Może się powtarzam, ale Oświata ma dużą rolę do odegrania, w poprawie życia niepełnosprawnych, nie tylko ksztacąc osoby niepełnosprawne, ale także dać innym możliwości zetknięcia się z nimi. Również udzielać głosu niepełnosprawnym - aby stworzyc świat zbudowany dla wszystkich.

Having intentionally had himself arrested & sent to Auschwitz in order to gather intelligence & organise resistance cells, Witold Pilecki, along with two other prisoners, escaped #OTD in 1943. His report to the Allies was the first indication of what was happening in the camp.

@theAliceRoberts Not a Christian then, I take it. We'd never have guessed. I'm not especially religious either, but for some atheism can come across as a cult-like religion of its own. Is there any real need to say this? Sure, you don't believe, but why the projection onto others' celebrations?

Extraordinary photo taken Easter Saturday 1948 of queues entering Warsaw's ruined & as yet unreconstructed Arch-cathedral of St John the Baptist. Destroyed in 1944, it was rebuilt not to its prewar plan, but instead according to how the 14thC design was thought to have looked.

@tomhfh Tom, the key difference between US and EU food standards is that in the US rat hairs, maggots, and rodent faeces are permitted in some quantity. That's simply true. Also, why are you picking on Romanian and Bulgarian food? Why are you suggesting they don't adhere to standards?

@Otto_English @Channel4News @realDonaldTrump He would win awards for this though. It's so surreal you have to be the most amazing performer to make it up. I'm just wondering whether he realises Americans have knives too.

@ianbigblue1 @BBCNewsnight @TracyAnnO You didn't listen to a single word she said, did you? She's talking about non Israeli Jews being expected to answer for & bear responsibility for the actions of a state to which they do not belong. She is talking about attacks on non Israeli Jews for something they didn't do.

Who needs RT when you have Simon Jenkins getting a free pass at the Guardian? Honestly, @guardian , enough with the Putin propaganda. The way to resolve food & energy shortages is for Russia not to invade anyone.
