I know that after over 125 pieces of my series “Meanwhile in Cuckooland”some people might be bored with all that Polish kerfuffle. Those who still follow the series might see me and my warning about fascist/authoritarian tendencies of the Polish government as that boy who cries “wolf”, as I constantly cry how Polish democracy is in […]

Meanwhile in Cuckooland 126
Yet another record transport has arrived in Poland! But for some reason, the government has not decided to make this one into a big propaganda event, as they did with the medical transport from China last week. This time the transport came via the seas – the biggest bulk carrier in the world, Agia Trias, […]

If you believe government propaganda in TVP, Poland’s answer to Coronavirus is the best, and everyone in Europe is jealous of how well we can manage the crisis. Even Donald Trump asked us to send some of our experienced doctors to help tackle the pandemic in Chicago. Click HERE to read the previous part of […]

Poland, just like the rest of Europe, is still battling with COVID-19. And it’s all for nothing, as revealed by Justyna Socha, the assistant of one of the right-wing MP and leader of Polish pro-disease movement (I am calling it pro-disease movement, as she doesn’t like to be called anti-vaxxer). According to her, it is […]

The struggle with Coronavirus continues. The government and parliament are very busy. They have to ensure, that despite the fact, that the government response to the pandemic is on the path to end in a total disaster, they are going to stay in power.

Poland enters the next stage of the fight with the pandemics. But it seems that the times, where everyone was working together is gone. Hospitals report a critical lack of PPE and other required materials. Doctors and nurses, or even the whole hospitals, are crying for help in social media, others reveal that the government […]

And so, with the virus spreading, most of Poles stay at home. The internet is full of pictures of empty cities. Luckily, there is plenty of streaming services to choose from, including katoflix.pl, the Polish answer to Netflix that streams only Catholic materials. But pandemia is pandemia, #stayathome is #stayathome, but the political show must […]

How Poland tackles Coronavirus pandemics? With the pandemics spreading through Europe I’ve decided to depart from my usual hectic style and focus solely on one issue: How Poland tackles Coronavirus? I will look at how the country deals with the issue at various levels and then, for those who really cannot live without idiotic absurdswe look […]
Food for thought for my British friends
Tomorrow’s Yorkshire Post cartoon. Magnifico @GraemeBandeira pic.twitter.com/Q6SVWRlpj1 — Jack Blanchard (@Jack_Blanchard_) March 13, 2020 I saw this cartoon on Twitter. It depicts an NHS worker holding the whole coronavirus planet on her shoulder. I thought to myself “well, just another case of British megalomania, what else is new” and carried as usual. But today I have […]
AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT: Meanwhile in Cuckooland 119
So President Duda did it. He signed the controversial bill providing extra funding for the PiS propaganda in TVP. Yeah, for propaganda. OK, TVP offers also many valuable programs, but its financial situation is actually not that bad: it’s true that many people fail to pay their TV license fees, but, unlike for example BBC, […]
