New North Korean Test - North Korean Crisis

BBC News: Reports " The White House said the medium-range missile had a shorter range than those used in North Korea's last three tests. "

Lets Get Real:

The North Koreans it seems have dismissed the concerns of their big ally China, they are carrying on with their missile tests, the question is how long before they can place a nuclear warhead on top of a missile.   The North Koreans Regime watches the news, it sees that Trump is in BIG TROUBLE at home when it comes to Russia, thus if feels it has a free hand to act, as the Trump Oval now faces a Special Prosecutor it will be harder for Trump to act, any actions will be seen as being used to divert attention from the problem, thus internal US problems will have major effects on US Foreign Policy.   As an example Watergate overshadowed the War in South Vietnam in the 1970s.

New Poll - Labour increase Support - Campaign Trail 44 - GE2017

UK Polling Report: Reports " YouGov’s weekly poll for the Sunday Times has topline voting intention figures of CON 44%(-1), LAB 35%(+3), LDEM 9%(+1), UKIP 3%(-3). "

Lets Get Real:

ONLY a 9 point lead for the Conservatives, the Labour manifesto was more successful than the Conservative one, the Labour promise to keep the old age benefits has hit Tory support. The Conservative Party needs to regroup, it should stress that the care reforms are only ideas and that the Conservative Government IF elected would listen to its MPs.   If you are running the election campaign for the Tories you have to stress that the rich are the only ones that will be means tested, in fact poorer OAP's will get more money.   Also stress that Labour wants tax hikes, and the Middle Class would be hit, thus the Party has to stress that Corbyn will not defend the UK, as PM his orders would be followed by our nuclear fleet should a WAR break out, he will not defend the UK by giving the order to launch.   The Conservatives have to hit CORBYN hard. 

Extremis - Doctor Who Review

Doctor Who News: Reports " - Extremis achieved an overnight viewing audience of 4.16 million viewers, a share of 22.7% of the total TV audience, according to unofficial figures. This figure is up on last week's, where Oxygen achieved 3.57m(20%). "

Lets Get Real:

This blog is always honest when it comes to Doctor Who, it watched it after a night out, thus what a baffling episode, IT seem to be two stories in one, how people are just a computer games and are not real and that Missy ( Master ) is in the vault.  This blog will have to watch the show again, because at the end the only thought that came to mind was WTF.  If we are all the dream of a mighty being that being needs a shrink!!

Update:

Advice never watch the Doctor when drunk, drink muddles the mind, in essence we got the story of how Missy ended up in the vault, the Doctor would never kill Missy ( He has had many chances over the years, and River would not be happy) Then we got the heart of the story, the Doctor was sent an email, this lead to Rome, the Oval Office, CERN, ( spoilers ) it was great seeing the actors get the fact that they were not real, but even when not real the Doctor is still a threat, good old email.   This was the first part of three, what do next, watch when drunk or wait for Sunday and a great treat of Doctor Who.  ONE does hope that Bill does not leave after the Doctor's regeneration.   This has been a great season, people out there stop watching bloody reality shows, grow up and watch Doctor Who. 

The Russian Probe HITS the White House - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Meanwhile, the Washington Post reported that a current White House official is a significant person of interest in the investigation into links between the Trump campaign and Russia. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus are we heading for endless leaks, the appointment of a Special Prosecutor was suppose to make the investigation go quiet, thus we have the latest revelation, one can only hope that the Russian investigation does not take years and goes off on its own, very much like the Iran Contra Special Prosecutor.   The weekend in D.C will be full of gossip as to who is in the sights of the Russian investigation and that person's relationship to the Trump.   A President Pence starts to look like  a good idea. 

The LATEST UK Polls - Conservatives LEAD Narrowing - Campaign 43 - GE2017

UK Polling Report: Reports " Ipsos MORI’s monthly political monitor came out today, with topline figures of CON 49%(nc), LAB 34%(+8), LDEM 7%(-6), UKIP 2%(-2).....YouGov, which showed topline voting intention figures of CON 45%(-4), LAB 32%(+1), LDEM 8%(-1), UKIP 6%(+3).  "

Thus the Conservatives have a 15% to 13% lead in the polls, the gap is narrowing, the Labour Party has a manifesto that is popular, well their policies are popular if not the leader, while May is popular that can not be said for the Conservatives.   The Conservative manifesto hit the old, and the old vote, the Conservatives are trying to win in every part of the Country, but they should not forget their core vote, the Conservatives have to try harder, and think they could lose the election to Corbyn, the election is not in the bag for the Tories, they would be foolish to think so, its time to go harder on the attack when it comes to Jeremy Corbyn. 

Special Prosecutor for Trump Scandals - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " A former FBI boss, Robert Mueller, has been named special counsel to oversee an inquiry into Russia's alleged interference in the US election. "

Lets Get Real:

The Democrats have got what they wanted, but that could cause them problems, as it is expected that the Special Prosecutor will not show boat or leak.   Also what happens to the Congressional Investigations.   The House and Senate will want public hearings, those called might want immunity from prosecution, thus this could be granted by the US Congress, thus preventing charges coming from the Special Prosecutor.   Lets look at the record of Special Prosecutors, lets start with the most famous, Watergate, that lead in the end to the Resignation of Richard Nixon and many of his White House Staff in jail.  The next one is Iran - Contra, that was a failure, as the US Congress got in the way, gave immunity, when the Special Prosecutor tried to charge individuals they found that the Courts would not uphold any charges on appeal.   Also Bush 41 at the end of his Presidency gave a pardon those in the cross hairs of the prosecutor.   In the case of Bill Clinton, the prosecutor went after the affair of Bill Clinton with Monica Lewinsky, he was impeached by the House and found not guilty by the US Senate.  In the case of Bush 43, a staffer on the staff on of the VP was convicted not of the original crime but for having a bad memory, when the name of CIA agent was given to the public.   It can be argued that Trump should now control himself, no more tweets, no more threats, he should act Presidential, that means push his agenda, push the Congress to act on his Agenda, the OVAL should use the example of Bill Clinton who said he was working for the US people, 24/7, give the special prosecutor no problems, this could be a long investigation. 

The Conservative Manifesto - Campaign Trail 42 - GE 2017

Telegraph: Reports " Middle-class pensioners to lose benefits under Tory plan to fund social care "

Lets Get Real:

It has been noted by others that the UK welfare systems favours the older rich of the population, while the young get short end of the stick, and poor older people do not get the help they need.   It can be argued that the Middle Class have enjoyed good years under the Coalition Government and the Conservative Government, the fate of poor older people needs to be looked, why should older people be forced to sell their homes to get help, in the Conservative Manifesto there will be a block on forcing people to sell their homes.   The manifesto might not go down well older rich OAP's and they vote.   One can only hope that this new policy on the elderly does not cause Jeremy Corbyn to rise in the polls.   There are still a few weeks to go before the election.
