Transport adventures in Poland

Of course, but now I have the impression that these checks are artificially prolonged after a Polish car thief ran over a German policeman to death. A kind of revenge.

AmaSSing. It shows that Germans did go to the dogs as the media have been suggesting it for a year or two now.

Where else would they come from when the are trying to enter Germany from the East via a bridge across the Odra? Unless the Germans take the people in first and send them back later, but that wouldn't make much sense.

As far as I know, Germany can send back those migrants who are registered in Poland to Poland until a decision is made on their asylum application in Poland.

Keep them away and Germany pure.

Germany for Germans...everybody else...out!!!

Can the country whose "Made in Germany" trademark has the highest value in the world afford such a xenophobic statement?

Perhaps once. Now Germany is an analogue country in a digital world.


Some Germans are black, brown and yellow nowadays. It's not a racial term.

When Novi wakes up he'll have a heart attack when he reads this.

Hardly, he doesn't have a heart.

We would be really grateful if you offered him your own heart. As a transplant organ, I mean.

Novichok with a new heart, oh no, I'm going to cry.

Iron`s heart. Hard to say if it will make Novi`s agenda better or worse here.

Iron is not pro-Russian.

He is, in the sense he is ready to use imperial Russians as a tool for gaining control of Poland by Polish nationalists, under Russian occupation. Just like Polish communists did in the past.
The fact that he sneers at Russians and considers them barbarians doesn`t change his readiness to collude with them when necessary. His role model, top nationalist Dmowski had similar views.

or your nonsense, why don't you write some children's stories?

For example, the sequel to Harry Potter titled "Harry potem" 🐒

How do you know I don`t?????


I use better mockery on the series when I say : Porry Hatter and look around who got the joke. Those who smile or even laugh are considered intelligent people.

16 km of traffic jam near Dresden on the motorway towards Poland today. Tomorrow is supposed to be even worse. Oh well, Easter madness. 🚗🚕🚓🚙🛻🚚🚛

You are right.It's Easter.

After the Easter it will be even worse, there will be returns from Poland and here the Germans are checking at the border, at least on the highways.

Just stay at home then and have a good time!

On Good Friday, shops in Germany are closed and in Poland they are open. Crowds of Germans will go to Poland tomorrow to do some shopping, in addition to the already large pre-holiday traffic.

Yesterday in Saxony the motorways were closed for several hours in 4 places due to accidents or due to roadworks. Tens of kilometres of traffic jams and detours and thousands of desperate drivers standing on the brink of an outburst of fury. What a day.

Did you know that Poland has the highest car density in Europe? I saw it again on Friday while driving on the autobahn from Berlin to Szczecin. Yesterday I crossed into Poland briefly, and it was raining, so traffic flowed smoothly without any checks. Neither the Polish nor the German border guards simply didn't want to leave the warm, dry vehicles they were sitting in.

I'd be delighted if (not only in Poland) it was illegal to own a private vehicle unless you have somewhere off the road to park it.

Which basically stops poorer people owning one....

Yes. Which is why the rich should be taxed more to provide first class public transport.

This, btw, should only apply to towns. Unless you're disabled or have a specific job like Social Worker or Community Nurse, you don't need a car in a big city.

Really trite statement

Ever tried bringing a 5 person weekly shop back on public transport with a toddler in tow ?

Shoved your kids out at 7.30 to walk to kindergarten in the snow and dark ?

Rushed someone to the doctor from your suburb on public transport with a couple of changes - turning a 10 minute car ride into a 40 minute trip ?

I've been in Poland for a week and the traffic is markedly heavier. However, it seems Poles are driving with more caution nowadays. Yesterday I drove about 200 km round trip and I saw many cars keeping adequate space. First time I've driven a long distance in Poland and not thought I was going to end up in a ditch or a wreck.

Many do. And now supermarkets deliver. Or get an Uber back.


Put them on the school bus.


We generally have a liquid lunch after and get an uber back.
