About me and this blog

Thanks for visiting my blog, my name is Max Calò, I was born in Trieste, Italy, in 1969 and now live in the London Borough of Lewisham, South East London with my wife Brenda and my daughter Crystal.

Locally I’m mostly known as the leader of the Save Ladywell Pool campaign, the campaign that at the end not only saved the local swimming pool from the bizzarre plans of the Council but also made a great difference to the way Lewisham Council operates in general, and this thanks to the part we played in bringing forward the big electoral swing of last elections that delivered us the no overall control Council we have today. A much desirable situation in an Executive Mayor system as the one we live in.

Besides politics my greatest passions are popular art (especially comics but also films and illustration), good music and good food. I like to cook and find washing dishes quite relaxing, especially since I have a new kitchen that means that I can look into the garden as I wash.

I will try to interest you in the next local elections as I will be running for a Council’s seat.
