Poland is really struggling in the war for the survival of civilisation. Everyone is against us. Forget Germans and Russians, our biggest enemies. Today even kind Czechs are after us, illegally dumping their waste in our country. EU is useless and there is no chance, that that bunch of leftist puffs is going to help […]

How time flies! It’s mid-July already! It’s July already?!?! pic.twitter.com/pm7fDC7mNS — Calvin and Hobbes (@Calvinn_Hobbes) 1 lipca 2018 And even if there is nothing major happening in Polish politics, after the dust from European Elections settled down, it does not mean, that there weren’t any significant events taking place.

Some people actually do have plan for leaving the EU
As I am trying whenever possible to make my own mind on the various political topics, I try avoid enclosing myself in my social bubble and aim to follow closely the whole political spectrum in Poland.

Some say that this might become an important point for the future of Polish politics, that after that nothing can be the same.

“Now or never” – says the cover of the pro-PiS magazine “Sieci” featuring Patryk Jaki. Apparently will be never, as it is definitely not now, as Jaki lost in Warsaw (according to forecasts and exit polls, Rafał Trzaskowski of PO became mayor of Warsaw in the first round).

Poland never had any real colonies. Not in the Western understanding at least, as all we had was just a couple of small trading outpost, that we managed to hold on to for a few years (one in today’s Gambia, one in today’s Trinidad and Tobago).
