Whereas the KODerasts were sure their much vaunted protest march would turn people against their democratically elected government, quite the opposite is true. The latest IBRIS poll shows 33% backing for PiS (6 points up on last month), 21% for Petru (down from 22%) and 12% for PO (a 3 point drop). SLD's ex-commies got 6% and PSL moved out of the twilight zone and cleared the threshold with 5%. Some analysts feel one of the reasons was that 500+ has kicked in over the past month.

Bashing PiS is your sole concern wheher not it is wise, logical, sensible or consistent with your own views. On the one hand you shed crocodile tears over how 500+ and lowering retirement age are battering the poor state budget, but when spending is reduced, you condemn that as well. In the States it is said of such people that they're "full of sh*t!"

You undoubtedly rank yourself amongst them. It's truly amazing how one person can have so much expertise in so many difference areas, even forest management!

Yeah, sure! Like when they drop charges or fail to follow through on cases not to the liking of the PO government. Every judiciary is independent...on paper.

But in real life judges have their needs, hobbies and families to support and know which side their bread is buttered on (ie who is in in power at any given point n in time).

Sure, let's do away with English as a subject in the US and UK. They speak English at home and on the street so why botehr teaching it to 'em in school!?

the fact is that every educated peson regardless of their speciality should be fluent in their native tongue. Already the Platformer educational system has turned out half a generation of troglodytes weaned on rap, action films and computer games who are barely able to articulate their thoughts (if they have any) in standard Polish.


And just leave the birch-bark-beetle infested stands alone so the plague can spread to unaffected parts of the woodland, right? That will make the EC happy and prompt them to get off Poland's back. A true stroke of genius even by your troglodytic standards!

BTW, not travelling out Belarus way this weekend for another interesting liaison? Hey, you can tell folks you wanted to see PiS's destruciton of the Białowieża World Heritage Site with your own eyes. It's in that general area making this a highly plausible alibi.

I believe forcing pupils specialising in the humanities to study maths and science is a demotivating waste of time. OK for computer nerds but not for linguists, writers, culture buffs, artists and other creative types.

You're upset some of us can speak the langauge of Kochanowski and Mickiewicz fluently, not hum and haw in pidgin Polish. Maybe suck on that plastic card and some linguistic fleuncy may get through by osmosis.

Thanks for translating the audit results so our full-blooded Anglo-expat plastic-card "Poles" will know what's going on in their "homeland". We all know how the resentful poor losers' camp will react: "All lies, distortions, falsified data, false figures, false images, false, false, false and 'poor cabaret' to boot."

The formulation: "Przezpraszamy za 8 lat nieróbstwa, marnotrawstwa, zaniedbań, chybionych projektów, przekrętów i bezwstydnej prywaty" apparently doesn't exist in the Platformer lexicon! (Anglo-expats rush to Google Translate!)

No, it expresses disapproval of the Michnik/SB roundtable clique that hijacked the Solidarity revolution, sold Poland into the hands of foreign interest groups and called the shots for a quarter of a century until October 2015 -- a time of deliverance from PRL-2.

The PiS government will be behind bars - Wałęsa warns

Former president Lech Wałęsa has criticized the PiS government's audit of their PO-PSL predecessors as "Soviet style" tactics. "I warn them [the PiS government], he who lives by the sword, dies by the sword," Wałęsa said on TVN, a station known for its anti-government editorial policy. "I will say this: you will arrest some people, but almost all of you will be arrested in good time," Wałęsa emphasized. "They are constantly looking for enemies, Soviet-style. There must always be an enemy in order to govern," Wałęsa has been on the outs with the Kaczyński twins and their political allies ever since communist-era files were opened in 1992 identifying him as an SB informer codenamed Bolek. To remain in the limelight, Wałęsa is known to regularly come up with hard-hitting remarks the media are sure to publicize.

Of course you can cite some examples, of course. Otherwise this will be yet another bald-faced, er, um, I mean bald-headed Harryesque lie.


The largest demographic amongst the KODerast rabble-rousers are late middle-aged or retired.

That is about as relevant as showing that 42% of Poles support little green men from Mars with tentacles on their heads. It has absolutely no bearing on the lawmaking process which takes place not on the streets but in the Sejm. So the rabble-rousers can rant, chant and fume till they're blue in the face and it still amounts to no more than last winter's snow.

Bollocks! They announced months ago that audits were being painstakignly prepared. That was way before the KOD creeps decided to make mega-fools of themselves with last Saturday's pathetic rerun of their boring, trademark "rant in the street" spectacle.

And we all know who left the eocnomy in such disarray. "Grab what you can and run" was the order of the day. The scamster regime were concerned only about feathering their own nest and to hell with the country.

Certain emergency situations require untypical or radical action. One such situation is the state of mismanagement, squandered public funds, failed or abandoned projects, greed ethic and general scmaster climate of the fortunately now defunct PO-PSL regime. Morawiecki said they left the economy and administration in such disarray that 20 years may not be enough to clean up the mess. And those are the PO gangsters and bandits you so eagerly supported all along, making convoluted excuses for ther scams and misdeeds. Shame on you!

This might be a great nad apt anthem for KOD (to be sung tothe melody of "God bless America")

God bless the KODerasts, grouping divine.
Stand beside them and guide them, just as long as the profits are mine.
Here's to Petru and Schetyna and their SB guys in tow.
God bless the KODerasts, the status quo! (Repeat)

It looks that way. Some of the former scamster regime's misdeeds have already been reported to the prosecutor's office. The ball is now in their court.

Poland's previous government wasted PLN 340 billion of taxpayers' money, Prime Minister Beata Szydło said on Wednesday in a report to parliament. She added: "The wasted" money could have gone to provide family benefits, 5,000 newly-built kindergartens, 250 new hospitals and 1,500 km of motorways. "The opportunities and possibilities that you denied Poles cannot be calculated... this money was just wasted".

Treasury Minister Dawid Jackiewicz accused the previous government of "seven deadly sins in the management of public assets: greed, mismanagement, extravagance, breaking procedures, using companies for political purposes, and action against the state's interests."

One after another the ministers presented the errors, failings and irrregularities of the PO-PSL regime. Rather than explain or apologise, PO leader Grzegorz Schetnya dimissed the scathing charges as "bad cabaret".

You've doubtless heard Morawiecki's presentation today on how treasury companies are to to become bastions of honesty, transparency and economic patriotism with none of the hanky-panky the previous government was known for. Today the audits are being revealed and they present a horrific picture of Platformer waste, mismanagement, featherbedding, scamminand idle inactivity.

The banking law is clearly defective if it lacks a clause prohibitng passing on tax expenses to customers. Banks should be closely monitored and one that does that should have its licence revoked. If they leave the country, all the better, since an indigenous Polish bank will take up the slack and fill the gap... and banking profits will not go flowing to Spain, Germany, Austria, Italy or wherever.

They came, they marched, they ranted and went home and absolutely nothing has changed.
Whether there were 40,000, 250,000 or 500,000, that is all short of Schetyna's hoped-for million-strong mob. But even a million on the streets streets cannot pass a single law in parliament, so parade attendance is totally irrelevant.

Now the losers are mounting a grand anti-PiS coalition 3.5 years ahead of elections. Anyone want to bet on the amount of in-fighting and back-biting that will entail?

Loathesome only to those dreaming of a return of the PO scamster era. The KODists have reportedly created a new version of the Polish religious anthem "Boże coś Polskę". It ends with the words: "Ojczyznę dojną racz nam wrócić, Panie!"

...And nasal-voiced lady mayor is the leader of the PO-controlled town-hall clique, not the mayor of all Warsovians. She is notorious for blatantly inflating marcher figures when the marchers fit her agenda. The opposite is true whenever Solidarność protesters or Independence Day Polish patriots march. Fortunately council elections are not too far off and msot likely she will get swept from power like the remaining Platformer scamsters. Her family are known for their shady dealings involving ex-Jewish real estate. R U 1 2?

Krauts are not a race, so how can anything relating to them be racist?
