             I have moved from being shocked and disappointed at the Treasury to being angry. I spent some time with an elderly client today who is confused and distressed over what to do, and a huge portion of responsibility for her upset rests with unprofessionalism from the Treasury.

             Listening to Italian senator @CarloCalenda is a reminder that we don’t need to be victims of Putin’s corrupt aggression. We have allowed our own weakness by choosing dependency on their energy and capitulation to their lies. The truth matters - Sen Calenda is speaking it. 
           Italian Senator @CarloCalenda speaks the truth about European appeasement towards Putin after the annexation of Crimea. Not so common in the Italian TV. I hope more politician will follow. [ENG SUB]
