ICBM of North Korea - North Korean Crisis

Fox News: Reports " Meanwhile, U.S. commercial satellite images indicated increased activity around North Korea’s nuclear test site, while Kim has said that the country’s preparation for an ICBM launch is in its “final stage.” "

Lets Get Real:

THIS North Korean Crisis is still on going, one can hope that China has placed enough pressure on NK for them not to test the Trump Administration to far.   The Trump Oval might think he has more of a free hand when it comes to the military, thus striking NK should it test a nuclear device or worse have a working ICMB that can reach the US.   The question is will NK really press that button, a ICBM test that works and is not thwarted by the US would be a major threat the the US seaboard.   The US has an aircraft Carrier in the region also subs, is the Senate meeting in the White House an attempt to get support for tough action by the Oval Office if China can not get NK to stand down.  Thus tense days ahead. 

Welsh Poll - Campaign Trail 11 - GE2017

UK Polling Report: Reports " YouGov have put out their first Welsh poll of the campaign, conducted for ITV Wales and Cardiff University. Topline figures, with changes from the previous YouGov Wales poll in January, are CON 40%(+12), LAB 30%(-3), LDEM 8%(-1), Plaid 13%(nc), UKIP 6%(-7). "

Lets Get Real:

This is a VERY GOOD poll for the Conservatives, they have a 10 point lead, BUT and there is a BUT, we have a six week election to go, the BBC/GUARDIAN types will try to soft peddle the Labour errors and press any problems with the Conservatives.   Thus the Conservative Party must be the Party of the Union, looking after the working man, those that manage week by week.   They must keep the lock on pensions, as old people vote, the young are stuck behind their smart phones and laptops.  Thus the Conservative Party in Wales must work HARDER, they must think they are 10 points behind, they have to hit those doors and ask for the people's vote.   They must accept that there is a real threat from a Corbyn Government. 

The North Korean Crisis - Update

BBC News: Reports " In an unusual move, the entire US Senate is being summoned to the White House for a briefing on North Korea. "

Lets Get Real:

This how serious the Trump Administration is about the North Korean Crisis, the Oval Office wants support from the HILL for its actions.  On the other hand this could be  a problem, you have a hundred Senators who think they would make a BETTER President than Trump and of course there is the personal dislike of the man.   President Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis had a Congressional meeting of the leaders of the Senate, it did not go well, the Leaders were very hawkish when it came to having Soviet missiles in Cuba.   Thus we shall see what support Trump gets from the Hill if any. 

Corbyn would ABANDON the UK's Defences - Campaign Trail 10 - GE2017

Guardian: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn casts doubt on Labour support for Trident..Labour leader will not commit to keeping nuclear deterrent in manifesto, and would think twice about strike on Isis leader "

Lets Get Real:

It is said that the 1983 Labour Manifesto was the longer political suicide note in history, well 2017 Manifesto might beat that, if Labour goes to the Country with the above kind of rubbish the election will more than a walk over, the Labour Party could be destroyed.   One wonders how those on the right of the Labour Party are going to stand as candidates if they have to support the UK getting rid of its nuclear missiles, even moderate left wingers will look aghast at the above ideas.   One can only hope that after the County Council elections that Corbyn is sacked by his Union supporters, otherwise the next election for Labour will be in 2030.

Corbyn would leave the UK Defenceless - Campaign Trail 9

Mail on Sunday: Reports " Corbyn's car crash interview: Labour leader would NOT bomb ISIS, wants to scrap Trident, and would withdraw British troops from Nato  "

Lets Get Real:

IF you want to keep the UK secure you can only make one moral choice, that is to VOTE Conservative, the Labour Party has gone extreme left and is over a cliff.   The UK under Corbyn would be a laughing stock, you might as well remove Great from GB.   This shows that the Labour Era under Tony Blair was superficial, that the Labour HEART never accepted New Labour, and in its heart of hearts has gone back to its favourite area, on the extreme left of the political spectrum.   The newspapers will slice and dice Corbyn over the next few weeks, it will not be pretty but it has to be done, it can be argued that Team Corby is a threat to the national security of the UK. 

The Polls - Campaign Trail 8 - GE2017

UK Polling Report: Reports " The ComRes poll has topline figures of CON 50%(+4), LAB 25%(nc), LDEM 11%(nc), UKIP 7%(-2), GRN 3%(-1)....YouGov‘s Sunday Times poll has topline figures for Great Britain of CON 48%(nc), LAB 25%(+1), LDEM 12%(nc), UKIP 5%(-2) ..."

Lets Get Real:

On the whole thus far the election looks good for the Conservatives, but Party HQ should take nothing for granted, the THREAT from Labour is real, the BBC and Guardian will be soft peddling their policies as they are fellow travellers.   The Conservative Party has to be the Party of lower taxes, supporting OAP's as they vote, and thus should keep the triple lock that increase money for the old, one major reason, the old go and VOTE.   The Young can not be bothered to leave their smartphones for a minute.   Also since half the population is female, the Conservative Party should stress that it has a female PM and a strong one at that, unlike the weak Labour Party. 

North Korea and the US - North Korean Crisis

BBC News: Reports " An American citizen has been detained in North Korea as he tried to leave the country, South Korean media say. "

Lets Get Real:

The North Koreans have a habit of this, they want the US to send a Special Envoy for talks, one would assume that they want President Clinton to visit again, he helped with the release of a hostage a few years ago.  The Trump Administration should ask the former President if he will go, but he must understand that if he goes there he is not there to start talks on the nuclear build up of North Korea, Jimmy Carter did that to Clinton in 1994, thus the bad deal that allowed the North to carry on with its nuclear development.  It would be a quick in and out job for the former President, if North Korea wants back channel talks it could start them through the offices of the former President.
