Channel 4 - Alternative Xmas Speech

Apparently Channel 4 will, at the same time as the Queen;s Speech, be showing their "alternative christmas speech" which is to be given by a Muslim woman wearing a veil

Any thoughts?

Is it offensive? Attention seeking? Is a muslim woman about to be used on some media stunt? etc etc etc

I think the queen should respond by doing hers in thong bikini!

In the past it`s been Sharon Osbourne, Marge Simpson and Ali G.

I`ve never watched the above (never seen the queens either) but I remember they always publicise it every year.

I think it is attention seeking really to have it as a muslim women as they know there will be a bit of controversy over it. (Wouldn`t suprise me if it turns out to be Avid Merrion or something)

Someone remind me, why do we need a speech from the Queen on Xmas day?

Is she a personal friend of Jesus or something?

What we need is an alternative Queens speech done by Rory Bremner as the Queen in a veil.
