Please show me one credible claim from a bank maybe? Y

I don't see why tradingeconomics is not credible but here you go.
Dated 21st Sept "Goldman Sachs has raised Poland's 2022 inflation forecast from 3 percent to 3.7 percent," Thats a nice drop of two percent from now so quit your the sky is falling drug induced paranoia ;) .

I'm not saying the inflation forecast will be peachy as that curve in the above link , but the consensus is that inflation will be on a downward trend from early 2022. Please provide proof of your wild claims.

. That EU stimulus money better come fast

Won't that just contribute to the inflation you are so concerned about? lolzo make up your mind

and economic slow downs.

What economic slowdown? . Look put down the straw o.k? You've had too much again.
Sept 2021 Update "FocusEconomics analysts see the economy growing 5.0% in 2021, which is up 0.2 percentage points from last month's estimate, and 5.0% in 2022." Look at the inflation forecast for poland in 2022 here tradingeconomics.com/poland/inflation-cpi

How does it balance out ?

It balances out that the .2 .3 higher inflation is offset by the higher growth (including wage growth) , so that makes us no better or worse than other european countries who have a tiny bit lower inflation. learn to read english at least as polish is probably too big a goal.

Taxes are increasing

Taxes are decreasing drastically next year thanks to polish deal and you know it. Stop lying.

It's quite tiresome to

Another whingeing yank.. yawn. If you are not doing well you're taxes will decrease. If you make more than 12k a month then you have nothing to whinge about that you are not doing well. Oh wait did you move to Poland thinking you would have the easy life and live like a king surrounded by cocaine, lambos and escorts?

So why is it the highest in Poland???

by .2 or .3 percentage points, how does that miniscule percentage affect you? Also our economy is growing faster than other countries in europe so it balances out.

BS. It will be even higher.

Post proof of your wild claims. NBP and international organisations are saying it will fall early next year.

Don't be silly. Inflation is similar all over Europe, to do with world wide stimulus, and is forecast to fall next year.

No party stays in office forever.

2027 is o.k by me. A fair amount of Dobra Zmiana will have been achieved by then. Massive rail infrastructure thanks to CPK just one small example. And enough time for the total opposition to wise up and truly believe in ditching neo-liberalism.

Of course but one will need to compare CDU 2021 policy and SPD 2022/2023 policy..

No gov who isn't suicidal will "expand refugee rights".....

Come on., the membership and governing council of SPD is quite left. Of course they will expand family reunification and have a softer policy towards refugees/illegals than CDU.. This aint Denmark.

Toxic.

the only rebel in parliament, and not playing the party or ideological games but truly is there to change poland for the better I thought you would appreciate that, but then again you were probably a supporter of militant in liverpool circa 85 so you are all for party and ideological games.

They'll not be in opposition for long...

Weren't you saying that the last election , and the one before that etc ;) kinda like labour supporters in the u.k ;)

if Germany decided to follow to the letter the UN refugee rules and refused to take any

Your point is moot and fantasy, as Germany has just democratically voted for a coalition of parties that will expand refugee rights, especially with massive family reunifications in the future.

of course the core demographic of PiS voters are the rural elderly.

Yes there is a chance for converting you yet, for the cause of agrarian socialism that PiS have adopted. . If kukiz convinces kaczynski to introduce civil unions then there is some hope for you to turn away from the evils of the total opposition. it is a small chance but possible for PiS to tack towards the center socially before the next election. (at least on that issue)

You didn't respond, is it 15-25 years then? ;) If someone says you look 35 and they are being polite it's usually 10-15 years.

you're still quite young,

why thank you, though i take it you are only 5-15 years older? which is also quite young ;) i look forward to living my 40s in a carefree and responsible manner. There is always strelecz and friends who have OD to look to as an example of what not to do.

to an old man originally from England who'd been in Poland

Of course due to the cost of living that was quite possible, but unless one was granted refugee status or was given a visa by the goverment as a academic or highly educated worker, was pretty hard to survive in the west emigrating from a communist country.

And of course you had to ask Dr Google who Moczar was.

Actually I didn't , and I'm a lot older than you think. I was born during the winter of a hundred years in poland. Hey you can google that! So jog on chippy tits.

They rarely moan about Moczar in the same way

There is a big difference between 1956-1968 and 1981-1992. Are you capable of making an educated guess why one would be fresher in the memory?

there was a lot of toing and froing between the WWII Polish diaspora and family/friends in Poland itself.

Stop trying to cover for your fellow commie, ziemo himself wrote that the family where he was boarding at, to study at university in england, were strangers.

Exactly.

So we have gone from it's all lies to who cares? lolzo.
I must say, for someone who is interested in history, and ziemo too for that matter. your attitude of disinterst is very curious,as it only is in relation to one paticular period regarding one paticular ideology. If someone were to bring up the historical crimes and betrayals of the british empire or christianity one would not be able to shut you up. hypocrisy much?

no one, even the guys from PiS, cares tbh.

Hey dimwit, the government just put up a monument to Olszewski and had a big ceremony. You may want to forget what side your family were on and their betrayal of poland but some of us who are interested in modern history as it shapes the present. Yes PiS is also changing the present for the better much to you and other post communists impotent fury. long may it last.

@ziemowit
Tell us how did your family could afford to send you to england to study and pay for your room and board during communist times? Could it be they are part of the communist elite in those times of which you are now telling us ' it's old news, no one cares forget about it! ' Talk about a vested interest!

she was told about/shown PRL files

By who? Michnik? where are these files? I have never heard of them. Instead we have the bolek teczka that walesa brought down the Olszewski government to stop being unveiled. If they were fake you think he would be the first to release them. A multitude of ex comrades and friends who claim he was a traitor, his actions in always simping to the communist government and calling off strikes against the majority of solidarity, leszek millers leaked comments that the navy dropped him off at the gdansk strike, a multitude of historians documenting evidence that he was a traitor, his ignoring the workers 84-89 and then being put forward by the communist authorities as the 'head' of solidarity, his actions in 92 in opposing NATO and wanting the Russian bases to be free trade zones under Russian sovereignty. Additional documentation confirming the Bolek files released by Kiszczaks widow last few years. A court telling walesa to apologise to the historian who wrote a book about his traitorous activity. It's important to note he was under military intelligence auspice and not SB which is why there is no documentation to his treason in the 80s. As Biden would say Come on man!

I forgot to mention his pathetic grovelling nature to jaruzelski which was captured on camera , getting drunk with the communists during the round table, etc etc. When he was interviewed by SB in the 79 or 80, he haughtily told the agents I will convey this approach to where it needs to go. Many historians think he was referring to Military Intelligence as he was their agent.

And even if some dept in SB had that stated aim about Walesa, they would not have known he had been transferred to the military. And who held the power in poland during and post marital law, definitely not the civil intelligence side, look how SB agents took the fall for the murder of Popiełuszko.

she claimed that PRL records about spread rumors of Wałęsa working with the SB to sow disagreement

Can you rephrase that so it makes sense?

and claimed that Wałęsa should be shot in the head

Thats exactly what should happen to traitors who betray their friends in a revolutionary movement, especially during martial law.

Many of the fossils who were around in the PRL and still alive denigrate Wałęsa to try to make their own insignificance

Anna Walentynowicz said Walesa was a traitor in his dealings in the 70s and 80s. History will judge her as the true spirit of solidarity and standing up to communism. Are you going to call her insignificant you filthy post communist booster? ? Walesa just lost a three year court case and has to apologise to the historian who wrote a book about him being a SB informant. And he has to leave that apology on his social media for 30 days.

Sometimes it takes time to find out some historical details and put two and two together like his old friends who he betrayed did and came forward. You know how it took you a few years to link how the faucets in your house were mysteriously leaking every couple of days to your wife being banged by half the polish plumbers union? Same principle.

Which one? The one written by his wife?

Yes it was that one I believe, though of course did not make the news for obvious reasons but the book contained details of his wife beating.
