Sky News: Reports from the European Parliament " Pro-Remain MEPs burst into a rendition of Auld Lang Syne after the withdrawal agreement was approved by 621 votes to 49.  "

Lets Get Real:

It will be interesting to see who is OUT celebrating the FACT that the UK has left the EU after 47 years.   How many remainers still not accept the fact that we have LEFT.  The next interesting period is the transition period, how close will we be with the EU, hopefully not that close, the House of Parliament should be SOVEREIGN, not over the water in the EU.  If no deal can be reached then we should have a HARD BREXIT, just a basic trade agreement, no matter what Wales or Scotland say about the deal. 

The Process of Brexit - Part 2 - Brexit Update 1 - 31st January 2020

BBC News: Reports from the European Parliament,  " MEPs ratified the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement by 621 votes to 49 following an emotional debate in Brussels. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the final process of BREXIT has been done, the deal has been passed by the European Parliament.   The mournful look on the face of a lot MEPs was funny, the UK is not moving location, there is still the English Channel between US and Europe.   The Hard Remainers were crying, thinking more of wages and expenses that they will lose, the EU is called a gravy train for a reason!! not all of them of course, some of them believe in the Euro project, a FEDERAL EUROPE, a federal government with its own government and army, it thankful we got out in TIME.   One can speculate that it will be the FRENCH next, NOW that Germany owns and runs Europe, how long before the German taxpayer gets bored or peeved of having to pay for Europe.   The EU might not be on its last legs, but its end is coming. 

Our Fish should remain OUR Fish - Brexit 2 - 31st January 2020

Sky News: Reports " Fish for finance' battle looms ahead of EU-UK trade talks...Irish PM Leo Varadkar links EU access to UK fishing waters with access to EU markets for UK financial service companies.  "

Lets Get Real:

The UK voter made it clear in general election of 2019 that they want the UK out of the EU, and that means we keep our fish, and no longer regulated by the EU on our fishing waters.  If the IRISH want to cause problems, they be reminded that it's their loss if there is no agreement.  There is an Irish general election coming up in February, it could be that the Irish PM is trying to sound tough as to gain voters, politics never ends.   There should be a basic free trade agreement with the EU, at the end of the day the UK Parliament should be SOVEREIGN, not the EU or the EU Courts. 

The new 50p and Brexit - Brexit 1 - 31st January 2020

BBC News:  Reports " Author Sir Philip Pullman has declared war on the new Brexit 50p - but it's nothing to do with politics.  "

Lets Get Real:

In reality this blog could care less if there is a comma after prosperity, it is not needed as there is an and after it, also this blog is not sure if it is just a debate about the USE of the English language, a HARD REMAINER might try to use the issue in Court to block BREXIT, after three years of the HARD REMAINERS trying everything to block BREXIT, the blogger has its spider senses open to such a move.  That is what BREXIT PTSD does for you, you do not trust the establishment.   Even the dictionary 

Doctor Who Fugitive of the Judoon - Doctor Who Review - Arts

Doctor Who News: Reports " Doctor Who Fugitive of the Judoon, was watched by 4.21 million viewers in the UK yesterday according to unofficial overnight figures.  "

Lets Get Real:

This was a real kick up the backside episode, the Doctor faced the Judoon, your favorite right wing cops, they shot innocent people even before the Doctor arrived, Graham was transported to a ship but a very familiar voice came on line, it was Captain ......   The Doctor managed to save Ruth who was being hunted by the Judoon, but Ruth had secrets, deep ones.  The Doctor discovered that the real Ruth was cloaked, ( the Doctor decided to take Ruth on a road trip to her home, to see what she could recall.  While the Doctor searched Ruth found out who she really was, and this was even more a shock to the Doctor, after that it alls spoilers, it was nice to see the set for the original TARDIS, but how is a spoiler ) Watch this episode is is great. 

The Process of Brexit - Brexit Final Chapter - 31st January 2020

BBC News: Reports " Boris Johnson signs withdrawal agreement in Downing Street "

Lets Get Real:

Thus a week to go before the UK celebrates leaving the EU, it will be a historic day, the Channel planner shows that the BBC and ITV will have live coverage, while of course the 24/7 news channels will follow it hour by hour, and the it will be 1st February.   The UK will be an independent Sovereign State again.  The UK PM will no longer be left in a room while the others EU States decide OUR future.   The EU will have to come to the UK if it wants something, and they will sooner or later.   The EU without the UK will be a lesser power, we can decided our OWN foreign policy.  If the Russians try anything in the Baltic States it will not be the EU that defends them, it will be the US and the UK and the rest of NATO.  A time to celebrate, Freedom cometh. 

31st January 2020, UK leaving the EU - Brexit 2 - 31st January 2020

Sky News: Reports on the reaction of the the Remainers in the House of Commons to the news that the Queen has given Royal Assent to the Brexit withdrawal Act, " But pro-EU politicians were less pleased, Labour MP Rachael Maskell saying the deal should have been "put to the people for a final say" and the Greens' Caroline Lucas calling it a "a moment of huge regret".  "

Lets Get Real:

This is why you can not trust the Remainers, if they ever have the chance they will take us back in to the EU, they want to be part of the structure and would even sign up to the disaster that is the Euro.  If Labour wants to be in government again, it must select a new leader that respects the 2016 vote and accepts that the UK is out of the EU.  The HARD REMAINERS have shown they will use anything to prevent the UK leaving the EU, they must be prevented from being sneaky and getting the UK back in to the EU. 

Royal Assent given to Brexit Withdrawal Act - Brexit - 31st January 2020

BBC News: Reports " Deputy Speaker Nigel Evans tells MPs that the Brexit bill has been signed into law.  "

Lets Get Real:

I must admit I never thought this DAY would come, after the last 3 years you expect something to go wrong, this shows why minority Governments do not work in the UK, the Government must have a strong majority, it can then push its agenda through.  The UK will leave the EU on 31st January, Friday NEXT.   It would be nice if we could leave the rhetoric of leave and remain behind, the UK will be OUT of the EU, nothing changes over the transition period, the Government has 11 months to get a TRADE AGREEMENT, if no we will have HARD BREXIT.  Time to Celebrate. 

Blair Years PART of the Thatcher Era - Labour Leadership Contest

Daily Mail: Reports "'Bad politics and worse history': Ex-prime minister Tony Blair hits back at Lisa Nandy for accusing his New Labour government of continuing the 'Thatcherite consensus' as she gets through to final round of party leadership race "

Lets Get Real:

One has doubts that the great Lady saw Blair as part of her Era, the domestic reforms such as the minimum wage wage and the granting of a Parliament to Scotland and a Assembly for Wales was not part of the Thatcher mind set.   One can not understand why it's OKAY in the Labour Party  to diss the last Labour Government but give Corbyn high marks, he failed at two General Elections. One can assume that Lisa Nandy is using this rhetoric to gain support in the left wing base of the  Party.   That is a mistake, Leaders like Thatcher LEAD, Nandy has not learned that lesson. 

PM Boris on Brexit Bill passing Parliament - Brexit 2 - 31st January 2020

Sky News: Reports " Boris Johnson asks for 'rancour and division' to be left behind after Brexit bill clears parliament..Three-and-a-half years after Britons backed Brexit, the PM's Withdrawal Agreement Bill is set to get royal assent and become law.  "

Lets Get Real:

The moaning REMAINERS have not played fair, they have used everything to block BREXIT, from the High Courts to a House Speaker who was a firm Remainer.  Also Remainers have blocked using Big Ben to announce that we had LEFT the EU.  In time the old terms, Leavers and Remainers terms will fade, with exception of the Liberal Democrats and a majority of Labour MPs, that is why they lost in 2019.  A NEW ERA starts next Friday.  The Labour Party needs a new leader who respects the Brexit vote and the result of the General Election, otherwise we do not have an Opposition, we have a pressure group. 

Brexit Bill passes the House of Lords - 31st January 2020

BBC News: Reports " Boris Johnson's Brexit bill is one step away from becoming law after completing its passage through Parliament.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the final step is Royal Assent, then next Friday at 11pm we are out of the EU.  No more Euro elections, no more Euro Summit's, no more emergency meetings of the heads of Government.   The BBC can cut its staff, then they can afford to pay for the licence for the over 75.   The Queen must think she has seen it all, she was Queen when the UK voted to join the EU and now we will be out.  There is transition talks, nothing changes in 20th of December, either a deal with the EU or a HARD BREXIT.  Liberation Day is coming folks, only a week and a few days to go. 

The House of Lords and Brexit - Part 2 - Move to the North

Sky News: Reports " Boris Johnson's Brexit deal suffers Lords defeats on child refugees and devolution powers...The prime minister is expected to use his large Commons majority to overturn the amendments passed by peers in the Lords.  "

Lets Get Real:

No wonder Lords are not allowed to vote, they have lost the plot, the PM has to make clear to their Lordships that they are not elected and their is  a call to abolish them, mostly on the Labour side.   The new Government should remind their Lordships that the Conservative manifesto mentioned reform of the constitution, so while the Lords can be moved North they also can be gotten rid off.  The Lords need to learn their place, they are not elected, and the Remain side lost in 2016 and 2019. 

The House of Lords vs. The House of Commons - Brexit Bill - 31st January 2020

BBC News: Reports " Peers have approved Boris Johnson's Brexit bill, but not before making changes to the legislation.  "

Lets Get Real:

The House of Lords has to be taught a lesson, it can not thwart the will of the UK voter, this has been shown in the 2016 vote and the recent General Election, if the House of Lords is playing games it should be warned that the Government will use the Parliament Act to force the Brexit Bill through.   The HARD REMAINERS in the LORDS have lost the plot, about time that they were moved to the North, York etc.  The House of Commons is expected to overturn the changes, let's hope the House of Lords gets the message. 

The REMAIN House of Lords - Brexit Battle Part 2 - 31st January 2020

Sky News: Reports " Boris Johnson's Brexit deal suffers first defeat in the House of Lords...Peers back an amendment calling for EU citizens lawfully residing in Britain to be allowed physical proof of their status. "

Lets Get Real:

The House of Lords has shown its True Remain colours, it is trying to thwart BREXIT, the Government has to show who has the whip hand, it should overturn the House of Lords in the Commons and make it clear that any more frustration then the Lords will be SENT UP NORTH, and with half pay and no travel expenses.   The UK voter expects to leave the EU on the 31st January, any delay by the House of Lords will be seen as arrogance and the Lords being out of touch.  The PM has to be firm with them.   The Labour Party candidates for the leadership should be forced to say if they support the move by the Lords. 

Government Defeated in House of Lords over Brexit Bill - 31st January 2019

If you have BREXIT PTSD, this will help you feel normal again!!

BBC News: Reports " The government has lost three votes in the Lords over its Brexit legislation - its first defeats since the election. "

Lets Get Real:

It seems the House of Lords has not got the message, the UK VOTED to leave the EU in 2016 and confirmed that in the 2019 General Election.  The House of Commons can overturn the actions of the House of Lords, the Lords should be made aware that the Government will use the Parliament Act to force the Brexit Bill through if needed.  The Parliament Act forces the House of Lords to accept the Government line on laws. It is a good idea to send the House of Lords to the North, will get them out of the Westminster bubble.  Or Remain central as it is called by this blog. 

Doctor Who Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror - Doctor Who Review - No Spoilers

Doctor Who News: Reports " Doctor Who Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror, was watched by 4.04 million viewers in the UK yesterday according to unofficial overnight figures.  "

Lets Get Real:

This was a fast moving episode, the Doctor meet Nikola Tesla,  a great inventor before his time, and also the opposition in the shape of Thomas Edison.   Of course the Tesla name today is known from the non fuel cars.  It was interesting to see how the show dealt with the histories of the two men, Tesla was the businessman who could mass produce inventions while Teslea as the lone genius, Edison stated that the British never understood business, was that a hint at Brexit.   The Alien THREAT was not that great, they stole what they wanted, the Doctor has no difficulty in stopping them.  One can not go into much detail as that would spoil the show.   This episode is worth watching twice for the great script, acting and you pick up some historical nuggets.  

The overnight ratings can be misleading, it is better to check the numbers after those that  have watched it on Iplayer or other devices. 

Sanders LEADS in New Hampshire - Election 2020

The Hill: Reports " Sanders registered 23 percent support among Democratic primary voters in the state, a slight drop from the 26 percent he carried in a similar poll conducted in November. But Buttigieg slightly bigger dip, falling from 22 percent support in November to 18 percent.  "

Lets Get Real:

It can be postulated that Speaker Pelosi is the least favourite person in the Sanders camp at the moment, the Senate Impeachment Trial starts this week and Senators Sanders will be off the campaign for weeks, right smack in the Iowa and NH elections.  The US Senators did not have the balls to tell Pelosi to get a move on, thus they are stuck in D.C, this will open the field for Biden and Mayor Pete, they should spend every hour of every day in Iowa and NH, their faces should drive the poor voters mad, that is the way to win in these States, they have seen the greats before, they all come to NH to either kickstart their campaign or save their campaign, even Reagan after not entering IOWA in 1980 had to stop Bush 41 in NH, the rest is history.  Bill Clinton was saved his campaign in 1992 and become the nominee.  This is the time for Biden and Mayor Pete to show they the gifts in this open field to take the PRIZE and end Sanders and Warren while they sulk in D.C.  Politics is a ruthless business. 

Trump is a CLOWN - Evil Speaks Part 2 - Iran Crisis - Middle East

Sky News: Reports on a sermon by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, " Delivering his first sermon in eight years in Tehran, the top cleric branded Donald Trump a "clown" who only pretended to support the Iranian people and would "push a poisonous dagger" into their back.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is not a smart move by the Ayatollah, the Trump Oval is under pressure due to the Senate trial on his impeachment by the House, and his recent assassination order has come under harsh critical review by Democrats.   The Trump Oval tends to lash out when he is attacked, and Trump has the US Navy in the Gulf, if the Tehran Regime does something foolish like attack another US Flagged ship or a US military vessel, the Trump Oval might over react and order a full scale attack on Iran.   The take out of the Tehran Regime, would be applauded by most US voters.   The theocracy in Iran better be careful, they are walking a a very thin red line. 

When EVIL speaks - Iran Crisis - Middle East

BBC News: Reports " Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has defended the country's armed forces after it admitted shooting down a passenger plane by mistake.  "

Lets Get Real:

The US and the West should place more sanctions on IRAN, force the people on the streets in large numbers to take down the EVIL REGIME, the revolution of 1979 was a disaster for Iran, the theocracy of the Regime knows no bounds, it kills its own people, prevents peaceful demonstrations, arrests the opposition, suppresses the popular will of the people of IRAN.  The REGIME has to be bought down before it gets the bomb, a nuclear armed Iran is a threat to the US and to the West, the story of this Regime can only end one way, otherwise we have another North Korea on our hands. 

Who is telling the truth over that CHAT, Sanders or Warren ? - Election 2020

BBC News: Reports " Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren claims rival Bernie Sanders told her a woman could not win this year's presidential election.  "

Lets Get Real:

It should be noted that Senator Sanders has denied the claim, so who does this blog trust, well sorry not Senator Warren, she went along for years claiming she was of native American decent, even on official documents.  This rumble on the left of course helps former VP, Joe Biden, the more older voters will see splits on the left and look for a moderate and stable candidate, without the discord on the centre and right.   There is a Democratic debate tonight, it will be interesting to see if either Sanders or Warren bring up the FACT that Jo Bide while a Senator voted for the IRAQ WAR in 2003.   Of course the plus side for Biden is that the the two Senators will be stuck in D.C over the Trump Trial, he will have Iowa and New Hampshire to himself.  As noted in my previous post, the Trump Campaign sees Sanders as the favourite candidate to win the Democratic nomination, this could be wish fulfilment by them, the real THREAT is Jo Biden or Mayor Pete.   At least the 202O Election is more fun than BREXIT. 

Is Trump feeling the Burn from Senator Sanders? - Election 2020

Fox News: Reports " Trump campaign dubs Bernie Sanders the new Dem 'frontrunner' "

Lets Get Real:

The Socialist Vermont Senator is NOW leading in Iowa and has a chance in New Hampshire.   One has to be impressed with Sanders not his policy, but his recovery from a heart attack and the lack of the opposition candidates to use that against him, he is in his 70s also, well then you can argue is Trump, the combined ages of both would take you to over 140+.    If and it is still a big if, Bernie can take Iowa and New Hampshire he could be hard to beat on Super Tuesday.  It can be argued the same is for Senator Warren, she has a chance of winning Iowa and New Hampshire, if she can win both then Biden is is real trouble in S.C.  Also the Senators will have to attend the TRIAL of President Trump before the US Senate, that will take them away from the campaign trail, that could allow Biden or Mayor Pete to overtake them in Iowa and New Hampshire.    The Senators might say in public they support the campaign of Pelosi but not if it costs them the Presidency. 

Trump and Iran - The Iran Crisis Cools - Middle East/Persia

Guardian: Reports " Crisis for Iran may present an opportunity for Washington...It is not clear Trump is ready to adapt any US policies based on latest developments in Tehran  "

Lets Get Real:

The Left wing Guardian wants to remove the heavy sanctions on Iran, the reverse is needed, after the Tehran Regime shot down its own passenger plane and killing over 170+ the Regime needs to placed on every sanction going, the US CIA should help the opposition to communicate if the Tehran Government is shutting down communication.   The Tehran Regime is on its knees, the US Government and its allies should use this time to break the neck of the Islamic Republic.    There needs to be Regime change in Tehran, how long will the poor people of Iran have to suffer the theocracy Regime, that has no REAL support and is kept in power by the threat of the bullet.  This is the time to place maximum pressure on Iran, destroy it while it is WEAK, it is an EVIL regime that should be on the ash heap of history. 

The Labour Leadership CONTEST - General Election 2024

BBC News: Reports " Emily Thornberry will join four others in the next round of the contest to become Labour leader...Sir Keir Starmer, Rebecca Long Bailey, Lisa Nandy and Jess Phillips had already qualified for the next stage.  "

Lets Get Real:

The next general election will be in 2024, the Labour Party could decided the result now if it elects the right next leader.   The negatives for Labour would be Sir Keir Starmer and Emily Thornberry, they are London MPs and firm Remainer supporters.  While the election of Lisa Nandy or Jess Phillips would give the Labour Party a chance in 2024.  The PROBLEM with Ms Phillips is that she is a Remainer, and has stated that she would support going back in to the EU.   That will not go down well with Northern and Midlands Labour supporters, who voted Conservative first the time, as to get BREXIT DONE.   This blog is not a Labour supporting blog, that is VERY CLEAR, but its once piece of advice for Labour voters is vote for Lisa Nandy, she just might be the ticket to win in 2024.

Orphan 55 - Doctor Who Review - No Spoilers - Arts

Sorry about the delays in blog posts, this blog came down with a heavy flue the first week on January and then a massive Cold the the 2nd week, will try to get back to normal soon!!

Doctor Who News: Reports " Doctor Who Orphan 55, was watched by 4.19 million viewers in the UK yesterday according to unofficial overnight figures.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Doctor's companion Graham won a holiday for the Doctor and his companions, the Tardis team was transported to a new holiday resort.   The arrival of the Doctor bought an alien invasion of a kind.   It was up to the Doctor to save her companions and those that had come for a holiday.   The Monsters looked great, big teeth to bite people with, a apex predator, that is a CLUE.   The Doctor found out that the Holiday resort was a orphaned planet, one that had been made unlivable by the last residents.   While in the tunnels getting away from the Dregs ( Monisters ) one of the companions found out where they were! Along away some of the survivors allowed themselves to get caught by the Drags as to allow the others to escape.   There is a lot of laser firing.   The show had a political content, bit on the nose by the end, but that is not bad, the best Doctor Who shows from the early 70s had a political message, does not matter, allows for debate, even if you disagree with the message.

Doctor Who needs to move to Saturday, the Sunday slot is not working, while having a female Doctor is fresh, the Doctor has a massive ego, so the next Doctor should be male, we are 49% of the population.   

Iran launches ATTACK on US Troops - Clouds of War Part 2 - Middle East

Sky News: Reports " Iran has launched "tens" of missiles at Iraq's Ain Assad air base housing US troops following the killing of the country's top general.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is a developing story, so far there is no news of any deaths or massive damage to the base, if there are deaths expect POTUS to react, if there is minimal damage then the US might not react, it really depends how good the rockets from Iran are.   One could argue that both sides have made their point and they will de - escalate, thus far it will be hard to say, there are no real details coming through from the region.  DEVELOPING BREAKING NEWS. 

UK Military Forces on ALERT over Iran - War Clouds Part 1 - Middle East Crisis

BBC News: Reports " The UK has put the Royal Navy and military helicopters on standby amid rising tensions in the Middle East, Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has said.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus far a lot of hot air from Tehran, not much actual action, that could be good, the assassination of Soleimani might make Iran think twice before taking action, they do not KNOW what POTUS will do, they might consider it limited, the Trump Oval might think that Tehran has not learned NOTHING and takes drastic action.   The appeasing TV and Press have really fallen for the Tehran line, thank goodness these outlets were not around in WW2, they would be pushing the German line.   The US and UK are on alert for any action, one can only hope that Iran does NOTHING, and starts to have real talks with the US and the West. 

How will Iran react to the death of Suleimani - Signs of war Part 3 - Middle East

Guardian: Reports " Iran ends nuclear deal commitments as fallout from Suleimani killing spreads "

Lets Get Real:

This could be a massive mistake by Iran, it would lose its relationships with France and Germany and Israel might think that Iran will become a nuclear threat and take out its nuclear facilities as it has done with Iraq in 1981 and Syria in 2007.   Also the Trump Oval will never allow Iran to become a nuclear armed power, it would be a massive threat to the region.   The Trump Oval has to make it clear to Iran, that if it does this, it will be crossing a read line and the US will take harsh military action, one that could bring down the Regime.  Also should Iran attack US CITIZENS or ASSETS the Oval has make it clear that the reaction could be the release the furies, one that Iran could never defend against.  Very tense days ahead, what will Iran do?

Trump will the release the furies if US attacked - Signs of War Part 2 - Middle East

Sky News: Reports " Trump warns the US may act 'disproportionately' if Iran attacks American people or target "

Lets Get Real

POTUS is making it very CLEAR if Tehran reacts to the removal of its terrorist General then the US will act in disproportionately manner, this will go down well with the US voter and place the Democrats and the liberal press behind the 8 ball or snookered as way say in the UK.  The Trump Oval should do a Oval OFFICE address, make it plain to Iran, that if they kill or damage US assets that that will be the end of their tyrannical Regime.  POTUS has to mean and and follow through, that might cause Iran to pause, they must understand, if they ACT it could be over for them, total destruction.  It is better to be feared than laughed at!!

PM Boris on the death of General Soleimani - Signs of War Part 1 - Middle East

BBC News: Reports " Boris Johnson has said "we will not lament" the death of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, describing him as "a threat to all our interests"... Iraqi MPs call for foreign troops to leave. "

Lets Get Real:

The Iraqi resolution is not binding on the Iraqi PM and one can assume the US will placed heavy pressure on him to not to enforce it, as any removal of US troops could allow Daesh to come back and place the whole of IRAQ under threat from them, also Iran would make Iraq a pure satellite, that could cause a civil war within Iraq.   Thus far the West is still waiting for Iran to do SOMETHING, the appeasing press of the West have gotten their knickers in a twist, they believe every word out of Tehran but question the removal of Soleimani, the worse is CNN and the BBC.    If this was World War 2, they would have been closed down, as supporting the enemy.  The new Conservative Government should SELL the BBC or make it a subscription format, the BBC has learned nothing from the General Election, and CNN has lost the plot ages ago with the election of Trump in 2016. If Tehran was clever it would do NOTHING, Trump is not playing about, he will react with the furies if Iran hits US TROOPS OR ASSETS. 

The Ratings for the 1st Part of Spyfall, in the New Doctor Who Season and a Review of the two parts - NO Spoilers

A bit of light relief from the politics = Doctor Who 

Doctor Who News: Reports " Doctor Who Spyfall Part One, was watched by an average of 4.88 million viewers, 21.6% of the total TV audience at the time.  "

Lets Get Real:

The first part was great, you had spies being killed and C head of MI6 calling on the Doctor, it was fun to see C not know that the Doctor has changed to a female incarnation, then he got shot, very brutal for Doctor Who.   The Doctor and her companions went on separate missions, this allowed the main cast to have different adventures, while the Doctor meet a former Agent known as O ( the Doctor, Graham and O were attacked by aliens ), the Doctor discovered that they came from a different universe, but had spies all around the globe.  The Doctor and his companions and O followed the human villain to his plane.  There is a major twist as O turned out to be ..... The plane's cockpit was blown up and the Doctor was kidnapped by aliens while the Doctor's companions had to find their own way to land the plane, or at least that is what they thought!!

In the 2nd partner we learned more about O, well in fact he is no O.   The Doctor was miss placed in different time zones, 1834 and 1943 Paris.  O was present.   The Doctor meet real life characters, after you see the 2nd part you should google them, in Doctor Who you always learn something.  At the of the show we see the Doctor's home planet, it has been destroyed by O, well that what he claimed, the Doctor was angry at the news and went home and found that O has spoken the truth, a developing thread for the series.   The two parts were great, dramatic, horror in places, but also funny, but also a nod to the classic series and Tom Baker's final episode.   The Doctor kicked but, used her mind, one can hardly see this Doctor throwing a left hook, she is not the 12 Doctor.  A must see for fans, the Doctor is BACK. 

The Labour LEFT opposes the US Military Action in Iraq - The signs of War Part 3 - Middle East Crisis

Daily Mail: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn condemns 'US assassination' of top Iranian general calling it a 'dangerous escalation, bringing further misery to the region' as Labour leadership hopefuls fall over themselves to criticise Donald Trump "

Lets Get Real:

This is ONE of the reasons that Jeremy Corbyn LOST the 2019 General Election, the UK voters did not trust him with the security of the UK, the Corbyn Era has seen the Labour Party drift to the left, believing Putin and his spin and relationships with some very dubious groups and people.    The PM is on holiday at the moment, he should consider coming home, the issue not be allowed to be handled by the FCO, if is full of appeasers.  The UK should stand behind the US, whatever action is taken by the US when it comes to Iran.  One can only hope that IRAN is wise enough not to take action, the Trump OVAL is looking for a reason to finish off the the Tehran Regime. 

US tells its Citizens to flee Iraq by air or land routes - The signs of War 2 - Middle East Crisis

Sky News: Reports "  The US embassy in Baghdad has urged American citizens to depart Iraq immediately "via airline while possible, and failing that, to other countries via land".  "

Lets Get Real:

If Iran does react to the assassination of General Soleimani it could be the worse foreign policy it has ever made, the Trump Oval wants to divert the US voter from the on coming impeachment Trial and to make sure moderate Senate Republicans do not bail on the President.  The Republican base will support this action by POTUS, while in general US voters can be expected to support a strong President.  The President should make a Oval Office Address on the issue.  It would frame the narrative.  It would show a strong  President, taking on the enemies of the US. 

Top Iranian Terrorist Killed - The signs of War Part 1 - Middle East Crisis

BBC News: Reports " Iran's most powerful military commander, General Qasem Soleimani, has been killed by a US air strike in Iraq.  "

Lets Get Real:

It seems that Trump has finally taken the gloves off when it comes to Iran, before the air strike that lead to the US Embassy attack Trump had been appeasing IRAN, but with having been impeached by the Democratic House the Trump Oval wants to be known for something else, what about finishing off the Tehran Government, that would be a noble and noteworthy event, the question is how will Tehran react the assassination of its top terrorists, if he was wise it would let it go, as it can be postulated that POTUS is looking for a reason to wage WAR on Iran, and finish off a threat that has lasted since 1979.  Any life is a LOSS, but this blog will not be crying in its tea over General Soleimani, he was a arch terrorist that has cost the lives of hundreds of US troops in Iraq and was cancer on the Middle East. 

The Sign Post to War - Part 2 - Middle East

Sky News: Reports " US deploys 750 troops after attack on its embassy in Iraq..Donald Trump blames Iran for the protests and has called on Iraq to protect the diplomatic mission. "

Lets Get Real:

If POTUS wants to send a message to Iran, he needs to send more troops to Iraq and Syria, and increase the US Naval Fleet in the Gulf, then have a clear and direct message to Tehran, anything else that hurts US interest, then the US will place the blame on Iran and take direct military action, it will be harsh, long and severe, that should get the Tehran Regime to listen, without the need to take actual military action.   Fear goes a long way!! When Reagan made a threat he carried it through, strong Presidents are respected, weak ones just get one term as President.  Or lose respect when they do not carry through a threat as with the case of Obama when it came to the WMD used by Syrian Regime. 

The SIGN POSTS to WAR between the US and Iran - New War? - Middle East Crisis

BBC News: Reports " US embassy attack: Trump threatens Iran over violent protest in Iraq "

Lets Get Real:

Are we seeing the sign posts to a military confrontation between the US and Iran, the Tehran Regime has been pressing its luck, it took down a US drone, and then attack Saudi Arabia.  Thus latest attack on a US Embassy reminds the US of 1979 and the 444 days of hostages taken by Iran.  If you POTUS and you have been impeached by a Democratic Congress you might think a WAR with IRAN might just suit you, the appeasement of North Korea has not worked, Russia sees you as its play thing, due to the fact that you have not responded to its actions over the 2016 Presidential Election.  Thus a one way war with Iran just might work, you can not afford for it to go nuclear, that is the problem with North Korea, they have shown that they can not be trusted, what do they have in store in the New Year.  No one wants War but appeasement is WORSE, just look at the late 1930s in Europe.  Time for POTUS to take action or been seen as another Carter Mark 2.
