Petshrew - look up the word 'facetious' in a dictionary - it applies to my rhetorical question as to how you know what is to come in the Queen's Speech.

The smart money waits until the Queen has finished reading before discussing what's coming up. Just a little tip for your future current affairs perambulations.
