The nationwide strike and anti government protests in Poland

People across Poland stayed off work and crowds gathered for a seventh straight day of street protests on Wednesday in a mass outpouring of anger at a high court ruling that bans abortions in cases of congenitally damaged foetuses. Protesters in Warsaw marched from the office of Ordo Iuris, a conservative group that has pushed for a full abortion ban, to the parliament building, which was surrounded by police in riot gear. Large crowds also filled the streets in other major cities, including Krakow and Wroclaw. Poland’s most powerful politician, ruling party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski, lashed out at opposition legislators, accusing them of inciting people to protest during the pandemic. “You are destroying Poland,” Mr Kaczynski told them. “You are exposing a lot of people to death, you are criminals.” He said in the past that pregnancies involving even foetuses that are badly damaged and have no chance of survival outside the womb should “still end up in a birth, so that the chil...

The Shamrock - Helena Callanan

There are thoughts sweet perfume breathing, Bright and sage and full of beauty, Culled from past and present ages, O’er thy album’s pages strewn. From the rich domains of fancy Loving hands with care have gathered Every bud of sweetest meaning They were planted all too soon. Else I might find some stray blossom With fresh dew of thought upon it; Yet I fain with thy fair garland Would one tiny field-flower twine One green spray of native shamrock, Fragrant with historic mem’ries, On each leaf in letters golden I’d engrave a gift divine. Faith, firm Faith, bright, strong, enduring Faith, that life’s fierce storm and passion Shall pass by, and leave unclouded; Be this blessing thine for aye Hope, that glimmereth through darkness, Charms the present, gilds the future, With warm rays of heaven’s glory, Imaging eternal day. Love, God’s crown of bliss, outshining All the joys e’er known or dreamed of, Perfect as thy fairest vision, Be this treasure thine, to keep. In thy inmost hea...
