"What strange things are occurring there. I'm taking advantage of Pickle's current sabbatical while he parks his liver in the Tatra sanitorium and stretches his neck along the banks of the Vistula, listening to popular Techno hits in his vladidas shell suit. Anyway, it seems Donald Tusk, who came second in the elections, has somehow become PM and decided to shut down the media, arrest his political opponents in the Presidential Palace and is hell bent on creating some sort of examplar of EU democracy and rule of law while he destroys the zloty to ensure that there is no way back. Does anybody think he will get away with it? Dobje!"

[Nutsin]

I think Pickle is more worried about being flooded with Russians more than immigrants. Rightly so I might add. Just wait till Trump is in office and he fucks off NATO and Ukraine. Poor Pickle!

[Hammer and Pickle]

"Nice of you to drop by O'Cone - as if we needed a reminded of what it is we are dealing with here. *opens window to air thread of the provincial death funk No, spambottroll2, we they are in gaol because a court - an actual proper court, not one of the fake ones created to serve the political interests of the criminal gang that has just been removed from power, heard the evidence and sentenced them for two years for preparing fake proof of corruption to incriminate a former coalition partner who was no longer useful. The whole case demonstrates the extraordinary incompetence of these nutjobs because their arsehole President Duda even pardoned them before they were sentenced, and now has had to pardon them again to get them out of the stripy hole. The enormity of your arseholery is breathtaking and is truly an embarrassment to humanity, it really is."

Pickle’s missus will be fucking thrilled though.

I can‚Äôt wait till that utter cսnt Tusk floods PONCEland with black immigrants and Thickle‚Äôs kids can‚Äôt leave the house without crying through fear.

"Poland is mental, but France is not much better. After Macron installed his boyfriend as Prime Minister at 34 years old, the PM installed his ex-husband as Foreign Minister. Crazy fucking world."

[riosleftsock]

I know why they are in jail. Its how our leaders operate to protect the new rules based order and protect our european values.

[Hammer and Pickle]

"*are in gaol for Not hard is it, spaz?"

[riosleftsock]

"areno gaol? I've sampled a few polish vodkas but have never heard of that one, any good?"

[Hammer and Pickle]

I rather think this is about you knowing what Kaminski and WƒÖsik areno gaol for.

[riosleftsock]

"Ah so did you know who they were all along, or did you just look this up?"

[Hammer and Pickle]

Kaminski and WƒÖsik? Do you know what they did?

[riosleftsock]

Pickle Are you seriously telling me you don't which two MPs were arrested at the President's palace?

[Hammer and Pickle]

"You made the divvy accusation people are getting locked up. You should at least be able to make it properly. But then again, you really are a total moral spastic with access to the internet."

[riosleftsock]

"Gopnik, I could tell you of course, but I'm sure you can find out who is locked up by your own government in your own country."

[Hammer and Pickle]

"This isn’t going well for you, is it. Are you sure you know why you even started this thread?"

[Hammer and Pickle]

You need to name the persons we are supposed to be talking about spambottot2

[riosleftsock]

"Gopnik Do you not have any news in your village, no samizdat nailed to the local telegraph pole? Does your government not even tell you who they have locked up to protect you from?"

[only1billybonds]

Seems like one or two have got the ump over there. https://youtu.be/2WaXI-7rizs?si=JgfjSohXwzzsoKRQ

[Hammer and Pickle]

"OK, let’s play spambottroll2. Name the locked-up persons because, as is perfectly obvious, being a journalist or a politician doesn’t make you above the law in any functioning democracy."

[riosleftsock]

"Remember, locking up politicians and journalists is anti-democracy and against the international rules based order as well as our shared European values. Unless we do it, that's different."

[Hammer and Pickle]

"Yes one can’t help get away from the impression that if he was ever in either Poland or Sweden, he was too busy talking to Jesus about finding an excuse for being a total wanker to notice the perfectly obvious fucking differences in the “air”. What an absolute bellend."

"""The whole place had taken on the air of Swindon."" hahahaha"

[Hammer and Pickle]

"You seem surprised Cracow is now a normal tourist magnet and people have had enough of the Catholic church, which has spent the last eight years sucking the life out of pretty much everything that moves with the aid of a far-right reactionary criminal gang you are naive enough to call a government. I really suggest you read up a bit on place before you go - save you a bit of ""heartbreak""."

"Went to Krakow in the 90s not long after the fall of the Berlin Wall. What a place. Freezing cold. But you could eat like a king for a few quid and there were hardly any tourists around, no budget airlines so no stag dos and no shops selling Tat. But also only one cashpoint which I used more for warming myself up (it was inside the bank) rather than taking any money out as I didn't need much, Went again a few years after with a Polish girl I had met in London. Mid to late 90s by then. It had modernised a bit by then but still charming. Still very religious with people queuing outside Wawel Cathedral to get into one of the hourly Masses on a Sunday. Still cheap. Still no stag nights or tat shops. More cashpoints. Society was functional, stable and at ease with itself. I went again last year. Heartbreaking. Overrun with with tourism and tat shops. Shopping centres had sprung up in the middle. The people looked jaded and had become consumerist. The churches still full compared to the West but less so. The once pretty bashful girls were now dyeing their hair blue and covered in piercings. The whole place had taken on the air of Swindon. I like the Poles and I liked the previous government but they couldn't have ever stopped the cultural changes being imported from the West. The low fertility rates, the hostility and suspicion towards the institutions that once bound them as a nation. As Trump would say, sad! It might look like the new government is seizing control undemocratically but in reality Tusk has pushed at an open door. It was just a matter of time. And if you think this isn't true just wait a few minutes and someone you all know well will declare this drivel and what more do you need to confirm its accuracy."
