It's relevant to dodginess

No it isn't.

Their readership, well above average intelligence and with well above average levels of educational attainment would disagree with you.

And they're certainly quite discerning about who they turn down for a job, eh, Po...

dodgy

Like that website. Can you maybe find a credible source, or is it just insinuation?

Kosher Courier, the rag of the Soviet stooges' son who's got a blood-stained judicial murderer as a brother

Very hard to know how that weird outburst is relevant to anything.

Isn't that an Indonesian pork dish?

is currently being investigated over suspected outside funding by i.a. Russian oligarchs.

'Being investigated' by whom? Which 'Russian oligarchs'?

Are they also VIPs?

thugs

The contrast between the peaceful and dignified nature of the candlelit vigils attended by the Polish pro-democratic movement and the fascist salutes, petards and burning out TV OB vans by the ONR etc contradict your assertion,

The ONR and All-Poland Youth

It's everyone's right to be protected from such thugs. The existence of such destructive elements should not be allowed to compromise people's right to peacefully assemble.

Perhaps any bill should be sent to them.

What extra policing would be needed for a candlelit vigil by the Polish pro-democracy movement? Unless they were at risk of being attacked by Macierewicz's brownshirts, in which case they are entitled to be protected as anyone is, citizen or not, political or not.

Why penalise the taxpayer for the whims of a tiny minority

Why shouldn't the taxpayer cover the costs associated with public events?

Admit it, Po, you'd love to ban the Polish pro-democracy rallies.

News / Poland has accepted over a million Ukrainian refugees. Why does the EU keep telling propaganda about Poland? [304]

I say give her a shot of sodium pentathol and interrogate her to find out if she killed ppl.

Sodium pentathol is more useful for implanting false 'memories' than extracting hard facts about someone's experiences.

age 14 so perhaps her being raped by a buncha random bearded dudes while she was there and a few years in prison is enough

She is a child, almost certainly abused emotionally and sexually. Years of therapy are more appropriate than punishment.

rant & chant brigade

That fits the Smolenskists very well indeed.

disrupt normal life, reroute buses, require protective barriers, etc.

So you'd ban public protest against the PiS junta...

Yeah sure, JK would stage a coup to overthrow his own government!?!

Do follow the real situation, Po, rather than your own propaganda.

Thousands of people duped and manipulated by sinister outside forces

urging the violent overthrow of the government

That's actually quite funny.

One assumes you were as absent from the Polish pro-democracy protests as you were from the monthly Smolenskist grief-fest. After all, they're all after lunchtime.

News / Dodgy PRL-holdover judiciary finally reformed [420]

There's no way he could have studied anything in the PRL (the only place he studied) without making such an oath.

Yes, and in fact he studied Marxist-Leninist theory.

signs of the good change abound

The only sign of good change is that thousands of people have come out to resist the PiS junta's attempted coup.

There could be a nice surprise from 18-35 year old voters who didn't bother to turn out last time.

Yes,

They hate democracy. They want to create a new state in line with their totalitarian aims. They are absolutely transparent about this.

What about the 38 million who have a democratic system today because of the bravery of Walesa and his group....?

PiS actually hate democracy; they can only achieve their aims in its absence.

Life / What is Poland's view on obesity? How healthy, fit are Poles? [166]

overweight

The latest figures show that obesity is increasing hugely in PL, with particular concerns about the amount of sugar and starch in the diet.

In the case of males, the prevalence of Poland grew substantially from 14% to 23% in the years up to 2016 and given the 2.5% growth per year, the current figure is now likely to have exceeded 25%.

Plus, I love reading fiction, helps me relax:-)

An excellent reply. Haters gonna hate, and the funniest thing is that not one word of it is ever original; they have notyhing new to say.

I'm sure some of these internet nebbishes actually believe that people haven't heard the same crapola many times before.

History / Can anyone from Poland tell me about Auschwitz and The Ghetto? [625]

every Jew an Israeli, and every Israeli a Jew...:) Seems its just a word that people like tossing about though. Tossers.

That is a very sensible point. Some people are just haters; it's actually a neurological thing.

the people here who hate him the most were either also agents of that same regime or their parents were very high up on that same regime.

Of course. I can think of a couple.

And you, of course, know more about economics than Morawiecki

I should think that most people have a more realistic attitude to business, the cash nexus and social ownership than him.

Loud, unruly hooligan rumpus-raising may suggest instability, but the shenanagins of that lunatic fringe

Indeed, PiS behaviour as above impress noone.

Foreign investors not phased by judicial reform controversy

That's untrue. Investors are advised to avoid Poland due to political instability.

Morawiecki told a news conference

Quite.
