Poland in Pictures
As a visitor to a country it’s often difficult to pick up on the politics. Your experience ends up dominated by the tourist sites, and if you don’t speak the language then television news and newspapers are a brick wall. Thankfully, there was plenty of politics to be picked up in Poland, if you looked in the right places.
Good to see some habits die hard in the Jewish Quarter of Krakow
Bush's visit to Europe in 2003 inspired demonstrations across the continent
Pracownicza Demokracja (Worker's Democracy) is a small group affiliated to the International Socialist Tendency. Their Anti-Capitalist Weekend looked decent.
Various bits of graffiti, including 'stop lukashenko', referring to the Hitler admiring President of Belarus.
An Iranian run shop in Krakow expresses solidarity with the demonstrations. They run this blog: www.glosiranu.blog.pl.

Bob the Builder is indeed a true proletarian hero. Remember that episode where he rose up to take into common ownership the means of production?
Very nice post. I’d like to visit Poland.
