The Queens speech
I have just looked on the BBC America website for Christmas day and they are not showing the Queens speech! Can this sh1te channel stoop any lower to alienate its viewers?
Does anyone else have a suggestion for viewing this?
Cheers and God Save the Queen!!!!!

Assuming it to be at 3pm BST I shall listen to it on the radio from a traditional stand point.

A good thing.
Why anyone would want to hear an irrelivent old woman talk about stuff she has no interest in or the remotest connection to is beyond me.

15:00hrs - 3pm - GMT (not BST) simultaneously on BBC1, BBC2, ITV1. BBC Radio 2, Radio 4 and Radio 5 Live. Plus various independent channels. Channel 4 TV at the same time is the Alternative Christmas Message given by a British Muslim woman.

Please explain the relevance of the queens speech in the globalize modern world of 2006?
Tradition and sentimentality doesn't count.
Seriously. They exist today because one day (hundreds of years ago) someone decided they were better than the people around them and persuaded those people that they were superior. It's the same concept that keeps them in power today by the way.
The concept today beggars belief though. We now have the benefit of scientific achievement, knowledge and the understanding that "hey this is ****ed up because their sh1t stinks just like mine", but people still hold onto something that’s a joke. And that’s part of why I am in another country.
