New Polls - Conservative lead is NARROW - Campaign Trail 18 - GE2017

UK Polling Report: Reports " YouGov’s weekly poll for the Sunday Times has topline figures of CON 44%, LAB 31%, LDEM 11%, UKIP 6%, GRN 2%....Opinium’s latest poll has topline figures of CON 47%(+2), LAB 30%(+4), LDEM 8%(-3), UKIP 7%(-2)....ORB poll in the Sunday Telegraph. Topline figures there are CON 42%, LAB 31%, LDEM 10%, UKIP 8%  " ( Please click for in depth review of the polls.)

Lets Get Real:

As the election has gone on the Conservatives have been losing support, the Conservatives have to stress what a disaster a Corbyn Government would be for the UK, it has to stress that the Unions would be back in charge, the defence of the UK would go through the window.  Taxes would go up for everyone, the UK would not leave the EU.   It might be time to review the idea of the PM doing the debates.   The Conservatives have to remember that the BBC and the Guardian is out to get the Conservatives, the Tories have to have one aim, the political destruction of Labour under Jeremy Corbyn.   It is useful to check the polls, they are just snap shots for the days they cover, but they do show a trend that Labour is gaining votes, that should concern Tory HQ, 

Media on POTUS - The Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " White House Correspondents' Dinner: 'We are not the enemy,' say press corps..In the absence of star guest Donald Trump, the usually celebrity-filled soiree took a more serious turn to focus on defence of journalistic freedom "

Lets Get Real:

Place a bunch of reporters in a room and they will convince themselves that they are the heros of the story, that the President has it in for them, okay Richard Nixon did have an enemies list, but that is the  exception.   The elite press believes it own press statements, a bad start, they are the 4th Estate, they drink from the same liberal water, they think alike, they covered up for President Kennedy when he was having his affairs.   The went after Nixon like he was the only President to break the law.  They were gushing over Obama, he could no wrong.   The press has to grow up and be FAIR, to both Parties!!  Otherwise the US voter will NOT trust them when they should, no is no wonder that the press have such a low approval rating. 

POTUS on North Korea - North Korean Crisis

Mail on Sunday: Reports " 'I will not be happy': Trump warns North Korea against another nuclear test while refusing to rule out military response in wake of Kim's failed missile launch  "

Lets Get Real:

One can only hope that China is placing 100% pressure on North Korea, after the missile failure NK might think it needs to send a message, thus a nuclear test, this would force the US to act, otherwise it would be seen as a victory for North Korea.   The Trump Oval has to give China time, but not to much, China also has to get the message, that the Obama days are over and a new President will take action.  A nuclear war in Asia would be a disaster at any time, but North Korea with an ICBM is a threat to the US homeland.  It has been suggested that by 2020, the year of Trump's re-election campaign that North Korea will have a working ICBM, that would be a disaster for Asia and for the election prospects of Trump, thus expect something to break, in this game there can only be one winner. 

POTUS and the Media - The 100 Day Mark

BBC News: Reports " US President Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on the media during a rally marking 100 days in office. "

Lets Get Real:

The relationship between POTUS and the press is at a all time low, they loath each other, there is no respect between the Oval Office and the press.   The press was in the tank for Hillary Clinton 2016, they are still in state of shock that someone like Trump could be the successor to their President, former President Obama.   The press are the liberal elite of US Society, they have one agenda, LIBERAL, thus Republican Presidents never get fair treatment.  The press will never give praise to Trump, or if they have too it is through closed teeth.   On the other hand, Trump does not understand that the press is the fourth Estate, they are there to keep D.C honest, well as honest as it can be, thus they are extra tough on Republicans.   Thus the WAR carries on, 

Thin Ice - Doctor Who Review

Doctor Who News: Reports " Doctor Who - Thin Ice had an overnight viewing audience of 3.76 million viewers, a share of 20.4% of the total TV audience, according to unofficial figures.  "

Lets Get Real:

This was a cracking episode, the Doctor and Bill were on great from, they argued about the Doctor's reaction to death, to go on the next thing, while Bill asked all the questions a Time Traveller would ask.   The THREAT ( no spoilers ) was more human than alien, it showed the racism of the period, and the Doctor was allowed to give a great speech, on the value of life.   Okay he hat hit the enemy with a left hook, but in context it could be understood.  The Doctor was not above forgery for  a good cause, the question is what is in the vault.  People start to watch this season, it is the best yet, the Doctor needs you, those BBC have to see that there is a viewership for the Doctor and the Tardis. 

Is the Conservative lead SHRINKING - Campaign Trail 17 - GE2017

UK Polling Report: Reports " The latest YouGov/Times poll has topline figures of CON 45%(-3), LAB 29%(+4), LDEM 10%(-2), UKIP 7%(+2).  "

Lets Get Real:

AS this blog has warned the Conservatives can not take the General Election for granted, it must work as if it is 10 points behind, as stated the BBC ( a lot of voters watch it ) is soft peddling Labour aims, it has not stressed that Labour is all over the place on Brexit and has no real defence policy, it is pushing social issues.  The Conservatives should use the Council Elections as a trial run for its get out the vote strategy for June 8th.   The Conservatives have to stress low taxes, a good economy, a strong defence and a clean Brexit.   Conservative HQ has allowed Labour to gain 4 points, they have to be hit harder. 

POTUS on North Korea - North Korean Crisis

BBC News: Reports " US President Donald Trump has said he would like to solve the North Korea crisis diplomatically, but that a "major, major conflict" is possible. "

Lets Get Real:

The Trump Oval is trying two paths, the diplomatic and the military, it is giving credit to China in its pressure on North Korea, one has to ask is China trying hard enough, it could bring the regime to its knees tomorrow, cut off the lights and banking, but so far it has not, and also it is still trading as a BBC piece yesterday showed.   The Oval is making it clear that it wants ALL of North Korea's nuclear material and devices, but does not want to change the Regime.   The question is will Kim Jong-un the young leader understand that this is his get out route and also a way to save face.   Of course Pyongyang might recall that Iraq stated it had no nuclear weapons in 2003 and was not believed by the US or the rest of the World, thus the 2nd Gulf War and the fall of the regime.  Tricky times in Asia.

No TV Debates - Campaign Trail 16 - GE2017

Guardian: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn will not take part in TV debate without Theresa May..Corbyn’s spokesman says it is extraordinary that PM feels unable to face debate with leader of ‘only other possible government "

Lets Get Real:

Jeremy Corbyn is a FOOL, he has fallen in to the Conservative TRAP, the Conservatives can now say that since Corbyn will not appear with the other opposition candidates then the PM will not appear.   The Corbyn Campaign better up its game or it will go down to the biggest defeat in UK political history, the UK will become a ONE PARTY state in till 2030.  The Conservatives have to stress that Corbyn is a risk to national security, that he would rise the taxes of the people, that it is always the Middle Class that get hit when there is a Labour Government.  Also he will betray the EU vote in 2016, Corbyn is the best asset the Conservatives have at the moment. 

Is North Korea planning for WAR ? - North Korean Crisis

Daily Mail: Reports " Kim prepares for war: North Korean leader takes the salute as his army fires rockets and torpedoes at mock enemy warships during country's 'largest ever' live-fire artillery drills  "

Lets Get Real:

With both the US and North Korea doing War drills it only takes a mistake to start a war, the US and South Korea have to be careful that they do not talk themselves in to War, the worry is that North Korea takes the US drills as the first stages of war planning.  Of courses the US and South Korean drills can not be called off, that would be what North Korea wants and blackmail would win, the US and South Korea should increase it defence skills, make clear that the US and its allies will do what it takes to defend the alliance in Asia.  The Trump Oval should be on the phone to China, telling them they need to be even tougher on North Korea. On the UK's news shows stated that the North Korean Crisis could be compared to the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, IF it is its a slow Crisis, lets hope it remains below boiling. 

New Polls - Conservative LEAD - Campaign Trail 15 - GE2017

UK Polling Report: Reports " The Standard released their first Ipsos MORI poll of the campaign today. Topline figures with changes from MORI’s last pre-campaign poll are CON 49%(+6), LAB 26%(-4), LDEM 13%(nc), UKIP 4%(-2)...Panelbase also put out their first campaign poll today. Topline figures there are very much in line with other companies, with topline figures of CON 49%, LAB 27%, LD 10%, UKIP 5% "

Lets Get Real:

Thus two polls that have the Conservative Party on 49%, that is not a bad start for a six week Campaign.  It will be interesting to see the polls after the political parties release their manifestos, that might effect the polls, the Labour Party has a MAJOR PROBLEM, the leader does not support having nuclear weapons and would never use them if he become the PM.   The Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats support the UK having its nuclear weapons, thus Labour offers a good target over the next six weeks, the UK voter wants to be protected from the likes of North Korea, and thus do not trust LABOUR, no matter how much the put up the wages of Nurses and Doctors.  On the whole a good week for the Conservatives. 

North Korean Update - North Korean Crisis

BBC News: Reports " The US military's top commander in the Pacific has said an advanced missile defence system in South Korea aims to bring North Korean leader Kim Jong-un "to his senses, not to his knees". "

Lets Get Real:

The hope by the Trump Administration is that North Korea gets a clear message, this far and no further when it comes to its testing of nuclear devices and its ICBM's.   The problem is that North Korea might have stopped listening even to its biggest ally in the region, China.   It is interesting to postulate what North Korea wants, does it want direct talks with the US, does it want food for its people, thus far in public North Korea has been quiet on that issue.   Of course the taking of American hostages could be a crude attempt to get the US to talk to it directly, to show that a nuclear powered North Korea can make even the might US listen.   Thus it would be interesting to send Former President, Bill Clinton to Asia, that might happen to contain a visit to North Korea, this could lead to back channel talks. 

New Poll - Campaign Trail 14 - GE2017

UK Polling Report: Reports " Kantar put out a new poll today..Topling figures are CON 46%, LAB 24%, LDEM 11%, UKIP 8%, GRN 4% "

Lets Get Real:

This is another good poll for the Conservatives, there have been a couple of them, BUT, a single poll does not make victory, it is snapshot of voters on a given day, thus Conservative HQ and Conservative supporters have to carry the message, the Labour Party could win with a small turnout, thus as stated many times in this blog the Party has to get its base out, and also those that want a hard Brexit, let's get it done, the Labour Party is all over the place, it is hard to place Corbyn's previous comments within the present policy, he does not think there should be immigration controls, thus in essence the Labour Party has a policy while the leader has been very quiet today.   The UK voters want stable and strong leadership, the Labour Party would be the coalition of the left and the extreme left, with SNP controlling the strings. Thus only one vote counts, that is a Conservative VOTE. 

The Labour Policy on EU FALLS APART - Campaign Trail 13

Telegraph: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn faces new split over immigration as Keir Starmer says free movement must end "

Lets Get Real:

The Labour Party is ALL OVER the place when it comes to the EU, it is split by a MP majority who want to reverse the 2016 vote, and a minority who want to leave the EU, while a majority of its voters also want to leave.   The London centric view of the Labour Campaign could lead to its downfall in the 2017 General Election.   It can be postulated that its leader is really a outer but stuck with a MPs who want in and would be rather run by the EU.   If the Labour Party wants to avoid destruction in the polls it must get away from London and talk to real voters. 

POTUS and the the US Senate - North Korean Crisis

Guardian: Reports " Donald Trump summons entire Senate to White House briefing on North Korea..Extraordinary step taken as administration pressures UN security council for full force of existing sanctions and further measures in event of nuclear test "

Lets Get Real:

IF the Trump Oval want to be tough on North Korea, it is a good idea to get the Senate over, they will leak as soon as the meeting ends.   The Oval should stress that the US can not allow another nuclear test, or a ICBM test that works.  A nuclear powered North Korea with a ICBM that holds a nuclear device would be a threat to Asia and the US.   China of late has been very helpful, they do not want a nuclear war going on in their backyard, radiation does not care about land borders, thus China must be the BAD COP, threaten the Regime, turn of its lights if it will not listen.   China can not allow the impression to grow that it is weak in the face of North Korea's game playing, that would be an internal threat.  Of course once the US and South Korean War games finish the tensions in the region could return to normal, of course that depends if North Korea understands the hard messages from China and the US. 

Labour Surrenders to the EU - Campaign Trail 12 - GE2017

Daily Mail: Reports " Labour's Brexit plans collapse in hours as Keir Starmer admits free movement COULD continue and Tory MPs accuse him of 'surrender' to Brussels "

Lets Get Real:

THIS confirms that the Labour Party wants to overturn the 2016 vote and place the UK at the mercy of the EU and its Judges.   The Conservative Party should stress that the Conservative Party will follow the will of the UK voter, the UK will be out of the single market and the Customs Union, that UK law will be decided by UK Judges, that Immigration will be controlled by the UK.  The good fishermen of the UK can fish in UK waters without having to worry about the EU.   The UK can make trade deals with other Countries that benefits the UK and the other Countries.   It is time for the Conservative Party to hit Labour HARD over its EU stand. 

US Sub arrives in South Korea - North Korean Crisis

BBC News: Reports " A US submarine has arrived in South Korea, amid worries of another North Korean missile or nuclear test. "

Lets Get Real:

One hopes that North Korea has gotten the point, that the US and its Allies will not allow them to test a nuclear device or develop a working ICBM.   The US now has a aircraft Carrier and a nuclear sub in the region, IF NK does test and it is a threat to the US or South Korea the US could either hit before or after a test.  The Pyongyang Regime and its reckless leader need to pull back, the Donald has found it is easier in to move in the military field than on the domestic front.  China an ally of NK has to be firm, if need be it should shut down the lights in North Korea or replace the Regime that understands its role, a buffer zone between China and the Western ally South Korea.   This Crisis is not over yet, developing.

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. 

Smile - Doctor Who Review

Doctor Who News: Reports " Smile had an overnight viewing audience of 4.25 million viewers, a share of 22.9% of the total TV audience, according to unofficial figures.  "

Lets Get Real:

This episode was not as great as last weeks, the resolution could have been done with a few minutes, not 42 minutes.  The Robots were far to small, they were sweet, not really a threat to the Doctor and Bill.  It was nice to learn why the Doctor was stuck on Earth, what has he done, and one can guess it was the Time Lords that made him stay on Earth, it would not be the first time.   The character of Bill is developing, always questioning the Doctor, the good Doctor has been slow to tell her that he is a Time Lord thus with the right to action when others do not.    It was fun to see the colony residents reacts the normal human way, guns first and start firing.   The Doctor of course wanted talks, and after getting rid of the threat the Robots started to see the humans as a cash cow, that bit was fun.  I am looking forward to the next episode, set in Victorian London. 

POTUS and ObamaCare - Trump Era

The New York Times: Has the following on its Editorial on Trump and ObamaCare, " Mr. Trump is threatening to kill a program in the A.C.A. that pays health insurers to offer plans with lower deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses to about seven million lower-income and middle-class people. The president thinks that this will get Democrats to negotiate changes to the 2010 health law.  "

Lets Get Real:

At the end of the day, President Trump WON the election, not Hillary Clinton, the Democrats have been saying NO to all the policies coming out of the Oval Office.  The Trump Administration should knife ObamaCare in the back, force the Democrats to the table, if they want to save aspects of ObamaCare well they have to talk to the Oval Office.  At present ObamaCare is on a nosedive, the insurance companies are getting out, in some States they are no insurance companies for middle class or the poor, thus it needs reform, the Trump Administration wants to talk, the Democrats should take up their offer or else ObamaCare will get steel shoes and will dive like the Titanic. 

The North Korean Threat - North Korean Crisis

Telegraph: Reports " North Korea warns of 'super-mighty pre-emptive strike' and threatens to turn US 'to ashes' "

Lets Get Real:

Thus far the North Korean Crisis has been a WAR of WORDS, the North Koreans threaten and the US moves its military up, the sending of an aircraft carrier and subs is a good message.  One has to ask what is the point, as far as we know the US has not promised to give food or money to North Korea, in less they have allowed China to be the Middle Man and to keep it under cover, so what does North Korea get out of these threats, it must know that any real attack on the allies of the US and North Korea is toast, the Regime would be removed, North Korea would be united with the South and China could face refugees in the millions.   Thus why the threats, the US has been clear, there is a new Sheriff in town, and he is no President Obama.   Thus one can take the risk and postulate that his crisis is over for the moment.   The area would become tense should North Korea test another nuclear device or come close to a miniature nuclear warhead, then the Trump OVAL would be forced to ACT. 

The Left Wing Guardian and the Remainers - Camp Trail 7 - GE2017

Guardian: Reports " EU leader: UK would be welcomed back if voters overturn Brexit..Exclusive: European parliament president Antonio Tajani says process could easily be reversed if election brings in new British government "

Lets Get Real:

THIS is the left wing Guardian trying to reverse the will of the UK Voter, they are more interested in keeping the EU happy than the UK voter.   The UK voter can expect more of these kind of stories, the left wing press is treating the UK voter liking a senile OLD PERSON, who does not understand what is right for them.   One can expect the BBC tone not to change much, they were on the attack yesterday asking why the PM would not take parts in DEBATES.   The Conservatives have no friends in the BBC and the Guardian, they are the political enemies of the Government, thus the Party has to act if the they are level or behind Labour, full on attack on CORBYN and the LABOUR PARTY. 

New Poll - Campaign Trail 6 - GE2017

UK Polling Report: Reports " The Times’s first YouGov poll since the election was called has topline figures of CON 48%(+4), LAB 24%(+1), LDEM 12%(nc), UKIP 7%(-3). "

Lets Get Real:

This looks good for the Conservative Party, but and there is always a but, this is the start of the process, lets see what the polls are like by the end of next week, the left wing BBC and the Guardian will try to push pro Labour stories, they will try to undercut the Government. Also there is a difference between a poll done just after a election is announced and one done after the Campaigns have been doing their Campaigns for a bit.  One will be interesting to see if Corby can GET any traction, of course what is interesting is the first round of the French Election is soon, the extreme left wing candidate is polling well, will that appeal hit the UK, one never knows, that is why the Conservatives have to be on their guard, they have to act as if Labour and they are tied, never think you have won it in till its over. 

The Conservative Manifesto - Camp Trail 5 - GE2017

Daily Mail: Reports " Tory manifesto will guarantee end of free movement, UK to leave single market and no more meddling by Euro judges as May issues her cast-iron Brexit pledges  "

Lets Get Real:

This is the 2nd chance for those that want to leave to the EU to confirm their vote of 2016. The Conservative Party will confirm the will of the UK voter, the Labour Party is confused, even now some say they support a 2nd vote while Jeremy Corbyn says no 2nd vote but wants a SOFT Brexit, in other words the UK would still be under the EU Judges.  The UK voter has a chance in this election to show that the 2016 vote was not a mistake but the will of the British people.  Except soft peddling by the BBC and the Guardian, they are fellow travellers, LEFT.   Thus another month of this voter!!!

PM May on Immigration - Campaign Trail 4 - GE2017

BBC News - Live Reporting: Reports the following in its 5.04pm post, " Theresa May has restated her commitment to cutting annual net migration to a "sustainable" level in the tens of thousands...." We want to see sustainable net migration in this country. I believe that sustainable net migration is in the tens of thousands. Leaving the European Union enables us to control our borders in relation to people coming from the EU, as well as those who are coming from outside." "

Lets Get Real:

The Conservative Party will cut immigration from the EU and other parts of the World, the law of the land will be dealt by the Houses of Parliament, the final say on UK law will be set down by the UK Supreme Court.  IF you want the EU to decide the above just vote for the opposition Parties.   The May Government will be tough with the EU when it comes to Brexit, while the Opposition Parties want to overturn the 2016 EU vote.  The Conservative Party is CLEAR on this, while the elite press of the BBC/Guardian are fellow travellers, as in LEFT.   The worse nightmare for the middle class would be Corbyn as PM, your taxes would go up, it never the rich that pay, and there would be endless immigration.   Thus there is only one Party to vote for if you want sanity. 

May and the TV Debates - Campaign Trail 3

Telegraph: Reports " Theresa May agrees to BBC Question Time-style question and answer televised election debate but not head-to-head with rival leaders "

Lets Get Real:

The PM should be firm when it comes to TV debates, the answer is NO, it is an event that is not under the control of the Party and gives air times to the Opposition, the Opposition have only one target, that is the sitting PM.   The No 10 press office should consider ONE Debate, then leave it up to the TV channels to decide who gets the debate, more than one and it turns in to weekly TV bash against the Government.   The BBC/Guardian types have showed they are biased against the Government, so why place an X on your backside to be shot by political arrows by the TV press.   The PM should be firm, a big NO to more than one debate. 

Will Labour face a MASSIVE Defeat? - Campaign Trail 2

Guardian: Reports " The polls show historic defeat could be on the cards for Corbyn, but how historic? The Sun predicted a grisly end for the party "

Lets Get Real:

The LEFT will try to convince voters that they will not need to vote as the Conservative Party will win, this is called depressing the vote, this is strategy to help the Labour Party gain more votes, do not be fooled, any vote for Labour will bring in the SNP, who want a 2nd vote to leave the UK and the Greens, they want to ban cars!! ( That is a joke, I think ) The UK voter has only once choice if they want a secure and steady Government, the Conservatives will keep the UK's nuclear missiles, will delay any vote on Scotland leaving the UK.   The Conservatives will be tough on the EU when it comes to Brexit, the Labour Party will surrender to the EU, they will betray the EU vote of 2016.   Thus reader be careful of the left wing press, they are out to support Labour. 

UK General Election - Campaign Trail 1

Daily Mail: Reports " Theresa May warns Britain about a 'coalition of chaos' after Nicola Sturgeon says she would join a Labour coalition - but even Jeremy Corbyn insists he won't work with the SNP  "

Lets Get Real:

One of the Conservative messages through the GE2017 will be the fact if you vote for any other Party than the Conservatives you could end up with a Coalition Government of the Labour Party and the SNP, this argument worked in 2015, well why not 2017, the Labour Party is in a WORSE position now than it was in 2015, the Labour Leader Jeremy Corby is a no go area of UK voters, to left wing, tax and tax, weak on defence, he will get rid of the UK's nuclear missiles, he will take any deal offered by the EU.   IF Corbyn won, business would move, the UK economy would go down the toilet.   The Labour has a weak hand, most of Labour's MP's can not stand Corbyn, so how are they going to sell Labour when any vote for Labour places Corbyn in No 10.

China on North Korea - North Korean Tension

BBC News: Reports " China says it is seriously concerned about North Korean nuclear development, in the wake of a BBC interview with a top official from the North. "

Lets Get Real:

As stated in previous post about the UK General Election there are somethings a UK Government can not control while the election is on, thus we have North Korea, China is concerned that North Korea has stated to belief its own press statements and it can be postulated that China wants North Korea to open it eyes to the reality of the developing crisis.   IF North Korea launches a conventional or nuclear strike on US Allies in the Asian region the US will remove NK from the the face of the Earth. The NK Regime can cause major damage and deaths, but it can not win, one can only hope that China can bring NK to see the real World beyond its own press statements.   The Trump Administration is NOT the Obama Administration!!

The First Poll - UK General Election - Update 4

Guardian: Reports " The first poll published after the election announcement confirms the picture. The Guardian/ICM poll put the Conservatives on 44%, Labour on 26%, Ukip on 11, the Lib Dems on 10% and the Greens on 4%. "

Lets Get Real:

As stated the UK General Election of 2017 could be a WALKOVER, of as stated the unexpected happens, the Conservative Party has to get its vote out, it has to place the fear of God in to the Voters, do they want a PM Corbyn, NOT REALLY.   Thus expect business leaders to come out in support of the Conservative Government.   The Conservatives should stress security of the UK, and what would happen if Corbyn should win, that will have a few people out on the weekend needing a drink.  The Conservatives need to offer stability and that the UK is leaving the EU, and that old phrase means what it says, Brexit means Brexit.   The Labour Party will play the NHS card, they always do, it wont work but then they have no message that sells beyond a few London Elites.   Thus voter we have 7 weeks of this, this blogger will need a drink, and its only Tuesday.

North Korea Crisis - Update - The Trump Era

CNN - Politics: Reports " And for all its hawkish rhetoric, the Trump administration is also constrained by the delicate military balance that has prevailed on the Korean peninsula for 60 years. That arrangement makes a US strike designed to disable the North's missile programs seem unlikely. "

Lets Get Real:

In other words for all the fury coming of the Oval Office, the reality that the US will take real action is LOW, the Capital of South Korea is not that far from the border between South and North Korea, the North Koreans with conventional weapons could cause the death of hundred of thousands of South Koreans, also NK has the bomb, a nuclear device could hit South Korea and Japan.  Of course the US would finish off North Korea, that is not the point the death toll in Asia would be the point, China would be faced with hundred of thousands of refugees from North Korea, the death toll could be in the millions and that would include US citizens and Soldiers.  Thus it can be argued that the US will allow itself to be blackmailed once again for food or money, the real CRISIS POINT will come if North Korea ever has a working ICBM.  That would be a game changer, and make the Cuban Missile Crisis look like happy hour.

Hillary Clinton and the 2016 Campaign - The Trump Era

The New York Times: Reviews a new book on the Clinton Campaign, " ... the portrait of the Clinton campaign that emerges from these pages is that of a Titanic-like disaster: an epic fail made up of a series of perverse and often avoidable missteps by an out-of-touch candidate and her strife-ridden staff that turned “a winnable race” into “another iceberg-seeking campaign ship.”

Lets Get Real:

The 2016 US Presidential Election will go down in history, it was not meant to end like it did, it recalls that famous photo of President Truman showing the headline from a newspaper that stated that he had lost the election, he of course had won.   In 1960 there was the close election between Kennedy and Nixon, and the iffy ballots in two States, in 2000 Gore should have won but he lost Florida and did not win his own home State.   In 2016 nearly ALL the polls showed that Hillary Clinton would win, and become the first woman President.  Well in the end Trump won the rust belt States.  As a contributor on CNN stated that DATA does not vote, the Clinton Campaign thought it understood the election process and how to engage the voter, through tracking mass data, it was bad mistake to make.   The LIBERAL LEFT will always blame the Russians, or the FBI, what they can not see and refuse to see is the FACT that HRC was a bloody bad candidate, she thought she was owed the Oval Office by right, in fact the US voter said NO, and they said that NO in the rust belt States, thus the electoral college win of Trump. 

Jeremy Corbyn and the General Election - Update 3- GE2017

Telegraph - Live Reporting: Reports in its 12.39pm post the following, " Asked if he would stand down if Labour loses the general election, Jeremy Corbyn said: "We are campaigning to win this election, that's the only question now" "

Lets Get Real:

Jeremy Corbyn the Labour Leader lives in own deluded World, even if Labour loses by a big amount the hard left will make sure that Corbyn stays on in power, they have been on the outside for decades, they do not want to lose the chance of controlling the Labour and the left in UK politics.   LET BE CLEAR, Labour is heading for a thrashing in the General Election, it will make 1983 General Election look like happy hour.   The UK voter is not going to vote for a leader who will not press the nuclear button, the electorate will support a strong leader, that is why Lady Thatcher won 3 general election in a row.   The UK if it is not careful could become a ONE PARTY State. 

GE 2017 - Update 2

Daily Mail: Reports " The most recent polls suggest Mrs May could get a Commons majority of 100 or more. She leads Jeremy Corbyn by more than 30 per cent when voters are asked who would make the best PM.  "

Lets Get Real:

THIS General Election could be a walkover, of course in a Democracy THINGS HAPPEN, what if the US goes to war with North Korea, the UK is was part of the Alliance troops that fought in the Korean War, thus we could be dragged in, also there is always a scandal, with the exception of the above it looks like the Labour Party is walking on to No Man's Land and there is no get out!!  The Election Manifestos of the political parties will be interesting, the Conservatives will push security, keep the UK's nuclear missiles and Brexit means Brexit, while Labour, God knows, Corbyn is made it clear he will never press the nuclear button, and wants a softer Brexit.   Thus 7 weeks of the General Election, this blog is a political geek, loves polls, debates, but endless 24/7 coverage of the election might even be too much of this geek, please after the election can we have some peace on the domestic front and abroad. 

UK General Election in 2017 - GE2017

BBC News Live Reporting: Reports that the Conservative PM, Theresa May has called an election for June 8th.

Lets Get Real: 

This is the best chance for PM May to gain her own majority at the General Election, I hear you ask, what about the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn, the answer is simple, NO CHANCE IN HELL. The UK voter has made it mind up about Mr Corbyn, to left wing, he does not support the UK having its own nuclear missiles.   The Liberal Democrats want to be run by the EU, while SNP wants out of the UK and if it is not careful, out of the EU.  Thus weeks of an General Election and the result will be a massive Conservative Majority. 

Did the US cause the North Korean Missile Failure - North Korean Crisis

Telegraph: Reports " North Korea's unsuccessful missile launch 'may have been thwarted by US cyber attack' "

Lets Get Real:

This would be an interesting development, the US caused problems for the Iran's nuclear plans through cyber warfare, the next stage it could be argued is to take down North Korea's nuclear structure without the use of a military strike.   Of course the problem is if NK thinks that the US did thwart the missile test it could take counter measures that could really cause a War.   One can only hope that the US and its Allies can keep a secret.   If the CIA and the NSA did the cyber attack it was a good job, they have earned their pay for the month. 

The TRUTH and North Korea - North Korean Crisis

Guardian: Reports "  Reuters reported one US official as saying it was confident the failed projectile was not an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). "

Lets Get Real:

It is HARD to know the truth about North Korea, it is one of the most closed societies in the World, no Internet, no anything, everything run by the Government, the people of North Korea think that it was the West that started the Korean War.   Thus the FAILED missile might have been an ICBM or not, the Western intelligence networks will have to work it out, as the test was a failure there is no need at the present for a Crisis.   The US and the West should just ignore North Korea, it always has it hand out for food and money, if it spent less on defence it could feed its people.   China as the big brother has to deal with NK, it is on their doorstep, better that China deal with the problem that the West having to take military action.

DID North Korea's ICBM FAIL? - North Korean Crisis

Daily Mail: Reports " According to a military official the weapon is 'presumed to be a new ICBM' as it is longer than the existing KN-08 or KN-14 missiles. "

Lets Get Real:

As long as North Korea's ICBM's fail then the Oval Office does not need to react, the failure speaks for itself, of course from failure the North Korean regime will learn to improve its faults.  Thus during a Trump Presidency there might be a need for a US strike on NK.   One would hope the CIA and the NSA have their eyes and ears open to check what is going on in NK.   Also the CIA should be hacking the NK system, seeing if it can slow down the development of a working ICBM.   Thus this crisis will pass, but it will return one day, and that day might be sooner than we think.   This is long term developing story.

US and North Korea - North Korean Crisis

Fox News: Reports " Despite North Korea's provocations, U.S. officials have said that the U.S. doesn't intend to use military force against North Korea in response to either a nuclear test or a missile launch. "

Lets Get Real:

The US should only take military action if North Korea develops a ICBM that can hit the US, otherwise the Oval Office should dismiss the issue, no giving in to blackmail threats, just tell North Korea they can do what they like in North Korea, with exceptions, and the US will not give them money or food, if they want to starve their people that is their problem.   These outbursts by North Korea is getting OLD, the West has played this game before, just dismiss it and get on with the defence of US allies in the Asia.   The Trump Administration has to be firm with China, control your idiot brother.

North Korean Missile Failure - North Korean Crisis

BBC News: Reports " A North Korean missile has detonated soon after launch, South Korean and US military officials have said, a day after Pyongyang warned the US amid rising tension in the region. "

Lets Get Real:

THIS blog predicted NO WAR this weekend, the various factors, POTUS was in Florida and the VP was travelling to South Korea, also the North Korean missile failed.   This is not the first failure, but it shows that for all the PR by North Korea it can not follow through.   Thus one expects that Trump will place more pressure on China to curtail its neighbour, also make it clear that a nuclear test is a test to far.   One hopes that Pyongyang has learned its lesson and will not try a nuclear test, that would force POTUS to react, let us hope  everyone is on the same page, War next week does not look likely, POTUS back at the White House and the VP is still travelling in Asia.
