In Birmingham, overheard a couple speaking Czech: - why there's so much police here? - some political event seems to be happening. - oh, do you think there will be Palestine protest? I would really want to watch how they are arresting grannies for terrorism. It's UK' newest tourist attraction!

I forgot how dirty Britain is. There is litter everywhere. I am on the bus. It stinks of cigarettes, cigarette butts are lying on the floor upstairs and a bottle, a can and two coffe cups are happily rolling around. I also was considering standing because all the seats are so dirty.

So you know how Britain is all about migrants that don't observe the law? I decided I will be that migrant that observes the law. The law says as someone with settled status I am allowed to travel to Britain using my EU ID. Guess what? You can't do that.

I am hearing that ferry traffic from Helsinki to Tallin had been suspended due to some activity in the sea. Rumour has it there is stand off between Russians being up to no good and and Finnish coastal guard. Have no way to verify this. But something is definitely up:

My girlfriend just got scammed by some website that pretended to be UK govt website, but charges 104 pounds for ETA. I asked if she didn't though it's too much. She said "no, Britain always has ridiculous fees for all beaurocratic procedures". Well, she is not wrong... But we're still angry.

Oh. How the tables turned. I just got a post on Facebook that encourages people in Britain to move to Poland and become bus drivers (Yes, there is a massive shortage of bus drivers in Poland now so they are taking non-EU citizens too).

#PolishMeme LIBERATING TRUTHS ABOUT ADULTHOOD: 1. You don't need to get married to spend a life with someone. 2. Having kids is not mandatory, it's not a condition to have fulfilled life. 3. Work does need to be your passion. You dont have to pursue career. 4. At any time, without any

You know I love Finland for great tourist infrastructure. Forest huts, dry toilets, BBQ places with free wood, bothies, saunas. It always drove me crazy that in Scotland you're lucky if there is a picnic table with a bench. And look at this: wheelchair accessible bbq spot:

University - bombed. Mosque - bombed. Children's hospital - bombed to oblivion. Christian church - bombed. We all knew how bad it is. But I am watching it and I am speechless.

No matter where you look, rural, urban or suburban, everything is destroyed. The only places that show signs of humans living there are shanty towns of tents and makeshift sheds. If that's not #genocide then I don't know what is.

After an Ukrainian man with mental issues attacked Benedictinian monks with a knife, killing one and injuring others, the Polish society exploded with anti-Ukrainian hate and aggression. Now one of the victims had conducted a mass during which he had a very moving sermon:

I don't think the right picture is right either. For it to reflect the US politics the republican wing should be backwards.

"You cannot systematically incite hate and terror amongst children and then pretend you want peace." Very wise words coming from Israeli Foreign Ministry today. I guess their irony detector was Hamas so they bombed it and cannot use it anymore.

Meanwhile in the right wing Polish historical magazine: "HOW AUSTRIANS INVENTED UKRAINIANS". What's interesting for me is that not only Franz Joseph and dr Frankenstein were apparently the same person but also that he had 6 fingers :)

I am always fascinating by those little insights into Russian's way of thinking that can be seen in the street interviews. I am fascinated how they are unable to see how they contradict themselves in the same sentence. This one from the latest @bbcstever.bsky.social is yet another gem like that:

They are so bad at recognizing animals that not only they shot at wrong bird (which can be understand, since bird hunting (which should be banned straight out in my opinion) means they have fractions of seconds to aim and shot) but they dont' even recognize when they pick it up and publish photos:
