Grzegorz also has some issues with 'shady' privatisation of Polish industries and financial sector - most industries got sold for less than their 10-year share in Polish market - I was talking once to a man who was familiar with (if not insider of)Polfa Poznań privatisation (now GlaxoWelcome) - he told me Glaxo would get the return of their investment in just a couple of years (even as few as 3) - sounds like selling yourself out cheap, ain't it?

One thing - does he have similar issues with the way that flats were sold for peanuts to the occupants?

Hello everybody. I observe the whole situation from the US and must admit that it makes me wonder why does Geert Wilders expect to be supported here. His bigoted ideology expresses everything that America is against. Except few rednecks and KKK members nobody will embrace his sick radical ideas. I think, the problem that Europe faces is its inability to effectively assimilate and integrate various cultures. It is very important to extend the dialog with the representatives of various ethnic and cultural groups. This dialog would lead to creation and implementation of common values that could become the foundation for further integration. The great danger occurs when we start to alienate or condemn specific religions or minority groups. Such actions lead to further alienation and radicalisation of these groups. In perfect situation, the citizens themselves would develop more interest in different cultures, learn about them, and extract what is best. This intercultural exchange of knowledge would most certainly make people feel appreciated and incorporated into the nation. Unfortunately, people are not interested in others. We often do not care about other people's history or culture and ignore eachother. Ignorance causes all sorts of problems. It is not only the problem of native Europeans but also all minorities. They too should demonstrate interest in us and in eachother. Practical cultural education is the way to tolerance and mutual understanding. Lack of such education creates stereotypes and leads to further alienation and hostility. In case of Poles who can't find jobs, they will most likely go home sooner or later. Minimal social benefits should be only accessible to people who already worked in their host country for at least a year. The number of years one worked in the host country should determine one's access to social benefits. Governments should be allowed to deport criminals. I do not mean people who get parking or speeding tickets but those who rob or kill people. It is just common sense. I myself was born in Poland. I lived in Scotland for five years. Now I live in the US. I have never encountered hostility in any of these countries; in fact, everybody was very helpful. One has to be proud of his humanity and respect for others to be respected. Especially if one lives in a foreign country. Respect for the people, law, culture, customs of your host country will help you. If you are open and kind to people, 99% of them will be kind to you as well. If you never say Good Morning to your neighbour, they start to think of you as of an alien. Be kind, open minded, tolerant and people will respect you. If some poeple are still hostile, the others will support you. Whenever I see immigrants I try to be open to them. I say good morning, how are you. Treat them as I would want to be treated by them. It helps me, and them too. It works both ways.

Wilders is a Dutch patriot. We need someone like him in England.
