A Problem like Turkey - Turkish Protests

BBC News: Reports on the first death in the four days of protest in Turkey. 

Lets Get Real:

Since the start of the African/Arab Spring the Obama Oval has been slow, in Egypt the lack of US leadership has seen the Muslim Brotherhood take power, no friend of  Israel or the West in the long term, the Arab Spring has turned Syria in to a proxy War on many levels, from within the Islamic religion to proxy Wars between the West and Iran, the last thing that the Obama Oval wants is for Turkey to go the way of Egypt or Syria, the Syrian Civil War is causing internal problems within Jordan, the high level of refugees is staring to fracture Jordan Society,  the Syrian Civil War is pushing Lebanon back in to Civil War, just as it was getting back on its feet, lets recall Turkey is a NATO ally, and nominally a secular democratic State, thus the West has to see who these protesters are, the US in the end supported the protesters in Egypt, but in the elections the better structure of the Muslim Brotherhood allowed them to win the Presidency and the Parliament, thus folks its the same problem with Syria, at the start the protesters wanted freedom, the lack of Western action has allowed Al Qaeda to become the major resistance fighters in Syria, thus a problem for the West, before we throw the Turkish leadership under the bus lets see who would replace them folks.

No. 10 Sex Scandal, WHO, WHEN AND WHY


Lets Get Real:

It has been said that the Conservative Party has learned from Blair Era how to deal with personal scandals, well the basics are get ahead of the story, control the narrative, get every one on the same page, and get all the information out, this means not allowing this kind of scandal to grow, it is going to come out, one way or another, thus the No. 10 Communication Unit should get ahead of the story, if its a married couple, get them to agree to No.10 getting the story out to papers who tend to be Conservative supporters, thus give less political ammo to the left media, the Guardian, BBC, Mirror, you get the idea folks.   The more the delay the more chance it will come out on social media, one would assume its out already, that is the way these things work, control the story No. 10, be ruthless, that is the only way to win in this kind of story. 

No 10 SEX SCANDAL ?


Lets Get Real:

There is nothing that the newspapers love more than a juicy sex scandal, one would presume that there is a Conservative connection, God forbid a Liberal Democrat, we have heard enough from them of late, if you think about IT,  its the Liberal Democrats that have caused nearly ALL the major scandals,  from expenses to affairs, even one ex Cabinet Minister going to jail, so if its worse than that, the Coalition is in trouble, lets see who breaks the story first, and it will break folks, this kind of scandal does not keep under the bed covers for long, developing story folks. 

How DIRTY is Labour ? - Lobby Scandal

Guardian: Reports the following on the Sunday Times sting operation, " Labour peers stripped of party whip over lobbying allegations ".

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks we are back to the future, the above are just allegations, lets see if any wrong doing is confirmed, on the whole when it comes to scandals, its sex with the Conservatives and money with the Labour Party, some time back PM David Cameron stated that the lobby industry would be the next scandal, that is the problem when you have former, MP's or Cabinet Ministers who use their past history to help the private sector, they expect to be paid big bucks, and in business you want to get ahead of others in your sector, also in the days of New Labour the Labour Party was in bed with big business, thus Labour go to close to the MONEY, very hard to drink tea when you have had the finest wines, that is generic folks, the above just allegations and are under investigation, the noble Lords might have just made a PR mistake, and not broken any rules, we shall see, one can understand, if you had the finest lunch lunch in the Ritz in the Labour high of the 1990s, it can be hard to go back to Sid's Bar for a full breakfast, with old tea bags, that is the real world folks. 

Who is the NEXT Doctor ?- Doctor Who Review

BBC News: Reports that the 11th Doctor, Matt Smith is to give up his sonic screwdriver, thus search is on for a new Doctor.

Lets Get Real: 

Thus folks in the new era the good Doctor has been played by Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and of course Matt Smith, each great actors, who allowed the Doctor to develop for modern viewers, with the 9th Doctor we saw the start of the romance with Rose Tyler, then the full on tragic romance between the Doctor and Rose and his rebound relationship with his next companion, then there was Donna, a match for the Doctor, made him care, even to change history, then we come to the energy ball that is Matt Smith, one minute he was funny and nuts, then his sadness when he lost Amy and Rory, it showed the Doctor at his lowest.   Then we come to River, his wife, and yes River married a robot Doctor but it was controlled by the Doctor, he was married and he called her his wife, thus she was, just watch the Doctor and River in there final moment in the last episode, that was good drama, just happened to be Sci - Fiction, thus we come to the end of the 11th Doctor, it didn't feel the same without Amy and Rory, one gets the feeling that Clara is for the next Doctor, a new romantic companion, thus doubt the new Doctor will be a woman, Doctor Who is not a show to please Guardian readers, thus he has to be A BLOKE, with two hearts, but can be any colour, that is part of the history of the show, lets recall River in one incarnation was black, also River gave her future self's to the Doctor, thus why not a Black Doctor, take the show in new directions, but who ever plays the Doctor, has to be the DOCTOR, our mad hero, who would give Walter Bishop a run for his money.   The search starts folks.

The Benghazi EFFECT and Hillary Clinton - 2016

CNN - Politics: Reports on a new Quinnnipiac University Poll that shows that Hillary Clinton's favourable ratings have taken a hit, the article notes that the poll has found that Hillary gone from a 61% favourable rating down to 52%.

Lets Get Real:

The White House has thrown Hillary Clinton under the bus folks, someone has to take the fall for the Benghazi terrorist attack. the first US Ambassador killed in over 30 years, the emails released by the Obama White House shows the Clinton State Department had a role in white washing the policy of  the US after the attack.   The Clinton Camp has made a mistake when it stated that Hillary Clinton would not serve a 2nd term as US Secretary of State, the Clinton Camp can not divert attention, in essence Hillary Clinton does not have a job, if she does have a job it is running in 2016, this blog is starting to have doubts that she will run, there are to many weak spots in the Clinton Machine, the terrorist attack in Benghazi is the most major, the time for Hillary Clinton to have won the nomination was in 2008, she failed.   Although Mrs Clinton will be the same age as Ronald Reagan when he won his 1st Term, the harsh fact is that Hillary Clinton is NO Reagan, worse she is no Bill Clinton, her time might have just passed folks, political destiny is a cruel taskmaster, sometimes it only gives a candidate that once chance, that was 2008 for Clinton. 

Israel WARNS Russia OVER MISSILES - Syrian Update


Lets Get Real: 

One has doubts that Israel would try to take out the missiles as they were delivered by the Russians, it would mean taking on the Russians, lets be honest here, the modern Russia is NO USSR, but it still has a mighty bunch, also why get the Russian FSB angered, thus one can postulate that the Israeli Government would want the Mossad to run covert operations against the missiles or as Israel has done of late, place their planes in the air space Lebanon and try to take out the missiles that way, that is a risk, it has been reported that Assad has given the green light for his commanders to STRIKE Israel should Israel hit Syria again.    Thus folks once the missiles arrive in Syria expect more tension and a Israeli operation, it will happen folks, that is the way of the Middle East.
