  • Perhaps a slightly controversial topic, though I want to discuss my perceptions of Safety in Poland, is Poland safe? Why is Poland safe? What makes Poland different from other countries in Europe?
    This is a complex topic, which is why I have made a longer video on this one, I hope you find it interesting and I am curious to know if you have anything to add to my findings :)

    A couple of days ago I had to visit my local city hall in southern Poland for some paperwork. They had a lost&found bilboard with a list of things people turned in as lost. A fair number of keyrings, but also:
    "A wallet with content", several times.
    "A certain amount of money"
    "A banknote"
    I mean, really? Someone found a banknote on a floor in a shopping mall and returned it to lost& found? This really boosted my faith in my fellow citizens.

      Your comment reminded me of my experience in the UK, I found a wallet someone had accidentally dropped on the street, I handed it into the police station, told to wait, was questioned how I came by it, wanted my address etc.
      My point I think is obvious, but for those not sure, the UK has become fragmented and trust no longer exists.

      Thank you for your video. Just a point about the transformation period Poland went through in the 90s. I'm a Polish person who's lived abroad in an English speaking country since 1983 but I have many relatives in Poland and still visit there. Anyhow, the only violence which befell my family in the post WW2 era was when my father was beaten up by ZOMO (ask your PL friends who these guys were, chances are some will say they were the good guys, these friends should be avoided), when he walked past a student protest in the late 70s and was mistaken for a protester. None of my relatives have ever experienced any violent crime in Poland in the 80s or 90s or 2000s. My late grandfather would complain about drug addicts outside his flat on the staircase and there were many con men and cases of large and small scale fraud, but there was relatively little violent crime. When it comes to the Polish mafia, you must surely know that the UK had similar gangs, heck there is Yakuza in Japan, one of the safest countries in the world, too. Those mafias were restricted to certain types of businesses and brothels and sold drugs or were connected to extortion but these things occurred on a very localised, small scale. Poland has always been relatively safe.

    Well done Poland for being strict on immigration. If you look at the homogeneous countries such as Japan etc, they seem to be the safest.

      Yes, my son lived in Sweden for three years up until the Plandemic.
      As a typically carefree Scot, he ended up partying in the Somali community and had an adventurous time.
      However, Sweden allowed 312 Palestinians in a few years before, and they were making and exploding bombs when he was there (But typically, their Arabic names were never mentioned, in accordance with anti-racist ideology)…..and they went on to capture the excellent Swedish culture, by sheer terror.

      To be fair David, the Swedes have thuggery in their tradition. Sweden is a country of Vikings. Who were those people? They were raepists, pillagers, murderers. They stole and took from more peaceful people. Poland had to deal with Swedes before. You may think that WW2 cost Poland dearly, we lost 20% of our population in WW2. Well in the Swedish Deluge we lost 1/3 of our population due to Swedish pillaging and invasion. We finally beat them back and signed a peace treaty and Sweden promised to return looted works of art and treasure, which the modern Swedish government to this day still hasn't done despite calls to do so. They also kept one of the biggest communist criminals and gave him shelter, a soviet era judge called Michnik, a brother of the editor of Gazeta Wyborcza, who is a wanted criminal in Poland and Sweden turned down an international arrest warrant and refused to hand him over for prosecution. I therefore have little empathy for Sweden.

    I was born 1978 and I am a witness of all changes described by you this is a big unknown what are the reasons behind them. And today I think that the reason is that a big part of our nature is being very unhappy about the current state. We complain about everything every time. And after solving problems like safety, public transport, quality of roads ore problems like dumping of rubbish in the forest it is very easy to us find another front for improvement. Even our education system which in our opinion is nightmare in fact give our kids one of the best education level on the planet, Im not even talking how accessible are free academic studies.

      Up until 1990, Scotland had one of the best Education systems on the Globe.
      We now, do not even register on any indices, because the SNP deliberately embarked on the ‘dumbing down’ of Higher Education.
      I observed and experienced all this, from inside the HE system.
      In order to attract well off overseas students, they had to lower their six hundred year old, entrance criteria, on the grounds that our elite standards were considered racist to other cultures.
      They then stopped the teaching on IQ, and dropped ‘Critical Analysis’ as the central vein of all entrance and examination questions.
      Simultaneously they introduced ‘gender-fluid’ teachings in Primary Schools, and now fund a rabble of unqualified ‘gender-fluid’ advisors, £1 Million Pa, to indoctrinate and psychologically traumatise our vulnerable children.
      Make no mistake: This was all planned by the pedophile aficionados, under the label, ( Of the additional TQ+ suffixed on to the traditional LBG Community).
      And the traditional LGB Community, are not pleased.
      The teachers were hand-picked to support this, and a normal interaction with a five year old, would be to explore their ‘gender identity’, and by that, I mean, that they are taught to dismiss their only two natural genders, and mutually explore themselves, in a “self loving way”, with their ‘Teachers’.
      Yes, the Demigurge has been in charge of our Education, since I qualified in the 90s .

    A very invaluable, considered and informed presentation and I thank you so much.
    I have lived most of my life in a Scottish town, so famed for it's crime and drug culture that they made a Channel 4 film called , "The Scheme".
    I can tell you, that that video was kind to us! Since I worked in many different roles in my town, as a in the Police Force, 'First Responder', a Social Worker, a Samaritan Counsellor', a Community IT Officer, a Lecturer etc, and now a Counselling Psychologist.
    And wherever I travel, I always view people within the context of their 'Great Tradition', and 'Little Tradition', ie National and Local, but I focus, always, on the family unit, since the culture of the family, almost always creates your local identity.
    Having said that as a contextual framework, I felt so safe and welcome in Poland, as soon as I stepped out of my car!
    I could feel my tension flow out of me, because I noticed children walking with their grandparents, people being obviously proud of their culture and hard won identity, and mostly, people being compassionate, though perhaps worryingly, I detect some negative vibes from the young generation who perhaps have their eyes set, on competing in, and naturally conquering, EU 'Market-Fever', and of course, necessarilliy compromising your own treasured moral code, for a soulless 'corporate', ethos.
    But, since I have no intention of ever leaving Poland, I can honestly say, that I have never felt more at ease, in any global culture, with the additional bonus of the best cuisine in Europe, (Maybe Portugese char-grilled fish, is a 'hankering', I have though)......the most atmospheric old towns and architecture, and a population who need to treasure what their precious culture, has accumulated over millenia, and keep those metaphorical borders, well fortified.🥺
    I love you all!

    I think there are no teenage gangs because of how children are taught by their parents. As an example: I'm friends with a couple that I've known since the primary school. The husband used to tease me a lot and still does sometimes which we've always seen as an ongoing joke. Until one day his 4 year old son told him that he (the father) cannot talk to me like that because it's rude. The father said "don't worry, son, it's OK with her". And the son said "no, you cannot do that". I was really proud because I thought my friend taught her son well. He wasn't even afraid to stand up to his own father in defence of, as he presumed, a bullied person. And, of course, the father gave up, he didn't want to give a bad example to his own son after all.

The "nationalists" who may attack colour people are mostly football hooligans who call themselves patriots (instead of idiots). The Tatars, the Muslim community still live and follow their traditions in the Podlaskie. There is also a huge Vietnamese community, respected by the Poles, because they are hardworking, reliable and ambitious. No problems with them at all. They even have their own football league. There is one thing that worries me: too fast, dangerous or drunk driving by the Polish and the Ukrainians drivers who now are the most dangerous drivers here. Many of them are also Uber drivers.

    As a Polish person who has lived in the UK for the past 17 years, I’ve seen a stark contrast between the two countries when it comes to crime and punishment. Back in Poland during the '90s and early 2000s, crime was a real issue. You could get beaten up for no reason, bikes left outside were stolen, car wheels would disappear overnight-there was all sorts of criminal activity. A lot of it was driven by high unemployment and a certain “rough” mentality that was common back then.
    However, when Poland joined the EU, things started to improve. Many petty criminals left for the UK, unemployment dropped, and people didn’t have to steal just to get by. The older generation of criminals outgrew their behaviors, and the younger ones were raised with different values. Nowadays, people would be embarrassed to act in such a backward way. Plus, in Poland, if you commit a crime, the consequences are harsher than they are in the UK. The laws here are far too lenient. There’s little respect for the police, and judges seem to let offenders off with just a slap on the wrist, letting them continue to roam the streets.
    What the UK needs are tougher laws to combat crime, something drastic even. For example, striking a deal with Russia to have UK prisoners serve their sentences in Russian prisons-that would certainly deter criminal behavior. But of course, human rights advocates would jump in. My view is simple: if you want to enjoy human rights, then act like a decent human being.

      The crime in Poland was bad but it was always mostly petty crime. Yes you could have your car stolen, and so on, but none of my relatives in Poland, ever, ever, experienced any violence from any criminals or experienced any significant financial crime. Never mind things like SA. The only violent episode in my family after WW2, occurred in communist Poland in the 1970s when my father was beaten up by ZOMO when he was walking past a student protest. Poland was always relatively safe after WW2 and when not counting soviet era repressions.

    Thank you for your very well balanced material. I can see a few people pointed out a couple of, lets say, small discrepancies or just expressed their views from a slightly different angle and that's fair, there's no need for me to elaborate and repeat what has already been said.
    I was born in Poland towards the end of 1978, I remember what it was like to live under the communists rule. I wouldnt want to go back to it. The country changed massively, not always in a good direction but hey ho. Overall it definitely is progress now against what it used to be then. I moved to the UK 20 years ago, within days of Poland joining the EU. I felt encouraged to do so having had my very positive experiences of having stayed in the UK during the summers of 2001 and 2002 as a seasonal worker on farms in Suffolk and Norfolk. But I have to say that, alas, Britain then and Britain now are two very different Britains. I met my partner here and he has been to Poland with me 3 times now - he is actually very impressed with what he saw. It is fair to say I am impressed too. Sadly, we are both unimpressed with the state of affairs on home turf, and by home I mean the UK (after all, after 20 years here it has become, a while ago actually, home here). We are considering our future options with the prospect of spending some time in the UK but perhaps most months of the year away from the UK. Even the spirit, the general atmosphere among the Brits have changed so much and became so heavy and depressing, people here are now so deluded and depressed with the UK politics and politicians that it drags us and our mood down on a daily basis. Of course we have no illusions: the UK is a mess, and there is no quick fix to it (and that's IF there is a fix to it at all). But I'm glad you found (or so it seems) your home in Poland and I'm happy to learn it's been a positive experience for you - and long may it continue that way! 👍🏻👍🏻

I have big respect for Ireland and Irish history Irish people Irish ghosts 👻 stories :)))) Anyway I am Polish man. I love Poland. Poland is generally good and peaceful country but as everywhere we have good people and bad people/ spirits.... As everywhere.... Poland is over 1000 years of history. 966 - Poland STARTED as a country. 30 % of land is forest... I love forest so is o.k. for me. All payments are monthly in Poland , basic wages for a person is about 950 euro per month. So monthly payment. Car insurance is very cheap. 5.000 people per year is doing a susaide.... , 2.000 per year is dead in car crashes.... Polish people are generally a good people with good hearts but we have bad ones..... too.... I am not a God , I can't judge anybody. I love Poland. In war world two 6 millions of people was killed in Poland by Germany and Russia..... After war world two was a communism time..... It was a very hard time to 90% of population.... A lot of troubles for 50 years.... From 1945 to 1989. Polish partizants was still on fight after war world two , it was a civil war in forest .... with a new government - comunizm..... 100.000 partizants was fighting , now they are national heros , we call them - doomed soldiers. Every year 1 of March is a national day of doomed soldiers. I love them. Most of them was killed by new government. Polish police is short of staff , 13.000 people they need to hire.... :)))) Army is growing up , they are building strong army , because of Russia.....

    I was born in Poland and after 40 years of living in the US I moved to Poland permanently a year ago. I hear about Poland being safe and I'm sure it's true but my gut feeling of personal safety is no different now from what it was living in there. I felt safe there and feel safe here, Obviously the risk of an altercation escalating to deadly violence is much higher there just by the fact of proliferation of firearms but the risk of anything happening felt just as low there as it does here. The stories of how dangerous US is are greatly exaggerated. I lived in a large metropolitan area, on the outskirts of it so it's not that I lived out in the boonies.
    One of many positive differences that I noticed during the past year is that men in Poland don't overtly stare at women which happens quite a bit in the US. Women I know there feel threatened by that sort of attention. Unwanted conversation attempts, comments about appearance, and unsolicited propositions of dates are also common there from what women tell me.
    Also, comparing to where I lived police presence in Poland is extremely low. Even driving long distances there were days between seeing a police on the road. Another positive impression is driving habits here. Roads feel safe and drivers seem to drive responsibly. Let's not forget about that because we are much more likely to be hurt on the road than anywhere else.
    Finally, if you don't like smiling, positive, and courteous strangers or people working in the service sector you are safe in Poland as well. The chances of anything of that sort happening to you are very low.

    I am a Pole and have lived in Poland all my life. I think that in Poland it is just such a period that it is safe. People are getting richer and richer and are trying to enjoy what they have, their cars, lawns or small pleasures. Poles have begun to think of Poland as a decent country and of themselves as decent people. And decent people don't steal. And they try to live decently. Image is important. I'm not going to destroy my image for some money I can make after all. That's why you can leave a wallet with money in a cafe, and as long as there's a business card there, most likely someone will call to return that wallet. But with the influx of people from other parts of the world, this may change. Someone who doesn't have his own house, lawn, children in school and is not connected to the country doesn't have such moral resistance. He doesn't have to behave accordingly. He's in a foreign country, just for a little while, passing through and someone else's thing is tempting.

      Poland was always relatively safe. I live abroad but I have tons of family in Poland and lived in Poland till 1983. Political repressions were an issue in Poland but after that I don't know of anyone in my extended family who ever experienced significant harm in the 90s or 2000s. My great parents for example who married just after the end of WW2 never had problems. They were old by the time the 1990s came and they had no issues. There were drug addicts everywhere but no violence ever met them or anyone else. Only violence we faced was the death of my one great grandfather in a German prison in 1942, death of my POW grandfather in 1944 and the death of a distant cousin at Westerplatte on the first day of WW2. My father almost had his jaw broken by ZOMO in the late 70s after walking past a student protest but that was it.Violent crime was rare in Poland, even during the transformation. Poland has a bad rep but it was not as bad as it sounds.

    There is nothing wrong with nationalism, nationalism has been deliberately targeted by the left who see patriotism and community as a threat to their ideology.
    Poland is safe because it's 98% homogenous, it practices strong christian and family values, and it hasn't been subjected to mass immigration on the scale of the rest of Europe.
    As for the pockets of abuse experienced by people including those you know, are nothing compared to the chaos we witness daily on the streets of the UK and other countries.
    So, if you don't want to say it, I'll say it multiculturalism has been an unmitigated disaster, my advice to Poland is if you want to stay safe, don't follow the rest of Europe, mainly the UK France Sweden and others

      Just think, as a parent.
      Would you invite an strange alien culture, with a history of misogyny and institutional Slavery, in to the sacred spaces of your home and your children?
      The UK did, and by use of Politically Correct language sanctions, and Positive Discrimination which enabled wholly unqualified migrants to take up key positions in our infrastructure, our once homogenous culture, has now been dismantled over forty years.
      I will not wax lyrical, however, suffice to say, the future Vice President of America, J. D. Vance, admitted two weeks ago, that the UK was now an Islamic State.

Soviet Union... Comunizm.... New - Red - Poland.... Red Government.... One Red Party... No food in shops.... Troubles , protests.... Police.... Crimes.... Dead body's in forest ..... Civil war in 1981.... I born in 1979 in City called Lublin in east Poland.... Lublin is a large city , I did skateboarding:))) and I played football ⚽ on the streets of Lublin... but when I was 12 years old , my family moved to different city called Siedlce , middle town , about 60.000 people lives in my lovely town Siedlce :))) I very miss my hometown and family....

Typical polish man would never allow to see some bad things happening. We kind of have a hero vibes that if we have opportunities than we will deffence others coz that's our history and culture. You can see the recent flood how many ppl are helping the one affected by it. Few weeks ago we had some fire in the building and some random guy went into the fire to safe some kids (not his own) with no hesitation.

A shakedown on your account will be guaranteed and serious trouble with the heavies should you wish to leave not paying. And if you're a foreign sexpat on top of that, you're a walking target, and you will gain little sympathy from law enforcement, either.

      Mnd you, it might have been foreigners who did it in the first place. My wife is Polish and when she was pregnant some 25 years ago she had an appointment at our local hospital. Whilst there she met another Polish woman who was working selling medical equipement and both being Polish, they soon started talking and became friends. She later moved to Denmark and her brother followed her there and got a job there as well. Later, one Christmas time, he travelled back to Poland with presents and his bagage but left his place to go to the toilet. He had his drink spiked on the train. He woke up only wearing his underpants and the police thought at first that he was simply drunk. I do not know if the perpetrators were Polish or foreign but I have heard of such stories. I have also heard that it is best to avoid these strip tease places in the centre of Krakow as they put things in your drink or take money out of your bank accounts charging lots of money for drinks.

    - varying classification of some acts-rape is good example here, bc many acts that would be classified as such by for example Swedish law aren’t rape in Poland, so the same thing may happen to a person in both countries but only in one will it count as a crime and rise statistics;
    -underreporting-petty theft is great example, many ppl in Poland won’t report things like bike stolen, bc chance of Police retrieving it are abysmal and Police themselves often are as uncooperative as possible to discourage ppl from filing reports for cases with low to none chances of being solved. So take Polish crime statistics with a healthy dose of salt.

Takie są oszacowania. A co do innych wskaźników przestępczości, zwłaszcza przeciwko bezpieczeństwu osobistemu w miejscach publicznych, to za kilka lat na pewno znacznie się pogorszą, ponieważ, zwłaszcza w dużych miastach, przybywa imigrantów z Azji i Afryki, a nie wszyscy oni znajdą dla siebie legalne zatrudnienie i odpowiednie warunki pobytu, a ponieważ nie będą rozproszeni, lecz przeciwnie, utworzą swoje społeczności, to nie będą się integrowali ze społeczeństwem polskim, tylko pozostaną na uboczu w odrębnych grupach, ze swoim językiem, kulturą, religią, zwyczajami i zachowaniami, a więc z wielkim potencjałem kryminogennym.
