Abortion in the US - Who decides?

BBC News: Reports " Mississippi abortion: US Supreme Court to hear major abortion case "

Lets Get Real:

One hopes that the SUPREME COURT follows past cases and rejects the Mississippi law, the right of  a woman to have an abortion is between her and her Doctor.  Conservative Judges if they are really CONSERVATIVE, will follow the Classical Liberal view, that the role of the Government should be limited, one can argue that the Conservatives who oppose abortion are really LIBERALS, they want to allow the STATES to decide on the nature of abortion.   This blog has always SUPPORTED abortion on demand, its a privacy issue, and who wants to see a baby born who is not wanted and can have a negative results for ALL.   If the Supreme Court does restrict abortion one can expect the LIBERAL Democrats in the US Congress to allow abortion on demand, that will really irk so called Conservatives.   The Supreme Court should leave the issue alone, it has been decided. 

Israel and Gaza - Update Part 3 - Middle East

Guardian: Reports " Israel vows not to stop Gaza attacks until there is ‘complete quiet’.....Defence minister rules out ceasefire as Israeli military says it has killed four senior Hamas commanders  "

Lets Get Real:

The Israeli Government has to finish this problem once and for all, one can not have a gun held to ones head ALL THE TIME.   The Gaza is in the hands of Hamas a terrorist group, that group is seen as a terrorist group by the rest of the World.  Israel has the DUTY AND RIGH to protects its homeland and its citizens.   The operation should be quick, otherwise the West, will get its knickers in twist over the treatment of the Palestinians, the likes of the CNN, BBC News, Guardian, the FCO in the UK is very pro Arab and anti Israel, no matter who is in No 10, will start to be critical of Israel and its military power.  Some problems can never be solved, and the truth is, they should not be solved, there will never be a two State solution, that kind of end would be a THREAT to the State of Israel, life is unfair, that is the way it is. 

Israel - Gaza - Israel defends its homeland from terrorists

Sky News: Reports " On Wednesday Hamas confirmed Israeli reports that one of its senior operatives - the brigade commander for Gaza City - had been killed. Israeli security service Shin Bet said he among 16 military targets who died. "

Lets Get Real:

Israel has the duty and right to defend its homeland from terrorists, the Hamas group in Gaza in a terrorist body, and is seen as such by most of the World.  Israeli Intelligence is one of the best in the World, so they are able to target terrorists in Gaza with more precision than one would have expected.  This latest low level battle will burn it self out after a few days and the sides will go back to their limited Cold War, Israel does not want Gaza, but it also does not want to face the threat of constant terrorism from the place, Israel should really think of clearing HOUSE in Gaza. 

Latest from Israel - Gaza - Threat of War

BBC News: Reports " The deadly exchange of fire between Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip and the Israeli military has escalated significantly, with the UN fearing a "full-scale war".  "

Lets Get Real:

The above happens every few years, it has its internal cycle, either side does something that causes the other side to react with arms.  The present crisis deals with attempts by the Israel to evict Arabs from the Capital.   The threat of a full scale WAR is over egged, Israel is the big power in this contest, they could invade Gaza and clear OUT Hamas but it would be very bloody for both sides, give it a few days, and there will be another cease fire, and the West will get its knickers in twist trying to solve a problem that can not be solved and makes the Arabs happy.  This blog is a clear supporter of Israel, it is about time that the Israeli Government cleared Hamas from Gaza, the poor bloody people there deserve some PEACE, that goes for Israel also. 

The FAILURE of Sir Keir Starmer - Labour Reshuffle - Boris Era

BBC News: Reports on the aftermath of Sir Keir Starmer's messy reshuffle, " Sir Keir's critics on the left of the party filled, almost with glee, to push him for a change in direction. "

Lets Get Real:

This is Sir Keir's first reshuffle, and on the face it, one can say that it was messy, and the worse PR and Sir Keir will have to look behind when the Shadow Cabinet shows him no loyalty.  That might also be true of HIS Deputy, who he hung out as a symbol of the failure of Labour to win the important by - election and the losing of hundred of Council Seats.  The Labour Party needs a leader with CHARISMA, very much like Tony Blair in the 1990s.  The problem with Sir Keir is that he has no charisma and acts like PMs Questions as if he is still charge of the prosecution service, he almost expects the Speaker to ACT like a JUDGE, and that is not the role of the Speaker of the House of Commons.   The Labour Party needs a new direction, it needs to renew its relationship with the working class, there will never be enough graduates to vote Labour in to power.  It is not written in stone that the Labour Party has to EXIST.  Sir Keir does not have ALL the time in the World, the Shadow Cabinet or the left wing of the Party could strike and challegen him for the leadership.

Labour Civil War AFTER Sacking of Labour Deputy - The Sir Keir Starmer Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 7.49pm the following post, "  He's scapegoating everyone apart from himself'...Former shadow chancellor John McDonnell has posted his reaction to Angela Rayner being sacked as Labour party chair.....He points out that yesterday Sir Keir Starmer had said he would take full responsibility for the party's poor election performance. "

Lets Get Real:

The LACK of response from Ms Rayner shows that she could have been bought off with a senior job in the Shadow Cabinet, the present Shadow Chancellor is not up to much and could be replaced.   The Labour LEFT wants the Labour Party to go extreme LEFT, this would be a mistake by Sir Keir, it would make sure that the Labour Party LOST the 2024 general election.  Someone needs to remind the Scottish First Minister, that only the UK House of Commons can grant a 2nd IndyRef vote, anything else would be illegal and could see the SNP breaking the law and facing harsh charges of sedition.  In looking further at the LABOUR problem, it can be said in a few words, the MODERN Labour Party does not understand working class people, its main support group are city dwellers, University Graduates and nutty WOKE supporters, if Labour is to get back in to the winning lane it needs to ditch the metro elite and reconnect with the working class, otherwise its finished as a political PARTY. 

Labour's Civil War - The reaction to Thursdays Elections - Politics

BBC News: Reports " Labour's deputy Angela Rayner has been sacked from her roles as party chair and campaign coordinator following poor results in the English local elections.  "

Lets Get Real:

It seems that Sir Keir's taking of responsibility for Labour's disaster in losing the  Hartlepool by-election and other local elections lasted less than 24 hours, thus he has shafted his Deputy, this will cause anger among the LEFT WING of the Party, it will be interesting to see how Ms Rayner reacts to the sacking, it does not look good, the article notes that Ms Rayner is expected to be given another job in the Shadow Cabinet, the sacking will undermine her presence in any JOB.   Sir Keir can not sack Ms Rayner as his Deputy, she was elected by the members, also how will Sir Keir reshuffle the Shadow Cabinet, will he go LEFT OR RIGHT.   In Scotland the SNP has own a fourth term in Government, they will push for a second IndyRef 2, Boris Johnson should say a FIRM NO, make the SNP take the first move, a wild IndyRef 2 would be illegal, lets hope that SNP go for that, the leaders can be arrested or they can go to Brussels, share a flat with Spanish politician who tried that in his region and had go in external exile, the Spanish Police on his tail.  In Wales the good management of the COVID  crisis has been of benefit to the Labour Party, another 5 years of Wales in charge in Cardiff, not that shocking an outcome, SOUTH WALES will always bail them out.  As for the Conservatives it was a great election, winning the by - election, also keeping Conservative Mayors and gaining new councils and councillors.  The results show that 2019 was not a fluke, the Conservatives are the Party of the working class, that is a changes the politics of the UK.
