The only thing I noticed in Polish is slave labour posters... And as we all know the number of Poles is quite high.

Doesn't that depend on the giver? Hiw well they know the recipient? I've usually received gifts that I really liked.
And while I agree to a certain extend with your opinion- I prefer to look at it from different perspective- not as a reason to pretend you care but an excuse to show someone you care.
presents that no one actually needs or wants.

That poll was done after Brexit referendum. And for now Brits are doing everything to show how not to do it.
They think it might be but it's just a prediction and at the same time prefer the security of staying in the EU.
Times are changing after the Brits have set a new trend.....good luck

People say - right now we stay in the EU. However in the future it would be better for Poland to leave the EU.

For a part of the religious side of society it is.
There is also the more secular one- most pubs open up at the same time and can't complain about attendance.
Both are called pasterka but one obviously in a joking manner.

But instead of getting to know his case and what happened there you jumped on PO straight away as if that was any argument in Banas case.
I wonder if there ever comes a time when we as a society will be able to actually judge such actions on merit and leaving behind our political preferences

I wonder if it's the result of polarisation of society, protest vote or genuine resurection :)

I would like to believe it was true. After all this thread is about believing that even politicians can have human and heroic bone in their bodies
I will try and find some more examples of things like that but of course everyone is welcome to share their own examples

I read an article today about Robert Biedron pulling a driver and his 2 year old out of a burning car. While it was a surprise on its own ( I took him for a all talk no game kind of guy) I realised how rarely we focus on good deeds of politicians. So please join me in trying to find some good in those sneaky bastards :)
