Trecker takes his marching orders and trots out the same tired narrative:
what a shame. I invite everyone interested to comment there.
Quite interesting commentary:
Of course we, Slavs, are inferior to civilised Western Europeans. We should again invite Uebermenschen so that they would teach us something.
The problem is that from the fact that countries are Slavic-speaking, all the authors derive that they are inhabited by Slavic inhabitants only. Ukraine and Russia are countries with strong early influence of Vikings (Varangians), the CE region was originally inhabited by Celts (e.g. Boiis). Moreover, the CE regions was very exposed to European-wide events and wars and thus the people are both genetically mixed and culturally formed by numerous influences.
Have just noticed the following stories, what happened in civilized England after their team lost to Italy on penalties:
Just make your own comparison, how were the English fans treated in Ukraine after Ukrainian team got eliminated, or Czech fans in Poland after their footballers kicked our boys out of tournament.
Which English word would be best suited to describe the situation? Hypocrisy? Chauvinism?
And what about this - the Afro-English players received most insults from their own national fans ;-)
The British racists are vile and and extremely dangerous. The players should stay in Poland for their own safety - if they go back to England they could end up in a coffin.
How many days before the London 2012 are BBC Panorama prejudiced reporters going to make a new report called "Stadiums of extreme hate"? Or another one about John Terry? Or "Hooligans of which country are responsible for the tragedy at Haysel Stadium?
Readers might be interested in reading and signing this petition against BBC 'Stadiums of Hate':
Readers might be interested in this new article published on Monday in spiked on the same issue: http://www.spiked-online.com/site/article/12552/
Also read first person experience of a Jewish girl who visited Ukraine for EK 2012 "I went all the way to 'racist' Kiev and all I got was love":
Unanswered question remains: Who's interest was it to paint Poles and Ukrainians as savage beasts by BBC Panorama? I don't believe in conspiracy theories but there must have been broader support behind this idea than few maniac BBC journalists.
Nah, sadly it was a few maniac journalists.
They weren't stopped because of the lack of knowledge in the UK about the realities of the CEE region. It wasn't broad support, it was ignorance.
Wonderful first person experience of a Jewish girl btw - thanks for linking.
I guess it would be the same in Poland, except the guy in the T-shirt would be getting his head kicked in.
Yes. Wearing or popularizing Nazi symbols is forbidden in Poland by low. Punishment for that is up two two years in prison.
It must have been nice in Poland during Euro 2012. The numbers say that at least. 81% of the guests wants to return to Poland once more and 91% will recommend visiting Poland to their friends http://wyborcza.pl/1,75478,11943693,81_proc__zagranicznych_kibicow_chce_...
I wander how much longer will BBC hold their stand that desinformation is something pro publico bono. English Football Association will file written complaint against misleading English football fans on situation in Poland and Ukraine http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-2163407/Euro-2012-FA-set-rap-Pa...
Roy Hodgson, coach for the England football team:
England's support at Euro 2012 has suffered because of "horror stories" in the media discouraging fans from traveling to Poland and Ukraine, England coach Roy Hodgson has said.
Discussions of racism and hooliganism in the two host countries featured widely in the British media in the run-up to the tournament, while former England defender Sol Campbell warned that fans risked coming back "in a coffin".
The brother of black England player Theo Walcott cited fears of racism at the reason Walcott's family would not travel to Euro 2012.
Speaking after England beat Ukraine 1-0 in Donetsk on Tuesday, Hodgson labeled the debate "the biggest negativity in England" and said that it had diminished the team's traveling support.
"As a result I think we've lost a lot of fans who didn't come because of a lot of horror stories about how life would be in the Ukraine and Poland," he said.
Hodgson added that he had nothing but positive impressions of Poland, where England are based, and Ukraine, where they played all their group stage games.
Ukraine finished third in Group D with three points from a 2-1 win over Sweden in their opening game.
Italy await England in their quarterfinal match, to be played Sunday in the Ukrainian capital Kiev.
Did you notice what is the country where this information has been published? It's RUSSIA! It's quite ironic that we must reach out to Russian Information Agency to find out the truth. BBC still has blockade on anything positive about Poland.
I like also this article "England's football fans have proven that they are far more racially enlightened than the BBC" http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/brendanoneill2/100166543/englands-foot...
I don't expect BBC to make up their mind though. I think that we are dealing at much deeper anti-Polish problem at BBC than anyone could expect.
Yes, Brendan O'Neill has a brilliant mind. Thanks for a great link.
With respect, while it is true that the BBC has done nothing to admit any responsibility for the damage caused by the Panorama programme, it is untrue that the "BBC still has blockade on anything positive about Poland."
For example, this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-18151512
The BBC has not planned an anti-Polish operation. Rather, the Panorama programme is guilty of sensationalist, stereotyping, unbalanced, unethical journalism and the BBC has failed to come clean about how it profoundly breached the organization's published policies on honesty and balance. Plenty of Muslims and Israeli Jews complain about BBC coverage for the very same reasons.
Yes, however in a category: racism, anti-Semitism, WWII their rhetoric is misleading. This is a report about disinformation in BBC programmes. Unfortunately, only in Polish.
Are you suggesting they didn't film 2000 people in a stadium making Nazi salutes? Which parts exactly did they stage with actors and fabricate?
I've ambivalent feelings. Yes, BBC happens to write/say something good about Poland, but in most cases, it's the opposite. If you have time, please download this report http://www.germancampspolishvictims.info/ People at BBC either are unbelievably ignorant and stupid, or the anti-Polish propaganda is a real thing. Very dangerous.
The thing is you can film such scenes in literally every country (and especially the UK) and make a full-time movie of them. When the Russian and Polish hooligans fought after the match, it was less than 200 people involved in the fights. Some about 200 000 were having fun together, but this BBC refused to film and show. Pathetic tabloid. BBC presents the lowest kind of 'journalism', unethical and sensational. http://www.spiked-online.com/site/article/12552/
The question that you seem to be avoiding is... 2000 people making Nazi salutes was completely ignored by the clubs and dismissed by the police as 'pointing' to 'get attention'. This is nothing to do with fighting. I have never been anywhere in the UK with 2000 people making Nazi salutes at a public event and shouting anti-Semitic chants. Maybe you have and think its acceptable? I for one am not in denial about right wing Ultras and do not think it is something that can be dismissed as media bias.
Yes, that is unsettling and should be condemned, (you may be talking about the Ukraine I'd think, although loud minorities of yob idiots making saltues are found in Poland too), but a journalist's duty to do is portray that in the context of two very complex nations as a whole where there is a far more accurate wealth of information to be found on the issue: http://www.twohundredpercent.net/?p=18996. Instead both nations are judged through an Anglocentric lens, and these single events are used to push one narrative instead of bothering to accurately report the context of the whole country in which these events happened. This I find ignorant and irresponsible.
I am not going to be an apologist for Fascism based on some perceived geo-political 'Get Out Of Jail Free' card. I reject the condition that we can only challenge fascism with a full and balanced portrait of a wider society. The scale of fascism in Polish and Ukrainian football is warrant for expose without extensive wider social context beyond what the BBC showed. The narrative is thousands of people making Nazi salutes and chanting "death to Jews". I don't get why this is dismissed as "complex" or an "Anglocentric" sensitivity. Maybe you have not watched the films of the Allies opening up the Nazi Death Camps? Fascism should be challenged at all times. Countries that do not challenge organized fascism of the scale in CEE football should not be awarded major events. There is nothing ignorant and irresponsible about that.
So... you just basically dismissed everything I said and attempt to explain it away.
I suppose by your logic showing selected footage of violence and racial crime in England as well as the BNP's activities is 'warrant for expose without extensive wider social context'. Ta-da, I've just proved England is a rising fascist state (not that its political elite would need my attempt to prove it these last two decades; they've done quite enough to show for it on their own...)!
It's like you're going back to square one with all these assumptions and sweeping generalizations. I think we are talking past one another at this point, which is a shame. Enjoy your 'crusade' and keep your mind tight and tidy I guess.
And footballing web sites
Now even The Sun is standing up to prejudice, negative stereotyping and hatred of Central and Eastern Europeans as demonstrated by BBC Panorama:
I just found that English football fans protest against BBC Panorama already for quite a long time. Just watch this video. It was published last week. Check around ~2:40 and than around ~6:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoHec9Qr4kU
IMHO they sing "F..ck Sol Campbell" and "We're coming back in a coffin" Coooooool!!!!
This video is good as well. Do you think they'll broadcast in on BBC and CNN? I seriously doubt:
Of course you will not find this information on BBC.
If there is still anyone who does not believe that the Dutch media are quite critical about BBC Panorama and Sol Campbell I'd like to provide you with yet another reaction about this program that I just received from another Dutch journalist:
"Ex-England-captain Sol Campbell warned that fans risk "coming back in a coffin". The documentary (i.e. Stadiums of Hate) was over the top tendentious."
I'd like to repeat "THE DOCUMENTARY WAS OVER THE TOP TENDENTIOUS" and this is opinion of an impartial Dutch journalist.
Mirror seems to be more direct (as usual):
"(...) The men behind the stunt said Campbell should apologise for what he said.
Nick Bohn, 43, who runs a car repair garage, said Campbell was "stupid" for making the comments.
"It's complete and utter rubbish. At no point have we felt afraid or threatened out here.
"He should have thought before he spoke," he said.
Sports centre manager Tim Ashwell, 40, said: "I think he should apologise for his comments because it was unjust.
IMHO they should fire the whole BBC crew responsible for producing this "over the top tendentious" program and of course provide apologies to the fans and the organizers i.e. Poland and Ukraine.
The following is without doubt the very best article on the this topic of Western European cultural superiority, or 'neo-racism', the worst of which was demonstrated by BBC Panaroma:
Interestingly enough, it is penned by an Irishman.
I am very sad that BBC showed programme "Stadiums of hate". It is crazy how easily you can manipulate people using mass media. Shall everyone in Europe stay home and not go to the London Olimpic Games because of the riots or shooting taking place in teh capital of the UK? Rasism, anti-semitism and hooligans are present in Poland as in France, Italy,the UK or any other European country... I was in Krakow and attended the open training session of Dutch team. Almost 25.000 people attended and enjoyed it. Only around 50 hooligans of Wisla Krakow shouted and sang songs against their rivals - Cracovia team and EURO 2012. I did not hear rasist shouts (tried hard to hear them cause I had seen the BBC "documentary" 2 days before). After 10 minutes those assholes were bored and left the stands. Nobody mentiones happy crowds, mexican wave,etc. Moreover, Krakow council have analyzed monitoring recordings after UEFA warned them to act against such behaviour and... they found nothing... surprise, surprise.. Shame on BBC! Shame on the propaganda of British mass-media! Come to Poland, have a nice time! Enjoy life!
I saw the stadium of hate program and it was the Ukraine that came out looking very bad.
Some Asian students got beaten up by racist fans in Ukraine while officials took a long time to react.
It actually happend and it was filmed and the BBC interviewed the Asian students who were beaten up and they said the Ukraine police were of no help.
Some Ukrainians are racists. Some Jews are communists. Some black people carry spears.
Here's a comprehensive analysis of the 'Ukrainian Untermensch' for you:
Oh yes and if one points out that Asian fans got beaten up by racists in Ukraine, than one has a "untermensch" complex.
What do you suggest the media do? Impose a blackout on all racist incidents in Ukraine ?
Perhaps it is you who has a untermensch complex, not feeling that prejudice and racism against non-whites is not worthy enough to be reported while very tiny prejudice against central Europeans real or imagined should be shouted at from the roof tops.
Perhaps you should look at your own prejudices before pointing the finger at others.
I have lived in the United Kingdom for 10 years and I experienced racism from British a lot.
Steve Sax wrote some rubbish about himself. Who do you think you are Sax? Are you doing these things for money?
The guardian claims it was "hundreds" making the alleged chants during the Dutch training:
all of this is getting increasingly interesting. I am no fan of UEFA, but I am very skeptical of the British press as well; this latest fiasco hasn't improved my opinion of them...
Again agree. Strange is that the Dutch themselves (except Bommel) deny that anything racist happened in Krakow but Brits still insist that there was a lot of racism there. Also shameful that BBC refers to the changed statement of UEFA that they forced themselves.
I'm happy to see though that the Dutch quality media like de Volkskrant support us Poles in finding the truth.
Western European liberals often treat Israeli Jews with even more contempt than they treat Poles. Interestingly enough, most Israeli Jews are default Polish nationals according to Poland's 'law of return'.
It gets indeed better and better. Yesterday i.e. on the 16'th of June Steve Sax, the BBC journalist has sent the following twitt after the game lost by Poland against Czech:
"Haha and fuck off to Poland, send your racist nazi fans home #polskapricks"
I guess that this exactly depicts the type of anti-Polish bias that is present in BBC. I don't think that we can expect any objectivity from this type of people.
While we are on the subject of "exaggerations", shouldn't you say "some" western European liberals, usually the hard left?
Stay classy UK.
Your talk about the UEFA's attitude towards the incident with a Dutch team was unsubstantiated. However, it is likely that the Dutch daily De Volkskrant is highly critical to the behaviour of Polish fans in that incident too.
8th of June
"It turned out that the players on the public training on Wednesday had been annoyed by jungle sounds from the Polish public."
11th of June
"The UEFA today demanded adequate measures of the Polish and Ukrainian authorities to prevent racist or discriminatory expressions."
Could you provide any link to De Volkskrant about the fabrication of the incident as you note in the previous thread? Or perhaps you did not interpret or understood it right. Is it?
The reporter needs to be reprimanded. Send this to the Anti-Defamation League, UEFA, etc etc.
That's beautiful example of how a lie ignited by de Telegraaf and spread by British media boomeranged back to the Netherlands. Here you have a report made by correspondent of de Volkskrant for European Cup on it. With a nice case description on how BBC journalists where trying to pump it up. There was also other reporter of de Volkskrant that confirmes what was really happening.

Rumoer om oerwoudgeluiden
Op een te droog veld met te lang gras in zonnig Charkov trainde Oranje voor het laatst, alvorens het avontuur van het EK vandaag begint met het duel tegen Denemarken. En passant zette bondscoach Van Marwijk een dikke streep onder de discussie over vermeende racistische spreekkoren bij de openbare training van woensdag in Krakau.
CHARKOV - Nederland trainde een uur ontspannen en met een lach in het stadion van Metallist, af en toe begeleid door een vreugdekreet na een mooi doelpunt bij het afronden. De internationals beoordeelden het gras als te lang en te droog. Het zal zaterdag voor de wedstrijd nog worden gesproeid en mogelijk gemaaid. Voor de lengte van de sprieten zijn UEFA-richtlijnen.
De internationale persconferentie ging met name over zogenaamde oerwoudgeluiden, een 'affaire' die buiten de landsgrenzen veel groter is dan in Nederland. Op het moment dat de verslaggever van de BBC vroeg of Van Marwijk ook bezorgd was om de uitingen van racisme, terwijl de bondscoach net had uitgelegd dat hij ze niet had gehoord, zei hij stellig:
'Ik ben niet van plan op elke persconferentie tien keer hetzelfde antwoord te geven. Ik heb ze niet gehoord, dat zei ik net.'
De zaak, vooral aangezet door de Telegraaf, krijgt wat mysterieuze trekjes. Vooral Britse media, die van racisme in Polen en Oekraïne een speerpunt in de verslaggeving hebben gemaakt, duiken massaal op de voor veel Nederlands media niet eens bestaande zaak.
Alleen sommige spelers hoorden blijkbaar gedurende een korte periode boegeroep van een klein groepje fans van de harde kern van Wisla, toen ze tijdens de door 22 duizend overwegend vrolijke en enthousiaste toeschouwers bezochte training rondjes liepen, kort langs de tribunes.
Ze besloten daarop volgens aanvoerder Van Bommel de rest van de oefeningen een stukje verderop te houden. Van Marwijk vond dat allang best, want het was lawaaiig langs de kant. 'Er was alleen rumoer en geschreeuw. Nu kon Ruud Hesp met de doelmannen trainen bij dat doel waar het lawaai vandaan kwam.'
Aanvoerder Mark van Bommel: 'De hele groep heeft het gehoord. Het was de juiste beslissing wat op te schuiven, een initiatief van ons allemaal.' Een vreemde opmerking. Eerder zeiden velen, onder wie Willems en De Jong, dat hen niets was opgevallen.
Robert Maaskant, voormalig trainer van Wisla Krakow, gaf woensdag een andere uitleg aan het boegeroep. Volgens hem ging het om protesten tegen het niet toebedelen van duels aan Krakau, de tweede stad van Polen, en de behandeling van fanatieke supporters door de autoriteiten in het algemeen. Het zou ook kunnen dat de spelers het boegeroep anders hebben geïnterpreteerd dan de fans het bedoelden, waarbij aangetekend dat racisme in Poolse stadions een erkend probleem is.
Van Marwijk sprak ook, kort, over de wedstrijd. 'We hebben dezelfde speelstijl en geen geheimen voor elkaar', aldus de bondscoach, die zijn opstelling in het hoofd heeft.
Vrijwel zeker vervangt Feyenoorder Ron Vlaar de geblesseerde Joris Mathijsen, die wel meereisde naar Charkov om zich te laten behandelen aan een hamstringblessure.
Van Marwijk verwacht dat Mathijsen inzetbaar is in de volgende groepsduels, tegen Duitsland en Portugal.
I would ignore this PRICK, he is nobody and that is the only way how he can get publicity for himself. The worst type of person ever, should be ignored and excluded from press world.
I've sent this link already a few times during this discussion but I'll do that once more especially for you (I hope that moderator forgives me)
That is another source which claims that information about "monkey chants" in Krakow has been fabricated:
The most important statement from this article is:
"Volkskrantverslaggever Paul Onkenhout suggereert ook dat het verhaal over oerwoudgeluiden (bedoeld wordt: apengeluiden, geuit als discriminatie van spelers met een donkere huid) uit de duim gezogen is"
Which after my translation to English sounds as follows:
"De Volkskrant reporter Paul Onkenhout suggests also that the story about monkey chants (in Krakow) is fabricated".
Indeed. But very useful. In the previous system we called such guys as "Поле́зный идиот".
Thank you for posting this. This represents consideration about the incident by Willem Wissers from local Dutch daily, though no new facts are given by him on the issue. Willem Wissers neither denies the incident nor provides anything about fabrication of the story. He mentions about a possibility that the Dutch players have interpreted differently the boos than the fans meant.
As for the leugens.nl, I think that we should not descent to a level of exotic local internet sites that "analyse" the abuses, lies and possible conspiracies. Those who have to tell something really important they use a variety of respected news media. If one does not like BBC or overall British media, there is a plenty of other vehicles for news like CNN, DW etc.
Unfortunately I have to strongly disagree with your statement. As BBC has taken the "local" de Telegraaf as a reference I wander why haven't they taken de Volksrkant? I think that we both know why. That would not confirm BBC theory that Poland is full of racists. Anyway. Regardless of what the lawyers will say the fact that BBC has taken de Telegraaf view instead of de Volkskrant leaves a lot's of question marks. Also the fact that none of the colored players haven't heard anything racist makes it even more doubtful. Leugens.nl is not exotic web site. They didn't do anything more than I did. They simply interviewed they eye witness i.e. respected reporters from a respected Dutch daily, who on the contrary to BBC didn't lose their credibility yet.
If BBC would like to be objective than they should publish interviews with both colored players who didn't hear anything and also the coach of the Dutch team. Instead. BBC was showing only the white guy who thought that he heard something.
That is exactly same technique that they've been using during making of "Stadiums of hate" they were filtering our all the information that didn't fit their thesis.
And BTW. Willem Vissers DENIES THAT ANYTHING RACIST HAS BEEN SAID.
"Alleen sommige spelers hoorden blijkbaar gedurende een korte periode boegeroep van een klein groepje fans van de harde kern van Wisla, toen ze tijdens de door 22 duizend overwegend vrolijke en enthousiaste toeschouwers bezochte training rondjes liepen, kort langs de tribunes."
"Only some of the players heard apparently in a short period boeoeoe calling from a small group of hard core Wisla fans, while they have been training at the audience of 22 thousands overwhelming enthusiast and joyfool supporters"
But I think that we should stop this discussion. It starts to remind me "Strzyzone golone" story that I read long time ago in primary school.
Be careful with generalisations. The tweet was disgusting and I'll make no defense and quite rightly.
However, the BBC employ thousands of journalists, many are freelance as this one appears to be. If you read through his twitter history, there is absolutely nothing there that even remotely resembles the tone of this isolated remark. So, I'd say there is more than a strong possibility that an idiot posted a incredibly poor taste tweet using an account of someone loosely related to the BBC, and one that was deleted within minutes of being posted.
Therefore I think it's a bit of stretch to extrapolate that this is proof that the whole of the BBC is anti-polish. This parallels the very argument you are defending - isolated and very rare racist incidents at football matches in Poland and Ukraine most certainly do not make both the enitre population of both countries racist.
Time magazine has reported that the deputy mayor of Gdansk made racist comments:
Read more: http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/06/14/euro-2012-gaffe-is-poland-a-place-fo...
"Andrzej Bojanowski, the deputy mayor of Gdansk – one of the four Polish host cities of Euro 2012 – gave football fans, visitors and residents a rather uncomfortable welcome during a radio interview on Tuesday.
Poland's image is already under the scrutiny of sport-lovers globally, following aggressive Russian-Polish brawls, alleged "monkey chants" directed at Italy's Mario Balotelli, and apparent abuse hurled at the Czech Republic's Theodor Gebre Selassie elsewhere in the country. And Bojanowski's choice of words, when praising the honorable residents of Gdansk, has only made things worse.
(MORE: Racism and Euro 2012: Football's Ongoing Struggle)
He explained in the live radio broadcast: "I thank residents and city employees for behaving like normal civilized white people toward our guests who have in turn also behaved like normal white people."
Unsurprisingly, the deputy mayor hastily apologized that day after coming under fire from many horrified listeners. An official from the Foundation for Freedom, a Polish anti-racism group, told Agence France-Presse that this was "an example of the extent to which stereotypes and xenophobia are rooted in the mentality and language" of Poland — although the group claimed they did not believe any offence had been intended.
Backtracking in a local newspaper, Bojanowski wrote: "I apologize to anyone I may have hurt with the clumsy phrasing I used this morning in a live broadcast. I simply wanted to thank residents and guests, whatever the color of their skin."
That's Andrzej Bojanowski, John Terry and Chris Rogers so far, plenty more to follow...
That's a list of bigots. The odd one out is Bojanowski, who has apologized, retracted and tried to make amends, but that's hardly surprising given that the Foundation for Freedom also said: "the deputy mayor of Gdansk had no ill will" (see the AFP report for the full quote, which was cut down).
For accuracy about the racist chants, look it up: Mario Balotelli was abused by Spanish fans and Theodor Gebre Selassie was abused by Russian fans, neither were abused by Poles. UEFA is investigating. There's been no UEFA investigation into the Dutch incident because there's been no formal Dutch complaint about it, partly because there were only two players who said they thought they heard it out of the entire Dutch squad and a stadium of 25,000 people that included Brits, Spanish, Dutch, Poles, Pakistanis, etc etc. We don't know the national identity of the alleged chanters. The English and Swedes had a riot in Kiev, the Poles and Russians had a riot in Warsaw, but nothing has yet trumped the London riots of 2011, where 3100 people were arrested amid allegations that in Britain, racism is rife.
When we finally do get a racist attack by a Pole, then let's condemn that. In the meantime, lets condemn the Spanish and Russian racists and hope UEFA brings them to justice.
What does it prove? Within 10 minutes I can provide you with two examples of similar expressions from UK which were spoken out by British politicians. Of course reported by BBC as they are on quest to exterminate all BBC-forbidden racism with BBC-approved racism.
Here you are:
"Lord Dixon Smith retracted the remark in the chamber, saying: "I apologise, my Lords. I left my brains behind. I apologise to the House."
The 73-year-old said later the phrase "nigger in the woodpile" was in common use when he was younger.
She said she had not meant to generalise when she wrote: ''White people love playing 'divide & rule'".
What according to you those sentences prove? Do they imply that all Brits are racists and antisemitists? That you are a racist and xenophobe? Or maybe don't prove anything at all?
So it is possible that foreign fans in Poland are chanting racist abuse at players and Poles mistakenly getting blamed for it?
So, what are you suggesting? These are proofs of Polish racism?
So, let's look at the facts:
- Mario Balotelli (Italian) was abused by Spanish fans (match Italia-Spain),
- Czech T.G. Selassie was abused by Russian fans (match Russia-Czech R.)
- there was no monkey chants during trening of Dutch team in Krakow. Media in Netherlands (website leugens.nl and press "Volkskrant")and also UEFA denies it. The whole news was written by "De Telegraaf" (known in Holland as xenophobic and especially antipolish) and popularized by BBC. You can read about it here http://www.leugens.nl/2012/06/10/poolse-oerwoudgeluiden/ and in Volkskrant (I don't know yhe link).
- Polish/Russian fights in Warsaw is true and I condemn it, however how stupid is the celebrating Russian National day in Warsaw? Their army left POland in 1993. It's pretty fresh history. If you look at last 300 years of Polish-Russian history you will know that that was very tactless. The relations always were edgy. And few days before the march, the Russians beaten Polish stewards in Wroclaw. Troubles were obvious.The Polish authorities shouldn't allowed the march. Wroclaw,
- finally, Bojanowski, hmm... recently you were defending Obama for his "slip",Bojanowski used bad expression but does this makes him a racist?
Most of the information were untrue, partly true or out of context. I am far from making my countrymen saint and far from the conspiracy theory. But seriously, what is this - antipolish campaign or just bad,sensationalist, stereotyping journalism?
Balotelli was abused also by Croatian fans by throwing banana at him. The monkey chants by fans in Krakow were witnessed by Dutch players including their captain. They told they moved to another side of stadium to avoid the monkey chants. Overall, I would consider these racism issues during tournament as sparse so far. However, they need to be investigated and adressed by certain authorities. The same applies for the behaviour of Polish and Ukrainian fans seen in BBC Panorama videos.
It is well documented that Mario Balotelli was abused by Spanish fans and Theodor Gebre Selassie was abused by Russian fans, neither were abused by Poles. There are no other racist incidents under investigation. You appear to have believed the prejudice that Poles were responsible for these incidents, for reasons best explained by yourself. Are you prejudiced?
Every country has racists, including Poland. My point is not that there are no racists in Poland - nor are there in the US, UK, Israel, Nigeria nor anywhere else. My point is that we all should seek the empirical truth, and the whole truth, before jumping to conclusions or making "blanket judgements" (to quote the Black Polish MP John Godson, when he attacked the BBC report).
It's just bad, sensationalist, stereotyping journalism. Much of the British media do exactly the same with all kinds of people, from Muslims to Israelis.
At least we can say the Poles are in good company.
The monkey chants during the Dutch training in Krakow have been indeed investigate and it appeared that this was a lie fabricated by a xenophobe and anti-Polish Dutch newspaper de Telegraaf This lie has been discovered by another Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant and Dutch portal which investigates lies presented to the Dutch public http://www.leugens.nl/2012/06/10/poolse-oerwoudgeluiden/
Krakow demands now compensation from the Dutch newspaper and UEFA for spreading this lie http://wyborcza.pl/1,126565,11944447,Krakow_zada_od_UEFA_sprostowania__P.... Actually BBC is the main guilty here. If they would not confirm this lie with own brand than none wold believe de Telegraaf. De Telegraaf is widely known for being sensational and unreliable source of information.
De Telegraaf is old and the largest Dutch daily newspaper. It cited the words told by the squad captain Van Bommel. I do not see any reason for Van Bommel and other players to lie.
In my view, UEFA went wrong way by not initiating any investigation on this case of racistic abuse. Such cases should be very carefully investigated by UEFA administration. If not, they may harm the reputation of host countries. Lack of investigation provides space for various interpretations and conspiracy theories, and it is not good.
Read my words. I'll put it in CAPITALS.
In fact Bommel was one of the two WHITE players who supposedly heard anything supposedly racist. The investigation have proven that "monkey chants" was a boooeoeoeoeoeo sound of a group of ~15 Wisla supporters. None of the colored Dutch players heard anything racist. Neither KNVB officials, nor UEFA officials, nor any other Dutch journalists present on the training nor the coach of the Dutch team. That is also why de Volksrant called the claim of the Telegraaf a lie.
De Telegraaf might be the oldest Dutch Newspaper but it has very dark past especially during the Second World War. It is was collaborating with Dutch version of NSDAP which was called NSB and German SS (yeas THIS SS). It was putting on the front page anti-Jewish articles and pro-SS nasi propaganda propaganda. Therefore it has been forbidden for publishing between 1945 and 1949. IMHO it didn't change its character since that time. Once more de Tegraaf is know for it sensational style and the fact that they frequently make up the news themselves.
Repeating the arguments in capitals adds nothing to the discussion, rather it demonstrates your strong bias.
Could you provide any link where UEFA disproved the racist abuse of the Dutch team? This sounds really sensational, because UEFA has stated as follows.
8th of June.
"UEFA has now been made aware that there were some isolated incidents of racist chanting that occurred at the open training sessions of the Dutch team in Krakow".
11th of June.
"Further to an incident that occurred at a Dutch national team training session on 8 June, UEFA has written to the mayors of the Polish and Ukrainian cities where open training sessions are scheduled to take place to ask that all effective and necessary measures – including an increased police presence – be implemented to prevent any display of discriminatory or racist behaviour at such public sessions".
"While to date there has been only one isolated incident, any such behaviour is totally incompatible with UEFA's zero-tolerance policy towards any type of discriminatory conduct."
As you claim that UEFA disproved the racist abuse of the Dutch team, please, let us know where and when UEFA denied the above statements.
Of course I have a strong bias. I'm not a BBC which pretends to be impartial but I'm a Polish person who feels deeply offended by shameless attack of the BBC. It's a shame that UEFA published this crap inspite of all the evidence. Luckily the lawyers are already busy so I'll keep you posted.
'Uefa confirmed this morning there will be no probe into events at the Stadion Miejski - the home of Wisla Krakow - because the Dutch Football Association had told them they "did not believe the abuse was racially motivated".'
Thanks! Didn't know about this statement. I understood that the newer one that shall include newer evidence is on its way as well.
Yes but the 'allegation' of racism lives on as a media item, because it makes a good 'story'.
"Never let the truth get in the way of a good story."
Hard to disagree. But just to cheer you up a bit. Out of >1 mln guests who visited Poland 81% wants to return to Poland and 91% will recommend Poland for visit to their friends.
So BBC might do their best to throw the shit on us but thanks to open borders people will find out the truth.
Anyway. BBC just committed suicide in Poland. I'm not going to watch them anymore. No Top Gear, no Catherine Tate or even Cbeebies.
UEFA initially denied the incident. They issued an early statement that you cite here, and this statement appeared at 9:40AM. However, later in the day under increasing pressure UEFA acknowledged the incident saying:
"UEFA has now been made aware that there were some isolated incidents of racist chanting that occurred at the open training session of the Dutch team."
This is a link from the same newspaper with the updated news at 12:17PM.
So, where is that information about UEFA to disprove the racial abuse?
We are talking about the UEFA attitude towards the incident. How does this your bias towards BBC help for you while seeking the truth in this case?
"You appear to have believed the prejudice that Poles were responsible for these incidents, for reasons best explained by yourself. Are you prejudiced?"
If the football championships had been held in Mars and I heard from press reports that fooballers faced racist abuse in Mars, I would assume it was Martians who were responsible for the abuse.
To paraphrase Clinton's famous elections slogan, "Its the location stupid".
And if I had heard press reports about players facing racist abuse in Australia, I would assume Australians were responsible for the abuse.
Perhaps you are getting a tad paranoid about anti_Polish prejudice.
Stick to the facts.
The two racist incidents under UEFA investigation - which always involves cooperation with international law enforcement organizations - involve Croatian and Russian fans.
There have been media reports about isolated incidents of racism involving small groups of fans from Poland, Italy and Spain.
My view is that the media has exaggerated the extent of racism in Poland in order to work up a story: I have never said the world is conspiring against Poland. My view is that the media exaggerates stories to the point of hysteria, from SARS/bird flu (fewer people died than were struck by lightning at the time) to panic petrol stockpiling in the UK (there was no petrol shortage) and many other cases.
In this case, there is no evidence to indicate the Poles are especially more racist than anyone else. I believe they have been misrepresented by lousy journalism and a gullible public. I object to ethnic stereotyping, I object to prejudice, I object to sanctimonious hypocrites, and I object to national persecution complexes of the variety sometimes exhibited in Poland and also exhibited elsewhere. Most of all though, I object to national superiority complexes of the variety sometimes exhibited in Britain and also exhibited elsewhere.
Poland is not the only country that is subjected to media exaggerations.
It is the world we live in.
Perhaps now you might wonder if all that you hear about America or other countries is not exaggerated or misrepresented too.
Poland is not the only country that is subjected to media exaggerations.
It is the world we live in.
Perhaps now you might wonder if all that you hear about America or other countries is not exaggerated or misrepresented too.
Who said Poland is the only country that is subjected to media exaggerations?
I've made my point abundantly clear, but I'll repeat it for you: the media exaggerates and misrepresents, in this case it is about Poland.
As I said in my comment earlier it was also true of SARS and the UK petrol scare. In other cases it is about Israel, Iran, Britain, America and anywhere else.
This will sound churlish, but I do want to make a point. Throughout the thread it has been contiually stated that 'nearly all' of the British media are biased, anti- this and anti-that and so on.
I'm never one to defend the British press, as it has it's (often severe) faults, but the fact is that the link you provided breaking this news.....sources a British newspapers website ...
It is not only this thread that has a problem with the British media about exaggerated horror stories about Eastern Europe, but also the coach of the England team itself: http://en.ria.ru/sports/20120620/174133954.html
To be precise the BBC Panorama programme has been identified as the main culprit. Most of the London press did indeed follow the story, not because they are in a malicious conspiracy but because they are gullible and also under temptation to ride the wave of hysteria that sells newspapers - you can indeed see the follow up stories in almost every main UK newspaper. What we now have is the backwash, with most UK papers reporting that many credible sources (from a black Polish MP to the England football coach) say the original story was a massive exaggeration. This, in turn, is the next wave of the story. It is fascinating case study, just like the UK fuel scare, which was another British media exaggeration that led to a women accidentally setting fire to herself in her kitchen as she stockpiled petrol.
I lived in Poland from 2002-2003 and one of the most shocking and confusing elements was nazi graffiti and swastikas on buildings.
There was also a lot of anti semitic language such as during a discussion of Roman Polanski "He is not Polish he is a jew". And this from one of my brightest students.
Graffiti is a problem neglected by Polish city authorities, which should indeed be cleared up, just like litter and dog mess. Most graffiti is done by bored teenagers trying to impress each other about how tough they are.
The idea of a Polish citizen having Jewish rather than Polish identity is not necessarily anti-Semitic. Jews were an ethnic group in Poland and many did not speak Polish, only Yiddish. If you object to Polanski being called a Jew, then by the same rationale you are objecting to the victims of Auschwitz being called Jews - because most of the victims of Auschwitz were in fact Polish citizens. So which way do you want it: Polanski and most of the victims of Auschwitz are Poles, or Polanski and most of the victims of Auschwitz are Jews? Or are they all Polish Jews? Or Jewish Poles? Whatever the conclusion to this question, it is quite possible that anti-Semitism was not an issue in this particular case.
Anti-Semitism is dark and it exists, but it doesn't exist everywhere. There is also light, and shades of grey. More importantly, there has been ENORMOUS change in the 10 years since you lived in Poland. It has been inspired especially by Poland's very thorough official investigation into the Jedwabne massacre, and a general fascination for all things Jewish (which may be kitsch, but it is also positive).
Hmm interesting coment. I did not mean for my comment to be an overarching indictment of Polish people just an anecdote of my experience there. One of which is the flabergasting use of swastikas right under the nose of auswitz. If I thought any place in the world would be anti nazi and pro jewish it would have to be poland but I was wrong. Bored teenagers probably but also dumb and uneducated (and unemployed and still using the same old scapegoat).
As for you next part I don't really know what you are saying but in a discussion about famous poles I brought up Roman Polanski and was quickly shouted down that he doesn't count since he is a jew and not polish. Said with fire practically comeing out of her mouth. It sent shivers down my spine.
Anyway I'm sure it has changed a lot. I love poland, my family emigrated from there and most of the people I met were really nice.
So you think that calling someone a 'Jew' is offensive? You can call me a 'Jew', 'Polish', 'German' or whatever nationality I trully am, and you will only make me a favor, as I am proud of my nation. You can call me 'black', or 'white', or whatever skin color do I have, as it is nothing to be ashame. If you think, that calling you a 'British' or 'English' (I assume you are) is offensive for you, I am verry sorry for you, you have a problem. I expect all the people to be proud of their color and heritage, and keep their brown, red, yellow, blue or pink head high and proud, and please do not join a negative conotation to words like 'Jewish' or 'Polish' or 'black', as it is so rasist from you. Maybe hundreds of years of abusing and enslaving other nations by British makes you underneath the false impression, that 'blacks' or 'Jews' are worsen than you, which leads to political correctness that apparently sometimes makes more harm than good. If it would happen that you could hear some rasist comments in Poland, bear in mind it is infamous contribution imported from former colonial empires, or adapted from English or U.S. movies, but definitely do not comming from Polish history and experience, and during British colonial expansion Poland was fighting for it's own independece. In Poland 'Jewish' means only a member of a nation, without any negative conotations, and please do not project your prejudice to Polish culture, which apparently you do not understand at all.
The action of Polish football hooligans was addressed by Russian top politicians. President Vladimir Putin expressed his concern Wednesday over the safety of Russian fans in Poland in a personal phone call to Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk, stressing Poland bore responsibility for the security of foreign fans.
It is sad to see how the Polish football hooligans degrade the image of their own country.
Yes, those hooligans should be punished, but there is another side to this sad story, the fact that Russian fans were allowed to march on a day of the anniversary of 12 June 1612 when Russian forces threw away Polish knights from Moscow (Polish as the only nation ever conquered and ruled Moscow!). This was also a Russian day of independence (Russia Day). Not only there should be permission for the Russians to march with imperial flags, but there should no such match on that day! Instead the city should have organised a family friendly picnic :)
Imagine England were to play Ireland in Dublin (or Belfast) on one of the politically sensitive anniversary days.
Dear EnglishPole,
Those are all doubtful excuses. There was a hysteria among Polish journalists about this supposed march. The fact is that Russians have not been marching under imperial flag, they were simply groups of football fans - all the different ones. The city did not issue permission for a Russian victory parade, please do not spread misinformation. If you have seen Polish hooligans who attack a father with a boy to take Russian flag away from them and throw it immediately into the river - then one may only say to Russian: we, Poles, are very sorry for those stupid idiots, they do not represent Polish society, they are tiny, tiny minority - and we have problems (like many societies in Europe) how to control violence at and around football stadiums.
The Russian football fans are our guests, and it is our duty to make them "feel like at home". It is the obligation which we have undertaken when we submitted our bid for Euro tournament. Period.
Of course, you might easily Poles and Russians happily talking before and after the game, and perhaps drinking beer or vodka together :-) Those incidents were actually quite isolated. Still, shame on us.
I would like to see a broader discussion about the stupid journalists who create crazy hysteria atmosphere before a football match - with those historical analogies like 1920 Piłsudski/Smuda, etc. etc. One of the major problems of Polish society those days is lack of responsible and critical journalism, all we get is some stupid boxing.
Article about attack of Zalgiris Vilnius fans and a group skinheads on the Polonia Vilnius fans. The attacking group shouted: Lietuva - lietuviams! (Lithuania for Lithuanians!)
It is sad to see how the Lithuanian football hooligans confirm the image of their own country as hostile to Poles and foreigners in general.
I agree with you and indeed, I must have been misinformed about the permission for the march. There was simply too much media scare so it worked as a self fulfilling prophecy.
I am saddened by the events and do apologise to the Russians, but not so much for the troglodyte "fans", but for those who exploited stereotypes and the opportunity to their political aims.
Today I found out that Chelsea is called Chelski by mistake, apparently their some people confused Poland with Russia. In this context, I do not mind that at all :)
By "foreigners" I meant non ethnic-Lithuanians.
I must agree with your final comment.
But it get's much worse: The conservative nationalist "Law and Justice Party" politicians (the biggest opposition party in Poland's Parliament)have been making statements in support of "patriotic Polish football fans who are protecting Poland's honour by attacking the Russian fans". Why these statements? Because the groups of football hooligans form the hard core violent street support in demonstrations for the Law and Justice Party. The statements are a disgrace and are being universally condemned by mainstream media and all other political parties.
What makes it even weird is that that the Polish Law and Justice party is the main ally of the UK's Conservative Party in the European Parliament. What strange bedfellows Prime Minister Cameron has chosen!
Politicians of a certain party eager to win the parliament elections should unequivocally deny any ties with such "supporters" that appear more like organized gangsters than football fans. However, some politicians of PiS showed support for football hooligans. Therefore, one might assume that in the eyes of those leaders of PiS their party benefits by this support. As the PiS is second largest party in Sejm, it might also appear that the football hooligan organizations have stronger support by society than it is usually stated. Thus, the problem represented by "a few hundreds of football hooligan idiots" might have deeper roots in Polish society. It would be good if the above my assumptions will prove to be wrong in future.
I appreciate very much the attempts by Donald Tusk to fight the hooliganism in and around the stadiums. The diplomacy by Tusk and overall good organization of tournament by Poland diminishes the harm this country now receives being in focus of attention following the outbursts of violence. However, the question may arise if this government did everything before the tournament for prevention of violence. Unfortunately, in the eyes of many observers Poland as one of the hosts of Euro 2012 did not complete the homework on this point, and the hooliganism still manifests in its most nasty ways.
The concerns are expressed in Western media regarding the World Cup 2018 to be hosted by Russia. Yesterday CNN.com published an article "Will European soccer 'disease' spread to 2018 World Cup?" by Chris Murphy. In this article Geoff Pearson, an expert on football hooliganism at England's University of Liverpool, believes Russian authorities need to take an initiative ahead of the World Cup.
"They need to be able to identify who these groups are in each city because it is almost certain these groups will look to attack certain groups of fans that travel to Russia for the World Cup in the same way the Polish hooligan groups have attacked Russian fans in Warsaw," Pearson told CNN."
"The important thing is that the police, between now and 2018, are able to identify who these groups are and that they are closely monitored so they don't cause trouble."
You can't be that naive. Of course Putin took action, it was a great opportunity to bring attention to the "bad Poles" and "good Russians". Has BBC informed its viewers that Polish stewards and volunteers were attacked and beaten by Russian football fans two day before? I doubt it.
First, I would like to thank the Economist for drawing attention to the problem which has now escalated beyond the broadcast in question. Sadly, instead of drawing attention to real issues of antisemitism and racism in modern societies (not just Polish or Ukrainian), BBC has achieved quite the opposite by fuelling conspiracy theories and undermining credibility of liberal media. This is why Economist has a bit of a mission here.
I was the last person to believe in any organised attempts to discredit Poland and attributed the quality of the Panorama programme to poor journalism and lack of knowledge (the already famous map with Austria and Czech Republic swapped, Yugoslavia still in existence, etc), but the story developed and became surreal.
On June 8th after the Poland vs Greece match I switched channel to BBC Three to watch the World News. The first report was naturally from Syria but the second one was from Euro. The news was about Polish racists in Krakow attacking Dutch players (monkey chants). Clearly an important issue and perhaps even deserving to be presented straight after news from Syria, but then it gets surreal. The news about racist/antisemitic Poles is broadcast by a reported FROM AUSCHWITZ. Of course, there was a reason for that, because the English, German, Italian and Dutch players visited Auschwitz which rightfully got a lot of media coverage, but the the same reported who briefly mentioned the footballers' visit (that must have been covered more widely before) talked mostly about the Polish racists also refering the the Panorama programme! During that report about racist Poles "from Auschwitz" was dispalayed on the screen all the time!
This was discussed with other Poles in the UK (and I am one of them) on discussion forum and other users confirm that the same manipulatiion technique was used by BBC World. Connection between the racist incident and Auschwitz was also made on the BBC website:
"England players have visited the Nazi death camp Auschwitz in Poland ahead of Euro 2012.
They made the trip a day after racist abuse was directed at the Dutch side as they trained."
All this is very, very dangerous for many reasons. First, BBC lost its credibility and that will apply to news reporting in general. People might even trust Telewizja Trwam more than BBC. Secondly, there are nearly 1,000,000 Poles in the UK, many of them already British citizens. BBC seems to ignore them, perhaps treating tham as "migrant workers". Tension between British Poles and "native" population is increasing but Poles will not go back to Poland. Racism is growing. Think about it.
Yes this is scandalous. But I put it down to perennial British idiocy, not organized conspiracy.
Will it be safe for me (a senior citizen Brit) to travel to London for the Olympics at the end of July? Afterall, last summer there were severely violent riots with a racist background there. Will our wonderful London police be able to protect all visitors? The well organised gangs of skinhead hooligans in their heavy boots and screaming "patriotic slogans for an ethnically cleansed country" are all too common in the UK, as for that matter, are their ethnic opponents.
How do last year's massive London riots compare with the couple of hundred hooligans who disrupted the festivities in Warsaw two evenings ago? Over 450,000 fans peacefully enjoyed themselves in the national stadium and related EURO 2012 fan zones. The police in Warsaw containing the hooligans made 184 arrests (156 Poles, 24 Russians, 4 Others) both before and after the game including 34 very drunk and violent yobs. 140 persons were treated for injuries including 17 police, but no fatalities. The Polish police used snatch squads, water cannon (very effective!)and some rubber bullets and tear gas. As the hooligans also attacked families going to the game, using rubber bullets and tear gas was very limited and as a result no accidental injuries caused to innocent third parties. So an effective combination of restraint and decisive action.
Without imposing sharia type punishments such as a severe public birching/whipping (a good idea?) and allowing the police to arrest on "suspicion of intent to riot" lttle more can be done than was done to contain and liquidate the fighting.The physical signs of the confrontations had all been cleared up by yesterday morning.
The Poles had a total 6,000 police on duty in Warsaw that day. Less than half of what PM Cameron had to move in to London during last summer's riots.

Pronounced: soo-NI-ti-nib
Classification: Multikinase Inhibitor
Sunitinib is a type of targeted therapy. This means it targets something specific to the cancer cells, therefore decreasing side effects caused by damage to the healthy cells. Sutinib works by blocking 2 processes that allow cancer cells to grow:
Sunitinib comes as a capsule to take by mouth with or without food. The dose and schedule is determined by your healthcare provider and is based on the type of cancer you have. Take sunitinib at around the same time every day.
The blood levels of this medication can be affected by certain foods and medications, so they should be avoided. These include: grapefruit, grapefruit juice, dexamethasone, carbamazepine, rifampin, phenytoin, St. John's wort, and phenobarbital. Be sure to tell your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you take.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Sunitinib. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4°), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
For more suggestions, read the Neutropenia Tip Sheet.
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion. Read the anemia tip sheet for more information.
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nose bleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If the count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
Read the thrombocytopenia tip sheet for more information.
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
While on cancer treatment you may need to adjust your schedule to manage fatigue. Plan times to rest during the day and conserve energy for more important activities. Exercise can help combat fatigue; a simple daily walk with a friend can help. Talk to your healthcare team and see OncoLink's section on fatigue for helpful tips on dealing with this side effect.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods that absorbs fluid and can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange sections, boiled potatoes, white rice and products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration. Read Low Fiber Diet for Diarrhea for more tips.
Visit OncoLink's section on Nutrition for tips on dealing with this side effect. Ask your nurse about nutritional counseling services.
Certain cancer treatments can cause sores or soreness in your mouth and/or throat. Notify your doctor or nurse if your mouth, tongue, inside of your cheek or throat becomes white, ulcerated or painful. Performing regular mouth care can help prevent or manage mouth sores. If mouth sores become painful, your doctor or nurse can recommend a pain reliever.
Read the mouth ulcer tip sheet for more information.
In clinical trials, some patients developed a yellow discoloration of the skin and/or hair. This was thought to be related to the yellow color of the drug. However, yellowing of the skin or eyes can be a sign of liver problems and should be reported to your healthcare team.
HFS is a skin reaction that appears on the palms of the hands and/or the soles of the feet as a result of certain chemotherapy agents. It can start as a feeling of tingling or numbness in the palms and/or soles and progress to swelling, redness, peeling skin, and tenderness or pain. Notify your healthcare team right away if you notice any of these signs of HFS. Learn more about HFS on OncoLink.
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not become pregnant or father a child while on this medication or for at least 2 weeks after stopping the medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment, even if your menstrual cycle stops or you believe your sperm is affected. It is not known if this medication passes into breast milk and harm a baby, therefore you should not breastfeed while taking this medication.
High blood pressure (hypertension) occurred in clinical trials with sunitinib. Patients should have their blood pressure checked periodically during therapy. Any hypertension should be treated appropriately. In cases of severe hypertension, sunitinib should be stopped until blood pressure is controlled. Signs of hypertension to report to your team include: blurry vision, nosebleed, headache and fatigue.
In clinical trials, some patients developed heart failure (congestive heart failure). Patients with a history of cardiac problems should have their heart function tested prior to starting this therapy, as well as during therapy if any symptoms arise. If heart function decreases or symptoms arise, sunitinib should be stopped. Symptoms should be reported to the healthcare team include: shortness of breath, weight gain or swelling, cough or weakness.
Hypothyroidism (under active thyroid) can occur while taking this medication. Your doctor will perform blood tests to check the function of your thyroid and treat this side effect if it develops. Symptoms of hypothyroidism include: tiredness, feeling cold, weight gain, hair loss, depression, dry hair and skin, irregular menstrual periods and muscle cramps.
This medication may interfere with wound healing. The manufacturer recommends stopping the drug before any surgical procedure and not restarting until there is adequate wound healing.
This medication can cause heart rhythm abnormalities (arrhythmias) caused by a prolonged QT interval. If you are at risk for this, your healthcare provider will monitor you for heart problems.
Bleeding has occurred in patients taking this medication, including bleeding in the GI tract, lungs, urinary tract and brain (stroke). Let your healthcare provider know if you develop any bleeding, including nosebleeds, coughing up blood, vomiting blood or coffee ground appearing vomit, blood in the stool or black stools. If you experience changes in your speech or balance, confusion, difficulty walking, vision changes or numbness on one side of the body, call 911 right away.

Cons Best Uses
Comments about Mens OluKai Ohana Sandals Shoe: I was looking for a comfortable pair of flip flops to wear post-run. I was tired of the cheapo's and wanted something very comfortable and with good arch support. These are fantastic. After my 18 mile run today, my feet feel wonderful recovering wearing these.
Cons Best Uses Comments about Mens OluKai Ohana Sandals Shoe: First, let's just say I've never been a fan of flip-flops. Tried this on one day on a whim and didn't want to take them off. They are truly the most comfortable shoes I own and for "non tragically hip" guy like me they are stylish enough to make me look good! The kicker is that being forced to wear orthotics in all my other shoes these shoes are perfect, wish they made orthotic foot beds like these - I would definitely buy them.
Best Uses
Comments about Mens OluKai Ohana Sandals Shoe: Great sandal and rated the best flip flop by Outdoor Gear Lab. I really like them and look forward to wearing them for a long time.

Turned out the place was posher than posh, and I must admit I felt a bit stupid wearing the same old jeans on the 8th day, ...but who cares. At least these snobs won't notice, unless I maybe surprise and scare the shit out of them by blocking their perfect mirror image. Here's Johnny!!! In fact Magali told me that about every other guest at the resort was some Latin American hotshot model, designer, actor/actress, producer etc. You name it. We even thought we saw Madonna eating two fried eggs (sunny side up) one breakfast morning. Not sure if it was her under all the make-up and designer sunwear, but at least Naomi Campbell was in town during our stay. No matter what, I am pretty sure I am the first backpacker ever to have set my dirty feet in the Mantra jacuzzi while at the same time ordering US $15 burgers on room service. That should be recognized, even though I always left the "propina" (tips) field empty while signing the bill. I just pretended to be a stupid European not understanding..., que es propina??? I also managed to use the dirty laundry basket as storage for some of my clean clothes, so was I happy when they charged me US $61 to clean some of my clean underwear. Cheap bastard...
Unfortunately we were not too lucky with the weather during our eight days stay, it was a mix of sun, clouds and rain (with a slight emphasis on rain). But we had a great time no matter what, with lots of good food and drinks. And would you believe it, we even went out on the town drinking and dancing a few nights ;-) The relatively little time we got on the beach, we mostly spent on Mantra beach, our hotels own personal beach that also happens to be one of the most popular in Punta del Este (La Barra neighborhood). There's a couple of hundred meters walk from the hotel and down to the beach, so we just took the golf cart of course. Travel with style is all I can say...
All in all a very different experience from when my brother and I went to Punta del Este mid-week in December. Back then the place was more of a ghost town with mostly retired people around. Now however the place was heaving with fashionable Latin American tourists and their fat wallets. Hence we fitted right in (maybe except for the lack of plastic surgery and a few thousand other (almost) negligible things)...

- Suzy (31 mins) Suzy is an amazing looking girl with really elegant features, I was secretly jumping for joy inside my mind when I clapped eyes on her. I must say the delightful suzy was a pleasure to work with . Unfortunately she couldn't speak a word of English for which I apologise to my fans, but I've translated with the subtitles. She was very open to trying new things so she is the perfect candidate to on my casting couch. When she said that she liked being naked it gave me a slight twitch in my pants... Who am I kidding I had a raging hard on under the desk, haha. She had an elegant beauty about her which was very refined and sexy. To top it off when she revealed her body I noticed her beautiful silky skin and a velvet pert nipples that were just the right size for her body. I almost didn't want to take any photos I just wanted to stick my cock inside her as soon as possible. I knew it was going to take all my concentration not to spunk prematuraly with this one. Her pussy was magnificent small and poist just the way I like them, turns out it was a bit too tight because I couldn't hold my jizz back. When her tongue touched my japs eye I was transported to a world of ecstasy. And when I was inside her I totally forgot I was doing the fake agent shoot and I spunked my load too early. Nonetheless, I had a chance to redeem myself when I went in for second helpings, and after she'd sat on my cock for long enough I spunked again. What a session. I'ld love to see her again someday.

Perry State Park was made possible by the signing of a lease agreement in 1968 between the Kansas Parks and Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Located between Topeka and Lawrence on the southwest shore of Perry Reservoir, 4 miles north of US-24 on K-237
Extensively forested rolling hills offer shaded camping at Perry Lake. 25 miles of horse trails and 20 miles of biking/hiking trails wind through the upland forest providing visitors a great outdoor experience. Lake Perry also offers excellent channel catfish fishing on 11,000 acres of Perry Reservoir with 160 miles of shoreline.
Hike along the lakeshore and through the woods. The nearly 11,000-acre wildlife area includes about 1,000 acres of marshes, making it a great place to watch and hunt waterfowl. Quail are usually abundant. The reservoir is known for its excellent crappie and channel catfishing. Whether you're just camping or want to use the area as a base for fishing, hiking, hunting, or other activities, Perry offers a scenic location in the wooded region of northeast Kansas.
