I like to watch the Queens speech in the morning

Foot in mouth moment

Should have been honest and just said, 'why would anyone want to watch a load of bulls*t from the head of a benefit scrounging german immigrant family'

Did you know that the Saxe-Coburg's keep with the german tradition of opening xmas pressies on the 24th?

So in balance, a bit of the 'evening before the morning'

Not just Germans, many countries do this. Frees up Christmas day for doing stuff, or just eating and sleeping while the kids play with their toys!

3pm is a daft time if they want people to watch it, as people are generally either still eating lunch or if they've had lunch already, asleep on the sofa.

And a good way to celebrate, because it elongates the festive period...

But one would have thought that given Britain doesn't by tradition do this, our head of state would keep in step!

It's all about being a diverse and tolerant society - everybody is free to celebrate midwinter as they please!
I'll probably be celebrating in my own way:

Christmas Eve, working, then frantically wrapping presents after the kids go to bed, then drinking on the sofa and watching crap on TV
Christmas Day, cooking dinner, presents, drinking, eating dinner, drinking, TV, sleep.

We never watch the queens speech. Not because we're anti-royal, just because there is usually something more interesting happening. Or we're asleep.

Absolutely...

Just a shame though that in order to become an elected representative in the UK you have to swear allegiance to an imposter...

Maybe not as diverse and tolerant a society as you believe?

So whatever has been said about who saw that annual dross and when it was watched is totally irrelevant!

 

[crystal ball]

I wonder if the freeloader in chief will get a mention this year?

 

[Notch7]

Corbyn did make himself look a bit silly -but it hardly warrants the coverage.

Corbyn said he visits a homeless shelter on Christmas day -is that not something to applaud?

 

[JP_]

It is all a bit silly. Maybe he made a deliberate mistake to get the coverage showing that he actually visits the homeless and helps people, rather than just sit on a fat tory arse all day, drinking brandy and opening more presents while the queen is on in the background. It's one of those things - almost all politicians will say they watch the queen, but I bet if you peaked into their homes at 3pm you'll find most doing something else.

Yes I too like to hand out a few bowls of soup for one hour on one day a year to ease my conscience, before settling down sitting on the floor in my anorak to watch my "IRA Greatest Hits" boxed set, before phoning my HAMAS friends to express my seasonal solidarity with them, and ask how I may be of more service in the forthcoming year. The it's out for a bit of jolly singing of "Happy Birthday to Jesus" at the front doors of my Jewish friends.

Then I will await the arrival of my Divine Abacus in tight Elf suit before we tuck in to some mulled Vensuealan gruel and work out how much free stuff we would like to give away to scroungers and illegals this festive season. Then we finish a top Christmas evening by watching the New Year's day live match.

UNFORGIVABLE: Not watching the Queen’s Christmas message

ABSOLUTELY FINE: Lying to her face

A bit early to be on the sauce isn't it, not Christmas yet

also, nobody watches the Queen's speech on Christmas day....

 

[mattylad]
