And this right here, ladies and gents puts paid to the PRL, one party state malarkey. You should have embelished your story to give your angle some cred. If PiS = PRL you boss would have been pressured to fire you, tax dept on your case, random pull over by the police etc. instead nothing! prob one of the above would have happened in the 2000s with PO and oligarch mates in charge. or u really pissed them off u would have joined the serial suicide club.

UK, Ireland / Best Digital Banks in Poland (main account is in the UK) [12]

so you are saying jon your bank charges you 9.50 to put your money from worldfirst account, sounds like a scam? because transferwise gives you a PLN account unlike worldfirst its an intra country transfer with a very small fee . to the OP i don't know about the u.k but in australia many bank accounts here have a no currency conversion fee and a no international atm fee. If you are only here for a few months it could be just as easy having a u.k account/card with those features and just using the mastercard currency rate (better than visa) to do the pln-pound conversions when you pay for stuff.

UK, Ireland / Best Digital Banks in Poland (main account is in the UK) [12]

yes transferwise add a .05 percent fee to the spot rate true, ill take your word for it that worldfirst does not do this but if its the spot rate how do they make money? the innovative element with transferwise is one gets a virtual bank account in 5 or so countries, (including poland) meaning that other people can send you money around the world , instead of using ripoff paypal or Western Union. . ie you have someone in the germany that wants to send you euros they just transfer it to your euro account and then you chuck into your polish transferwise acount then onto a real polish bank account or use the debit card. its complicated but brilliant. the founder was one of the original developers of skype so i reckon theyre cool

considering you were the one that had intimate knowledge of far-left/anarchist squats in warsaw and gave me the second degree when i said i visited one, i now surmise you are not in fact a PO supporter but really a SLD/Razem/Etc supporter but have not cottoned on to the fact the concept of total oppositon is over. poor delph always two steps and two thoughts behind.

the idea of Polish people accepting a one party state again is as ludicrous as the idea of Scotish people being competent enough to manage an independent country. When PiS lose popular support theyll be voted out, unf for you its another 4 years at least to grind and nash your teeth all u PO people can say is ughh ahh totalitiarnism! just today the german court gave the ECB and ECJ the middle finger, looks like it's o.k in a democracy! don't worry zandberg will grow up one day and become a jewish populist.

UK, Ireland / Best Digital Banks in Poland (main account is in the UK) [12]

depends wether you want to set up a real bank account or the 'digital' ones. if the latter suggest you go with transferwise. gives you a virtual polish bank a/c and a debit card. prob sign up with your u.k details as they are based there. For a real bank account depends on your needs but nest bank is the best for fee free.

the beuty of transferwise is that it will give you the spot rate for foreign currency conversation and not the sometimes dodgy bank rate.

Its called internet provocation to make a point. And that you communist apologists need to be scared just like after Smolensk when the other side had to go through the serial suicides.


Really? who owns all the toll highways? who owns the media companies? who was behind amber gold and the plot to bankrupt LOT? Have you no knowledge of the economic gangster privatisation? the warsaw police chief that was murdered in the 90s when he was on the brink of smashing the układ? the FOZZ affair, mafia paliwowa, WSI scandals, numerous assasinations of politicians. Just cause the wealth been passed on the the children and its peacefull because PiS is in power does not mean the crimes of the post communism do not need to be avenged.

No I mean an actual Kristallnacht against PO clique under the cover of the virus. ie. summary exectutions and appropriation of wealth. Especially the SB/UB supported oligarchs and their children who have now inherited the wealth. PO politicians are usefull idiots and maybe should just be jailed for now . Under the fog of war (the virus) EU will not be able to do much.

News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2223]

That would be good, Hopefully this crisis will be a good justification for a Kristallnacht against PO and its post communist oligarch allies. Something about mandatory quarantine and death from the virus should suffice and not cause too much of an outrage if the information is controlled appropriatly. Renationalisation of their wealth might be trickier, but with the EU Commision in the throws of the pandemic and upcoming financial collapse it should be possible.

Well when i heard a Konfederacja guy quoting heritage foundation reports during polsat debate i dion't think there is much difference. Tell me what benefit to poland getting rid of income tax, getting rid of goverment hospitals pensions, child support, subsidised transport will be? apart from creating a new feudal system? Libeterians are just as idealistic as socialists, and just as naive.

News / Poland Parliamentary Elections 2019 [93]

Just because PiS was a 3 percentage points below the most optmistic sondaz before the election, well it does not take away from the fact that this is a stunning victory, with the highest percentage for a party in thirty years, and being able to have a outright majority in the sejm two elections in a row is unprecendentd. the radical paced changes to the country and its post communist elite will continue. just look at tomek lis wailings in newsweek. we have via carpathia, via baltica, cpk and other massive investments coming up, all will be controlled by PiS friendly companies. Hopefully Schetyna will cling on, and futther lead PO gangsters to electoral abyss The new sejm will be more dynamic and intersting with Konfederacja and SLD attacking each other, framing PiS as a centrist party. The EU and IIIRP oligarchs will now have to come around and accept Polands Pis. The days of total opposition are over. Polish people won and the expats will have to accept it.

News / Poland Parliamentary Elections 2019 [93]

and any ammendements made by senat can be rejected by sejm. all the senate can do is delay. PiS will play on their electoral mandate and make the opposition clowns look bad. SLD and PSL will support PiS social policies. Not much has changed.

Per the International Monetary Fund (2019 estimates)[1]
RankCountry/TerritoryGDP
(US$million)
21 Poland593,295
22 Sweden547,123
23 Belgium531,813


Uk Child Benefits Payment.
Eldest or only child £20.70 Weekly
Additional children £13.70 (per child) Weekly.
So for three kids in the u.K child benefits are 932.93 złoty monthly. Of course there are a myriad of unemployment, housing, disability, heating welfare payments in the UK that Poland lacks, so 500 zloty per child is an good amount to reduce poverty, increase economic consumption and growth. This helps all sectors of the economy, including yours.

You seem quite pessimistic about the polish economy and people. cheer up! we are doing great, thanks to the hardworking nature of the polish people and the goverments wise economic and social policies.

Ive lived both in england and poland in the last 10 years. I don't know what you are going on about social benefits and refusing jobs, perhaps pay your workers more then. I thought we were talking about 500+ otherwise known as child support. So lets have it on the record? you believe Poland should not offer child support payment to its citizens? It has the 21st largest economy , (ahead of sweden and belgium), the sixth highest growth rate in the world (5.8 percent) , the countries budget is in about to be in surplus. Child support payments are years overdue for a middle economy like Poland. You are spouting absolute tosh old chap.

News / How could PiS better spend billions instead of 500+ ? [275]

Its not a party issue for me but an outcome based calculations. If PO had done anything usefull during their last term maybe I would be more disposed to taking them seriously

Even the guardian admits that PiS 500+ policy has lifted hundreds of thousands of poles out of poverty and given them a sense of human dignity.

"At my school, I have seen the transformation of the 500 Plus at first-hand," says Janusiewicz. ... "Parents can afford to send their children to scout camps and extra-curricular activities. The clothes that pupils from the poorer families wear are of better quality." Voluntary donations used to be collected at the school to provide financial assistance and meals to the poorest pupils. "We closed the fund," says Janusiewicz. "It's not needed any more. Self-esteem has been restored to those people in need."

Any person who attacks these policies, that have lifted so many out of poverty, is selfish and non empathic to people less fortunate than themselves. Going further, It is rephrenesible that posters support the exact same policy in great britain as essential but for poland make spurious and futile claims of laziness and bribes, soley for ideological reasons and hatred of Poland. These people that hold this extremely hypocritical view are bigoted, xenophobic, Human Scum.

welcome to the new world pawian, the concepts of left and right have faded, and are irrelevant in poland. (though the pol-yank rednecks still apply their obsolete american definitions) and it's more about nationalists vs cosmopolitians or nation state vs globalism. Pis is puting more money into infrastructure and health etc as well as investing money so poland becomes a high wage highly skilled economy and does not get stuck in the middle country trap. ie portugal and greece. Our budget deficit situation is better than most countries in europe , our growth is 6th in world, we have sovereignity over our own currency, the global rate for borrowing money is at an all time low. This is the time to spend on infrastructure, r&D and social spending. Also people think the money will come from higher taxes. what about growth and increased productivity? If there is a recession however, I have no problem with the goverment levying Banks and other transnationals, and siezing pawians farm.

ure mad maf. pis policies are the challenge to neoliberalism poland has been waiting for. but you deflect it by calling it buying votes , lol. is salvinis and five star past proposal for univeral basic income buying votes as well? the hypocrisy is astounding from the pompats. there are many similarities between salvini , kurz and Pis. much more than the che loving zandberg, though i do admire his style. as the deutche welle headline said, 'Poland where Keynes meets Jesus.." I see the conservatives in pom land have taken a leaf out of pioneering polands book and are masively increasing infrastructure and social spendng, even promising to boost the minimum wage! imitation is the sincerest form of flattery as they say.
