland▲ 0▼ 0

Spain.

@Ironside▲ 0▼ 0

Tell me you've never actually been to a Spanish supermarket without actually saying it. Have you ever even been to Spain?

You're joking, right? Like I said, which British products do you see in everyday Spanish supermarkets - or even big hypermarkets in El Corte Ingles malls? Now look in any normal Sainsbury's or Tesco's across the UK and marvel at all the frivolous generic **** you will see under Polish brand names. I tell you what - you'll never see Homepride flour in Mercadona. But the pampered Poles expect all their junk in the equivalent across the UK.


You can miss kabanosy, sure. But can you miss Prymat black pepper, or find it markedly different from any other black pepper you can find in your host country? Same goes for milk, flour, and all the other crap the pampered, nationalistic Poles expect because they simply can't bring themselves to buy identical local equivalents.

It's wild stuff, my friend. The Indian/Caribbean sections of British supermarkets just have things they need to cook their cuisines - particular spices, canned or jarred preserves, etc. Meanwhile, the haughty Poles need a whole aisle of Black Energy Drink (which is just ****** Red Bull) and Polish brands of flour and black pepper. A hilarious people who expect the red carpet thrown out in front of them and still complain constantly about every tiny thing.

@BogactwoPoland▲ 0▼ 0

You don't think English supermarkets are benefiting from this? Why do you think they are stocking Polish goods in the first place? Supermarkets saw a gap in the market and filled it. Nothing to do with 'demanding' Poles and everything to do with supermarket profits.


There's a difference between Polish and English flour. In Poland they don't have self-raising flour for example. They add soda to flour, and there are different grades of flour which are used for baking different things. I've used Polish flour when I've made Polish cakes etc because I've followed a POLISH recipe. Nothing to do with entitlement etc, they just want whatever they've baked to taste the same as when they made it back in Poland. English flour is not the same.


Exactly.
