News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

some of us can speak the langauge of Kochanowski and Mickiewicz fluently

Some of us sneer at the school system where young adults still have to learn Polish for Matura. Absolute nonsense, and an appalling waste of time and demotivating for many students destined for a career in the Sciences.

News / New European Council's report: "Poland oasis of racism, xenophobia and homophobia" ... [343]

we should have our own way, our own evolution of social, political and economical life

Your usual self- serving nonsense Crow:)

In modern times, Poland has always been a central Europe country in spite of those Soviets' best efforts to entrap her in Eastern Europe. Poland is in fact aligned to Western Europe, socially and politically, and that is where she shall remain.

Sorry to break that axiomatic fact to you.

You have fed us this "guru" before Wulkan. Don't let the Birmingham Workers Party boys see you supporting that rubbish. They'll have your guts for garters.

In the meantime, in the real world...... for the most part of the last 8 years, we never heard about what Tusk was up to, or what the president said.

Which is exactly as it should be.

They were too busy improving Poland. And improve they did. IMO. Who can do better? PIS are already fecking up big style, the markets are mightily displeased, and a vote for some pop star isn't going to put dinner on the table, is it?

PKO

Well remembered by those of us who either visited or lived in Poland in the 80s. I always did my business with Bank Handlowy w Warszawie anyway.

PKO should be avoided like the plague now that there is free choice. It's really as simple as that.

PS: PKO has built itself a prestigious centre on the waterfront in Gdynia, bang opposite Dar Pormorza. The MOST expensive land anywhere in Poland bar opposite the Warsaw Marriot one could suggest. When I last checked, it wasn't necessary for bank staff to have a sea view to do their job, and to be situated next to another eponymous Marriot.

It's your money folks!

A great many people find Christophobia, pervert parades and the whole aborted concept of PC highly offensive.

But Polonius - I know of a wood near Gdynia (was dog walking - really:))) ) - where the local exhibitionists/gays go in their cars on a Sunday........

So I will now avoid that wood..........it's their place of "worship".
Similarly, I have no interest in the Gay Rights Parades OR churches on a Sunday. I somehow manage to avoid both very easily.............

You??????? PS. Said wood is in Rzucewo :)

The police = perjuring lying scum in the pay of the authorities Polonius. You, as a commie hater, should know that axiom. A frankly astonishing oversight on your part.

As a citizen, try the same perjury - and see where that lands you.....

PiS cannot win

We are already seeing that several cities, including Warsaw, are saying they will abide by the law as decreed by the Constitutional Tribunal, and will refuse to adopt the PIS "legislation" as far as it pertains to abuse of the Supreme court ruling.

Oh, but this is fun!

Nearly all countries allow their citizens to vote wherever they may be living, so why should Poland be any different.

Which ones?

Too right it did. That was when the pilot's decision making was interfered with by unauthorised persons entering the cockpit.
We await the huge payments in criminal damages that the state will be making to the victims.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

Jarosław Kaczyński in one of older interviews he conducted with him said openly that civic society in Poland should be eliminated because it gets in the way of the power of the state.

Yes. In the same way that Thatcher infamously said "There is no such thing as society."

That failure to investigate properly Smolensk lowered position of Poland significantly.

The whole world was shocked by the criminally negligent death of 90 plus innocents. Much later, the whole world was laughing at Poland (again) because of PIS's "theories".

It was left to the government of the day to point out that any confusion as the cause was just the view of some nationalist retards with no economic policies, that had to dream up yet another conspiracy theory to hide their lack of any political solution.

We have the release of the film comedy of the year aka "Smolensk" to look forward to. The citizens of Tri-City will be rolling in the aisles with laughter, I can guarantee you that.

And please do carry on with the silly posts - that's what we have come to expect when we read your moniker.

If said foreigner is an EU citizen, no, not a chance.

Don't feed the (nationalist) troll Harry.

When a foreigner, best not to get involved! ;)

Don't be a silly billy InPolska. You know Katowice, so you will have heard of John Baildon. Brits have been coming here for centuries, and I feel like I've been here for centuries too, so I bloody will have a voice while I still have a tongue.

And unlike many on PF, I am a taxpayer, ground rent et al. So that troll with his threats can kiss my arse.

The only problem is that it gets slightly creepy

All of this tittle-tattle is very Daily Mail chaps. Policies and the economy are what matters here. And take a look in the mirror. I know I have:(

Kaczynski is fair game because of his homophobic past of course.............

Note the use of " Poland's new nationalist government..." The third of those words being a derog in the English language......

Every bloody day embarrassing news comes out of Poland now. Don't people have any pride? Oh wait!

That's what the world was saying in the 80s.

Absolutely disgraceful.

But it is the government isn't it. A PIS government let the NeoCon clergy dictate to them. The clergy don't know any better but the government on the other hand should legislate.

you are committing a transgression

Kondzior, nobody will ever win this argument. But the individual rules her own body, and within reasonable guidelines such as are in place in the free world, (and I absolutely include backward catholic diktat in that group) she should be left alone to exercise her human rights.

That is my view, and I don't wish to start a debate, but only that the church is not wanted by the majority in present day Poland in government and are hell bent on scoring a spectacular own-goal if they don't back-track.

Someone needs to drill it into the Polish clergy's thick skulls that this is not communism, and their day of omnipresence is past.
At the moment, Polish girls head off to the Netherlands in distress, akin to the sixties in Britain. It really is a disgrace, as are the huge numbers of unwanted babies. Not that I know anything of it, but it is yet another symptom of attempted government interference in people's lives.

You would say

But the pro-choice lobby are not telling people how to run their lives. There's the difference.
It's called freedom of the individual, and that's the world I choose to live in.

PS As Poland is in the EU, Szydlo and her creepish coterie should be put bang to rights.

The morning-after abortion pill is highly toxic especially to juveniles and can cause permanent sterility and other health issues.

LOL. That's why it is called "the morning after pill." By the time the woman had hesitated about arguing the toss with the doctor, it would be too late.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with this.

Not interesting - disgusting.

Another episode of Poland being dragged screaming into the 20th century - a full 100 years behind more enlightened countries in so many ways.

Meanwhile, the labrador will continue to be walked and entertained, off his lead, but womens' fundamental rights to pro-choice will be ridden roughshod over in this scum conservative post communist world that some Poles want to return to.

The real people to blame are the Radio Maria listening women who genefluct before these criminal "catholic" priests, who are misrepresenting the Gospels and spreading hate.

There is never ever an answer to the question of abortion - so let those who will, do what they have to do, just as we all do as we please in our own anarchic way. If somebody wants to kill their unborn baby at an early stage, that's their regret, and their business, and they are judged by Him, not by some pathetic NeoCon government, whose members never have to worry about the scenario of (poor mum to dad) " Don't give the fecking baby lard again, you fecking idiot."

(Angry anti- PIS clergy) Rant over.

If somebody wants to kill their unborn baby

My shame - and the shame of these scum who support this Bill. I meant "Is more often than not desperate and feels she has little alternative."

No woman in the world says " I'm bored - what shall I do today......I know! I'll go and have an abortion! That'll be a laugh."

engaging in sabotage and undermining Poland's international image.

You are having a laugh surely Polonius?

The scum behaviour in refusing to contribute to the refugee crisis by offering money to the refugee camps was one disgrace, as was the overtly racist outcry and dehumanisation over a minimalist quota of 7,000 refugees.

As if that didn't damage Poland's image abroad enough, there is also the small matter of the attempted political rearranging the highest court in the land and messing with the media.

All known as, Poland being back in it's rightful place as the laughing stock in Europe, behind Hungary, Romania and Slovakia - but those countries aren't on the diplomatic radar anyway - Poland IS supposed to be a modern country with humanitarian values - or it WAS, until this nationalist braying mob got voted in by the illiterate in society for their short stay.

I wouldn't advise you to go in any case as you don't like Irish music.
