The Christmas season started with a bang this winter. The bang was big and loud, and took place in the Police National Headquarters. Luckily nobody died, but the explosion caused significant damage to the building. Luckily despite there being through holes between two floors, there was no structural damage, but the cost of repair will […]

It’s terrible how Christians are discriminated against in Poland. You might remember last time I finished my column with the information about how Polish Scouts are now given choice if they want to say their oath with or without invoking God. Apparently, this is not the end of that story. See, the Pastoral Council of […]

Finally, we know what is responsible for the crisis of families and high rates of divorces in Poland: it’s bad behaviour patterns. How young people are to create stable families and avoid divorce if they are surrounded by such flawed examples. And no, I am not talking about PiS chief of (formerly) Public TV Jacek […]

As I write those words, the Internet is full of pictures of the Russian Ambassador to Poland having a bag of artificial blood smashed into his face. While most of the people cheer for the protesters and think it serves him right (his words on the Russian invasion of Ukraine angered many people), there are […]

It seems Poland has it first Savita Halappanavar. A Polish lawyer informed on her twitter that in the case mirroring the Indian’ women ordeal in Ireland, an expecting mother died after the doctors refused to perform abortion on her in critical situation. They were waiting for the fetus’ heart to stop beating on its own […]

As it was to be predicted by everyone with at least half of a brain, the Polish government’s actions at the border with Belarus (read more here) have led to tragedy. In a civilized country, the refugees would make themselves known to the Polish border guards and asked for asylum. But after being beaten and […]

Remember last summer, during the peak of the COVID epidemics, where ambulances were queuing outside hospitals, and everyone thought that it can’t get any worse? Well, we should never underestimate the PiS government. Because now, the ambulances are parked in the yard and are not helping patients at all. There is not enough crews around […]
