"The British ambassador to Poland has sparked a diplomatic incident after promoting a controversial gay pride march due to take place in Warsaw on Saturday. Ric Todd has been told by the country's civil rights ombudsman that he has 'exceeded his authority' and Roman Catholic groups have accused the ambassador of representing the 'homosexual lobby'. The problem arose after Mr Todd, who has been our man in Warsaw for almost two years, gave gay rights leaders a UK Guide To Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual And Transgender People And Their Rights, translated into Polish, earlier this week."

I love the phrase "our man in Warsaw." I know it comes out of an imperialist tradition and excludes half the population, but we should totally co-opt it. Adam Lambart is our man on Idol. Ellen is our man on TV. Rachel Maddow is our man in the news. Tammy Baldwin is our man in congress.
The Daily Mail is a vile, right wing rag, notorious for being obnoxious. The paper is a little to the left of your yank Bill Reilly though!
The Daily Fail is infamously sanctimonious and hypocritical. Tallskin is right.
sad but true – but pls dont think that poland is some kind of a gay hating christian bigots cesspit.
for the last 20 years poland has been in a state of constant political / moral / economical transition and also enormous growth so as everywhere we do have people that do not deal well with free market and globalism and most of all the tempo of those changes.
poland is still worth visiting and tasting a bit of the famous uncut polish kielbasa ;)
The Roman Catholic lobby in Poland is just as bad as the Taliban in Afghanistan.
