That doesn't sound "far right" to me - more likely, a radical who has wants to destroy the "far right" ...
Kierwinski’s statement is now taken as gospel by the MSM
After careful study, we have concluded he was just plain nuts.
Mission Accomplished. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Everyone in Poland says he’s a raging alcoholic.
It’s always “far right until the facts come in”
They will use it as the pretext to cancel the upcoming Independence Day Marches, which are Anti-Tusk in nature.
