Meanwhile in Cuckooland 171

Posted on 12 April 202119 April 2021by Tomasz Oryński

Yet another success of the Polish government! Today, on Monday the 12th, Prime Morawiecki arrived in Katowice to open the newly built roundabout and the tunnel. He made a speech about how much cash his government is spending on building local roads. Local people were astonished, but not with the numbers he was mentioning. On […]

Meanwhile in Cuckooland 164

Posted on 22 February 202122 February 2021by Tomasz Oryński

It seems that Mateusz Morawiecki is a bit washed down and his replacement is being prepared. Therefore Orlen CEO and trusted man of Kaczyński, Daniel Obajtek was (I guess, ironically, as this is the man responsible for taking over independent local media) named “Man of Freedom 2020” by the pro-PiS weekly “Sieci”. In a cringe-worthy […]

Meanwhile in Cuckooland 160

Posted on 25 January 20212 February 2021by Tomasz Oryński

It seems that the new recurring theme of this series will be „old communist jokes that work again in PiS Poland”. Today’s one is the one about Lenin, who was disturbed by a child while shaving himself. He got angry and smacked the child in the head – and that shows us how good man […]

That moment, when you need to pee while travelling on the British motorway…

Posted on 18 January 202119 January 2021by Tomasz Oryński

When you travel motorways in all over Europe, there is a car park on a regular basis – usually every 10 kilometres or so from each other. In many cases, even the small ones, apart from a few benches and tables and litter bins, will also offer you a chance to use a toilet. Apart […]

Meanwhile in Cuckooland 158

Posted on 11 January 202111 January 2021by Tomasz Oryński

There used to be an old joke about hares escaping to Poland from the Soviet Union. “Why are you running away to us?” asked Polish hares? “Because there is the new law in the Soviet Union, that every rabbit has to have its third ear cut off!” answers the Soviet one. “So what are you […]

Meanwhile in Cuckooland 154

If you need to understand how the Polish state works and what it means to run business in Poland, you need to read just this one story: a company in Jaworzno asked the council to fix potholes on the road that leads to their warehouse, as the condition of the road was so bad, that […]

Meanwhile in Cuckooland 153

My dear readers! Hold on tight, as today is a special day. While doing my research I always try to show balanced view, but usually searching for the positive things one can write about PiS is a futile task. But not this week! There is one PiS MP that one can only has a praise […]

Meanwhile in Cuckooland 152

Posted on 24 November 202025 November 2020by Tomasz Oryński

Those annoying teenagers! We need to do something with them. Look at this 14 years old encouraging people to participate in Women’s Strike on his Facebook! We should send police to his house to threaten him with up to 8 years of imprisonment! Or that Michał Rogalski, a 19-year old who was so annoyed that […]

Meanwhile in Cuckooland 151

Posted on 16 November 202016 November 2020by Tomasz Oryński

So at least for once Poland under the rule of PiS is Europe’s leader in something. Shame it’s in COVID-19, but it’s always something. Recently in Poland the number of death exceeded that of Great Britain – 548 vs 462. The number of infections is also similar (25571 vs 26860 respectively). But there is a […]

The protests in Poland are still going on. Why one might feel that they have lost momentum, it’s not that the anger has died out, although the form evolves. And to ensure, that people’s rage continues, the government/church side does everything to pour more petrol into the fire. Recently, the organizers established an advisory council […]
