News / Have PO (Platforma) operatives in Poland fallen into a panic? [332]

As befits born losers, the subversive Schetyna-Petru opposition are losing on all fron

That's actually the opposite of the truth.

In the morning, I'll post what everyone's saying in Warsaw, the discussion topic du jour and it is alarming.

I bet you can guess what it is, Po...

News / The only three normal cities with any respect for humanity in Poland [99]

Doubtless something will 'come' to you, however since it isn't your tax money and neither you nor anyone else on here agreed the payment schedule. It is however part of the EU accession treaty and the next payments are drawing ever nearer...

So you see, Poland will contribute to the Union's refugee programme in the end.

Of course scummy governments who exist on nationalism alone pretend that they actually care (solely) about their own population, as an excuse for neglecting their humanitarian responsibilities as a sovereign nation

Usually due to incompetence, self-interest and lack of a coherent vision about the future.

News / Jurisprudence III RP style -- triumph of lawlessness in Poland [33]

Across the Atlantic

You'll find that the whole political landscape is different over here, and in fact the misdeeds of PiS and their whole philosophy has a lot to do with the 1920s and 1930s in Europe - a very dark time for our continent.

Basically, they despise the democratic process (as we can see from some of the bile in this thread) and believe they have a sort of 'divine right' to rule.

really is sick. Maybe the deviation has already spread to your brai

As well as to wail, scream, slander and malign - basically all the tricks of the National Socialists in Germany or the Falangists in Spain.

Pure fascism.

Together with the rest of the country. People have had enough, and after a very short time, hence the strength of the Polish pro-democracy movement.

the kickbacks

Do tell...

The Dear Leader Chairman Kaczynski would most like to do the job,

Quite. making Poland a laughing stock. He's even pretending to start to fall out with Szydlo now. My guess about that one was actually spot on - 6 months after the election.

10 months in prison for throwing a torte at a judge

So you'd let him off scot-free since you dislike the rule of law? Perhaps you'd have let Eligiusz Niewiadomski off as well...

Smells of Nazism. Beware the knock on the door Grzegorz. They are coming for you too.

Smells of exactly that.

UK, Ireland / Polish candidate for London mayor to represent 2nd-class citzens [26]

Some of them see their country being destroyed by mass immigration, more crime, and worst conditions.

Have you been there, rather than just reading (and posting) rubbish on 'stormfront'?

more crime

Crime is falling

worst conditions

Quality of life is improving

mass immigration

Is no bad thing at all...

In any case, Żylinski isn't an anti-immigration candidate. far from it in fact...

News / The only three normal cities with any respect for humanity in Poland [99]

Please outline what contribution Poland has made to the refugee effort.

Zero. People here chose to be a full member of the EU, chose to accept the huge subsidies and now their government have dishonoured themselves by shying away from the Europe-wide response. For now anyway.

they promise to do all they can to facilitate a better life for refugees in those three cities, and have signed a three-city admonishment of the government.

There is still hope, and the refugee crisis is far from over.

Decency and moderationn always triumph in the end and this will be no exception.

News / Russia says: WE'LL NUKE POLAND [150]

They do things like that all the time. Best not to give them the attention they crave; restraint in diplomacy is everything.

hey wont do anything about it

The merest suggestion of an escalation is horrific...

Travel / Mobile internet for tourists in Poland? [35]

Polish pocket WiFi

Quite a few providers

polishwifi

Not a very good option. Though your and 'robo28's'posts do come across like a fairly transparent attempt at viral marketing...

tepwireless.com/Poland-Pocket-WiFi,
cellomobile.com/hotspot-rental/poland.html
hippocketwifi.com/en/pocket-wifi-europe-rental/ and
wirelesstraveler.com/pocket-wifi-rental-unlimited-data.aspx
are all usually considered better providers.

Just as easy and convenient to pick up a sim card from any kiosk or newagent in the country however if anyone really feels they can't live without pocket wifi this site compares the various providers so people can have a look at coverage/prices:

Study / Vistula University in Poland. Any experience? Any student? [57]

There are certainly better institutions however this one is accredited.

and all about job is depens on the person

Whether you go to Cambridge or a smalltown community college this is always true. You should still aim to get in the best place you can, since that can open doors.

Platfus

Better 'platfusy' than PiSuarzy...

Nothing to do with his disgraceful attacks on the Polish constitution?

Remember that with this issue, the EU are playing things very carefully. In order not to give JK any grounds to try and withhold the payments to the union when they start in a few months...

golombki

Much tastier than bigos cooked at 600c in a nuclear fireball (or even at all)...

You're right though, it's not exactly unusual for a country to conduct air exercises near their borders and buzzing is something the Russians do.

While Macierewicz is minister of defence all sorts of nuttiness could happen, however even he wouldn't dare pre-empt NATO.

Or would he...
