When I heard of Lech Walesa's Solidarnosc movement the first time I thought he was a traitor, even that he was bought (or at least heavily influenced) by some "Western" country. It wouldn't have been the first time that some Western countries or their secret services tried to spread discontent and to sow rebellion into "socialist" countries. Account frozen... ID: 595973 ·

When was that? 1989? Maybe it was overshadowed by the breakup of the Soviet Union, a little later. Maybe Tianenman Square and the breakup of the Berlin Wall had something to to with that, too. Weren't they both 1989? ID: 596018 ·

Perhaps, but that doesn't diminish the bravery of the Polish people who faced down an awful dictatorial government, which eventually led to freedom and democracy for her people, and free religious expression. Maybe people in your own country asked the same question some years after your revolution. Wasn't one of the objects of your War of 1812 a land grab for what is now Canadian territory? ID: 596034 ·

No, of course it doesn't diminish the achievements of the movement. But as history shows, time goes by, and the unfortunate disease of opportunism seeps in. ID: 596044 ·

We have some very nice Polish people renting the house next door at the moment. To hear them talk of their homeland you'd think it was still the same. And no they are NOT plumbers!!! Hi Chris. I can tell you that all mother ever talks about is 'her' country. She was taken as a slave by the Nazis in WW2 to Germany and now the UK government will not let her visit Poland - her UK travel document says she can visit any country, except for Russia or Poland. I have asked the UK Home Office if they will let her visit Poland to see the village in which she was born, to visit with the people that she knew, but they said they will confiscate her travel document if she tried. Nice world eh? Fair Treatment For All SETIzens!!!! including Es99 and Dogbytes! flam ing balloons ID: 596510 ·
