It cannot be stressed enough how extremely significant PiS’ actions are: we are witnessing the most important events in Polish politics since 1989 that might mean a complete rejection of the democratic mechanisms introduced by governments of Tadeusz Mazowiecki and his successors. One has to remember, that the new statute of the parliament is already […]

Why Poles in UK get frustrated.
Although it was probably no surprise to anyone that today’s „Polish strike” turned out to be total failure (on demonstration outside Westminster journalists strongly outnumbered protesters), the frustration of some Poles is a fact. Some Britons cannot really see why, after all we are free to settle in this country and are treated nicely and seen […]
On moderate progress within the limits of common sense
The Internet is full of radical activists fighting for the better future. They are trying to convince us to abandon crude oil in favour of renewable energy, to go vegan or to stop wasting food. And of course more difficult it is to introduce certain changes in real life, more of them remains in the […]
Parasites of the market.
Economy and social life in many ways reproduce phenomenons of nature. We have fight for survival, cooperation and symbiosis and survival of the fittest. So have we parasites as well. As in nature, parasites feed of the good off others, without giving anything in exchange. And I don’t want to write about thieves – as […]
A crisis-proof industry.
Although Britons complain, that their country is no longer manufacturing power as it used to be, they can still be proud of the fact, that Britain is really strong in advanced technologies. But there is one more industry that Britain leads the world. It is applied trafficconeology. In that field, Britain comes second to none. Everyone […]

But is it really needed to bother anyone else and try to force them to take actions that might result in two-speeds Europe, if […]
Surprising results of the Polish presidential elections
Not long ago, everyone expected that Bronisław Komorowski will easily secure his position for the second term in first round of the votes. As a result, leaders of the other parties did not even attempted to fight him in order to not become a face of defeat. The only exception was Janusz Palikot, but he […]
Celebrities that matter to you
I am not interested in celebrities, but recent developments in that field cannot be ignored. British media are already on full-blown diarrhea on the subject of birth of the Royal Baby. Tabloids are racing to be first to inform about such important and unheard of developments as “grandma and granddad visited hospital” or “members of […]
Who is responsible for perception of Poland?
Every time I drive trough Helensburgh I see the sign at the city limits saying „Welcome to Helensburgh – Birthplace of John Logie Baird, inventor of television”. I wonder how it is, that the world follows Anglo-American version of events. Yes, the British once ruled half of the world and their version was taught in […]
This article may save your life.
One youtube movie keeps returning to internet forums with the regularity of the comet. It’s an amateur movie shot few years ago on the British motorway M1. On this movie we can see a big DAF XF truck pushing a small car in front of it. Usually there are plenty of angry comments under that […]
