After the Senate rejected PiS plan to pour nearly 2 billion złoty into TVP – PiS’ propaganda machine, the bill came back to Sejm, the lower chamber of parliament.

– Did you hear that Czechs appointed the new minister of fishing and maritime industry? – What? Why? They are a landlocked country, they don’t have access to the sea! – Well, Poland has the Ministry of Justice and nobody seems for that to be any problem… This is a joke that I saw a […]

Meanwhile in Cuckooland 104

Poland is really struggling in the war for the survival of civilisation. Everyone is against us. Forget Germans and Russians, our biggest enemies. Today even kind Czechs are after us, illegally dumping their waste in our country. EU is useless and there is no chance, that that bunch of leftist puffs is going to help […]

Meanwhile in Cuckooland 101

And so we had Easter, full of ancient traditions. Families across the country went to the churches to have baskets of food blessed by the priests. Since Jarosław Kaczyński is single, the honour of carrying the basket went to his bodyguard. In Pruchnik, locals resurrected an ancient tradition of punishing the Judas for his sins. […]

Yet again Jurek Owsiak’s charity action Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy proved to be well rooted in the hearts of Poles.

If there is one thing that PiS does well, it has to be chopping trees down. If they want to do it, they don’t take chances, that some eco-protesters will disrupt the work. There was no place for the delay, as this is the election year, and they have to at least pretend that they […]

Last week people of Cuckooland were talking about a few major events. The first of it was Andrzej Duda visiting Donald Trump in the White House.

The funny slogan “Let’s save Sweden for Swedes” popularised by Polish migrants in Sweden, who were encouraging other Poles to vote for radical anti-immigrant right, was not enough for them to follow the footsteps of their forefathers. Polish army under the king Jan III Sobieski by going in succour to Austrians saved Viena from Ottoman […]
