News / Poland to officially demand $1.32 trillion WW2 reparations from Germany [457]

lol! What a loyal German butler you are.

That is incorrect. A butler is aware of class and etiquete. Pavianowicz has neither, his family were collaboraters with both the nazis and soviets. He is a natural born bootlicker, nothing more, nothing less.

look if u don't want to admit that czech and slovakia are far ahead of poland in transport, red tape, health care and nepotism, then go right ahead, you can say we do it excellently and status quo remains and there is no room for improvement but u just sound like a typical Polish nationalist. Instead of poles being humble and learning from our western slavic neighbours. (esp with the hospital system)

the open-access operator rail model is mandated by the eu, u know that neo-liberal completion thing that is the EU, Sooner or later, no matter whether it's PiS or PO, open-access rail will be the reality in Poland. I, for one, welcome choosing whether I train PKP IC, RegoJet or Leo Express from Wroclaw from Warsaw.

Who owns that?:

A kick ass entrepreneur challenging czeski drahy by using the open-access operator model. he applied for open access for the major trunk routes in poland but was denied by a gov dept because it would impact the revenue of pkp ic. He's launched prague-premysl-lviv-kyiv train but get this, on the stops in poland (krakow etc) regiojet is forbiden to pick up/dropoff domestic passengers. I'm pretty sure polish passengers can't use this train either to get to lviv/kiev but not sure as to the current state of negotiations.

Gov still gets revenue by renting out the tracks to private operators, and the decrease in price and increase in quality stimulates demand.

what's left over being used to support public services.

You keep repeating that but it doesn't make it true, public transport is subsidy based, and revenue negative. Look i understand your position with the disastrous privatisation of Brittish Rail, and the stupid franchising option that john major implemented but really are u arguing that airlines should be run by the government, cause that is what rail is, a transport option. You really want to go back to the days of BOAC/BAE monopoly?

Why having 4 classes is an adventage?

Because each regiojet train has airline style seating, and compartments, and it makes sense to have 2 classes in each category. some people prefer compartments, some people like myself prefer airline style seating. the fact that there is a kids compartment, with tv and toys is like so far ahead of pkp that it blows my mind. also all the other amneties wifi, newspapers, bullt in lcd screens cofee to your seat etc A lazy goverment owned company would never do that.

Those of us who've used them daily are happy with the status quo.

yes that's the problem with poland, the 'we are the best' mentality so why try harder? instead of looking at how things are done to the west with our slavic neighbours, and that includes healthcare, beurocracy and other matters.

just look at these sweet RegioJet trains. 4 classes! Even a kids compartment! Unlike Polregio/TLK a lot cheaper than the state carrier!

That's because of dynamic ticket pricing.

Dynamic pricing works with pkp ic, but not with the others, go on then guv find me a 20zloty cheaper fare to krakow or poznan on polregio and tlk within the next 2 weeks !

TLK and Interregio means that it books up first

hahaha really, cause they have such such a stellar reputation! yes of course everyone would book polregio/tlk before the pendolino, you really are making a fool of yourself. <hint it's a national/local goverment scam/duopoly> what they have to be afraid of? if it's all so fine, then allow the czechs regiojet to compete on polish rails

There's one I use quite often when I visit the UK due

Yes the Grand Central to Yorkshire but do you get off at Blackpool or Poulton-le-Fylde?

The non-PKP ones in Poland are popular; the cheaper fares attract passengers

I had a look at warsaw-poznan/krakov train prices two days out and two weeks out, and the prices were about the same, in fact the pendolino was 20 zloty cheaper than polgregio and tlk! if u think that isn't a dodgy arranged duopoly, people coluding in their gov appointed jobs, then ure insane.

RegioJet and Leo Express have applied many times for open access in poland, to shake PKP up, to the horror of the authorities. hopefully if/when PO gets in they will see sense that competition is good for government monopolies.

I prefer the open access model for some real competition as opposed to different gov owned entities pretending to compete with each other en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-access_operator

Ceske Drahy has had to improve so much with competion from RegioJet.

Sure but PKP IC needs some competition in terms of open access to keep them honest as České dráhy has with RegioJet and Leo Express on trunk routes.

Exactly. Kaczyński is a really evil person.

You know you threaten legal proceedings against me for insulting Trashkowski, and now u are guilty of the same crime. well be carefull pavianowicz as you are residing in poland so the stakes are much higher for you, and there are strict laws in insulting the naczelnik of poland, you don't want to end up in pre trail detention whilst the facts of the matter are sorted out do you?

come to terms with the fact that no single country could possibly process every single, bloody compensation claim out ther

easy for you to say when israel got 36 billion from the krauts, plus a lot more in aid and weapons, and are still demanding more money from poland. Noticed that some rabbis and times of israel have gone back to the poles killed the jews line in trying to derail our repariations claim.

News / Poland to officially demand $1.32 trillion WW2 reparations from Germany [457]

Because unlike Poland, the matter with Namibia was never legally settled in form of a treaty.

The treaty was signed by a puppet goverment under soviet occupation, by proven soviet agent Beriut, with only his sole signature on the paper. Considering the amount of russian troops in poland at the time, one can make the case it was not the actions of a free and sovereign government.

Namibia can actually argue that it soes have a legal claim for reparations.

And what about Greece?

Once more, seems to me far too much for WAY too late in the game!

If Greece and now Namibia can push for reperations now, why not Poland? Or are your potato eating polnische neighbours somehow worse than others?

Opposition leader McHenry Venaani also wants a clear, legal recognition of the genocide. In his open letter to Baerbock, he wrote that the atrocities "cannot only be recognised in a moral and political sense."

In his interview with DW, he referenced reparations again, describing the aid deal - worth €1.1 billion ($1.34 billion) to be paid out over 30 years under the Joint Declaration - as an insult.

No, it isn`t, stop deluding yourself, it is infantile. 70 -80% Poles support the EU and Poland in it

As usual you use an simple debating trick, change the subject to something else when you know you are in the wrong, like a child.

The issue is getting money from EU money, and pressuring Germany with reparations. The majority of poles support getting the EU development funds even with PiS/current legal reforms. You are just a dumb PO parrot, anyway keep chirping away, poland is behind us to bring the EU and Germany to it's senses. Or worse you are a german agent , since you belienve that changing our legal system to that of Spain means we should not be in EU, May your goat be run over by the neighbours truck traitor!

UK, Ireland / Boris Johnson - is the new British PM a popular figure in Poland? [150]

<repost from an aussie forum my post>
This is a disaster for the conservatives and the UK. at least rishi was realistic, these promised tax cuts and hesitation to deal with inflation, the energy crisis and social care will be the ruin of the British economy and the tories. And totally wipe out the boris 'red wall' that was an underpinning of the conservatives electoral success.

The tory rich in their blue ribbon counties fight back, at the cost of a wipe out in the coming election. And Starmer is the least deserving to be a beneficiary of that. I still think Rishi would have made a great leader, first Indian-Brit, son of hardworking migrants reward people making millions but at the same time 'help the red wall working class', overall bland blairite centrist and all that. Like Starme it seems what will elections in the UK.

As for the previous poster saying Corbyn was a natural born loser, there is truth in that, but 'et's not forget he nearly won his first election against May,and if he had followed his anti EU instincts, instead of compromising with his pro EU cabinet he might have won. Granted his far left, anti nuclear and other views were an anchor and the inteligence services with the guardian took full advantage of that, but as the red wall voting against generations of their ancestors for the conservatives shows, it's all a matter of 'no one is speaking for us'.

Corbyin could have been the left populist candidate, he was just , predictably, capped at the knees. A very Brittish coup. Mate just play the game, especially on Israel and keeping Trident nukes.

Truss is handicapped by the blue tory counties that elected her, but as farage said, she's so unpredictable and mad that who knows what might happen? that might be the upside. When the economic crisis is/will happen, and small business are going bankrupt due to 5-10x energy bills, when the poor afford their heating and reports invetibly come out of people freezing to death, who knows what she might do?

does it matter the mild moves, and the massive compromises PiS has made mafketis.
\Have you looked at the mafia state of Bulgraia recently how the f did they get into the eu with their oligarchs and control of gov i'm sure eu regrets it,really idiot read up on their history and their shenanigns over the last five years. And the fact the gov has been overthrown by a mafia fsb pro russian government? nocna zmiana but still not a peep about from germans or eu commission rule of law wake up! it's all fake this rule of stuff! look at the mafia in bulgaria and romania and what pis is doing in poland is like10 percent of that.

we actually had a kgb bodyguard back in the old days become president of bulgaria, assasinations, real mafia style **** and eu funds by their billions going missing, no free press, yet still germany and eu remains silent, cause that kgb dude was merkel ally, and now that the fsb have done a nocna zmiama on the gov and are a russian cut out... really the amount of hypocrisy in the rule of law debate make me throw up!

But we still have traitors like pavianowicz thinking that the rule of law is real, as opposed to being a naked power play by ther germans enjoy ure delusions! in the meantime we will point out the EU fake standards. And that the polish population is behind us.

History / Gorbachev and Poland [63]

. No - he believed in communism

no he did not, he believefd in humanist socialism, if u read his interviews, at one point he had a decision to make, to resign from the communist party, and form his own reformist party, whilst still remaining president of the soviet union, he had a lot of the politbruro and hundreds of supreme soviet chamber behind him. he chose not to do that and in later interviews he said i should have resigned from the communist party in 1990.

we are judging him as the one who made politics.

when someone dies, we judge him as a human being, not as some figure of power. stop being a typical bolshevik.

History / Gorbachev and Poland [63]

More from what I have read:

The historian Ronald Grigor Suny once astutely observed that Gorbachev "desired to be both Martin Luther and the Pope, both radical reformer and preserver of what might be maintained"

Towards the end of Gorbachev's rule, however, nothing was off limits.

He funded, from his pizza hut commercial novaya gazeta the stalwart of refrom in russia. (shut down after invasion unf.)

and i can't be f*d finding where he took his wife, in the late stage of her cancer back to the collective farm and the tractor where he worked , to refind their youth in her dying days.

Vale Gorby. Another dead hero.

History / Gorbachev and Poland [63]

the best obituary on gorby and i've read a few.

few months later the same kgb-led forces mounted a coup and put him under house arrest in Crimea, where he was on holiday. When the putsch collapsed and he returned to Moscow, he chose to go home to care for his wife Raisa, who had suffered a stroke, rather than to play a public politician.

In his unconcealed affection for his wife, he violated the code that demanded of Russian rulers a complete abnegation of private life. But then again, putting private life above the ephemeral interests of the state was his main credo

..When Raisa was diagnosed with leukaemia, he accompanied her to a German clinic to hold her in his peasant's arms. Soon after burying her, he appeared at a backstage party at the Moscow Art Theatre. An actor called on the ex-president to read or sing something. Everyone froze with embarrassment, except Mr Gorbachev. The crowd gave him space, and he sang Lermontov's poem, "Alone I set out on the road. The flinty path is sparkling in the mist."
