Polonia / Polish Zloty Can't Exchange in France!.. [26]

France has everything.

Along with growing discontent about the way things are and an alienation of the ruling elite. Passing more and more draconian laws and attempts at quashing citizens protests.

News / Goodbye Sunday Shopping in Poland - Hello Electoral Reform [246]

But there are plenty of people who work on Sunday

Sure, but shopping malls are not one of those commodifies that people cannot get without.. anyhow I think most of not every European country has some regulation when it comes to shopping on Sundays. Poland just follow suit. I would think those who support EU wouldn't be so rejecting it so harshly.

News / Goodbye Sunday Shopping in Poland - Hello Electoral Reform [246]

What is wrong with giving people choice ?

for shopping? I thought it is all about those who would have to spend that day in work without that choice/ One out of seven. If you cannot make it six days in the row what makes you think you would on the seventh? You run a business right? You should know what I'm talking about. Would be kind of nice if you did.

Why appoint commie prosecutor and a vulgar fishwife to the TK?

She is not, just an act. Why? To divert media and so called opposition from scrutinizing other more sensitive issues. His horizons might be limited but you don't give him his due as a shrewd political operator.

I don't support PiS but there is no other power on the moment that could replace them. PO and all the red scum is not an option they are even worse.

Because I disagree with your views?

No, because it is all more complex on so many levels that you give it a credit for.

No need to be patronising Iron

I'm not. I like you. We don't need to agree on issues. Since I like you I want you to stop you from making ridiculous claims like that

PiS are trying to drag Poland back to the times of communist party rule.

By the way Corbyn is a way worse hands down without any extenuated circumstances. I bet you vote on him.
I don't of you have noticed but I'm against PiS. I wasn't 100% sure for w while. I have given them some time but right now I'm 100^ against them and their rule. Thing is I don't want PO or other red scum to replace them.

knows no foreign languages

How many foreign languages Trump can speak? Well Trump is atypical. What about Clinton, Bush eh?

But hosting that whole iran conference was shameful imo.

They were publicly humiliated by the USA. I strongly suspect I-el lobby had its hands on that. The problem here is not some second rate politicians with no sense or brains but it is a fact they let it happen to their country.

Poland has elites, t

Sure, most of them has their roots planted deeply into soviet Poland soil. Meaning they are inclined to be looking up for a boss. They don't know how to conduct an independent policy. Not do not look up to Kremlin nowadays. PO sucked up to Berlin and PiS is doing the same to Washington. Sadly those forces have an upper hand in Poland's political life. So far. Hell, only recently Poland broke a grip that the Soviet military intelligence held over Poland.

because merkel wants

still PiS has quite a liberal immigration or migration policy. Lettings millions in not only from Ukraine but from Philippines and Pakistan or India as well. Do you think they check their credentials or religion?

the way poland treats iran today

Is not the way Poland sic does that or other, It is a fact that Poland has a problem with its elites, be it lack of them, be it a poor quality of them. Poland lost it elites and its King long time ago and had no opportunity or time to create new elites.

PiS doing its best, is really pitiful in it attempts to navigate the ocean of the international politicks. it doesn't help the vessel needs quality a lot of quality time in a dry dock.

Poland's government is too easy. Being an ally is a art too. Being a helpless vasal is easy. Those who are responsible for it should be branded and traitors.

Making Poland into a banana republic. Those nasty stupid soviet F..kers! PO was dissed for their weasel dependence on Berlin. PiS is not different with their butler like attitude towards USA .

hank the jewnited snakes of america

Oh really? So you say that American elites have no sense or will of their own?

So much for neutrality of the judiciary ...........

Chemikiem, you are not very well informed about Poland's politicks. Just stay away from it. Do me a favor.

The Rule of Law continues to be replaced by Rule of Party.

BS. Away with your partisans' BS. Is not that you are against some or other example of bad governance, you are partisan to the core. THAT is a source of your criticism. Just state your position clear that all I ask. I hate it when you pretend to be an innocent bystander, so called objective observer. It sinks.

For the record. Pis is not worse than others that have been ruling in Poland before it.
So your claim stinks. I wonder are you aware of it or not.

resolution condemning repression against gay people in Uganda

I'm pretty sure there is more to the issue that you have heard. By the way no other gov is as close to Saudi Arabia as a gov of the US of A. What you have against Iran, it is Persia. A country Poland historically and in general had a distant but at the same cordial relations. That worsened after Poland joined NATO.

History / Churchill and Poland [120]

No Iron, you misunderstood Delph.

Yes, on purpose. He claims that Britain went o war with Germany in 1939 for the sake of Poland. A claim that I find laughable.

Britain have realistically put on Stalin after the war?

Hmm it could blow a raspberry on them. I'm not talking about times after the war, it wasn't doable without USA full support. I meant in 1942- 43.

History / Churchill and Poland [120]

I think the UK being willing to go to war over Poland was enough of a sacrifice,

Eh? It is a news to me. What are you talking about?

et Churchill was still willing to go for Moscow.

Above sentence imply that Churchill was willing to go t o war with Soviets over Poland. Don't know about it.
Sure Brits were in a difficult situation IF they wanted to help Poland regain their independence. The issue here is - was that what they really wanted and how much they were willing to stake on that?

From what I know it was a very low item on their priority list. What makes it worst they were hiding a lot from and lying to about stuff to their Polish allies. If they make it clear to the Polish gov in exile as late/early as 1943 where they stand it would make a lot of difference. No wonder Polish people there at the time were feeling betrayed. It is entirely justified as the uk didn't even try to put some pressures on Stalin and if need to be on Roosevelt. Yes, sure pragmatism is good but of you fold before you even do something it is called something else.

Life / "The Poland question?" Is antisemitism growing? [21]

Israel is a jewish state, a

OK! and Poland is a Polish state, should we discriminate against anyone who is not Polish regardless of his/her Polish passport? Would that be fine and dandy?

for very good reasons!

I see, so it all down to excuses. Either something is right universally or not if is not it shouldn't serve as a standard.

anti-israel demonstrations

I guess it has to do with discriminations of non-Jews in Israel not with alleged anti-Semitic that at this point doesn't mean anything else beside being a useful pollical libel to disfranchise your opponent.

History / Cursed soldiers controvercy - not all Poles respect them [320]

Check out one of most known historians - Friszk

He is not the most know but most political one. Anyway if he has a different point of view on t he issue so what ?

The question remains is he saying what he says because he has some facts to back it up or he is using his position to take part in a politically motivated attack on PiS.

If I had family in BS or NSZ I would sue that German.

News / PiS candidates are losing positions in EU Parliament. Will they keep power in Poland? [358]

these incantations aimed at distorting reality are useless.

You should tell that yourself more often. Seems like you are detached from the reality too much.

so fond of PiS

You are not very bright or you doesn't listen to me or you think everybody lies like you. Whichever is the reason I don't care. By now yo should know I'm not found of PiS, I just find other more vile, more disguising and more of hindrance to Poland than PiS.

I hope for Konfedracja to mature into something with more support and much better than anything on the Poland political scene.

How to win to lose? Is that even make any sense. Some desperate BS spewed by morons in their partisan' and tribal warfare. Cheap ******** and you are into it wow!

Typical. That is all Chicken brains have to offer. Not talking about you but in general about so called opposition- bunch of clowns. Nothing to offer just obstruction, should do that using their own money not taxpayers money. Good Konfedracja is in the parliament hopefully they will show what an opposition looks like.

your knowledge of Polish history

what history? I'm saying that in the 80' Soviets weren't keen on military intervention in Poland, relying instead on Soviet Poles like Jaruzelski and all the rest of that scum crew. Him and his apologist lied about it, to look better in the eyes of the public. You my dear baboon are a clearly a firm Soviet supported.

Yes, she is going to be a mocking bird to PiS.

No, she is such a bird brains that she will be laughed at. On the other hand she a good representative for so called KO.

more mocking birds and clowns.

Sure PO is a bunch of clowns and looser that is obvious.
