don't know enough

Sorry, Adrian, but my suggestions were addressed to Smurf. He laid out a rough outline of how to revitalise the Polish economy. He should share his views with Mateusz Morawiecki who appears receptive to good ideas.

judgementalism

Trying to slip in one of PC's heretical buzzwords! Since we all have brains, everything and everyone we encounter is subject to our evaluation. That enables us to tell right from wrong, legal from illegal, polite from impolite, friendly from hostile, fact from ficiton and propaganda.

Call it judgemental if you like, but even snails avoid open flames and toxic liquids so they do have the power to evaluate safe from unsafe.

principle of profi

But the profits should mainly benefit Poles, not foreign profiteers. Morawiecki should waste no time in trying to build up a viable Polish enterpreneurial class, although the Brussels dictatorship will probably make it difficult to give them the preferential treatment foreign interest groups got under the Tusk regime.

As you said, there is no old or new EU -- we're all in it together. We're all equal, except some are more equal than others!

If you honestly believe that

If you honestly believe you have to follow the decrees of the PC dictatorship that calls degenerates normal, then you need to have your head examined.

Poland is ungrateful for what it has received

The profits siphoned abroad by foreign-interests group who have cashed in on investing in Poland as an exploitable cheap manpower and assembly-works site Poland far exceed the EU handouts Poland has received.

are happy wit

Becuase the propagandists keep banging away on the allegedly "generous" subsidies Poland is getting. If people knew that the profits extracted from Polish blood, sweat and tears exceeded the handouts, if they knew how much theor Old EU equivalents are earning, they'd soon sing a different tune. But the pro-EU fanatics carefully suppress such information.

Jan Tomasz Gross

Old man Gross is known for playing the anti-Semitic card to curry favour with America's Jewish egghead set. Hardly a reliable source. This "scholar" claimed among other things that the testimony of a Holocaust survivor must be accepted as historical truth. In addition to quintupling the number of alleged victims at Jedwabne. But his anti-Polish lies and distortions have made him a pile in the Kosher circles who readily lap up any anti-Polish garbage that comes their way.

Maybe you think Polish state-owned property should be sold only to foreigners?

self-styled pro-democracy movement

PM Szydło gave an interesting interview to Rzepa. She said no-one lacks freedom in Poland. Those who like to demonstrate do, those who don't fancy that sort of thing - don't. She noted that the whole anti-Polish tirade by European institutions is mainly about money. Moreover, Szydło pointed out two facets of the dispute: Old Europe love to lecture New Europe from a standpoint of superioty and now want to draw attention away from Old Europe's disastrous handling of the migrant crisis. There are far more serious problems for Europe to deal with at present than the alleged lack of democracy in Poland.

wonderful land and produce

Are you a big fan of the Balcerite privatisation obsession which sold off all of Poland's recognisable brands: Wyborowa, Chopin, Belweder, Okocim, Żywiec, Tyskie, Lech, Wedel, Pudliszki, Winiary and many more to foreign outfits?

Do you believe Morawiecki's Polonisation plan can work? How would you go about it?

German blocks are better made and more economic

I don't doubt that, but is Poland doomed to remain an exploited neo-colonial entity for all time. I rememebr when "Made in Japan" meant inferior trinkets, crappy toys, tiny paper parasols and other cocktail and party favours. By the 1970s theri cars were rivalling Detroit. At that time Korean cars were still regarded as tinny little toys, but today......

If you were in charge and wanted Poland to stand up and be recognised, what route would you suggest for liberating her economy from excessive foreign control whilst ensuring rapid. sustainabel development?

why destroy a well-known Polish international brand?

Was some brand deliberately destroyed? Your phrasing seems to suggest a deliberate ploy in that direction. PiS are not that devious and crafty in the intrigue department and could stand to take some lessons from the true experts -- PO's

masters of scams and manipulations.

Totally delusional

And totally unacceptable to any exploitative foreign-interest group who view Poland and other EU newbies as territory for maximum profit extraction and export. The Poles should kiss the hands of the exploiters that they have any jobs at all and be satsifised with their below-EU wages.

with an economy that is on the rise.

With a sovereign and independent economy most of whose profits are not regularly siphoned off by foreign-interest gorups.

PiS does not want Poland to flourish

PiS want Poland to flourish not on the leash of exploitative foreign intererst groups who siphon off the profits and leave Poles a few crumbs. They don't want Poland to be a neo-colonial entity nor Poles to be little more than mercenaries in foreign employ such as assembly-plant workers building foreign-desiend and owned cars. Hence the term polonisation applied to culture, commerce, banking, industry and other fields. Poles should finally have more say in how their coutnry is run and not have to ask the EU permission for Poladn to be Poland. That's what PiS are all about!

News / New 2016 poll. The attitudes of the Poles toward other nations [26]

Merged: Natations Poles like and dislike

A survey carried out by Polands' leading polling group CBOS has shown that out of 27 nations and ethnic groups Poles are the fondest of Czechs (50% likes), followed by Italians (49%), Slovaks (48%) and Britons (47%). Arabs and Roma (Gypsies) are disliked by 67% of Poles, and half of those surveyed don't like Russians. Also on the dislike list are Romanians (47%), Turks (45%), Jews (37%) Serbs (35%) and Vietnamese (32%).

pro-democracy rallies

Misnomer of the month! Should be pro-foreign-interest-group rallies. Don't you see how the foreign media, business circles and other foreign establishmentarians including the Brussels dictatorship are all for KOD? They ain't doing that out of pure altruism, that's for sure! It's all about business and returns on investments with some high-sounding rhetoric thrown in to dupe the masses.

the crap

The crap got voted out of office last October. Now all they can do is moan, groan. fume, rant and howl in all their desperate and impotent frustration. Serves them right after robbing the country blind for 8 years with their pro-foreign-interest-group policy and building a Poland in which Poles have no control over their own country's economy or culture.

very dirty tricks

Like the ruse to have the vote disqualified by undermining the quorum. The spirit of the Sneaky One prevails even though he's safely away in Brussels.

consequence

Being booted out of their party club is a severe consequence for any politician.
You're o so transapent. You'd love to have the entire vote overturned. Next time round the plotters would get their act together and Jędzrejwski wouldn't get elected. What then? No opposition candidate could get elected, PiS would field another candidate and again the same ruse would be carried out so we'd have another rumpus -- the anarchic atsmosphere you thrive in. Funny how strait-laced you were when true PO gangsters and scamsters were in power. Sadly for KOD & Co. them kickbacks ain't no more.

a fraudulent vote

A fraudulent vote is disqualified and the fraudsters face consequences, not the entire house. But your trouble-making is soooo transparent, any rumpus or street protest provides soooo much excitement and amusement. It's even better than 1st divison footie or M jak Miłość.

blatant case of fraud

You seem to think the oppositon are all selfish crudballs only in it for themselves. Not a single decent, patriotic Pole in the lot, no-one thinking in terms of the Polish nation, that the constituion needs to be reformed. People like you are constantly drawing up battle lines and deepening trenches rather than working for unity and consensus. If the vote today could be overturned, you'd be all for it. You support anything that undermines, disrupts, destabilises and anarchises the ship of state. That's why people of your ilk cannot be allowed anyhwere near the helm. Back down to the galley wtih you!

blatant abuse of the democractic process

Shouting down speakers, disruting proceedings with rumpus-raising and chanting, conspiring to sabotage the vote -- these apparently are all elements the PO/Petru/KOD pond-scum regard as the democratic process.

Senior Morawiecki is a true anti-communist hero, a veteran in the fight against the hated Soivet-imposed regime. His health is not the best but he still wants to serve the Polish nation, not foreign-interest groups. He may move from the fringe Kukiz grouping to Poland's true pro-Polish party PiS, and if he does, more power to him!

Legal experts have confirmed that even if the one or two contested Kukiz MP votes are subtracted, there were enough votes to make the election valid. So put on your thinking cap and look about for some other nits to pick!

president

Since when is cat Harry a North American? Secondly all the BS alleging a rift between the first couple is so much tabloid hocum. Mrs Wałęsa lived in Gdańsk the whole time, but you never criticised that. Pani Duda is the be praised for refusing to be needled or pressured into speaking out on poltiical issues. That is her sovereign choice. Obama doesn't go everywhere with the Mrs, so why should Duda?

Polish pro-democracy

All the lofty, high-sounding, pompous slogans notwithstanding, the self-styled pro-democracy movement exist for only one reason: to serve the designs and profit motive of foreign interest groups and their Polish toadies who receive hefty kickbacks for betraying their own country.

Their toadies were also active in the Sejm today. Proceedings there turned into a shouting match with the virulent anti-government opposition trying to drown out speakers ahead of a vote to replace an outgoing Constitutional Tribunal judge. In an attempt to block the election of PiS-nominated Zbigniew Jędrzejewski, opposition MPs conspired to remove their voting cards to prevent the necessary quorum. But the plot backfired when several MPs belonging to the small Kukiz'15 party voted for Jędrzejewski who was therefore elected. One Kukiz'15 MP voted for an absent colleague - a serious offense that led to her removal from the party's parliamentary club. Veteran anti-communist activist Kornel Morawiecki, the MP for whom she had voted, voluntarily resigned.

cat Duda

Is stuff like "creepy Harry" now fair game? I thought it as established there can be no Gronkowiec-Waltz, no dud Duda, Mr Maybach. the Duck or shifty-eyed Donny Boy.

bigotted

They say feminists have no sense of humour. Is that true?

no nationalism

A short time ago TV interviewed a Czech film-maker. He claimed Czechs envied Poles their patriotism which he said was totally lacking in the Czech Republic. But he added Poles could stand to adopt some of the Czechs' "luz" (easygoingness?).

de Gaulle

When Gen. De Gaulle was retiring a British reporter asked Madam de Daulle what she looked forward to during retirement. She replied: "A penis!" The reporter was understandably shaken but the general chimed in saying: "My dear, I think it's pronounced 'appiness'."
