News / Poland's election winning party: PIS proclamations [229]

You haven't seen

What I have never seen is you saying a good word about Poland's most patriotic "clean-hadns" party which liek Piłsudski is about to sanitise the mess left by their scammy predecessors.

News / Poland's political party to ban pornography? [60]

voters in that province

All authorities are taxpayer financed whether directly or indiredctly. If Warsaw proivdes local authorities with funds, they were also collected from taxpayers.
I was the one who poitned out that the protest was counterproductive. Not everybody understands how propaganda, PR, publicity functions.

some scandal

Interesting. And here everybody thought scandals were a Platfomrer speciality (to mention only the gambling affair, ill-considered, road-building tenders, tape scandal and OFE heist in broad daylight, unreported assets of PO politicians, etc., etc.).

Not to mention nepotism on an unprecedented scale. As this link clearly shows, "in the course of 8 years of PO rule state losses caused by scandals, scams, corruption or incompetence have been in excess of tens of billions of złotys."

provincial government

Regional authorities are bankrolled by taxpayers. No authorities, whether central, regional or local are private profit-making businesses, although the Platfomers had often acted as if they were. Good thing disgruntled citizens have voted them out of office. Hopefully for good!

Is it or is it not a fact

All we know is that SE alleges that to be true. Does someone's relatives a priori disqualify a person's ability to hold a given post? Do you know he was not the best person available for the job? Youdon't really care and aren't interested are you? The only point is to bash PS, innit?

block culture

Taxpayer money should not be used to promote anti-values most people in Catholic Poland oppose. Private ventures are another story unless they target minors.

relative of Jaroslaw Kaczynski

What do you know about his talent, qualifications and passion for defending Poland's woodlands? Nothing. But it was a good opportuntiy to engage in your favourite pastime: PiS-bashing. And Super Express I see is among one of your credible and trustworthy sources of information. Even "Gówniane Wieści" is more reliable!

Merged: Protesters scuffle with police in Wrocław to prevent porn play

Protesters belonging to the Rosary Crusade linked arms to prevent people entering a Wrocław theatre where a play titled "Death and girls" featuring porn stars was being presented. They scuffled with police trying to break the human chain and 20 protesters were detained. At issue was the use of taxpayer money to stage a morally controversial production.

Regardless of their intentions, the protesters have provided the producers with loads of free publicity and probably more curious theatre-goers than the play itself could normally attarct. There is reportedly only a single one-minute-long porn scene in the two-hour presentation.

it's PiS

And it's PO that have a coaliton partner now charegd with several counts of corruption -- Jan Bury I believe his name if. Most of the PO's own crooks and scammers are just too devious and crafty to get caught -- I have to hand it to them! Their hayseed mates are somewhat less clever in that regard.

enrich their own

No other party has done more to enrich members of its own clique than PO, including many crooked businessmen and exploitative entrerpreneurs. Their oldboy network has greatly expanded over the past 8 years. Fortunately the Polish people have finally realised the truth, hence their popular support is gradually declining and now stands at 18%. Within a week or two it could well drop into the single-digit bracket and by 2019 may not even clear the 5% threshold.

Trump and Kaczynski

Trump is a loudmouthed buffoon and blowhard (reminiscent of a certain PF poster whose name I will not mention). Wholeheartedly devoted to the cause of a strong, flourishing Poland, Kaczyński is a true patriot displaying little regard for personal amenities or comforts. And that is a colossal difference!

Polish bases in the US

I hear they're going to set one up on the outskirts of Greenpoint but they first have to find at least three biplanes to equip its air strip.

why does Poland need a us airbase

Because chicken-sh*t Putin may threaten, fume and rant but would not dare attack a NATO country, especially one with GI boots on the ground. He may be a megalomaniac and Great Russian chauvinist, but he's no fool and knows the balance of the two countries' (US and Russia's) military arsenals. And he's not about the incinerate the globe!

internal problems

The internal problems were used by aggressive neighbours as a pretext to carve up the Commonwealth. They actually feared that Polish demcoracy as exemplified by the 3rd May Constitution might spread and sow ferment in their absolutistically ruleld domains. Had the Constitution been given time to take effect, who knows.....?

Merged: PiS government restoring normality

Undautned by Brussels bullying and street rabble-rousers President Duda has signed into law amendments normalising public broadcasting and restoring age seven for school starters. Not only did PO not ifnroduce any meaningful reforms but the legislative duds they did pass now have to be rescinded.

News / Kaczyński slams "political correctness" plague in Poland [85]

Pope Jan Paweł II

Sadly I must agree with you on not learning from history and JP2. wałęsa has often said: Zgoda buduje, niezgoda rujnuje, but in practice that is rarely the case, the continuing stupid Polish-Polish war being the best example. Indeed, during his first post 1989 pilgirmage JP2 chastised his countrymen for what they had done with their new-found freedom.

Did you follow the link?

Pardonnez-moi! In fact I hadn't been following the entire thread. I thought you were replying to his "TWO kinds of political correctness" post. Only after you politely (?) alerted me did I see his Polonius the boar post. I've never had a porcine namesake before, so it's a new experience. I even detect a slight resemblance. But I'm still three times the Polonius he'll ever be!

thanks for that

So you advocate the antithesis: flawed nationalism, flawed Catholicism, communism is good, refugees are good (the more the merrier!), the West is wholesome, decent and moral and LGBT is the civilisation of the future!

Congrats! At least we now all know exactly where you stand!

Premier

Off-topic but just FYI in Canada the prime minister heads the central government, whilst premiers head the regional governments of individual provinces.

Merged: Komorowski office mismanagement and extravagance - audit

True to form, the office of Platformer ex-president Komorowski has been exposed for grossly mismanaging taxpayer money and official property. An audit has found that the Komorowski presidency had provided unjustifiably large fatcat salaries to its staff, and during the PO's last week in office lavish severence packets were handed out to loyal oldboys. In addiiton, three valuable paintings have gone missing and a secret govt telecoms system has gone missing. The audit is expected to find numerous other irregularities.

half of the population in Poland could not read and hence massive programs after 1945..

In 1931 illiteracy in Poland amounted to 23.1%.

News / Most Poles believe current Sejm (Parliament) in Poland will be better [64]

she's being insulted almost dail

Maybe so but only by the big losers -- the Platformers and their diehard hangers-on and brown-nosers like yourself and your blowhard mate.

honest thing to do

What right does a foreigner have to lecture the Polish government on what to do, which post to entrust to whom, etc., etc.?
The wise, strategic thing to do is to operate as a team, and that is what's being done. The ZL is a tripartite coalition including the groupings of Gowin and Ziobro. If they appoitned Gowin PM you and your Brit Bully cronies would also spew your vitriol. The bottom line is. WHATEVR THE GOVERNMENT DOES OR DOES NOT DO, YOU FRUSTRATED LOSERS WHO BACKED THE WRONG HORSE WILL KEEP ********, GRIPING, GRUMBLING, RANTING, RAVING AND FUMING. What else can you do?

respect for the Constitution.

Which paragraph of the Constitution explicitly or implicity states that a party's leader MUST BE APPOINTED PM? If so, then Pawlak, Kwaśniewski, Buzek, Krzaklewski and Belka should have all been put behind bars. Poles say: Z jakim przestajesz, takim się stajesz. Through your half-cocked bombast and wild claims you are starting the resmble your blowhard crony.

News / Kopacz wants PO to hire more professional PiS-bashing haters [66]

Merged: Tomasz Lis should join PF PiS-bashing club

Note the cover of the latest Newseek. Using graphic effects reminiscent of a 1930s horror-film poster combined with a Stalinist propaganda style ("AK - zaplutym karłem reakcji!"), PiS leader Kaczyński is cast in shadowy red & black hues giving the well-loved poltician an aura of the mysterious and sinister.

In a sense one can't blame Newsweek boss Tomasz Lis who is about to be booted off public television, so he's trying to get even. But a weekly news magazine should retain at least some semblance of impartiality and not turn into a party rag. No, Lis is not headed for the poorhouse, since he has already made his pile so no-one need feel sorry for him. Maybe only for the wife and two children he abandoned to run off with another woman. A slimeball all the way!

he's had a life of tragedy

Everyone has their misfortunes and tragedies but Polański also enjoyed a life of affluence and luxury, enjoying the celebrity limelight and hobnobbing with fellow snobs and giltterati. Shouldn't such privileged ones try to set a good example for average citizens?

as long as it doesn't hurt others

But sacking, blackballing or demoting people for their views (as in the homo-"marriage" controversy) or brainwashing schoolchildren wtih PC propaganda IS HURTING OTHERS. It is the victim not the victimiser that defines what hurts!

You missed the context

I think it's you who have missed the point. Like all the losers, you are so intent on badmouthing the winning side that you have failed to realise the PiS government is a team including two junior coalition partners (Gowin & Ziobro). In a team, the better, more experienced player is there to help out the novice who eventually gains his stripes and can manage on his own.

With your ilk it's the bashing that counts. Platformers were boringly on about K being a back-seat driver. When he shared the floor with Szydło to announce the govt line-up, the same chronic grumblers accused him of hogging the show. Let's face it: whatever he does or doesn't do will be frantically lambasted by PO hangers-on and assorted toadies. What else can one expect from frustrated losers!?

none of the responsibility

The govt bears sole responsibility for de-Platformising Poland and getting the country moving. That will include scrapping the worst of PO's mislegislation and resisting Brussels' dictates when it is not in the country's best interests.
