Although for the few years we managed to maintain a feeling that tragedy in Syria is „someone else’s problem”, today we cannot ignore it any longer – those „someones” are already here, they are at our borders, they camp at the Slovenian borders or try to cross in leaky bathtubs across Mediterrain Sea. So […]

Why Poles in UK get frustrated.
Although it was probably no surprise to anyone that today’s „Polish strike” turned out to be total failure (on demonstration outside Westminster journalists strongly outnumbered protesters), the frustration of some Poles is a fact. Some Britons cannot really see why, after all we are free to settle in this country and are treated nicely and seen […]
Parasites of the market.
Economy and social life in many ways reproduce phenomenons of nature. We have fight for survival, cooperation and symbiosis and survival of the fittest. So have we parasites as well. As in nature, parasites feed of the good off others, without giving anything in exchange. And I don’t want to write about thieves – as […]
A crisis-proof industry.
Although Britons complain, that their country is no longer manufacturing power as it used to be, they can still be proud of the fact, that Britain is really strong in advanced technologies. But there is one more industry that Britain leads the world. It is applied trafficconeology. In that field, Britain comes second to none. Everyone […]
What is Cameron’s door canvassing around Europe really about?
David Cameron ventured onto door-canvassing trip around European capital cities. Although he claims to be all for Britain staying in EU, he demands renegotiation of the basic points of the treaty. But is it really needed to bother anyone else and try to force them to take actions that might result in two-speeds Europe, if […]
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 […]
This article may save your life.
One youtube movie keeps returning to internet forums with the regularity of the comet. It’s an amateur movie shot few years ago on the British motorway M1. On this movie we can see a big DAF XF truck pushing a small car in front of it. Usually there are plenty of angry comments under that […]
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 […]
Welcome to the real World
This article is in response to Amy Mackinnon’s article on graduate employment, ‘Never had it s good?‘ Amy Mackinnon’s recent piece on graduate unemployment provoked discussion amongst me and my Polish friends. Some said “what’s the point of publishing this, it’s nothing new”. But although it might be old story for all us Poles, it […]
