The LEFT and Brexit - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

The left elite in the UK will use any reason to try and block BREXIT.   The elite left wants to be ruled by the EU, it wants a Federal Europe, this is not the wish of most of the people in the UK, that is why the UK voted to leave the EU.   The Labour Party has to be careful that it does not get the image that it is a Party out of touch with its core voters.   The Labour leadership is attempting to keep leavers and moaning remainers happy, one or the other will feel that the Party has betrayed them sooner or later.  The UK voter wants Brexit to mean Brexit. 

The SNP stoke up Brexit Fears - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

The SNP is playing the FEAR game again, they have not gotten the FACT that the Scottish voters want to remain in the UK and out of the EU.  It is because the Conservatives gain in Scotland that there is a Conservative Government in power, the Scots know that Scotland out of the UK would be a bad deal, the SNP having failed to get a indy vote the first time want to try for another one, the UK Government should say NO, the UK is the United Kingdom, we are united.   Without a Indy vote what is the point of the SNP.  One thing Jeremy Corbyn has been clear about is the fact that the UK will leave the Single Market and the Customs Union, thus SNP can not back up its demands in the House of Commons. 

I am not a Racist - President Trump - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

POTUS has admitted using strong language in a meeting with Democrats and Republicans, but has denied using the term shithole to describe African Nations and some of the Nations of the Americas.   The question is not what is true, but the impression, one can see Trump using the term, but not in racist way, it can be argued that he meant poor Countries, the US has always been a beacon for the poor, millions from around the World have fled to the US, a place of 2nd chances.   Thus it can be postulated that Trump used the wrong phrase but is not  a racist, he simply made a mistake.

Bill & Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation - Post 2016 Election


Lets Get Real:

Whatever you think of Bill Clinton he would never use charity funds to pay for his Daughters wedding, he is rich enough, his speaking fees for a year would pay for outlay for the event.  Let's not forget that since leaving the White House the Bill Clinton has made millions from his boring book and from speeches.   This allegation has the smell of political revenge at play, you might not trust Bill Clinton with your sister, wife or daughter, but on the whole he is a honest bloke.   Also Bill Clinton has to deal with a wife who has lost the Presidency twice, that can be a burden, thus this allegation can be thrown in the bin. 

The future of DACA - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

It can be argued that the Democrats are playing with the issue, they know it gets its voters out in the Mid Terms, if they can make it look like that Trump is a the WALL to granting DACA subjects the right to live in the US without fear of being deported, then they have a chance of taking the House and Senate.    The Trump Oval should use that against the Democrats, create a Republican solution to DACA, grant amnesty to DACA subjects, that would wrong foot the Democrats and also the President could say that he is doing this out of love, his use of the term when it comes to this policy.  This would allow the Republicans to get the subject off the table and also get some votes, all politics is local as a old House Speaker used to say. 

Labour BETRAYS Voters over Brexit - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

The Labour Party will betray its core voters when it opposes the EU withdrawal bill, the Labour voters in the North want to leave the EU, its MPs should support the will of the British people and their voters.   Labour is trying to have it both ways, appealing to leavers and remainers, when Labour Shadow Ministers are interviewed they act like civil servants, not giving a direct answer to a direct answer, Corbyn wants to leave the Single Market and Custom Union as to allow a future Labour Government to take over sectors of the economy, think the 1970s, when UK was the sick man of Europe. 

CNN critical of Fire and Fury - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

An interesting part in the debate about Fire and Fury  by author Michael Wolff, it was CNN that took the author to task on how he managed to get in to the White House and get close up view of Trump in his FIRST year in office.  It seems that Wolff gave the impression that he would be nice about Trump, the reverse being the result, the author never had a sit down interview with the President, did not interview the Cabinet, it's like going to a shoe shop and not knowing the size of your feet and the shop trying to sell you any pair.   The blogger has bought the book, has not read yet, got it from my local bookstore, plan to read it with a nice cup of tea.
