Why is the world doing nothing about the genocide happening in Gaza? Why is Israel, after murdering tens of thousands of innocent people, still able to present itself as a victim? Why is everyone complicit? Why do the big media, businesses, politicians and citizens of countries big and small still support Israel? Where are the […]
Meanwhile in Cuckooland 248
It is yet another time when I turned out to be right, but it does not bring me any joy. Donald Tusk’s party’s candidate, Rafał Trzaskowski, lost the presidential elections to his opponent, Karol Nawrocki, an “independent” candidate supported by PiS. Why did that happen, what PO makes of it and what can we expect? […]
Meanwhile in Cuckooland 247 – Poland turns right
The preliminary exit polls published just minutes ago after the first round of presidential elections surely gave some people in Poland a proper scare. As for me: being a pessimist again paid off. My prediction turned out to be correct again. Kliknij TUTAJ aby przeczytać poprzedni odcinek cyklu. Kliknij TUTAJ aby zobaczyć listę wszystkich dotychczasowych felietonów. The most stressed […]

A year and a half since Donald Tusk became prime minister of Poland, the last obstacle – as he claims – preventing him from delivering on his election promises has a chance to be removed. Andrzej Duda’s second term as president of the republic draws to an end. And with that – if the right […]
I never thought I’ll miss the time when Bill Gates was ultimate evil milionaire.
We’re living in a strange times. I recall today when 25 years ago I wrote for a student magazine “Semestr”. One day Andrzej Lepper – a controversial politician – was coming to meet students in my home town of Wrocław. When the editor asked who wanted to cover it, half of the team raised their […]
Talking Sense: Dr Richard Fitzgerald on the NHS
Like many Europeans living in the UK, we have criticised the NHS many times. It is simply not as great as British people tend to think. Why is that? Why is it so bad? And why do British people think it is not? It was time to bring an expert to give us some professional […]

The year 2024 is nearly over. I am not writing as much of my Absurdistan columns because, frankly speaking, Polish politics got really boring and predictable now, at least for the people who, like me, didn’t expect too much from Donald Tusk’s led coalition. But as some of the readers reached out to me to […]
Meanwhile in Cuckooland 244
It has been a year since the 2023 elections, which were deemed by many to be the final battle to save democracy in Poland. While PiS had been removed from power though, things are not going as well as some expected, and many Poles are disappointed with the style of government presented by Donald Tusk. […]

In his own words, Brit who became German […]
Elon Musk’s new invention is utterly stupid. As usual.
I am watching a movie clip about Elon Musk’s Tesla Cyber cab and I am going to tell you why it is a completely stupid vehicle. This guy just don’t understand how vehicles that are not toys should be designed. Yeah, here we go again, I just had a Deja Vu moment: I am […]
