Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is to give Channel 4’s alternate Queen’s speech (for Americans and others unfamiliar with the concept, Her Majesty comes on the telly box at about 3 every Christmas day and gives a speech about the year). Channel 4, a rival commercial network has had a few ‘alternatives’ to this in recent years, the only ones I can remember being Ali G and some veiled Muslim woman. But Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?! That’ll be a good laugh after the Christmas dinner! “Good evening decadent infidels of the west! Down with Israel, up with Iranian nuclear proliferation!”
It’s gonna be hard to top next year, I’ll give them that.
