Doctor Who Review - The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos


Lets Get Real:

The Doctor got 9 distress calls, so the TARDIS crew flew into a battlefield.   The TARDIS landed on a ship, there was one crew member left, he could not even recall his name, the Tardis crew discovered that the plant had a strange effect on the brain, then the crew found that they faced an old enemy, the Doctor and her companions went to rescue the captured crew members.   On the way the Doctor and Graham discussed what Graham wanted to do with the ( spoiler ).   The Doctor ordered Graham back to the TARDIS but Graham said no, he had unfinished business with ( spoiler ).   The Doctor and her companions found that ( spoiler ) had captured five planets by ( spoiler ).   The Earth then came under threat, the Doctor used the TARDIS to take the planets back home.   This was thrilling epic end to the season, the review is limited as not give to much spoilers,  it tied up some lose ends and showed that the companions did not just do what the Doctor ordered.   There is a New Year special on January 1st 2019, but then we fans have to wait for 2020 for a new season of Doctor Who.   The one critic of the new season is that it needed long term arc, the stand alone shows were great, but it would have been nice to have an arc and for the Doctor to have more of a in depth relationship, the rebooted Doctor Who works when the Doctor has some one or thing to lose, that he/she really cares about.

Will the PM go back to the EU ? - Brexit Update 3 - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

The PM has to find her inner Lady Thatcher, Mrs T would NEVER had taken the EU Deal, the PM has to get her handbag out and make it clear that the UK is not some third rate power, we are the UK and we do not take demands from Europe, we did not from WW1 to WW2 and we are not going to start now.   It is time for Mrs May to be a bloody stubborn woman, not make requests and be nice, hit the table and make it clear that if there is no new deal then the EU will not get its billions.    This is the time for the UK to stand strong, we have won in other difficult times, let us not fail now. 

Will there be a Conservative Leadership Contest ? Brexit Update 2 - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

IF the PM loses by over a hundred votes it will be very hard for the PM to stay on, she has lost her authority already, no one is afraid of her or the Chief Whip, the Conservative Party needs a leader who wants BREXIT and supports the vote on 2016.   It might be to late for Boris Johnson, he would be an risky leader, he might be good at a General Election but he could be a disaster as PM.   The elite hard remainers in the news stations are not hiding their contempt for the voter, they think Brexit supporters are idiots who do not understand the the real world, it could be the elite who do not understand the old South Wales mining areas, they have been LEFT BEHIND by the Global World.   It might be their own fault, they have always supported Labour, and did not get the fact that mines no longer made money, no matter what kind of community you have, if brass is no longer being made an industry will go under.   South Wales was left behind, after the coal mining strike of the 1980s, that is why the voted out of the EU, new buildings do no make business. 

The Brexit Deal and the House of Commons - Brexit Update 1 - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

It is reported that the PM and No 10 will look at the House of Commons maths on Monday night, if the numbers are not good the PM should scrap the vote on Tuesday, the PM should return to the EU and say that the backstop has to go, it will never pass the House of Commons, the DUP needs to be bought back on board and the HARD BREXIT supporters have to be given a bone, they need some reason to vote for a reformed DEAL.    The Labour Party is keeping its cards close to its chest, Jeremy Corbyn is a hard brexit supporter but he leads a Party that has been taken over by remainers!!  The next week will be interesting, there are so many options, hard to see any getting passed the House of Commons.

Will the Brexit Vote Go Ahead ? - Part 2 - Brexit Update 1 - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

The PM needs to pull the Brexit Deal, it will not pass, and could bring down the Conservative Government, the EU does watch UK News, they know that if there is not be a No Deal Brexit then they have to give more concessions.  Mrs May has to go to the EU and find her inner Lady Thatcher, just say the UK has demands, they are not open to debate, discussion, the Northern Irish Backstop has to GO, also the Government should demand that the UK does not have to pay billions to the EU.   If the PM wants to remain in No 10 then she has to be tough, be a bloody stubborn woman, start throwing her handbag about as Lady T would have done. This is the time for the UK PM to remind the EU that the UK is the UK it is not some small country, we make demands, we do not take demands. 

The Russian Investigation - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

This blog has no time for President Trump, it has been clear in that, but the latest information from the special prosecutor does not reach the level of impeachment, having deals with Russia is NOT A CRIME, the President has the right to say what he likes in public, if the special prosecutor is trying to make a case that the Twitter feed of POTUS is illegal the will be laughed out of town.   CNN is acting as if this is Watergate, they have given up being objective a long time ago.   The question is simple, will the Republicans in the House or Senate stop supporting Trump, the answer is NO, the Trump is base is to powerful.   The liberal elite media want to impeach Trump no matter what, the old hands in the Democratic Party will recall that the Republicans tried to impeach Bill Clinton only with Republican votes, the President was cleared by the Senate and the Republicans lost seats in the House.  The LIBERAL BASE might need feeding, but the Democrats have to think about 2020, they do not want to give the impression that their sole interest in getting at Trump.   The ONLY way that POTUS could come under threat is if he lied under oath, anything else is BS, so sad to see CNN go down the toilet.

Will there be a Vote on Tuesday December 11th ? - Brexit Update - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

As reported in the The Sun, The Daily Mail and The Times, the option of not having a vote on December 11th is on the table.   The PM should run with this strategy, it is bad politics to lose control of your future actions, the PM should go back to the EU and say the DEAL is not GOOD ENOUGH, that the UK has demands, and they are not up to debate, the Northern Irish Backstop has to go, it in many respects removes Northern Ireland from the UK, that is not what Northern Ireland wants at the present.  The PM has to go gain control of her Party, if being friendly does not work she should try FEAR, backbench MPs should always be afraid of the Chief Whip and No 10, once you lose that it is hard to govern, just ask Sir John Major.
