It actually stands for Patriotyzm i Szalchetność (patriotism and noble-mindedness).
PO = Perwersja/Oszustwo (perversion/deceit).
You're entitled to your musing, rambling and nostalgia - there's no law against it. That's all that will be left of the Platfusy very soon.

Yes indeed -- in memory lane. Grannies will tell their grandkids: Once upon a time there were three tenors who set up a political party... Through clever propaganda they managed to pull the wool over the public's eyes and got to rule for all of eight years. But they were finally caught onto and seen through....

Maybe a virtual PO-PSL government can be created as a computer game with the Platfusy spewing hate speech v PiS and NIK leader engaged in some new contest-fixing scam. The bad part of it is that it wouldn't sell too well, because Poles have had their fill of the Platformer hate industry. Adveniat regnum PiSorum!

News / Referendum to cost Polish taxpayers nearly 130 mln zl amid uncertain turnout [29]


Without expressing a view for or against the actual quesitons of Duda's planned referendum, knowing the Poles' low turnout, combining general elections with any current referendum IMHO would be a good and inexpensive way of proceeding. The best of both worlds: direct voter input on a given issue at no extra cost. Separate referenda should be reserved for only the most vital state questoins such as: "Should the Polish Armed Forces march to Ukraine's aid in the face of Russian aggression?" or "Should Poland withdraw from the EU?"

The PSL is probably the sleaziest and most opportunistic party around. Its leader Sawicki is a sneaky scammer of the first order. Former PM Pawlak ostensibly promoted Polish industry by arriving at the government building, press conferences and other official venues in ....... a Polonez car. But on the outskirts of town he would transfer to a Mercedes.

PSL readily teamed up with the ex-commies, now they back the Platfusy, and they will not hesitate to enter a PiS coaliton to get government slots. Hopefully PM Szydło will see through those greedy bumpkins.

Food / Is black tea disappearing from supermarkets in Poland? [29]


Known in Polish as bawarka (Bavarian maiden?), tea with milk is fed to nursing mothers (and not all of them can stomach it!), as it's supposed to promote lactation (probably an old wives' tale).

Food / Is black tea disappearing from supermarkets in Poland? [29]


Never use messy, drippy teabags -- brew herbata only the classic Polish/Russian tea-essence style. In a small teapot you make a strong essence by drenching tea leaves with boiling water and let it steep at least an hour. Then you use as much essence in your cup or glass as you like and top it up with fresh boiling water. An excellent way to gauge the strength you want or need -- something potent to wake you up, something milder for grandpa or junior.

Merged: Black tea being eclipsed by chemically flavoured varieties

A while ago I noted here that black teas were being displaced on supermarket shelves by more and more flavoured varieties, mainly chemically aromatised fruit and herb flavours. It was something every tea shopper could not help but notice but my contrarian Bully Brit adversaries claimed that was not the case. Now Rzeczpospolita has finally taken note of that tendency. The fact that something is called raspberry- or quince-flavoured tea means only that it is aromatised with lab-produced chemicals which never came within a thousand miles of a berry bush or quince tree.

...And that Komorowski was an utter fool to be duped into calling a referendum! If it doesn't attract a 50% turnout, the ex-president should be forced to pay for it out of his own pocket. His five kids can chip in and help him raise the cash.

That figure came from the National Election Bureau chief:
polska.newsweek.pl/ile-bedzie-kosztowac-referendum-6-wrzesnia-2015,film,369752.htm

That turnbout estimate seems quite likely. It seems Komorowski went off half-cocked. Now nobody -- neither PiS nor PO nor even Kukiz himself is really urging any turnout or publicising the referendum.

History / Boycotts of Solidarity's anniversary celebrations. Poland's Solidarity - Now and Then? [16]


strange? Duirng the 1980 Lenin shipyard strike and signing of the labour accords, visitng foreign journalists and politicians were amazed at the traditonal, right-leaning atmopshere of those evetns -- the patriotic and religious imagery, priests coming to the yard to hear workers' confessions, workers jointly singing the anthem and reciting the rosary, even the JP2 pen Wałęsa signed the deal with. That contrasted with the lefty, "progressive" (?!), secularist, often anti-clerical stench emanating from many western trade unions.

Of course you can call anything anything. Trade unions are supposed to fight for workers' rights, and you can call that leftist if you like. but it makes no sense. Soldiarność was, is and hopefully will always be a patriotic, pro-family. pro-Catholic trade union no matter how many idiots want to call that leftist.

History / Boycotts of Solidarity's anniversary celebrations. Poland's Solidarity - Now and Then? [16]


Approval or criticism has depended entirely on a given government's performance. Solidarność was part of the government of Jerzy Buzek, and genrally supported the PiS govenrment. It has been critical of the anti-worker policies of the Platfusy. What trade union would support pro-oligarch, pro-corporate and anti-worker policies?

Merged: Kopacz and PO regime flunkies a disgrace to Poland

PM Kopacz boycotted Solidarity's 35th anniversary celebrations led my President Duda and laid a separatist wreath of her own at the Gdańsk Shipyard. Senate Speaker Borusewicz was invited but did not attend. Lech Wałęsa was conveniently abroad at the time. The PO-led government have again shown they intend to perpetuate the foolish and counterproductive Polish-Polish war they have waged for the past decade and have now zeroed in on Presedent Duda. The PO hate industry is alive and well! The PO-led ruling camp is a disgrace to Poland.

Language / Ambulans displacing karetka - similar meaning of different Polish words? [19]


Lachon appears to have come from lacha, the augmentative form of laska. But why was a stick chosen in the first place? The prevalent version of feminine beauty has not been the Twiggy look for decades. The same laska is used is for the male organ. wonder if there's any connection.

Other changes in the language include:
**dwa w jednym: a very un-Polish borrowing from English (plentiful in adverts)
**odkryj (direct trsnaltion of many German (entdeck) and English (discover) adverts.
**Od Wedel (from Wedel); proper Polish would be od Wedla or firmy Wedel.

PM KOPACZ MAKES DESPERATE LAST-DITCH STAND
With election day approaching and PO survey results dropping PM Kopacz is desperately trying everything she can think of. Besides more of PO's typcial PiS-bashing (which no longer makes the impression on voters it once did), she has been making behind-thre-scenes offers they cannot refuse to oppositon types. She has recruited former PiS deputy PM Ludwik Dorn, ex-commie Napieralski and the late PM Mazowiecki's son Michał. More such coopts seem likely.

PO is thus becoming more and more the refuge of renegade turncoats. The classic example is bugologist Niesiołowski - once a leader of the ultra-rightist nationalist Christian National Union. Former PiS spin doctor Kamiński is an especilaly sleasy opportunist. Ex-commie Arłukowicz as heath min. (since sacked) brought about the veritable collapse of the healthcare system. He promsied to shorten outpatient waiting-room queues, so he cut the time a doctor can devote to a patient from 15 to 5 minutres!!!!

Will Polish voters fall for the Digger's (Kopacz's) new-old bag of tricks?

That is precisely what the homo promoters and their "useful idiots" want: lull the public into indifference and then face them with a fait accompli which may be difficult to reverse. That's why one should be vigilant, "dmuchać na zimne" and not be caught with one's hand "w nocniku".

Yes, good thing you used the past tense. You can nostalgically relive the past, even shed a tear, as your political darlings start packing their bags and head for the rubbish bin of history. Good riddance to the Platfusy! But no-one can blame you for reminscing -- there are people in Poland who yearn for the good ol' days of PRL, and in Russia who wistfully recall the "great Stalin era".

YOur feel for Polish is abysmally low, but this colourful slang phrase means nothing more than "now it's our turn". That occurs in every democratic society when there's a changing of the guard.


Cleverly coined and honed propaganda works wonders! The Platfusy deceitfully blamed all their failures on the world economic downturn, the weather and, of course, PiS which they used as a scarecrow to confuse and intimidate voters.
