News / Poland Parliamentary elections 2015 [1060]

Here is an updated version of the old Kukiz classic. Anybody game to try a rhymed translation into English. Harry, this is your big chance to demonstrate your language skills!

Platforma już się zbliża już puka do mych bram.
Chce wciągnąć mnie w przekręty, lecz ja się im nie dam.
O szczęście niepojęte, bo PiS obroni mnie.
Grandziarzy pośle w diabły, by godniej żyło się!

Food / Is KALE sold available in Warsaw? Anyone fancy jarmuż in Poland? [5]

Merged: Anyone fancy jarmuż (kale)?

Wife picked up a head (bunch, shrub, stalk?) of jarmuż for the first time. She stripped it from its stems, chopped it up and cooked it. It tastes and looks a little like red cabbage. Anyone familiar with kale and know a good way to prepare it. I seem to have read somewhere it was a speciality of the Poznań (Wielkopolska) region. Any Poznanians on PF know whether that's the case?

That's correct except the tense is wrong. It should read: Kukiz WAS very much anti-clerical.
The point is that everyone has to right to clean up their act and return to the straight and narrow. But there are also the stubborn incorrigibles who prefer to arrogantly wallow in their abysmal stupidity and error.

LATEST TNS POLL for "GW": PiS 32,5-proc., PO 26,3-proc., Kukiz'15 10 proc.
PiS could go it alone and count on Kukiz support in key votes. He hates PO with a passion, as do most Poles these days.

For all their shortcomings, at least the right-wing parties do not threaten the traditional fabric of society nor do they try to undermine the family and impose the looney anti-values of the PC dictatorship on schoolchildren, the media and the nation in general.


Indeed, an amazing job of not having roads ready for Euro 2012, choosing unreliable contractors, prolonging construction and disrupting traffic through mulitple deviations and one-lane traffic and so ineptly laying roads that they soon needed to be redone. The PO goons are indeed amazing. Good riddance to the Platformer oldboys!

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


Any hard evidence for that claim or just another nasty PiS-bashing insinuation or speculation? Jarosław told me during their 2 years in government that his brother got interned but he was left at liberty so he could be followed by the PZPR "guardian angels" and possibly lead them to other underground actviists or cells. He was clever enough to shake his tail (being small and squat facilitates getting lost in a crowd).

BTW during that same conversation he said IV RP were planning to outlaw the ex-commie SLD. Too bad they weren't in power long enough to carry out that intention.

Polonia / BRAZILIAN POLISH PEOPLE [21]


PRZYBYSZEWSKI: derived from przybysz (newcomer, new arrival, new person in the village). Either a patronymic nickname: Przybyszewski the son of the przybysz (new guy in town) or toponymic for an inhabitant of some such village as Przybyszew, Przybyszewo, Przybyszów and similar.

Now you're just being contrarian. You know full well that all such "progressive" innovations are the concoction of sick anarcho-leftist, utopianist minds. The decent, patriotic, conservative right opposes such novelties but no-one except you has ever accused them of inventing them!

You forgot how much sacking and cronyism went on after PO first got to power. Par for the course!

It was surgically emasculated Bejgowski-turned-Grodzka that most vociferously promoted the gender thing. PiS was only reacting to it. They did not think it up. How could any normal person even conceive of "gender on request"?!

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


Political correctness is deceitful totalitarian propaganda system
that distorts reality in the name of utopianist-leftist ideological goals. Totalitarian is an apt description because it seeks to dominate the totality of human endeavour, coerce behaviour serving its goals and suppress all dissent.

It claims to overturn old taboos but creates new ones and demadns veneration of its various sacred cows. It undermines religion but creates its own denomnation of libertinism.

It promotes fringe minorities whilst denouncing and incriminating the majority.
What is your defintion of political correctness?

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


Precisely, PO specialise in demonising PiS, no real progrqamme just waving the Kaczyński-Macierewicz scarecrow about. Kopacz has done so repeatedly during the campaign. PO's main preoccupation? The anti-PiS hate industry!

Vote for PO if you look forward to 4 more years of PiS-bashing instead of impoving life in Poland.

Food / Best Polish Potato Variety for Mashing [67]


In Poland the type of potato is not normally identified nor the preparation method specifed. An exception are red-skins known here as amerykany. We like plain-mashed potatoes with no butter or milk added. Since they are usually garnished wtih skwarki, gravy or pan drippings, that would make them too rich fior my taste and gastric system.

I've got an Aunt in the States who makes them the way you decribe -- butter, milk and whipped with an electric whisk. I find those mushy-sticky and thoroughly unpalatable, tasting like potato flake insatnt mashed potatoes. But her family likes them that way. As the French say to each his gout!

It was always officially called "routine police control". Anyway, have your fun -- five more days of Kopaczland. As one politician told Tomasz Lis, "You'll soon be a refugee from Polish State Television!"

News / Poland Parliamentary elections 2015 [1060]


Identical arguments were voiced by Jerzy Urban in defence of detetnions, street round-ups, home searches and other such "routine" police-state tactics.
The glib justifications were backed up by very "convincing" rubber-encased
cable batons. Kopacz has apparently remained faithful to the Jaruzelski heritage.

It was a clear case of poltically ordered harassment. Grzegorz Przemyk, a secondary-school graduate, was hauled in for a "routine check" in Old Town in 1983. His funeral took place several days later. That's how all regimes operate. Google for details.

Sure, a campaign coach prominently labelled Szydłobus leaving TV HQ is like any other bus. They're two a penny, ain't they?


Exactly which rights did Szydło vote against?

News / Poland Parliamentary elections 2015 [1060]


Kopacz regime sends their police to harass challenger Beata Szydło. Upon leaving the TV debate site Szydło's Szydłobsu was stopped, inspected by police and written up. Were they looking for concealed weapons, underground leaflets or what? In any event it smacked of PRL all the way. That's when the world's ugliest Jew Jerzy Urban used to regularly lie through the teeth that there were no political prisoners in Jaruzelski's Poland. They all were jailed for specific criminal offences.

You seem to go round expelling people from parties, sacking offcials, impeaching presidents,etc. But on one condition: that they're from PiS.
The PO scam artists and artwork-stealing heads of state get off scot free, because they're from PO. Indeed, you are unbiased, impartial and fair-minded to the core. NOT!

Personal modesty and decency are not prudery but a sign of decorum, restraint and good taste.

Utter Platformerian bollocks! Making a federal case out of a minor local incident is typical of small-minded PO backers. Maybe "Wybiórcza" should splash a banner headline across their front page:

If PiS & allies get 43%, PO 22% and Kukiz and PSL 6% each, there'll be no problem with a vote of confidence. If more of the little also-rans make it, then the situation might be a bit more troublesome. I am hoping and praying for the former option leading to a go-it-alone United Right government.
