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 […]

Meanwhile in Cuckooland 157

Posted on 4 January 20214 January 2021by Tomasz Oryński

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 […]

Meanwhile in Cuckooland 156

Posted on 23 December 202023 December 2020by Tomasz Oryński

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 […]

Meanwhile in Cuckooland 155

Posted on 16 December 202022 December 2020by Tomasz Oryński

“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 […]

If you need to understand how the Polish state works and what it means to run business in Poland, you need to read just this one story: a company in Jaworzno asked the council to fix potholes on the road that leads to their warehouse, as the condition of the road was so bad, that […]

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

Posted on 5 December 2020by Tomasz Oryński

If you are an Eastern European living in Britain, you will well know that feeling. 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 […]

Meanwhile in Cuckooland 153

Posted on 2 December 20202 December 2020by Tomasz Oryński

My dear readers! Hold on tight, as today is a special day. While doing my research I always try to show balanced view, but usually searching for the positive things one can write about PiS is a futile task. But not this week! There is one PiS MP that one can only has a praise […]
