Travel / Road traffic - Emergency lane use [23]

Idealistic policy

Practical policy. Its impact is small, it costs nothing, it helps to ease ongestion and it rewards users of greener transport.

I don't think any British government over the last 20 (at least) years has done that

Sadly, we've had 14 years of Tory hell. There's a lot of libertarian fantasy that needs repairing.

There's a good system there that some cities have introduced to reduce congestion; on certain roads, a lane is reserved for cars with two or more people in. That works, however the trend towards working at home may change that.

turning the population into medieval peasants

Why would we do that? Did medieval peasants have electric cars and first class publicly owned public transport?

good policy.

Giving an incentive for clean cars and taking some traffic off the ordinary lane is a good policy.

Love / Polish - Pakistani relationship. How it works in reality? Are Pakistanis a good men? [85]

How was custody granted to her dirtball

That suggests a serious issue with the mother who isn't mentioned much and has a right to privacy.

She should never have slipped through the net however that's what happens when you have hardly any Social Workers or Educational Welfare Officers just so the already wealthy can get a tax break and be even wealthier.

That and a family who have a lot to conceal and are good at concealing things.

Not the biggest polluters, China,India and USA,

They don't, but clean quiet traffic in Europe is a good aim.

And the UK is currently responsible for less than 1% of global pollution.......this is pure insanity.

There's a lot of emotion in it, however in the UK we could cut down on a lot of waste and improve transport.

Why only electric cars?

Why not?

If any car could use it, then it wouldn't be a bus lane.

I'd imagine it's a temporary measure since when most/all cars are electric, there would be too many and of course bus lanes are more important.

it's discriminatory against non-EV car owners.

It's not; it's an incentive for good habits.

USA, Canada / Will Americans flee from the US to Poland? [186]

Thing is, it will be people like Musk who will "save" the world....you know?

Or destroy it. And the moon too, if he wa able to.

Yes, Canada has a lot to offer them.

More than where they live.

You need to either take more medication or less.

Food / Polish cookbook - down to earth hearty Polish cuisine [33]

Jerusalem artichoke, scorzonera, cardoons, salsify or kale

All very British too. Of course the climate is similar and different; we both have those, you have things like pumpkins and gherkins and we have more green veg.

Plus taste/tradition. You have Hamburg Parsley (pietruszka, the root) but almost no parsnips, we have parsnips but almost no Hamburg Parsley.

Cardoons are rare now and could do with a revival.

Salsify and scorzonera are fiddly and not as good as carrots.

Travel / About cars, electric and combustion in Poland. [159]

our industry does not make them

It doesn't make smartphones either buy every cùnt's got one.

Until someth8 g greener supersedes it, electric cars are here for the foreseeable and in a few years time, the old ones will be museum pieces.

Your 'question' is pointless since you very well know that the vaccine in question has been superseded by a newer one.

That's how medicine works, unless your wife's syphillis is still being treated by Salvarsan and Mercury ointment.

A meaningless post from you.

The vaccine is a vaccine and new ones are ding developed all the time. The ones I had were different each time as doubtless were the ones you had.

Now back in your box, troll.

Britian quit administering them at one point in time if I am not mistaken.

The U.K. has a current programme so you are mistaken. Vaccines save lives, and the whole point of universal healthcare is that pharmaceutical companies do what we want not the other way round.

Back under your rock, you piece of odpada medyczna.

everything is to serve you and make you acheieve happiness.

Yes, provided the you is a plural.

program

All immunisation programmes in Europe have been a success. It is one of humanity's greatest achievements and one which has extended people's lifespans and made the community healthier.

Stick to things on your own level like roadkill, duelling banjos and child abusing lodgers.

As you were told, the immunisation programme has been a success in Europe. Vaccination as a whole and universal healthcare are among the greatest achievements of our species.

Since you know nothing about Europe other than what you've read online, you should know your place and stick to things on your own level, like obesity and violence to women.

Mine was a superstar.

Hard to know why anyone would need one for 'protection' unless they live in a highly dangerous place in which case any assailant would just shoot it.

Lots of little incidents, nothing major.

They handled it all fairly well by all accounts.

Paris

A long long tradition off violent public protest there, with riots planned long in advance so people can book their holidays on those dates.

the millions who died

They didn't.

I got the vaccine and boost like couple times, never got covid or even close

Quite. Some of these characters (like the one above) believe they 'know' more than the people responsible for Public Health, and in any case, what they 'know' comes solely from the internet.

I've kept up to date with the boosters and have not knowingly had Covid.
