A Nationalist's Day out

you are obsessed with that notion you borrowed from Harry.

You lost me here?

That's because I live in Poland and can see how voters across the political spectrum are appalled by the far-right's hijacking of many historical events. You can even see it with the Warsaw Uprising commemorations - people trying to turn it into a political occasion by booing and cheering certain people.

I see it all the time. Rabid PiS supporters or worse, yet they will cheat the state just for a few extra Zloty.

I see no problem in cheering or booing certain people after all it is a public opinion.

There are not far- right in Poland

You are long enough in Poland I think is a high time for you to get a gist of what going on in this country rather than using British concepts to understand Polish circumstances

Don't tell me that you are buying that Manichean concept PiS bad, PO good.

I think you don#t understand Polish politics. I see no problem in cheering or booing certain people after all it is a public opinion

I'm still in shock that you think it's acceptable to turn memorial services into political occasions.

A figurehead for Poland's wartime resistance has criticised right-wingers who heckled ceremonies marking the 68th anniversary of the Warsaw Rising.
General Zbigniew Scibor-Rylski, the 95-year-old chairman of the Association of Warsaw Insurgents, has described the hecklers as "fanatics" in the wake of Wednesday's tributes.
In spite of veterans appeals for respectful silence during ceremonies marking the doomed 1944 insurgency against the Nazi German occupiers, two incidents marred this year's commemorations.
On both occasions, hecklers appeared to be aiming to discredit Poland's current coalition government.
The first incident took place while Prime Minister Donald Tusk laid a wreath at the Gloria Victis monument in Warsaw's Powazki Military Cemetery.
Hums and whistles broke out from a portion of the crowd as the premier laid the wreath. Moments later, right-wing opposition MP Antoni Macierewicz (Law and Justice), who is widely known for promoting conspiracy theories about the 2010 Smolensk air crash, was greeted with enthusiastic applause.
Later in the evening, shouting and whistling erupted as city and government officials joined veterans and scouts in a torch-lighting ceremony at a memorial mound devoted to the Warsaw Rising.

However, commenting on the second incident, which was initiated by a younger group, the general was more conciliatory, saying that he does not consider them to be "bad" people, but simply "young" and "misinformed."
He said he believes the hecklers came for "patriotic reasons", and that owing to this, he accepted apologies from some members of the crowd following the ceremony.

Are these some of the events that you are talking about?

Disgusting behaviour

unbelievable that Ironside and Goofy would support actions that the good General himself has criticised.

got to love the Dutch:

Why didn't they spend their money at a Polish business and support Polish business owners?

Perhaps Goofy would like to explain why a proud nationalist like himself gave his money to foreigners?

They are indeed. Disgusting behaviour, and unbelievable that Ironside and Goofy would support actions that the good General himself has criticised.

A very interesting question. Perhaps Goofy would like to explain why a proud nationalist like himself gave his money to foreigners?

As there is very few Polish establishments in Poland it is hardly feasible to go and look for one when you are only visiting.

I would think that those who are spiritual heirs of traitors and their progeny

Lets not forget who the Neo-Nazi's are heirs to.

What neo-nazi?

They act the same as Nazi's, hence the name Neo-Nazi's. I know its not something Nationalists want to be associated with, but there it is.
