PM May in the House of Commons - Brexit Update 3 - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

The Daily Mail has been very supportive the PM, but even they can see the writing on the wall, the UK-EU Deal is dead on arrival, so what is the point of the PR campaign by the PM.   The article reports that the No 10 will try to get Labour MPs to support the Deal, good luck with that, even Labour Hard Brexit supporters have stated they will oppose the deal, why take the heat of supporting something if it is going nowhere.   On the whole is must be boring for the reporters, the next two weeks will not change the result, of course the PM could be going for a 2nd House of Commons vote, that might work if the Markets fold, but that is a great gamble, like the rest of the UK voters this blog just wants it OVER. 

What if the May's Brexit Plan fails? - Brexit Update 2 - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

Well the above is  NON ANSWER, will the PM go back to the EU, will she resign, will she do a deal with the other Parties, or will she call an election.  One is starting to suspect that No 10 is starting to believe its own press statements, that is NOT GOOD in political terms.   So lets see the options, if the PM was crafty she would go for a No Deal Brexit, that would frighten the Opposition Parties and the hard remainers in the Conservative Party.   If the PM followed that route then the Aces would be held by her, the EU would come running for a deal, and the Opposition Parties would be forced to deal.  The question is the PM a  good politician, if the General Election is anything to go by then the answer is NO, she is no Lady Thatcher. 

PM May on her Brexit Deal - Brexit Update 1 - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

The UK/EU Withdrawal Agreement and the Political declaration on the future relationship will not PASS the House of Commons.   Thus the question what is the point, this blog can not see the political master plan that gets the House of Commons to pass the deal.   However much the PM goes on the road to sell the deal it will not pass, most of the press is against it, even those considered loyal to the Government.  One theory is that that PM May wants the economic markets to crash and then bring the agreement back to the House of Commons, but what if that does not happen, it has been suggested that the markets might take time to react.  Of course the question is will the PM be leader if she loses her vote in the House of Commons, are we going to have a leadership contest, that could take a couple of weeks.   One just wishes that Brexit was finished, one way or another, we shall the result of March 29 2019. 

Doctor Who Review - The Witchfinders


Lets Get Real:

This was a fine historical episode, but as the Doctor pointed out when she was a bloke she did not have to put up with been talked down too, of course when it's King James 1 it must irk the Time Lord more.  The episode starting with the Doctor and the companions thinking they were going to the coronation of  Queen Elizabeth 1, of course the TARDIS is not playing ball, one gets the impression that the TARDIS is not too happy with a female Doctor, she was the only long standing woman in the Doctor's life, watch the Doctor's Wife for more details.  The Tardis crew found themselves in the early 17th Century and Witch trials, the Doctor could not save a suspected witch, this new series shows that the Doctor can not save everyone.    It was fun to see the TARDIS crew join up with the King, it was fun to see the King have the hots for one of the companions ( the King was gay ) also talking down to the Doctor, that does not happen often, even King's outrank Time Lords.   It was also excellent to see that the Doctor did not have the solution at first, it took time, it makes for a more interesting Doctor, some of them have had a God Complex.   The Doctor was nearly drowned by the King as he saw her as a witch, but they short of formed an alliance to defeat the alien threat, and it was alien threat.  A must see episode, the Doctor and the crew were excellent as usual, but the guest starts nearly stole the show, more of King James 1 please.
