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 […]
Meanwhile in Cuckooland 245
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 […]

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. […]

Elon Musk’s new invention is utterly stupid. As usual.

As I was preparing for my Finnish test and then had a month long holidays, I decided to give myself a break from the news and the social media (for the most part). But this time it was different – this time I completely fell out of the loop. Why? Related posts: Meanwhile in Cuckooland […]
On the 8th anniversary of Brexit referendum.
The Brexit referendum happened 8 years ago. I remember that I didn’t believe right to the end that Britain can be stupid enough to do it to itself. What else do I remember about that? I remember the next morning we were driving our car to work (we worked together in one office back then). […]
Leftist Drivel on Finnish politics.
Our listeners were asking us about Finnish politics. We know nothing about Finnish politics, so we invited a true Finn to explain it to us.

“Live by the sword, die by the sword”. This old proverb can describe well how PiS’ rein is going to end. As Donald Tusk’s government is not wasting any time in his attempt to bring PiS politicians and activists to justice, one of the investigations is dealing with the embezzlement of the Justice Funds money.

Review of “The King of Bullshit News?” by Michael Leidig
Some of my long-time readers might be familiar with the campaign, which involved Gazetae.com, a portal I used to be a deputy editor of, in which we were trying to tackle misinformation and deliberate slandering of Eastern Europe by the British media. One of the most famous cases was a story published by Daily Mail, […]
