News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1199]


that's the problem with PO, they a ragtag bunch of opportunists, jachira wants to do that, fancysiek wants to do the opposite, when they are in power they will not achieve anything except suck up to germany, at least PiS and Konfa have a vision and a focused conviction even.

Funny you using that as a pejorative , when you are a rightist economically. Part of that Jachira faction in PO , that wants to get rid of 500+, cut social services and have a thatcher like small governemnt.

Real Estate / Water Leak Damage in Apartment [16]


Yes , I don't know how insurance works in poland, but in australia the insurance companies have their preferred builders who will provide a quote for the job and do the work themselves. So the landlord might be afraid that if he does the work on his own, the insurance company will provide a stooge that will give a quote half the price the landlord has paid.

Real Estate / Water Leak Damage in Apartment [16]


It's a tricky one as mold can be dangerous but also seems strange to hassle the landlord when it is his property that has been destroyed. Cargo you need to give a more clear opinion on what you would do as landlord. It seems the landlord is being normal polish and not trusting insurance company until he has money in his hand. I guess the tenant could move out with no penalty if he feels the place is unsafe?

News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [996]


The hate goes deep, from the bolsheviks shutting down the soviet workers councils and murdering the anarchists to the spanish civil war, where the anarchists achieved autonomous units and localism, then the USSR funded communists took over the rebellion and murdered the anarchists once again. (and lost the civil war) It is detailed in George Orwells eyewitness book The Road to Catalonia which is one of the reasons he wrote Animal Farm.

You know the story of the new MP coming into the Brittish Parliament? His mentor points across the benches and says 'these are your opponents'. He then points to the people on his side of the benches and says 'And these are your enemies.'

If you weren't such a neo-liberal shill with virtue signalling characteristics you would know that anarchists are dead set against communism and state socialism. So pipe down and go back to dreaming about getting rid of 500+

Sick burn by Mateusz at the end. To paraphrase "today is a symbolic day in poland , in 1984 the priest Jerzy Popiełuszko was murdered today by the communist authorities. Solidarity and Fighting Solidarity of who I was a member of were fighting for freedom and democracy. And some of the people here in the parlament were on a completely different side. That is also symbolic what side they are on now and what side we are on."

That begs the question which side were you on in 84 jon since you were part of the far left unions and militant faction of labour? There is a big chance you swallowed the lie that solidarity was a cia backed plot to destroy communism in poland

Nowa Lewica at their conference voted to abolish polish passports and have a single european passport, (wow such an important issue to poles) it seems they are all set for recreating another failed utopian state.

You obviously did not listen to the speech, he expressly specified why the polish tribunal ruling was valid, said the PO judge on the ECJ stated the same in 2005 and noted many other tribunals in european countries have decreed the same thing. (supremacy of national laws when it is outside the areas covered by the lisbon treaty) He also told the caviar quaffing paralmentarians that if they want to turn Europe into a suprastate where nation-states lose their sovereignty then they have to get consent of every country and society and not just push on in arrogant conceit.

Is this what morawiecki wrote for his european law textbook? , it says certain of their provisions and if applicable. it also mentions the treaties in the preceding pragraph, therefore if there is a european judgement that is outside of the treaties it is not applicable. no one back then could have foreseen that a european court would be so politicized and so brazenly try and usurp the power of the nation state. nice try tho, back to the drawing board i guess?

good photo. I remember when i came back to poland in 92, and the Marriot/LOT building was the the only modern skyscraper on the sjyline. So much dynamism and development and wealth over the last 30 years , kinda like the london docklands.

Yes, it is still a benefit to poland, and like britain did previously we play a role in impeding it's march towards becoming a united states of europe/suprastate.


Since you mentioned Siemens and Alston , PESA sold 72 trains to Germany, but that contract went south as they were originally going to buy 400. The Poles were not thorough enough and made bad decisions. Newag also sold trains to Italy. Škoda has been selling trains and trams to Germany in large amounts for many years.

very good social analysis there maf. As for nodding/saying hello to strangers in a isolated location, i remember a big debate on this on pf years ago, with the brits taking the side that it is normal behaviour for humans, i will always do this even if the natives regard me as slightly mad or obstrusive, unless the person is an ultra or tattooed up of course.

News / Unfulfilled promises by PiS [559]


I am glad you are taking diary of notes of everything i post on this forum. Must be a lot of work. I am really living in your head rent free. :) But I understand why you are so aggressive here, If you shared your political and social views in your PiS voting village, the parents would give you a good trashing for trying to indoctrinate their children, therefore you must be meek as a lamb in the classroom and town square and are full of impotent frustration. You then take it out on the PiS supporters here. It is sad but if it helps you from having a nervous breakdown so be it :) We are here to help your neuroses.


You really have made an infantile mistake, One minute you say that getting the eu money easy and like winter being cold but in the previous breath you say PiS is leading us to polexit and russia. Baboon speak with forked tongue! Is that the incompetent way you teach your students rhetoric and debate? The parents should feather and tar you out of town i think and get a intellectual as a teacher instead of the village idiot they have now.


You previously did not want to bet upon your political views, let me educate a state employed teacher who has to grow vegetables to feed his family in the ways of civilised and refined men. A bet between gentlemen is a matter of honour and conviction, and is not to be debated or ridiculed by those who lack the conviction and will to put their money where their mouth is. Speak when you are spoken to peasant.

Everyone to the left economically of Reagan or Pinochet is a communist in your eyes mate! Now are you ready for a new bet? I will be noble and forget your previous bet proposal that Polish deal will not pass the sejm/senate, let's make it juicier.. That Poland will get the EU corona reconstruction money by mid January..

News / Unfulfilled promises by PiS [559]


It was a great speech by our wise premier. He totally demolished the opposition! I liked how he mentioned the fact that the polish constitutional tribunal has twice asserted that the polish constitution has supremacy over European law, in 2012 and in 2005, the latter by a judge who is now a member of the ECJ trying to bully Poland! Like his father he is continuing to fight the communists, this time against the traitors in PO.

Polonia / Possible Green Surge in Germany [118]

Don't be silly, break the link to the past, of totatalitiarnism and police state for the cause of equality, and call it something else if you want to have some credibility. the fifth way or social humanism are better terms for instance than the discredited ones of old. if we look at the infantile hypersensitivity, discriminatory identity politics and wanabee authorititiranism of the millienial new left it seems society will not make a better go of it if we cling to outdated ideologies.

Genealogy / Polish Gypsy Roots & Roma ancestors in their families [205]

@ironside for all those that don't, there has never been any efforts to establish a polish identity for the romani. as jon stated there are many that feel polish and your exclusionary thought process does not help. . As the example of the Tatars shows, it's very possible. The overhanded communist efforts were not about making them poles but making them part of the communist working class. I bet they feel a bit more polish and part of the community after getting 500+ hah.

Always best to put money in a digital money account like transferwise or a bank in U.k that has a card with no foreign transaction fees and then no way polish tax man will find out.

Genealogy / Polish Gypsy Roots & Roma ancestors in their families [205]


IF they are already in poland, have polish passports and there is no danger of a mass migration by other gypsies into poland then what is the problem? This approach historically worked with the Tatars who are regarded as poles and integrated, whilst still maintaining (for those who want) their religion and customs.
