IL VOTO MALATO

Affaritaliani.it : "Calano tutti, cresce solo la nausea e il non-voto, vince solo Matteo Salvini. Ed è lui, l'altro Matteo, quello con l'orecchino, il nuovo fenomeno politico italiano. Il giorno dopo il mini-voto regionale, ad onta di interpretazioni di parte e interessate, volenti o nolenti è questa la notizia."

Ma spiegatemi una cosa. Salvini/Lega Nord prende 19% dei voti in Emilia e ZERO in Calabria, ma viene dato come fenomeno della politica.
Renzi prende 44,5% (49% in coalizione) in Emilia e 23,7% (61,4% in coalizione) in Calabria, eppure e' il grande perdente.

Salvini, come Farage in Gran Bretagna, continua con il populismo del discorso sull'immigrazione, o meglio sull'influsso, le onde, lo tsunami di stranieri che rubano i posti agli italiani. Ma i posti dove sono? Gli scandali bancari e delle grandi industrie, le frodi di imprenditori, le tasse non pagate da quelli che i soldi li fanno... questi non sono temi molto piu' pressanti? Ridurre le dimensioni della politica, aiutare i giovani a trovare casa, lavoro. Forse se si parlasse un po' piu' di questo...

Renzi non e' perfetto e chiunque entra in quel ruolo e' al momento frenato troppo dalle varie fazioni che hanno paura a sparire con le nuove riforme.
Leggo molte parole nei vari giornali, sento tante parole dai vari politici, ma di concretezza e fatti nessuna traccia.

Pochi vanno a votare pero' il Centrosinistra prende 1,104,000 voti su 5 milioni a disposizione... a me sembra che sia la destra a non aver votato considerando che essendo all'opposizione sono loro a voler cambiare il governo. Quindi si preclude che alla destra vada bene questo governo, e allora lo lascino lavorare e funzionare altrimenti dalla crisi non ci si esce.

REACH OUT, TALK TO PEOPLE

I wanted to share what we did at the weekend in the hope to inspire other people to try what my partner and I ended up doing. A few days ago we were walking the dogs late in the afternoon and on the way back, in this big field, we noticed an elderly woman walking slowly leaning on her stick. We asked if she was ok as she seemed tentative and a little confused. The very first thing she said, almost without realising that's what she was going to say was: "You are the first people I've spoken to all day". Neither of us expected that so we stayed with her, chatting away for about 40 minutes. We ended up walking her back to her house, exchange numbers and invite her for a Sunday roast. She was going to be 89 a few days later and it seemed a nice thing to do. She was really touched as she didn't have it in her to cook a roast for herself (and she admitted she hated cooking).

LA CLASSICISSIMA, A PREVIEW

As classics go, Milano-Sanremo is the longest of them all (almost 300km) and one of the oldest (1907). Eddy Merckx has won it a record 7 times. It has been marred by late snow at times and its route has been modified here and there, but at its core is the length and flatness, so one for the sprinters traditionally but not so much of late. There are a few lumps, but although short and not very steep, they usually come at the end of a long day on the saddle and have been decisive in the outcome of the race. In recent times, the climbs of Cipressa (added in 1982) and Poggio (added in 1960) have been the theatres of all-out attacks. The breakneck and twisty descent from the Poggio especially, induced some of the most entertaining racing... and some awful crashes too. The finish in the town of Sanremo has moved posts a few times but whether it was in the false flat of Via Roma or on the pan flat promenade by the sea, many a time it has ended in a bunch sprint.

AN OLYMPIC EFFORT

When the Olympic cycling road race and TT race routes were announced I was extremely excited. I live bang in the middle of both. One of the most important races in cycling was going to be ridden near my house. Television screens would be filled with images of roads I'm familiar with, the pros will be riding my commute to work AND some of my cycling club runs' routes (Kingston Wheelers).
