provable how

Cases, as I have pointed out to PiSlamic, should be thoroughly investigated. Recentrly a Pole was extradited from Austria for a crime comitted 19 years ago. And that was a common crime (murder). Crimes such as treason and political persecution should also be prosecutable even if committed in the past.

Why limit it to only them?

Maybe you'd penalise doctros who worked in the communist state's hospitals? Or every worker in a state factory? The Romans called that reductio ad absurdam.

Even TWs must be investigated to see whether someone signed but did not sntich, or feigned snitching by providing false but innocuous information. Penalised should be those whose collaboration actually harmed others. Members of the SB, judiciary (like Stefan Michnik hiding in Sweden) and prosecutors who falsely sentenced patriots in some cases to death should be the most severely penalised. NAturally, all this should have been dealt with at the start of transformation, but the RT clique used all their clout to derrail any semblance of decommunisation.

crimes by people

Every proven TW (paid SB informer) should be penalised. Not necessarily sent to jail but perhaps have their fatcat pensions trimmed down to average level and assets acquired during the period of TW collaboration possibly confiscated in part or whole (depending on different circumstances). The assets should be used to compensate their known victims. Above all their collaboration should be widely publicised. Why do you think Schetyna wants to disband IPN? His party contains the most members with such things on their conscience. Maybe not Schetyna himself but Walęsa (Bolek), Komorowski (Litwin), Tusk (Oskar - for Stasi no less!), Boni (Znak) and many more. Each case must, of course, be thoroughly investigated so no innocnet people get punished.

a reality I don't live in

In every country one can fucntion within elitist circles and say how wodnerful things are, but what does that prove? Does that provide an oversight of the nation as a whole? Do surveys provide the whole naswer? The memebrs of the RT clique use precisely the rhetoric you do.

One thing you have failed to address: is it permissible to have former communist oppressors and their famileis thrive, whilst their victims, those they beat, jailed, blackmailed or otherwise persecuted, including many of the 10-million-strong Soldiarność, can barely make ends meet or live on stravation pensions? The majority, contrary to your suggestion, are not lowlifes and work shrikers but often live in towns where Balcerowicz sold off or destroyed the area's sole or principal employer.

neither "ł" nor "ń" are English letters.

Deficient keyboards cannot explain away Anglo-stupidity. Somehow other posters have no problem typing Jarosław Kaczyński. A text may be in English but foreign terms and names should be spelt correctly nevertheless, e.g. Führer, coup d'état, déjà vu, façade, caffè, piñata, Solidarność, Marshal Piłsudski, Poznań, Łódź, etc.

First Secretary Kaczynski

Voters voted not for a man but for the pro-Polish, people-friendly PiS political programme. They thereby utterly rejected the preceding status-quo-upholding, foreign-itnerest-serving scamster regime. Somehow PiSlamic Harry has failed to explain how it was that after 8 years of PO misrule it became the only party not only in so-called III RP but in Polish history to suffer an outright defeat at the polls. The level of voter disgust and revulsion at the Platformer regime had to reach unprecedented heights for that to occur.

And it's Law and Justice leader (or chairman) Jarosław Kaczyńsk, in case you didn't know.

he should behave like on

There is no law forcing a party leader to be PM. When SLD won Pawlak was PM, then Cimoszewicz and Belka. What personnel strategy a winning party uses is entirely up to them. And JK is every bit as entitled to freedom of speech as that bandit Tusk is. Who are youto deprive him of it?

I've been here since '95

Precisely, you missed the hands-on observation of PRL which would enable one to see the ploys and ruses rebadged former commies used to worm their way into III RP and obliterate any consideration of accountability. You couldn't see the forest for all the trees -- identifying as you did with one faction (the RT clique), you lacked a wider view of the big picture.

people to call you anything they want to

But they do. Po, Poly even Saint Polyanna (that's Atch's contribution I believe). And PiSlamic is not a name but a descriptive adjective. Just like 50-beers-a-night Harry or sodomistic Harry -- both publicly admitted to right here on FP.

He was elected on his own merits in his voting district like everyone else. No woman to hide behind there.

If PiSlamic according to you is OK, then what's wrong with using it to describe the term's No. 1 user and proponent?

First Secretary Kaczynski

PiSlamic Harry is at it again, misspelling and mistitling Poland's leading 21st-century poltical figure. PiS leader, PiS chairman, outstanding poltical strategist, leading Polish statesman, a worthy successor to the Great Marshal Piłsudski -- there are so many more accurate options to choose from.

BTW, since you have thoroughly invesitgated the subject, seeing you're the only one to constsantly bring it up, do tell us how JK's volunteering scenarior went:

Did he go to the justice ministry and tell the porter: "I'm here to prosecute dissidents, where do I sign up?" Porter: "That'd be room 203, proszę pana."

small group of people

In the overall scheme of things it is indeed a small group of people in this nation of 38 million. But those protecting their lost status quo are strategically positioned in such opinion-moulding areas as politics, media, showbiz and academia where their brain-washing potential far exceeds their numerical strength. Look at the judge and lawyer hate session in Katowice or the showbiz community's destruction of the Opole festival. You may dislike the use of the term mafia, so call it a clique, in-group, coterie, formation, whatever. The point is it all began at the Magdalenka follow-up to the roundtable where the luminaries of hte PZPR, KOR and Solidarity people willing to play ball with them laid the groundwork of what they euphemistically called III RP. Those were no longer communists or Trotzkyites but pure opportunists who deftly promtoed such crowd-pleasing gestures as restoring the eagle's crown, dismissing PRL and calling it III, not IV RP, pressing for the withdrawal of Soviet troops and similar moves which only disguised the group's true objectives: power and prestige. And one must admit they did an excellent job of bamboozling the Polish public and international opinion for quite some time. Yes, that clique are masters of progandsa and PR, but does that make them right? And yes, PiS are rough round the edges if not downright clumsy in that area. But if glibness and slickness are to be one's main criteria, then one could say the monopoly on truth is held by Madison Avenue. No-one is more adroit at packaging and selling ideas lifestyles and things!

You were not here back then, but as an educated person do you truly believe the status quo crowd (that's pretty neutral, innit?) are really all about constituions, tribunals and suchlike legal niceties rather than self-interest? If given the choice of remaining an oppositon or regaining power on condition they drop all the imponderables, do you really believe the majority would not opt for the latter?

the last time PIS were in power

And the last time PO were in power they got voted out of office in Polish history's first-ever outright landslide victory. That is something neither you nor your pitiful excuse for a disciple can explain despite all the the exaggerations, distortions and antics with semantics for which your twosome are known. THE POLISH NATION WAS SIMPLY FED UP WITH THE UNKEPT PROMISES, LIES AND SCANDALS OF THE PLATFORMERS' SCAMSTER/BANKSTER REGIME IN THE SERIVCE OF FOREIGN-INTEREST GROUPS!

Just like last time, when people turned out

Indeed, just like last time when they voted PO out of office, and for the first time in Polish history (since 1918) won the election outright. That says a lot about what the Polish nation thought of the 8 years of PO's post-commie-clique misrule and mismanagement.

All your anics with semantics, distortions, badmouthing, squirming, wiggling and backtracking cannot wipe out the clear, historic victory of October 2015!

Kaczynsk

It's Kaczyński, Hairy, not Kaczynskii. Misspelling of people's names is not permitted. Ń is a separate letter of the alphabet which follows N.

Again the hyPOcrytical PiSlamic Harry. He claims there is no collective guilt, so what did youg lads have to do with being raised where they were.

is certainly the most accurate

So you are the sole PF-er allowed to make up names? By what rules? What is wrong with PiSlamic Hairy. To some that is a most apt and accurate description.

I can't believe the mods are no unobjective that they allow one poster to make up or dsitgort names and titles, whilst condemning the same thing when otehrs do.

You will notice that *** (PO with na extra O), Gronkowiec and a few others have disappeared, but a certain poster keeps spewing his TV Maybach and Pislamic nonsense with impunity.

Another PiS mess

More lower-case antics with semantics. It was the Opole mayor who was reluctant to sign a contract as late as April but grudgingly did even though he advocated censoring the planned performance the King of Polish Cabaret Jan Pietrzak. After Rodowicz got TVP to agree to all the performances, she was viciously attacked for appearing on TVP to explain the situation that the show would go on. Her 93-year-old mother had just died and she was in the midst of a divorce, so the frontal attack by showbiz backers of the ruthless losers camp was too much to take and she withdrew.

But the Polish Song Festival will go on as planned but at a new venue. Maybe that's for the best. Opole voters will know better than to vote for a mayor who deprived their city of both prestige and revenue. And some other town will benefit by haivng a new tourist attraction. Yet anotehr "total opposition" ploy that has bacfired. Way to go, losers.

seven immediate predecessors

One wonders what they've got on their conscience?

unaffiliated to any party

Fellow travellers, useful idiots and non-party opportunists are normally not affiliated with any party. That's why parties such as the PZPR and PO can point to them and say: "See, they aren't members but they support us because we're right!" A ruse as old as the hills!

many millions of voters

Under Gierek there were 3 mln PZPR members, thousands of ZSL and SD members plus countless fellow travellers, usfeul idiots and opportunists, esp. in academia and showbiz. Most every such person who got a passport to travel abroad professionally had to pledge to become an SB snitch. All those people did not all just disappear after 1989, and their famileis continue to enjoy the fruits of PRL-era collaboration. SO yes-- it was and remains a very big clique Remember -- all you know is what fellow-PiS-bashers and their vindictive media tell you. You weren't even here back then, so what do you know?

due to

Even a psychopath has got his "because" or "due to". He will find a "reason" for even the most outrageous conduct. But in a civlised country does a modified event programme warrant a ruthless, barbaric attack. According to the"total" opposition, everything does. The status-quo trough must be regained at all costs, and that's the bottom line. Since no-one suspects you of links to the nomenklatura or post-communism, you must be amongst those taken in by all the PR niceties about constitutions, tribunals and rule of law. Those make nice window dressing but the entire row is about PO's quest to regain the lost power and privilege they believe is rightfully theirs.
