London for ever - 8

I've read a lot about the terrorist attack, last wednesday, on Westminsterbridge.

When I was in  London, a few decades ago, I felt like living a city full of humanity, full of respect.

Since then, London is still in my heart. A wound made to London it's therefore an offence to my heart.

London has been mother and father at the same time, and all the londoners (I mean all the people who live in London) are my friends.

I used to work and study in London. 

Like anywherealso in the world there are good people and peolple living over there.

I mostly met good people: mannered persons, gentle women, nice friends.

And soon after, every place has got its own genius loci.

The geniuses living in London are all good ones.

As far as London keeps on welcomeing all the good people searching a better life, granting them a new chance of life, those geniuses won't go away from its streets, from its banks, from his parks, from its public houses.

The Evil may be will try again to drive them away, but it won't succeed.

You are a pride for the world my London.

And please,  be what you are for ever.

London for ever - 7

The lambs lie down on Westminster

sacrificied by the shot dead priest

of the nothingness faith

pushed by madness

moved by hate

sent by  pretending prophets

who now are cheering up 

for more victims

in the pantheon web

of foolishness.

But two faults

never can make a why,

and violence can never be justified

even if you had a reason

to be spent

 somewhere.

Men of power,

for the sake of the true 

Merciful God

of the whole humanity,

please, put apart any selfishness

and hear the poor poet

claiming for justice.

In London the 22nd of March 2017

Beyond the Hadrian Wall

Scottish PM Nicola Sturgeon has called for a new referendum on Scotland leaving the UK. 

That's a straight consequence of  premier May triggering the article 50 of European Treaty in order to drive UK out of EU ( the so called Brexit). 

Edinborough does not want to leave Bruxelles and Scottish people want to remain in the European Union. 

As matter of fact the large majority of Scots voted for remaining in the june referendum last year. 

So London risks to pay a very high price leaving EU. 

But if Edinborough succeeds on its idea of breaking the unity with London, then we will have to say that English have succeeded where even the Roman Empire had failed: joining the Caledonian lands to the western civilised countries, while England will remain off the Hadrian Wall.

 I ask my English friends if it is worth all this.

 Please, put apart your pride and come back on your steps. 

EU needs to be changed from inside. 

We need London staying with us. We want Scotland staying within. 

Can anyone do anything to stop an odd and casual disaster like Brexit seems to be? 

Anyway, London will be in my heart for ever.

Thank you Lords

It  invites us to a serious reflection the amendment the Lords have inserted in  the Brexit bill in order to protect three millions of EU citizens, working and living in UK, after Artcle 50 is triggered.

What I expected  was to be done by the  House of Commons It has been done instead by the House of Lords.

It is a widespread belief, even abroad, that  Lords are  people of privileges,  living in the past,  insensitive and rich enough to snub all the rest of the world, indifferent to anybody'else problems.

I don't know if that's true.

What I know for sure it's that yesterday 358 (against 256) of them vote an amendment to secure the acquired rights of 3 millions of EU citizens living in UK.

But why such a vote is surprising?

I'll try to answer this question.

In my opinion as the Commoners were afraid  to lose the political consent by the voters, they voted, on both fronts (tories and labs) giving carte blanche to Government on Brexit bill.

The sad truth is that inspite we rant about democracy, a forum of no elected people (The Lords, as matter of fact) remember the world, with their amendment,  the real basis of morality and principles of human rights.

And in times of trumps, lepens and various despots, pushed by blind populism, it's not really a poor thing.

And anyway, I told you  various times that London is forever.
