Poland, just like the rest of Europe, is still battling with COVID-19. And it’s all for nothing, as revealed by Justyna Socha, the assistant of one of the right-wing MP and leader of Polish pro-disease movement (I am calling it pro-disease movement, as she doesn’t like to be called anti-vaxxer). According to her, it is […]

Luckily, there is plenty of streaming services to choose from, including katoflix.pl, the Polish answer to Netflix that streams only Catholic materials.

Food for thought for my British friends
Tomorrow’s Yorkshire Post cartoon. Magnifico @GraemeBandeira pic.twitter.com/Q6SVWRlpj1 — Jack Blanchard (@Jack_Blanchard_) March 13, 2020 I saw this cartoon on Twitter. It depicts an NHS worker holding the whole coronavirus planet on her shoulder. I thought to myself “well, just another case of British megalomania, what else is new” and carried as usual. But today I have […]
U MAD, PEOPLE?
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 […]
