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, […]

Celebrities that matter to you
I am not interested in celebrities, but recent developments in that field cannot be ignored. British media are already on full-blown diarrhea on the subject of birth of the Royal Baby. Tabloids are racing to be first to inform about such important and unheard of developments as “grandma and granddad visited hospital” or “members of […]
Je suis Voltaire
Recent atrocities in Charlie Hebdo yet again shaked our sense of security and provoked discussions: some call for revisions of our relations with Islam, other – including French president François Hollande – argue, that the attackers had nothing to do with Islam. It is important that while discussing the fanaticism, one does not loose his […]
Aye people
„What now? Are you going to litter the whole neighborhood again with that crap? It is beyond belief how much paper is wasted to fulfill wet dreams of that idiot and this cow of his!” – elderly lady walking the street with her york was obviously not too happy with us blocking the pavement outside […]
Do it yourself
Recently published tapes did no good to the Polish politicians ratings. It emerged that despite in private they share views of many of their voters, they do nothing to meet their expectation.

This Empire has committed many sins – for example it allowed the population […]
How the British public is manipulated by British media
The Polish community in the UK has hardly ever a good press. Some titles seem to choosen the path of slagging Poles and spreading the myths about them as a way to improve their sales… But how true are the informations and general picture of the situation that can be made from reading such articles? […]
Stop British media blackening Eastern Europe
Once again a rubbish article about Poland was written in British press. As was shown by the Polish media, a piece in Daily Mail (here) describing allegedly drunken Santa Claus in Ustrzyki Dolne turned out to be completely fabricated. The only true element of that article were photos, published by the British paper without consent […]
You shall pay for that it is not as it could be
This text was originally published in Polish in 2013, I’ve decided to translate now – in 2021 – it as it is obviously still a very hot topic. Yet again, this time in an open letter to President Komorowski, Jewish organizations demand the return of the properties raked by Nazis (The Jerusalem Post). I don’t […]
