Polish Thoughts on Britain and the British

Aj, I'm proud of you, you're getting smarter every day.

poland has a good future, aslong as the young generation rise and take over the backward politicians....can i vote living here?

I'm afraid my answer would get me into trouble without meaning to!

It's not that I think they shouldn't get to - just surprised at a Scot thinking they'd need to lol. I'd think of other countries as breaking away from England - because that is where the power has been residing i.e the need for a Scottish parliament because control was in London and not within Scotland's own power.

Again, I'm not sure eloquence has been on my side today/tonight!

its ok, but my point would come down to this, how are norway, iceland and ireland doing. we have the north sea oil in our waters, plus, 1 third of the army are scots regiments, england also have alot to loose, why else are they so against scotland having independance?

because we're awesome and they don't want to let go of us

j/k and I'm doing so because I have and cannot give a serious answer. Anyone English who can give a real response?

hehe, yeah its complicated

Because nobody in politics is standing for it.
I couldn't really be arsed one way or the other.
If the majority of Scots or Welsh or Northern Irish want something different, they should have it.
There is the West Lothian question. Scottish MPs in Westminster can vote on matters that affect England and sometimes Wales in areas where the Scottish Parliament decides how things are done north of the border.


There are some I wouldn't want to let go.
But who really has hold over whom?

UK is not divided. The word you should use is diverse. UK is more diverse than Poland.

I think Brits in general are very nice, open minded people. Unless, of course, you want to take their jobs away from them. Then, they may become a major pain in the ass.

If I came to Britain 30 years ago I wouldn’t meet so many nice, rich and liberal British people there, would I?

Yes.
As a footnote,King James VII ( II of England )declined Louis XIV offer to make him King of Poland.
Interestingly, around this time Poland was seen as a land full of opportunties for Scots and many migrated there for work and trade.

I like the Brits, I think they're cheerful. :]

Just a quick question, is Brian Jacques a famous author, by any means, in the UK?
I'm just wondering because I used to read his books all the time, and now my little cousin is planning on reading them all, so I figured I'd buy him the series. It's hard to find all of his books here in the States. I'm gonna have to go to like 8 different stores to get them all, but I've pre-ordered the new one.

Anyone even heard of him???

yeah. he is the author of redwall series...

Ok, someone finally answers. Is it pretty easy to get his books in the UK? I'm having a bit of trouble getting them all here in the US. I'm thinking it might be easier just to order them all.

The PM is Scottish. People will do anything to obtain power
and fulfill personal ambition.
members of parliament vary in nationality cos this is multicultural
country.
Referenda don't always reflect the real cause. When I was in
Wales people spoke their own language passionately.
Ajgraham's views match mine for once.
I don't need to ask the English. It's about the other 3.

It's not really that complicated because it's documented. The complicated part is the information that was hidden by Russian and other propaganda - and which is now emerging. You grew up thinking one thing - and now you find out it's not quite like that - and you can't deal with it. That's all. Noone is slagging you off. You have to be mature enough to accept that you may have not done all that you have been told.



It's not out of proportion. It's how it happened. Nice tantrum! Yes you know the truth now because I've just enlightened you.


I have not "Doctored" wikipedia becuase it would say if I did.
If you look at the bottom of the wikipedia article, there is a long list of sources and references to other articles by different people. No-one has just made this up.
The whole world can't be wrong:-
Wikipedia is written collaboratively by volunteers from all around the world. Since its creation in 2001, Wikipedia has grown rapidly into one of the largest reference Web sites. There are more than 75,000 active contributors working on some 5,300,000 articles in more than 100 languages

Hey ajgraham - Scotts rock! There's loads in Warsaw and they know how to party! They love wearing their Kilts out on the town and the local girls love them!

The world knows that Poland was invaded by Germany. You got about 2% of the whole story there.

I'll have to bring mine next time then :) (although with my legs I may just frighten the locals:) )

He was bloody right. In fact, he would become a puppet in the hands of magnates.

Didnt the Bonnie Prince Charlie speak with a Polish accent? (come on fellow Scots,ge us a break I went to school below the border so.......) I sort of remember hearing or reading that somewhere.....

French apparently. Upon setting foot on Scottish soil at Glenfinnan 1745 he pronounced
" I am come home".

BRITS SUCK!!!!!!!

Someone's just been thrown out the pub

NO! Someone has dated a pompous a*s*s!

Thank you for sharing that with us

Not all of them...

brits have best sense for humour in whole world.that's why I like brits.
but british cuisine is not for me.

agree :)

Im English. I have a few thoughts of the Polish. 1 I dont like the way they sit there talking in their own language and 2 I find the slighty arrogant and I get the impression they think their better than us. Im sorry for sounding harsh but its my thought. I do have 1 or 2 polish work friends.

I also would like to ask a question if I may. Out of all the countries in Europe, why do you choose to come to England to live and work?
