So are we still in lock-down? Or is that a normal life now?

Posted on 2 March 2021by Tomasz Oryński

We just entered March 2021. If you look even at my blog from year ago, I published several texts related to pandemics last March (see here). We all remember panic buy of pasta and hoarding bog rolls or speculation on the soap and hand sanitizer. Then the lockdown came and I remember how, along with […]

Why driving tests aren’t considered key service in Britain?

Posted on 16 February 202116 February 2021by Tomasz Oryński

For years, my partner did not felt too much pressure to have her driving license done. She was happy to commute by public transport, and when we were going somewhere together I was driving and I never complained about it. It was only after I was unable to drive for the longer period of time […]

FACT CHECK: Are Eastern European truck drivers paid per km driven?

Posted on 5 December 2020by Tomasz Oryński

A frustration, when some stupid myth circulates in Britain over and over and no amount of proof or clarifications would convince people that the truth is different. Well, we are witnessing yet another instance of that.  With the Brexit disaster […]

FACT CHECK: Is COVID pandemics a fake, and are Dutch doctors about to sue their government for it?

Posted on 19 October 202021 October 2020by Tomasz Oryński

A quick blog entry, as one of my conspiracy-theory prone friend has sent me a movie clip and asked what I think about it. As usual, I decided to make a quick research, and it turned out pretty quickly, that I can say something about it. So since I wasted 15 minutes for it, let […]

I was outside today. Britain is simply asking for it.

Posted on 27 March 202027 March 2020by Tomasz Oryński

I ventured outside today for the first time in two weeks (I’ve been quarantined). I have been to the Polish shop, pharmacy, the supermarket and to drop some groceries to my friend, who’s under quarantine. I saw all those memes about the city being abandoned, I expected to have an “I am Legend” style experience. […]

U MAD, PEOPLE?

Posted on 16 March 202016 March 2020by Tomasz Oryński

As some of you might know, I work part time as a lorry driver. There is no wash basin in the cab, so if you want to be sure that you can always clean your hand, you need to carry a hand sanitizer with you. I have it always on me, but about a week […]

Some people actually do have plan for leaving the EU

Posted on 19 May 2019by Tomasz Oryński

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. And so when I was browsing what the extreme right has to offer for the oncoming EU elections, I […]

The Gospel according to Polish right

Posted on 11 October 201818 October 2018by Tomasz Oryński

Krzysztof Bosak, one of the leaders of Polish radical right, goes to the church every Sunday, as the true Pole and Catholic should do. But he is not just a passive listener of the summons – he takes it on himself as well to spread the Gospel, for example on Twitter. But when one filters […]
