Meanwhile in Cuckooland 160

Posted on 25 January 202126 January 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 159

Posted on 18 January 202118 January 2021by Tomasz Oryński

Another week, another attack on the PiS politician phone. This time it’s Marek Suski, and the hacker complained on his behalf about a woman who “sexually molested him”, publishing her sexy photos and a link to much more explicit material. This time I don’t know what would be worse – if the tweets were written […]

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 […]

So we are into the new year. It has begun with the 1873rd day of PiS rule in Poland. Over last days the government did everything to make sure, that we won’t forget that apart from other plagues, 2020 was the year in which the Polish legal system was completely demolished. From hostile takeovers of […]

Imprisoned at the border

Posted on 28 December 202028 December 2020by Tomasz Oryński

If not for a revolt of the Polish drivers in Dover, their ordeal could last even longer. “We marched onto the opposite lane of the motorway and blocked it. After negotiations with the police, we came off it, but we told them unless they start testing soon, we’re going to block it again. Only after […]

Some say, that the rule of PiS is good only for members of PiS, who can get good jobs or obtain some lucrative contract. The case of Adam Hofman proves that it’s not true. After being kicked out from PiS for committing fraud on travel cost reimbursement, he’s doing pretty well. Without having any experience […]

Critical situation of the truck drivers stranded in England

Posted on 22 December 202023 December 2020by Tomasz Oryński

The situation in Dover did not look well for a few days already. A pre-Christmas period, cumulated with the rush to stack as much imports as possible before very likely no-deal Brexit on 1st of January resulted in the unusually high amount of freight traffic going through Dover and Channel Tunnel causing unprecedented (if we […]

“As a woman, as mother, I will never understand or support the protesters. Vulgar and boorish behaviour is not making women pretty, they remind me of pack of Papuans and brainless savages, who can only beat and mindlessly have sex. It’s scary to give matches to some of them. To all of those swearing pseudo-women […]

The cardboard revolution

Posted on 13 December 202013 December 2020by Tomasz Oryński

Until recently, in Poland protesting was a domain of the older generation – with the sole exception of protest against ACTA, seen as an attack on the freedom of the internet in 2012, the average age of people going out to the streets to protests the government was probably somewhere around 45-50. With the creation […]
