> Poland not so much
Oh, EU has got ways to screw Poland all right, don’t you worry.
Like right now lots of local governments there are reverting certain anti-LGBT laws to get to EU grants or whatever it’s called.
- ekabod 5y agoWho are these local governments? I don't know any.

- ashtonkem 5y agoI’m perplexed by the combination of “screw Poland” and the idea that what the EU is doing is making Poland respect the human rights of its own citizens. Are you implying that what the EU is doing here is bad?
- p2t2p 5y agoThank you for asking instead of just downvoting, it is very valuable to me to be able to see how my message can convey different meaning from what I intended. What I'm saying is that EU has means of causing negative consequence for Poland (and any other member) should they decide to engage into activities that are incompatible with EU values (like violating human rights, breaking trade agreements made by EU, etc).
- ashtonkem 5y agoAh, my interpretation of an idiom created a negative connotation you didn’t intend. C’est la vie. Thanks for the clarification.
