criminal activity they should stomp on it.

Being a Pommy Chav is a Criminal Activity by itself, which on arrival in Poland, should under the proper Acts, be punished by a beating of Poland's jails finest hooligans.

@jon
read my post that got carted to off topic. funny how you would make a new topic about this, feeling more allegiance to the stag party male chav pro brexit breeders these days? **** these pommy kunts, wanna watch and slap tits and ass? do it it england. come to poland? well we kombinonujemy out of your pounds. slap em, drug em, get the skinheads to beat them to an inch of their lives. and when they complain let the police rob them too while pretend they care.

Lesson 1. Poland is not here for your cheap pommy stag parties. We are not your EU ******.

We have our own history and culture and that does not involve your cheap as* tourism.

They probably would,

Like Tusk talking but doing nothing about Dopalacze and it took Zobrio to finally clean up that quasi-criminal enterprise? Not to mention that 80 percent of people in jail are working not sitting around watching tv like under PO.

This strip club bust was a multi year operation btw.

News / Strip clubs raided in Poland [20]

These raids would never have happened under a post-communist PO government.

well well, i noticed that Notes From Poland is a fundacja now, and getting money from the National Endowment for Democracy. Well at least the anti-pis movement has been defanged by the war. Good article on Razem though, glad they have some principles, unlike Biedron and SLD charlatans.

Together (Razem), Poland's democratic socialist party, announced that it would cease cooperation with two large international left-wing organizations, DiEM25 and the Progressive International. While unexpected, Together's separation is just one of the latest events in a long-simmering rift between Western and Eastern European leftists that is now bubbling to the surface. Publicising that divide may have strengthened many Eastern European left-wing parties.

. Even on the best designed aeroplane.

hey old man u sound like ure stuck with BAE and what they pioneered. pitty the yanks and boeing fuc*ed em over with the Trident. so waht u trying to say? that chopin should be shut down in the next 5 years? cause your PO mates have properties near there>?

The rail link to Okecie does work

No it does not Fing not. any tourist will be so Fing confused about the SKM and KM trains stopping at Chopin, and how u can get ZTM.pl ticket that excludes SKM and KM but includes from Chopin, stupid madness.

thats the \thing with pommy expats they been so long in poland and they think this pierdolona zezawictosc i waht it is. wtf? 2 train companies goin from chopin, and they have their terminating station on the train so who knows where they are goin in the CBD. it is a Fing mess.

There have been accidents there before; the next one could be worse

Are you referring to the two IL-62 crashes? those Ilyushins had a very bad design fault, that if an engine had a catastrophic fault, the pieces of the engine would cut the hydraulic control cables making the plane unflyable. After the first crash the Poles wrote to the russians explaining it all, and typically it was swept under the carpet by the ruskis and ignored.

There are many places in built-up areas and that is no problem for chopin to operate, (sydney airport for one)

I am not suggesting it replaces Chopin, just both replace the need for CPK. Dublin is the same size as Chopin yet takes twice the aircraft movement, An upgrade to traffic control would enable this, combine that with expanding Modlin and we don't need CPK for 40 years. The rail investment to have everything go through/terminate at CPK is stupid, instead of linking cities directly with high speed rail.

Through it's holding by the Polish Airport Authority and the Military which owns the majority of Modlin, PiS is blocking the expansion of the terminal. Also it only takes building a 5km spur line to the airport by PKP, this is being held up as well.

Buzz words are appealing yet ultimately mean very little.

I would say exactly the same about posting ukr flags on twitter/fb/instagram, and voting for ukr in eurovision because it's the 'cool thing' to do.

It's better than doing nothing.

I disagree. It's better to focus on improving one's self, Ayn Rand style, so that one can make a meaningful difference instead of being a keyboard warrior/signaller

Have you heard of Cliodynsmics?

I suspect it means very little.

Virtue Signalling
To take a conspicuous but essentially useless action ostensibly to support a good cause but actually to show off how much more moral you are than everybody else.

Fred: I see George has changed his profile picture to show his support for refugees.
Barbara: Has he donated money or time? Is he giving English lessons? Is he making a room available?
Fred: No, no, he's just virtue signalling.

A phenomena where someone campaigns for or otherwise shows their support for an often popular position without actually doing anything meaningful to further the cause that they claim to champion. This is one of the main signs of late democracy and otherwise shows the prevalence of cult figures in a society: political or otherwise.

Also takes form with "thoughts and prayers", and other meaningless statements.

I have to partly take back my statement about eurovision as the Ukranian winners are going to be touring europe , with the money raised going to the Ukranian army. that's pretty hardcore, glad they chose that instead of the safe option of some humanitarian org.

tvpworld.com/60223901/ukraine-eurovision-winners-to-tour-europe-to-raise-money-for-army

I prefer 'virtue signalling' (whatever that means)

You know exactly what it means, isn't that the exact definition of what novi does on his FB page?

I like what piers morgan said on the subject of eurovision.
"This predictable landslide was just a gigantic piece of unctuous Euro virtue-signalling - the TV equivalent of people sticking a Ukraine flag on their Instagram with a hug emoji and thinking they've done their bit.""

were rolled out then suddenly lost validity on the WKD and on the SKM predecessor.

Yes it's so stupid, the tickets page on ZTM.waw is so confusing with all these conditions/exceptions for SKM/WKD and KM. It is so stupid that warsaw council and the sorounding municipalities cannot get along. On a national level it's dumb that Polregio is separate from PKP/TLK. The whole thing is just a mess. why can't poles just get along? I know they did because of 'amerkyanski rynek' and competion but sometimes with public transport, an goverment monopoly or a tightly integrated system with private players but heavily regulated by the Gov is the best.

One thing I am pissed at PiS, is that because the Modlin municipality is run by PO, they want to destroy Modlin airport. Instead of expanding Modlin as the Chopin replacement.

I have come to realise the CPK is just a waste of money, and is being used to pay PiS aparchiks to basically do nothing. Modlin would be a better option, or just bit the bullet and demolish that highway that PO built next to Chopin and expand that in tandem with Modlin.

The rail investment that is part of CPK is great though and should be kept.

this is cool. the krauts are introducing a 9 euro for 3 months public transport ticket for the WHOLE of germany. that is you can use buses and trains everywhere excluding the ICE and EC trainsd This is the advantage of an integrated government led/run public transport system. Something we can only dream about in Poland, I mean look at the mess that is Warsaw with these confusing tickets of SKM/KM additions.

in about 30 - 40 minutes.

Yes that is the western and global definiton of living in a major city, no matter the voting districts. You live in Warsaw. Anyone who lives 30-40min drive from Paris CBD lives in Paris.

He give power to two groups, one are crooks white collar, the other fringe leftie nutters

Bingo! Do a bit of virtue signalling and the NPCs quickly forget they are being stolen from and nothing has been achieved in warsaw. They didin't even bother to update the third metro line from the plans from the 1970s, and it is going the wrong alignment and to the wrong places, wasting billions.

What are you babbling about? A few days ago you post that PiS is doing a great job nationally during the war and now you allude that PiS would be a working for Russia if they were in Warsaw.

Turned on Polsat News to hear Trashkowski say that a diplomat's rights are sacred and that the police should have protected the russian ambassador! that would involve the police beating the ukranian protestors back what the F? Did he just fall back to the PO's russophiliac ways or is he trying to score cheap political points, or he's just a dumb ass?

I'm still wondering about what sort of candy he is distributing around warsaw, rule no 1. don't get high on your supply...

LOLz i just flicked to a random bit and heard him say "we are distributing candy" Would you trust this man to give candy to your kids? :)

He has just voiced his stout objection to the celebration of 9 May

Easy to talk when when you have no power or decision making in the matter, now tell me this Which party stopped the construction of the baltic pipe in 2007? You know the one that would have gotten us energy independence from russia a lot earlier?

P.S ,regarding the rumours about Trzaskowski's nightclub shenanigans, I wonder what sort of candy he is talking about :) :)

Life / Will Poland ever be multicultural like Sweden, Germany or France? [283]

Capitalism can only work if it is reined in by democratic controls. Otherwise water finds it's own level.

Indeed, every 'game' needs referees with appropriate penalties. Imagine the EPL/Football if there were no referees! The problem with capitalism in democracies is a fair amount of the referees are under resourced, corrupted or apathetic. In short, there are not enough red cards..

Life / Will Poland ever be multicultural like Sweden, Germany or France? [283]

Quite. Often the opposite even.

There is a big difference between capitalism practised in social democratic countries and capitalism practised elsewhere. Janet Daley, the telegraph columnist puts it quite succinctly.

"Ultimately, I think, the West has cracked it: the combination of free market economics and liberal democratic government provides the optimum solution in human social organisation. It promotes almost everything that improves the quality of life and makes progress possible: initiative, self-determination, resourcefulness, talent and individual moral responsibility. The vices that it permits are the price of liberty and we have learned to live with that. Perhaps most important, it relies on reason without which all manner of evil can triumph. In the end, it must be unbeatable as, at least so far, it has been. There may be cause for anxiety but probably not despair. "

Facebook profile is full of flowers, kittens.. supporting the Democrat Party, supporting anti-racism initiatives and basically the opposite of what he spews on here.

Wow! Is this true? Holy Sh*t. That is incredible. He really must be a disturbed, self hating individual to have two personalities like that. Amazing. He actually posts anti-racist stuff to try and maintain a 'respectable' online persona to his few friends and family (that don't speak to him IRL) and yet here he posts the opposite. Whilst some mass migration of foreign cultures arguments are valid and persuasive in novi's case they are hyperbolic, extremely bigoted and off the wall. I agree it has something to do with his psychology, of a frustrated and unsuccessful life and a deep insecurity and self-hatred. Contrarianism regarding multiculturalism is useful in some cases but only when combined with a deep intelligence (Douglas Murray for example) but that is something that novi obviously lacks.
