Speechifying

Today is when the Queen gets up in Parliament and basically outlines what on earth this next Government's getting up too. She should be fairly used to it, mind, having survived about a dozen Prime Ministers. You can find the BBC News live feed here.

Unfortunately, several parts of the Queen's Speech, such as the scrapping of identity cards and the Lib Dem proposal of pupil premiums, have been leaked to the press. Indeed, the leaks have extended themselves to the Evening Stanners, where we discovered an attempt to modernise the rhetoric of the speech, so that it might appeal to an electorate of the 21st Century...




I'm representing for them monarchs across the world

Still treating them corgies with some Rolos, girl


Still taking my time to perfect the Speech

And I still got love for the beach

Clegg: Cowabunga dudes...

Bill: SHUT UP, CLEGG!
