2017 - Year of Change?

2016 was a defining year.

Of course the celebrity deaths were huge! David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Victoria Wood, Terry Wogan, Prince, Harper Lee, George Michael, Caroline Aheren, as well as many others!

Many icons sadly died last year.

Also there was huge political moments that world was witness too.

Let's start in Britain.

Well the Conservatives had a huge year, firstly David Cameron kept his election promise of a referendum on whether Britain should stay within the European Union or not.

Not won, and we voted to leave (yay), which prompted David Cameron to resign as Prime Minister and Tory leader, which paved way for the Tories second woman leader in Theresa May, who is not only the Tories second woman leader, but Britain second woman Prime Minister.

Labour had a pretty big year as well, firstly Labour won the London Mayoral election, Sadiq Khan beating Zac Goldsmith (despite being a Tory I was glad of this defeat for the Tories).

This is possibly the only good news Labour had all year.

The referendum on the EU was rather turbulent for Jeremy Corbyn's leadership. Firstly, he reluctantly backed to remain, and told his Labour MP's to not share a platform with the remain Tory politicians, I think some Labour politicians didn't get the message because Harriet Harman, Sadiq Khan, Tessa Jowell and ex Labour leader Neil Kinnock all shared a platform with the Tories......

Due Jeremy's lack of passion for the remain campaign, and the fact that remain lost, the "moderate" Labour MP's decided to start a coup against his leadership.

It started off with Hilary Benn, who was sacked for admitting to Jeremy what he was planning, which then saw a mass resignation.

Cornyn's leadership looked pathetic, the "moderates" then decided to wager a leadership bid against Corbyn, starting with Angela Eagle, who's big was rather doomed from the start, and then unknown MP Owen Smith.

Of course Jeremy Corbyn won, on my birthday no-less, with a higher majority than before. Was a wonderful present to give to me from the Labour party! Thank you.

Then of course there's USA's politics, Hilary Clinton vs Donald Trump.

A bit like being forced to choose between chlamydia or genital herpes, out of a population of 318 million these two were the finalists.

Sadly chlamydia won in the form of Donal Trump.

Donald Trump the worlds most homophobic, racist, misogynistic arse wank.

Then again a day before the voting Clinton thought it was vitally important to do the "mannequin" challenge with her celebrity friend Jon Bon Jovi.

The rest of the world had a pretty turbulent time, France and Belgium being hit from ISIS terrorist attacks, Syria is in a devastating state, Assad and his Russian and Iranian friends blasting bombs, as well as ISIS trying to fight back, with the people stuck in the middle.

The far right seems to be on the increase, especially in Europe.

So that's a quick over brief of 2016, what can 2017 offer.

Well what will happen is Donald Trump will go from President elect, to the President of the USA as Barack has to hand over the most powerful office in the world to a clown in a suit.

Theresa May will try to trigger article 50 to start the processing of Britain leaving the EU, which will more than likely be blocked by our democratically elected MP's.

This block may then make Theresa May trigger a snap election, which would be disastrous for Jeremy Corbyn has Labour are polling at all time lows at the moment, and therefore would most likely lose seats than gain any.

In fact Theresa May couldn't have a better opposition leader, Corbyn hasn't been seen doing or saying much lately, even one of closest allies, Len McCluskey the Unite Union leader, has said that if Corbyn keeps Labour this low in the polls he will have to go..... such a shame.

Also let's hope we see minimal terrorism attacks around the world, and Syrian people get to finally live in peace and rebuild their lives.

Let's also hope ISIS/IS/Daesh are defeated for good.
