    OK I voted. I think it is important to have a name that is easy to pronounce in both Italian and English. I liked more than one of them, can I vote again, once every 24 hours?
    I cannot seem to get myself into the Blogpower group at SL. I even went to help island and asked a mentor who said that when I connect the first thing should be an offer to accept the invitation. Today there was a purple security blob in the BCR who moved if I approached to close. Perhaps you could send me an invitation once again, since that is what the mentor suggested.

    I voted for ‘Francesca’ for the car and ‘Lucky Bastard’ for the owner.

    Thanks, Guthrum. It would be difficult to love a Lucrezia, don’t you think?

    I have to admit that I subverted the system by using another computer to register a second vote. You can ignore it. You’ve probably already made up your mind anyway or your wife has chosen.

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.

Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.

He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that

“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
