That song is a classic.


That's the whole mentality of those people, then and among the PiS junta now. Remember Ziobro and the affair of the laptops?

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


The one who gave a political speech on behalf of PiS in the UK certainly should.


Poland has one of the highest proportions of registered business to population in the world.

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

$2.8 billion is indeed huge. I suspect this one will run and run.

It isn't the first time there have been scandals in Poland over helicopter purchases/sales. As I recall, some figures now in PiS were making trouble over nothing for the usual reason - a lack of TKM.

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


Indeed. All there is are insinuations from someone who has very little room to talk.

If he thinks a judge is corrupt, let him report that as a crime.


How would it matter who owns a business here. Poles are free to own capital abroad.

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


So you're in favour of banning PiS? Shame on you.


Didn't that happen before, in Germany...

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


You can count to 38 million?


That's actually a huge scandal. And it isn't as if the scandals surrounding him started recently either.

Most people here certainly don't trust Mr Laptop.

Interesting news today, that the number of Poles desperate to escape the PiS junta and move to the UK has increased.

It's not a criminal organisation. It's the main opposition party.


And she hasn't been arrested - nor does she have immunity against arrest. I don't trust any of Ziobro's political show trials either. Nor does anyone.

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


You favour banning political parties? The PiS junta would probably love the idea, however it ain't going to happen., and rightly so. That would be a return to the totalitarianism that the PiS flappers crave.


He's not a PO or KOD member and in any case, is innocent unless proven guilty. And no 'human trafficking', either.


No reason to, since no crime occurred. Anyway, she doesn't have immunity from prosecution, so if there was a case against her (which there isn't) the prosecutors could try her in a court of law.

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


The article I read (not that one) seemed to discreetly signal that it was him.


Much as I dislike the boring and right-wing HG-W, I strongly doubt she's a "Bolshevik trash ho' or involved in 'long criminal activities'.

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


Never. The conservative Gugała was a former ambassador certainly, but not associated with PO, in fact his time as a diplomat was before either PO or PiS existed.

And of course innocent until or unless proven guilty.

None of those are the best sites. Gumtree is a better bet.

A growing figure, and that is key to it. One is growing and the other falling. Good change on the way.


The tax office has long gone after Polish-owned businesses who register abroad. Recently they've concentrated on businesses owned by foreign citizens and not always in a positive way, including trying to penalise airlines who fly from Poland and buy their airline food abroad, as most do.

Great news that in the latest opinion poll for the next presidential election, Tusk is ahead of Duda once more. Good change on the way!

Given that he's currently the most popular politician in Poland and one of the world's greatest living Poles, after Lech Wałęsa and Adam Michnik, I seriously doubt the veracity of your comment.

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


Behind bullet proof glass in the back of the presidential limousine, maybe. Not least because he'd certainly win if there was an election today, and this is only likely to change even more in his favour.


He knows that anything Andy everything that comes out when he opens his mouth lowers his support.

Of working for the clown Macierewicz, the worst defence minister Poland has ever had? No thanks.

When Macierewicz appears next to te one with the hair, they always remind me of Dr. Who and his assistant, Adric.


Yet another issue that will doubtless come out after the election.

Sandy, you'd do better with Gumtree Katowice than asking a guest poster from two years ago.

Don't be silly Po.

The end of the beginning for the PiS junta was a year ago; the beginning of the end was a few months ago. Now with condemnation from the United Nations (led by America even) and looming sanctions within Europe, we're now well into the endgame.

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

Some of the US Permanent Delegate Sheila Leonard's words at the United Nations today:

"We remain deeply concerned about judicial independence, especially regarding Poland's Constitutional Tribunal. We urge the government to fully respect principles of judicial independence, checks and balances, and the separation of powers between branches of government. The Polish government should publish and implement Tribunal decisions.....We are also concerned government officials do not publicly and regularly condemn serious and specific incidents of hate speech and hostile acts against minorities when they occur."

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


This ones attracting a lot of negative publicity, especially as the current military helicopter fleet is getting towards the end of its working life.

Basically whenever things are looking bad for the PiS junta, for example the helicopter vs. PiS VIP plane issue, or today's condemnation of Poland at the United Nations, he tries to distract from that. It doesn't work.

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


Yet the PiS junta tried.

I suspect the United Nations condemnation of the junta will be talked about a lot here in Poland tomorrow.

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


Like the PiS junta. Roundly criticised today in the United Nations for various of their abuses. However much you try and fail to distract from that.

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

For Poland to be criticised so strongly (including by Trump's America!) is a very clear indication of just how badly things are going for the PiS junta.

those in the last three polls who put them above the PiS junta.

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


They were and are respected. And wil return as soon as the voters get the chance to vote out the clowns.


Remember job creation is important, I-S. Perhaps not for the PiS junta, but important for the country.

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

Except, you're talking about a respected government being voted out due to low turnout and replaced by an incompetent and anti-democratic junta who will be out at the next election.

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


Not one of those things has the slightest bit to do with the PiS junta. Nothing.
