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.

surely the bodyguards and MI5 and Scotland Yard and tons of barbed wire, the soldiers in the fuzzy hats are enough to keep her safe without bringing God into the equation too?

Re: The Queens speech
 

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.

Would you prefer 'President' Blair and Bonio mouth instead then ?

By the Sex Pistols? I like that. Regarding the queen? Who cares? I never watched it at home and I aint gonna start now.

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.

Always liked Motorhead's cover version myself .....but I totally agree with the rest of the sentiments ....

We were usually too busy with the food and beer to be bothered with some old German bint ...

Yes.

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.

We have more in common than I ever thought we would.

Cake or death? ;)

Another 29 year old Republican student eh !

That answer tells me you're a complete idiot. Apart from your obvious dodging of my questions...

If I was Republican, I’d obviously be pro-monarchy for f**k sakes.
