@EwaZajaczkowska@donaldtusk Weirdest coup ever. How many Poles does it take to change a light bulb? Three. One to hold the bulb, and two to twist the ladder.
I was First Secretary at the British Embassy in Warsaw 1994-98. While that was a long time ago, I knew personally many of the people at the heart of the current crisis, such as Donald Tusk and Radek Sikorski.

“Workers do not work for war” cry the dockworkers in Greece participating in the worldwide Joint Day of Action in over 100 ports across Europe, and the rest of the world 🕊️
VIDEO | "Dockworkers demand no weapons and no military cargo through their ports."
According to field reporting by independent journalist @re_colston, dockworkers across more than 110 ports in 22 countries launched a coordinated international strike today to disrupt global supply chains and blockade weapons shipments destined for war.
Spanning five continents and endorsed by 17 Palestinian trade union bodies, the global labor action aims to halt the maritime transit of military cargo and to protest the broader militarization of commercial shipping hubs by NATO and western powers.
Dockworkers At Over 113 Locations Go On Strike & Organise Protests Against Arms Shipments To Israel
The action is taking place across Europe, North Africa & North America, receiving the backing of 17 Palestinian trade unions and federations, in addition to the support of the BDS movement.
DOCKWORKERS IN GENOA BEGIN WORK STOPPAGE TO STOP ISRAELI ARMS
Dockworkers set fire to tires to commence work stoppage in Genoa as part of a historic refusal to ship Israeli arms.
A historic work stoppage is beginning at 100 ports across four continents. The video shows workers in Genoa, Italy, blocking a passageway, halting operations at the start of the day. Speeches and protests will begin later today. Over $2 billion dollars worth of cargo will sit idle on October 30th as workers from across 100 ports (and counting) will protest against Isr*eli weapons shipments. In one of the largest coordinated day of actions observed in history, spanning four continents, dockworkers will unite to reject their labour being used for the transfer of weapons of war, specifically weapons used Isr*el for its g*nocide in G*za. According to the "No Harbour for G*nocide" website, dockworker demands are the following: * An immediate end to the g*nocide of the P*lestinian people and all imperialist wars; * No arms, amm*nition, military equipment or troops sent to war through their ports; * No ports turned into military bases, no to rearmament and the war economy; * Instead of we*pons budgets: health and safety measures, real wages, secure jobs, and no automation in place of dockworkers. The demands, known as the "Istanbul Declaration," are signed and endorsed by the following unions: ENEDEP (Greece), USB (Italy), LAB (Basque Country), ODT (Morocco), Liman-İş (Türkiye), CGT (France), SEGDAMELIN-PEO (Cyprus) and WTWFI (India).
This is historic!
Dockworkers across 5 continents and 113 ports are striking today to demand an end to their workplaces being used to transport bombs.
This is what our rulers fear most: workers coming together to liberate humanity from capitalism and imperialism.
