The Queen's Speech 2007

The Queen has already left Buckingham Palace and, as a hangover from an age of more prickly government-monarchy relations, a dispensable government whip is left as a "hostage" to ensure Her Majesty's safe return home.

"If you don't return our Queen forthwith we shall keep hold of your random back bench non-entity!"

"Our cameras have been rolling all the time - I'm told that if we turn the sound right up, we can hear Her Majesty's arrival and the solemn punching up."

I read that as The Queen has already left Buckingham Palace with a hangover

No expense spared at the BBC.

Three books!

Fucking hell that marching band going through Westminster this morning made a racket. Don't they know there's office blocks around here?

Copies of the House of Lords series of Hansard, I think.

just look at these THREE GREAT BIG BOOKS!

I thought it looked like those dodgy Readers Digest Abridged collections.

"If you've got a history book, throw it in the dustbin it's worthless"

To commemorate the end of the crisis, the Post Office has issued a special stamp featuring the Queen and the Prime Minister kissing.
