Polish soldiers in Holland sharing their rations with Dutch children. Children waiting for their turn while tankmen of the 1st Polish Armoured Division receive food rations somewhere on the Tilburg Front. #WWII #Nederland #Poland #NeverForget

Well I never. Who could have guessed etc

Blame the Germans.

20 years ago today Anna Politkovskaya, one of Russia’s most prominent investigative journalists, was murdered. I found no mention of the anniversary in today's Russian newspapers. #ReadingRussia

Leon Wyczółkowski - Pogrzeb Słowackiego na statku Mickiewicz* (kredka, tempera, tusz na tekturze, 79,5 x 104 cm), 1927, Muzeum Okręgowe w Bydgoszczy. #PolishMastersofArt ______ * W czerwcu 1927 roku, blisko osiemdziesiąt lat po śmierci Juliusza Słowackiego, jego prochy sprowadzono z paryskiego Cmentarza Montmartre do Krakowa, by złożyć je w Krypcie Wieszczów Narodowych w Katedrze na Wawelu. Leon Wyczółkowski był mocno zaangażowany w przygotowania do tych uroczystości - wspólnie z cenionym architektem i malarzem Józefem Gałęzowskim projektował m. in. dekoracje Barbakanu, a całemu wydarzeniu poświęcił także liczne rysunki. Jedną z nich jest przedstawienie statku Mickiewicz, którym przewożono urnę z prochami wieszcza. Wyczółkowski pokazał tu odświętnie udekorowany parowiec, a w centrum kompozycji umieścił urnę ustawioną wysoko na katafalku i otoczoną płonącymi pochodniami. Większość prac artysty związanych z pogrzebem Słowackiego znajduje się dziś w zbiorach bydgoskiego Muzeum Okręgowego 🖼️

What is ' anti-racism ' ? There are laws in place that have made any racial discrimination an offence. So what is ' anti-racism ' ? Anyone can claim ' racism ' it needs no proof. It is taken more seriously than being stabbed and dying. See bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpvp…

This is controlling our borders, immigration and national security.

lol. BBC pays white staff less in almost every pay band telegraph.co.uk/gift/13de7aa…

If you are a minority accept that and learn about the country you came to and do not riot and complain for decades. Otherwise go back to your country of origin double quick.

White staff at the BBC earned less on average than ethnic minority colleagues in six of its seven pay bands last year, according to the corporation’s figures. @_Harry_Brennan_ breaks down everything those figures suggest ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/money/consum…

Poland should have had that island after the 2WW.

This is his school

Minor point but is Kingston a part of South West London ? It is clearly a distinct town and has its own postcode. I have never considered it to be in London.

Redefining 'English' into an all-inclusive civic label amounts to the linguistic and sociological dismantling of English identity. Up until recently - until at least 2010 - 'English' was near-universally understood as an ethnic designation. Erasing that distinction under the guise of inclusivity does not unite; it disenfranchises ancestral English people from their own heritage. When she arrived here in 1996 as a sixteen-year-old, it was still the near-universal view. Yet since the late 2010s, progressives and ethnic interest activists (like Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke "Kemi" Adegoke) have worked on the young to shift this, to be more 'inclusive'. Far from being inclusive, it is a project seeking to rewrite history and exclude the actual English people from their own identity and terminology.
