The Ugly side of Left wing protests - Conservative Conference

Telegraph - Conference Live: Reports " Anti-austerity march turns nasty as protesters spit at Tories..Police intervene to drag away protesters as they chant "Tory scum" outside entrance to Conservative conference. "

Lets Get Real:

The Police should read the riot act to these so called protesters, they should be shown that there is a difference between peaceful protest and violent protest.   The Police should make arrests and hold those responsible for starting this protests, people in a democracy have the right to free speech, not to be shouted down by hard left unions.   The Conservative Party should follow the example of Margaret Thatcher, she faced pressure from the Unions and she did not back down, and the UK was better off because she was tough, these Unions are out of date, and think they can dictate to the government, that went out with Ted Heath.   The Unions should know their place, or the Police should show them, protest all you like but no violence. 

The UK and Syrian Strikes - Conservative Conference

Guardian: Reports " Support growing in Commons for bombing Isis in Syria, says Hammond...Foreign secretary tells Conservative conference that MPs are moving towards consensus on bombing Islamic State stronghold "

Lets Get Real:

The UK should be careful about getting to a arms contest with the Russians,  the Syrian mess is complex, you have Russians planes with Syrian planes hitting any rebel that is a threat to Assad, while the US and its allies are hitting Daesh targets, while supporting moderate in Syria.   What happens if moderate rebels supported by the US are attacked and the US air force is close by, do they watch, do they send a warning to the Russian planes, do they take action.   The blog is very much a hawk, but one should always see what the next step is, it only takes a drunk Russian with missiles to shoot down a Western plane, then you have  a crisis, that even President Obama can not waffle out of.   The Syrian policy needs caution. 

Tax Credits - Conservative Party Conference

BBC News: Reports " David Cameron has rejected calls to rethink cuts to tax credits, as the Conservatives gather in Manchester for their annual conference. "

Lets Get Real:

The bill for tax credits is 30 BILLION, the New Labour Government under Tony Blair bought tax credits in to existence due to lie, as Tony Blair stated to Alastair Campbell the Treasury cooked the books as to the cost of tax credits, it went from millions to billions.   At its heart it allows mean employers to hire workers on the cheap and then for the government to fund them, the welfare state was not meant for such policies.   The UK Government has to keep to its reform, make work pay, even increase the living wage, so people are not out of pocket.   The general election of 2015 showed that people understand that the government can not print money forever, at some time it has to be paid back, thus the austerity reform of the present government.  

Doctor Who Review - Under the Lake

Doctor Who News:  Reports " 3.7 million watched Doctor Who: Under the Lake, according to unofficial overnight figures.  "

Lets Get Real:

This was a cracking episode, the Doctor and ghosts, it was nice seeing Clara wanting to more adventure, while it was the Doctor who was more cautious, it also allowed for great guest stars, also this might be first for Doctor Who, an actor with  a disability such as deafness actually played by a deaf actress.   There ghosts do have a sci fi answer, but this blog does not to do spoilers, lets just say it has to do with signals.   Also the episode was 1/2, is the Doctor get killed in the past, one has doubts, its far to early for a regeneration.   As stated before the relationship is great between the Doctor and Clara, a Mentor and his student  who likes monsters.
