Carson says NO Muslim US President - Election 2016

CNN - Politics: Reports " ...Carson's business manager, Armstrong Williams, told CNN that Carson was not trying to "hurt or offend" but came to his conclusion about Islam "because of his love for America."

Lets Get Real:

Dr Ben Carson has shown that he is unfit to be President of the United States, his view that there should never be a Muslim Candidate for President is RACIST, in the past the argument has been used against a Catholic President or a African - American President.  So both Carson and Trump have shown that they are unfit for the Presidency, Bush does not have the fire in the belly, while Florina has never been elected to office.   Thus we could be left with ONLY HRC having the ability and the fire in the belly to want the Oval Office, politics is a funny old business. 

Not A Good Weekend if your named Jeremy Corbyn - Labour Crisis

Telegraph: Reports "  Jeremy Corbyn's 'shame' over Queen slur..Labour leader forced to quit Stop the War Coalition after attack on Royal family  "

Lets Get Real:

No wonder Jeremy Corbyn had to be talked in to running for the Labour leadership, he must have what the press would do to his policies and his private life.    That is the problem if you live in political bubble, only talking to people who agree with you and not having any real power.  It can be argued that Corbyn is Leader of the Labour Party of two, himself and his Chancellor.   The rest of the Labour MPs are waiting to see how he acts during the Labour Party conference, do the polls go up for Labour, or worse do they go down.   You are never to old to learn, but one doubts Corbyn can see the real world, his bubble has been his world, that World has gone with his election, reality is VERY DIFFERENT. 

Labour SPLIT over Syria - Syrian Crisis

Guardian: Reports " Labour could back Syria strikes despite Corbyn opposition, says Hilary Benn..Shadow foreign secretary says MPs will make decision on whether to support airstrikes after prime minister has set out his proposals "

Lets Get Real:

Well Shadow Cabinet unity has gone out of the window, even being loyal to the leader.   The election of Jeremy Corbyn has shown the splits of Labour Party, between their MPs and the those that belong to the Labour Party.    It is Political conference week in the UK, first is the Liberal Democrats, they are stuck in their own world!!  While the Trade Unions will have a bigger role in policy when the Labour Party has its conference, one wonders how long Corbyn will last, this blog has argued that the flash point could come in the New Year, if the polls are still dire the MPs might move for a coup.    The clock is near 12 for the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, could be  the shortest term leader the Labour Party has ever had.

Is Doctor Ben Carson a racist? - Election 2016

BBC News: Reports " US Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson says he does not believe a Muslim should become president. "

Lets Get Real:

The above remark is racist, one will be interested to see if the liberal press in the US go after Carson because of the remark, the liberal press is loathed to go after African - Americans if they say something racist, of course the exception could be if its a Republican African - American.   This blog had moved to support Dr Carson after the last debate, that is revoked, one should judge a candidate for President by his or her character, not the colour of their skin or what faith the follow.   Thus this blog is going back to supporting Jeb Bush, just wish Bush had more fire in the belly.   Otherwise at the end if its a choice between Trump or Clinton, this blog will support HRC. 

Doctor Who Review - The Magician's Apprentice

Doctor Who News: Reports " 4.58 million watched Doctor Who, The Magician's Apprentice in the UK, according to unofficial overnight viewing figures.  "

Lets Get Real:

What a cracker of a start, a child in a handfield, in other words a minefield, and he shouts for help, then the Doctor arrives, and is helping when he asks the name of the child, the kid answers Davros, then the Doctor does a runner.   What a morale problem for the Doctor, the creator of the Daleks before he become evil.   The shame of the Doctor showed, that was a great piece of acting by Peter Capaldi, he thought this must be the end, if the Doctor is not a hero he is nothing!  The Doctor thought his time had come, he was in hiding, then the Missy called, ( The Master, calling the Master Mistress would be so WRONG IN ANY context ) Then we saw Missy and Clara biting the bullet from a Dalek, also the TARDIS, are they dead, is the TARDIS gone, of course not, when the Tardis is under attack it goes in to flight mode.    This review has tried to keep the spoilers to low numbers, but its hard, the entire show is a spoiler.   Can not wait for next week.

New Policy towards Syria - Syrian Crisis

BBC News: Reports on remarks of US Secretary of State John Kerry on the role of Russia in Syria, "Speaking after talks in London, he said what he described as Russia's new focus on fighting Islamic State militants could be an opportunity to push towards a political settlement. "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians want to keep Assad in power, the West is more concerned with defeating Daesh at the moment, thus both Russia and the US and its allies have a common enemy, the Western allies will accept that Assad or his regime will remain in power, the Russians want to keep their only warm water port.   The Russians have moved in tanks, and aircraft to defend the Assad position, if the Russians are going to do this anyway the West might as well take the offer up to combine forces to get rid of Daesh.    The problem of Assad will have to be dealt with but it can wait, if and when Daesh is removed the West can place pressure on Assad to have a stable Country, thus the return of refugees.   These developments will take time, the defeat of Daesh has to be the number one aim for the West, the rest can wait. 

The raise of Carly - 2016 Election

BBC News: Reports on the Republican Presidential Debate at the Ronald Reagan Library, it notes the following on Carly Florina,  " She proved she belonged on the big stage. And could she prove to be Trump's kryptonite? "

Lets Get Real:

The best time to consider a debate result is after a good night sleep, as the debate was on at a early morning in the UK, this blogger watched the first hour then later in the morning, the question this blogger asked is what could I recall of the debate.    In the view of this blogger the best lines came from Trump and Bush, when they were asked what would be their Secret Service codename, Bush went with Eveready, while Trump went with Humble. In many respects this shows what the candidates were really think, Bush looked more on form last night, like he had fresh batteries, going after Trump for bringing in his wife in to the debate about immigration.  While Trump it can be argued was trying not to look an ego maniac, it worked for the debate.   On the verdict of the BBC on Carly Florina she could be a real contender, lets see the polls after a few days, while Dr Carson was his quite self.
